Twitter Sports Marketing Guide

Lewis Howes — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 07:02:56 +0000

We are excited to introduce the Sports Networker’s exclusive Twitter sports marketing guide. We have analyzed the top twitter users in sports and formulated some key steps on how teams are marketing their brand to interact and build a relationship with their fans, helping create some of the highest follower counts on Twitter.

Maintaining a strong relationship with your fans is probably one of the most important aspects of a sports team off the ice/field/court. Social networks are effective tools to improve those relationships with die hard supporters while also finding new fans. From the Lakers to Real Madrid, we have broken down their best techniques into five steps:

When in Doubt, Tweet
Respect the Fan
Use the Resources You Have
Follow Back and Listen
If it isn’t Broken, Don’t Fix it

While every sport and team appeals to different fan bases, utilizing social media is something that every sports organization can capitalize on. No matter if you’re involved with an amateur basketball team or in charge of a pro football team, you’re going to want to take a look to see the top ways to improve your brand. Remember, all support and encouragement counts when you’re chasing of the championship. Download the free guide by filling in your name and email below to see exactly how the top sports teams put out their ‘A game’ and learn ways to grow your own following.

Join The Sports Executives Association

Lewis Howes — Tue, 04 May 2010 16:24:19 +0000

The highly anticipated Sports Executives Association is live. Join in on the excitement today at www.SportsExec.net.

I started to receive an a lot of emails from people who wanted introductions to other executives in my network. They also were asking for tips, advanced training on various sports industry topics, and wanted to find partners to help during their career and in their sports business.

These weekly email requests were becoming overwhelming, and that’s when the idea of the SEA came to me. I realized there was a huge void in the online world for helping sports professionals receive ongoing education, connect with other top executives, and find a way to generate more opportunities.

S portsNetworker has assembled a platform, with the key sports executives involved that we are very excited about.

Mental And Physical Training – The Keys of a Champion

Lewis Howes — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 10:54:05 +0000

In order to be an elite athlete and win championships, you need to be strong both physical and mentally.

Having pure athleticism isn’t enough, as the visual and mental side of sports is the difference between sinking the last second shot to win the game, or chocking at the line and falling short of success.

This is true in your business or your career as well. Staying in great physical shape gives you the confidence you need to take on all of your challenges and projects throughout the day. And staying crisp on the mental side of things, while constantly educating yourself and your team on ways to improve your business is essential for achieving your own level of success.

Watch me try to catch my breath after a workout and share with you how the Sports Executives Association will help you achieve one of the two keys of being a champion in the sports industry.

Want to learn more about the S.E.A.? Make sure you sign up to stay informed about the launch date, and how you can get involved.

What are some other keys to being a champion? Could you fit them under one of these two keys, or can you add another key to this equation?
