Dear Fellow Small Business Owner and Entrepreneurial Spirit,
I've got a quick question for you…
Have you ever wished you could have such a strong Internet presence within your niche that the people in need of your help and services couldn't help but find you but:
So many entrepreneurs and coaches start their businesses with big dreams of making a difference and manifesting financial freedom only to spin their wheels, struggle like crazy and never make it happen.
Most spend their online doing what they think they should be doing…marketing and selling over and over to their network and followers…hoping it will result in more sales and new clients. No matter how hard they try or how much extra work they pile on, they get frustrated that there is little or no return on their social networking investment, their list barely grows and they remain stuck at their same income level.
"It can't be so hard?!?! There must be an easier way!"
Believe it or not, there is an easier way.
The problem is, most of the books and how-to resources are all stuck in an antiquated system using outdated models of marketing and selling that can only…
If these feelings sound all too familiar, please don't beat yourself up! It's not your fault! More than likely, you were trained to create a business using outdated and aggressive marketing techniques - if you were trained how to market at all. You're just doing what you can with the tools and techniques you were given.
There's really just one problem…
That plan that you've been following - that plan DOESN'T WORK.
Don't get me wrong, the old model has it's merits, but it doesn't really work so well with this newer, more social way of marketing. This all became apparent to me a few years ago when I was working on my community and getting started with blogging. The thing is, no one was really teaching this stuff in a way that made sense to solopreneurs and coaches. Or more to the point, no one was teaching you how to do it effectively in a way that can actually be doable within a normal business day.
Like many of you, I've paid thousands of dollars buying programs and courses and listening to teleseminars that promised big results, but then actually delivered little. I've spend hours upon hours researching the process, picking up pieces here and there, observing the so-called gurus only to realize that no one was teaching me what I needed to know…how to both claim and leverage my expertise to increase my traffic, sign more clients, and in the end, make more money.
I felt so frustrated. I knew that I was here to help. I knew that I had something to teach. But it was all so scattered. And in many cases, it was still so old-school.
So I took what I learned, combined it with what I knew and came up with something that works specifically for the solopreneur and small business owner.
Here's the key concept:
Creating a successful small business depends heavily on people knowing who you are, what you do and how they can find you.
And the SECRET WEAPON of that design is one simple and super lucrative component…
Claiming and leveraging your expertise.
Your expertise is what sets you apart from everyone else. And the greatest part…you're not limited to being an expert locally. You can be an expert anywhere in the world! And every time you name gets out there as an expert in your field, the easier you are to be found online. And the more it shows up online that you're considered to be an expert in your field - or even a celebrity - the better you look in the eyes of your future clients and customers. And the more your future clients and customers see you online, as the expert that you are, the more income you can make.
And my favorite part…the more income you make, the MORE YOU CAN HELP OTHERS. We're talking win/win all around here.
There are so many benefits to creating a strong online presence and claiming your expertise:
So you can see....the fastest way to start building a successful and thriving business is to claim your expertise and take control of your online presence ASAP.
But here's the problem....
While joining social networking sites is easy and free, knowing what to say, how to say it, when to say and well…just what to do to isn't always quite so simple. And being able to leverage your expertise to bring in more CLIENTS and more MONEY isn't quite so obvious. Many of you may have experienced the "I'm alone in a room, talking to myself" feeling that can come from using Twitter or Facebook without having any sort of relationship with your fans and followers.
Or, maybe you're so overwhelmed by the idea of social network that you just don't know where to start. You may not know a tweet from a hashtag or even the difference between a fan page and personal profile, and just the thought of creating blog or coming up with fresh content makes your head spin.
And how in the world do I have enough time in the day to post here, there and everywhere?!?! And let's not even mention keeping up with all the different accounts.
Whether you've tried social media, blogging, videos, interviews or not, I have an important question for you....
Does the process of creating your online presence---taking control of your brand and your message and engaging in social networking with actual results, clients and an increase in your income---seem like a pipe dream, an elusive fairy-tale that you'll never be able to actually DO yourself?
Some of you might be thinking, "Katy, creating a strong online presences and claiming my expertise sounds awesome, but I don't think I can learn the technical stuff, or get known as the expert.... I just don't think I can make money doing this!"
And others might be thinking "But I love the connection I feel when I work with clients 1-on-1. I'm afraid I'll lose that connection if I try to reach new clients virtually."
Or...."I have no idea what to say online. How can I be the expert without sounding like I'm full of myself"
I'll be honest with you, my first steps blogging and stepping out into the social networks were less than perfect. Far from it!
I remember telling my friends that I'd never get Facebook. I also remember seeing Twitter for the first time in 2006 I couldn't for the life of me figure it out or even figure out why someone would want to waste their time trying to figure it all out. Remember, everyone that started out in business and started to embrace social networks started from scratch.
And we've all made mistakes. We've all said the wrong thing. Asked an embarrassing question. I remember all too clearly not knowing that someone I posted in a group online somewhere would remain online for anyone to read or find.
To be honest, this kind of stuff STILL happens (I upset someone just the other day because of something I said and did on Twitter). I'm only human after all. Instead of pouting about my mistakes, I've learned how to turn my business snafus into a leveraged opportunity.
You can learn from my mistakes - to be honest, once you get started claiming your expertise and engaging fully online, you'll realize that you really can't mess things up. (All the more reason why you want to be in change of your online presence).
I've made my mistakes so you don't have to. I've come up with an easy and successful program that can help you and your business.
We've already made these mistakes so you don't have to, but if you do, we know how to "fix" it.
And I've got a proven track record – I have a strong online presence with well over 15 solid pages when you search for my name (with or without quotations around it - after the 15th page, you start getting other Katy's and other Tafoya's in Katy, Tx mixed in with the results here and there). I've been quoted in varies websites and articles. And I've asked to share my expertise and actually judge a contest (twice!) for an international web company.
So I have another question for you...
What if you had a mentor or coach to help you remove the stumbling blocks and hold your hand through the entire process?
I'm going to simplify your social networking process to help you implement each essential step so that you can optimize your social networking (while having fun participating in this awesome playground), claim and leverage your expertise, create a solid 3+ pages in search engines results and take control of your online presence - right from the beginning. And all without using any pay-per-click ads.
I've taken the best of the best secrets, what I've learned and used personally in my business, and created a proven system that specifically designed for solopreneuers and small businesses like yours.
I've taken all the guesswork out, and will show you exactly how to:
I'm giving you every single step and detail of my system, because without ALL of the steps, you won't experience the incredible results that are totally POSSIBLE for you.
You're about to get our entire system on claiming your expertise, creating and taking control of your online presence….and getting your message out in a HUGE way so you can create the transformation that you're called in your heart to create.
This isn't small potatoes we're talking about. This isn't for the faint of heart.
This series is by no means for everyone. This series is geared specifically to the solopreneur and small business owner that is read to take their business to the next levee, step out and really put themselves out there as an expert in their field.

