The Social Media Buzz Club

Posted on by November 15, 2012

No, I’m not stealing their name, I’m just writing about it.

Hey you online marketers, virtual assistants, social media experts, etc….not heard of Social Media Buzz Club? Well jump onboard.

After some buggy issues it seems all is well in the club. I have to tell you, both owners, Laura Rubinstein and Kathryn Rose were a tremendous help. Calling me, setting up meetings to figure out why I could not get their system to work with me. I was also able to follow the discussions on their Facebook group and was surprised (ok, not) to see others were having the same problems. But, all is fixed now.

I’m not going to go into all of the details of the club, but to learn more about how to get more social media buzz using social buzz club and other insider tips click here. There is the free or basic membership and then there is the premium, of which I am. This is what Laura has to say:

“Social Buzz Club is for anyone with an online presence who wants to inform, educate, entertain or provide value to others. This unique community understands the power of promoting others great work. It is truly a place where marketing and relationships meet.”
Laura Rubinstein, President and Co-Founder of the Social Buzz Club

There are other’s that are raving about the club as well. Shelley Webb, Denise Wakeman and Amy Porterfield, to name a few……

Don’t miss out, join the club!

Infusionsoft and Me

Posted on by May 6, 2013

I have heard so many things about Infusionsoft. Some of them good, and some not so good. I know that quite a few of the internet marketers are now using it as well.

But, unfortunately, that doesn’t mean a lot to me.

I have a client that is in the process of switching everything over to Infusionsoft. So, that being said, I had to get on the bandwagon and start learning this. I had dug in my heels and was being “righteous” about it as it is very expensive and I could not see why anyone would pay that much money for this.

I know, I know, it has all the bells and whistles. It walks the walk and can hustle with the best of them, but it is not the be all and the end all! And after all of that, it is ecommerce and CRM. 

I have become an expert with 1ShoppingCart and it’s other players. I know pretty much, what is what. It’s simple, but that’s not to say, I didn’t have to spend time learning it. But, again, it was simple.

Most of my clients use 1ShoppingCart.

So, along comes this upstart promising you the moon. Your CRM will skyrocket, your leads and lead structure will blow all competitors out of the water. You will be an ecommerce god. All for the low, low price of many $$$$$$$$.

Now, back to my client that is switching. Very simple request, please put a form on my website so I can capture email addresses, name, shipping info, etc. I would like to send them a free CD. Ok, I can do that, right? 2 hours later, I figure it out, test it all and it is good. Whew, learning curve.

It’s now 2 weeks later and she would like a report know who to send the free CD to. Easy right? No way! I can’t search by date, I have to set up tags, sequences, etc to finally get to the results. I find this all out via a 3-hour chat on the support module (I waited 30 minutes first.) I can tell you, there was steam coming out of my ears at certain points. 

We did finally resolve this and at the end of the day, all is well.

So, the bottom line, simple form, simple request, complicated process

KISS!

BTW, I can attend their live training in Orlando, FL for 3 days for $595 or attend the virtual training for $0. Hmmm, which will be it?

You Can Create an Infographic with Ease

Posted on by August 27, 2012

So all the rage of late, is Pinterest and Infographics (not necessarily in that order.)

With that being said, I can across a wonderful article on HubSpot.I find lots of useful information from the articles I subscribe to from HubSpot. The article I read was Free Template: How to Easily Create Infographics in PowerPoint.

It says “easy” and it is, but I have to add that you have to have some basic knowledge of PowerPoint and have the actual software to create the infographic. Also, some basic knowledge of photoshop isn’t a must, but it does make it easier as well. The article is step-by-step instructions on how to create the infographic along with templates.

The infographic took me about 3 hours to make, but that did include creating the screen shots and editing it.

The inforgraphic here was created from a blog posting I had written a couple of weeks ago, titled:
“How to Use Video To Promote Your Business on Pinterest” and when I saw the article from HubSpot later, I knew I had the makings of a great infographic.

If you’re interested in creating this fun and informative graphic, read the article. If you think that cleaning windows is much more fun, then contact me and I will create one for you!

4 Secret LinkedIn Power Tools that Virtual Assistants Can Use

Posted on by August 24, 2012

LinkedIn expert Wayne Breitbarth says there’s a new tool you can use to connect with journalists almost instantly, and email them without spamming. He sent one email to 10 radio talk show hosts and, within 24 hours, got 2 bookings.

He recommends a second new tool to eavesdrop on conversations people are having about you or about problems you can help them solve. You can respond to them instantly with free advice, or an
offer to help. That’s what he did, and it led to a $2,700 sale. A third tool will let you promote your products and services with fanfare only to those people who want to know about them. And a fourth tool will help you get inside companies that had been previously closed to you, even if you don’t know anyone who works there.

I was fascinated when I heard about this, and I wanted to let you know about the webinar that my friend, Joan Stewart, is hosting with Wayne, from 3 to 4:15 p.m. Eastern on Thursday, Aug. 30. It’s on “4 Secret LinkedIn Power Tools to Connect with Journalists and Put Money in Your Pocket.“

Register here.

If the time is inconvenient, register anyway because you’ll get the links for the video replay and all the other bonuses. Joan says sign-ups are brisk and she expects a full house, so claim your seat now before they’re sold out. I’m promoting this webinar, as a compensated affiliate who earns a commission if you use this link, because so few people know how to use the tools Wayne recommends, or they use them incorrectly.

So … where is the money coming from?

Posted on by May 6, 2013

We’re cutting to the chase today. Getting right to the point:

Because this is the biggest obstacle blocking every avenue to building that business success you dream of.

It isn’t video. It isn’t social media. It isn’t even building your list (surprise!). Its money fear. Because you can have all the secrets. All the tricks. But if you are terrified and immobilized because of your fears around money … you’re screwed.

Well, my colleague Suzanne Evans wants to help you put an end to it all. Fast. (Even if you have suffered with suffocating money fears for years! With an amazing new World Premiere Worldwide Video Livestream.

Its powerful. It works. It helped her go from a secretary to 7 figures in three years. And it won’t cost you a dime

Why would you possibly want to be anywhere else?
