I just love this song “No Such Thing As Girls Like That” and yes I’m here to admit to admit that secretly we do “all love to gyrate”. So cute and so true. Enjoy!
A Great Motivational Video
This video has the title of being the “Best Motivational Video” (well, okay, they said “motivate” instead of “motivational” but still) I just might have to agree. We sometimes forget that many of the greats have failed a time or two before becoming the successes that we know them as today.
Just remember…
“There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.” ~Colin Powell
Thank you to Susan Baker, Escape Hatcher for reminding me about this video.
Check it out…I’m in the Crave-LA book!
I totally forgot to get this up on the website. I was so focused on my upcoming Beyond Social Media Basics Intensive (we start Wednesday – woohoo!) that I just never got around to it.
I love the questions that they chose to accompany my spread. If you click on the image itself, it will take you to a full-size image that you can read.
If you’d like to purchase your own copy of this very cool guide to some fab and amazing women ($10), just drop me a note and we can make arrangements.
Google’s Matt Cutts Offers Up Link Building Advice
Anyone who runs a website wants to have high traffic. We want visitors, we want comments. And for quite some time now, Google has kept quiet about the algorithm they use to establish their search engine relevance and rankings.
Recently, they sent out their Quality Engineer and overall community liaison, Matt Cutts to share some strategies [video below]. I can’t say there’s really much here that’s new. I’ve been mentioning most of these strategies to my clients for a couple of years now (you read more about it my Five Keys to Succeed at Blogging eBook which you can get for free on the left hand side over there).
The basic strategies that Matt shares in the video below include:
- Create a Controversy
- Answer Questions (I love this technique and have been using it a bit more)
- Conduct Research & Discuss the Results
- Get Involved with Social Media (a total no brainer in my book)
- Create Lists (Top 10, 5 Reasons, etc)
- Get a Blog and Establish Yourself as an Authority
- Write How To’s and Tutorials (I love this technique and have been using quite a bit lately)
- Run a Service or Create a Product
- Make Videos That are Enjoyable (another way to use tutorials)
Cameron Herold: Let’s raise kids to be entrepreneurs [video]
I think one of the biggest reasons so many people have such poor money skills is because we were never actually taught how to handle money. I think the same thing can be said for running your own business…it’s just not taught!
I think Cameron Herold has it right, let’s raise our kids to be entrepreneurs (video from Ted below). Let’s teach them how to look at the world differently. And as Mahatma Gandhi said, “be the change you want to see in the world.”
We all know how entrepreneurs are all about making changes and getting those changes out and into the world.
It’s Time to Take Control of Your Online Presence
As you may have heard (if you follow me on Twitter or Facebook), I’m leading an upcoming 8 week tele-web series to help small businesses and solopreneurs to take control of their online presence and move beyond basic social media. I figure most people (by now at least) know how to create their social networking accounts, but they might not know how to use them effectively and often seem to feel a tad overwhelmed.
This course will help them learn how to optimize their social networking (while having fun participating in this awesome playground), claim and leverage their expertise and create a solid 3 or more pages in search engine results and more. And all without using any pay-per-click ads.
This course is by no means for everyone. It is geared specifically to the solopreneur or small business owner that is ready to take their business to the next level and really put themselves out there as an expert in their field.
I’m hosting a totally free preview call this coming Wednesday the 30th at 4:00PM Pacific.
The preview call will be focused on getting started creating your online presence and will cover the following:
- how to create your online tool kit to get the most from your online involvement
- how to build your brand and establish your online presence
- the biggest mistakes the uninformed small business owner makes when getting started with social networking
- how to pick which social networks are best for YOU, and your business and your strategy
- how to automate and manage your online presence using simple tools and a basic formula to help you make the most of your time networking online
- exciting new details about the upcoming telecourse series “Beyond Social Media Basics Intensive Sure-fire Strategies and Techniques to Gain Control of Your Online Presence, Dominate the Search Engines and Enjoy Your Social Networking (in less than 30 minutes day)”
- and more…
I invite you to join me on this free preview call. I promise, there won’t be a hard sell and there will be genuine information shared.
All the details about the call can be found here ==> reserve your virtual seat now!!
Hope to see you on the call!!
PS – a recording will be available after the call.