"Keep your eye on her, she's always right on the pulse of social media, blogging, & staying relevant for business!"
"After thinking about starting a blog for months, Katy inspired me into action. I took 2 of Katy's workshops which helped me understand the basics & much more. I've received business I know came from my blog and have stayed ahead of the curve as a result of having a blog....thanks to Katy breaking it down for me. Not only did Katy helped me then, she continues to come from a place of contribution, provide insight, & tips for my business. She is a great resource & a wealth of knowledge. Keep your eye on her, she's always right on the pulse of social media, blogging, & staying relevant for business."

"I wouldn't hesitate to work with Katy in the future, she's a wonderful friend and great resouce!"
"I recently found myself in a job search after 18 years as a stay-at-home mom and small business owner. The whole concept of pitching myself, instead of my business, was scary & overwhelming, and I needed help focusing my skills, and resume, in order to stand out in this competitive marketplace. I've known Katy for years through a women's networking organization, and was aware of her skills to hone-in on specifics that would help me step out of my comfort zone and help me focus on what was important, and drop the unneccessary. In one meeting with Katy, she helped coach me with my resume, and confidence, to keep putting myself out there. I completely revamped my resume, lost the frivilous blather, and finally landed a new position in a creative field similar to my own. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Katy in the future, she's a wonderful friend and great resouce"

"Thanks to Katy I now Tweet, Facebook and navigate the social media universe with ease!"
"When I met Katy I was terrified of Twitter and barely using Facebook for more than a way to talk with my family. Now I have 185 Twitter followers, a Fan Page for my business and I routinely interact with other professionals that I never before would have been able to reach. Social media has deepened my professional relationships and brought me positive exposure that I never would have imagined, and I'm really clear that it was Katy's guidance, creative approach and her ability to demystify social media that opened those doors for me. Thanks to Katy I now Tweet, Facebook and navigate the social media universe with ease."

"No matter how web savvy you are or aren't, you will learn something from this mighty source of knowledge!"
"Katy not only knows her stuff, and is experienced in so many different aspects of online marketing, blogging, social networking, 8 million other things that I can't think of, but I also give her an "A" for explaining it so anybody can understand it. No matter how web savvy you are or aren't, you will learn something from this mighty source of knowledge. She's full of great ideas too!"

"It was such a treat to have you speak at the Walter Hoving Home, you patiently and lovingly handled each question the gals had, helping these women who are just coming out of a difficult situation trying to set their lives straight again. You were full of advice and helpful information that each participant could use. Thanks again, and I'm sure that we will have you speak again in the future."

"She knows the in's and out's of social media and broke it down into easy steps!"
"I had the pleasure of hearing Katy speak at a Business & Professional Women's luncheon. Katy was very knowledgeable. She knows the in's and out's of social media and broke it down into easy steps. She is very personable and seems very easy to work with. She definitely is the expert on blogging, twitter, facebook and all aspects of social media. "

Ready To Join In Or Do You Have A Few More Questions?
It's important to me that you feel completely comfortable before moving forward. So below are a few of the questions I get asked about social media and having an online presence all the time and my answers.
1. Okay, so is this a program for a newbie? What if I've been in business for years?
The "Beyond Social Media Basics Intensive" was designed so newbies and veterans alike will find tons of golden tools and techniques to improve your online and social interactions and increase profits. Wherever you are in your business, "Beyond Social Media Basics Intensive" will take you farther and help you to get known as the expert you are AND increase your income.
Plus, you'll be part of a like-minded community so you can get the support to grow bigger in real time.
2. This sounds like a lot of material — would I get overwhelmed?
I'll be honest, there is a lot of content and a lot of work that you'll be doing on your own here. It's so comprehensive because I want you to have every detail of every step. However, as a former teacher (and someone that can easily get frustrated or overwhelmed myself) I'm known for making complex things SIMPLE. I've been told that I have a real talent for breaking things down into easy to implement steps and making sense of the confusing.
4. Can't I just learn all this stuff on my own?
Sure. I tried it myself for many years. But to be honest, I wasted a lot of time, money and energy...and basically, all I got in return was heartache (and a whole lot of freebie an often times useless information). It wasn't until I invested in expert coaching myself and started teaching what I learned that I was finally able to put it all together and create a proven system.
Why gamble with doing it yourself? Here you don't have to re-invent the wheel. I can help save you all the frustration, stress and overwhelm now. I've already done the research for you and created a system that consolidates all the essential step. Learn from someone who has and is still doing it successfully!
