Get More Business Podcast - Nancy Marmelejo - Viva Visability

What do you Squidoo?
March 8, 2008
Squidoo is the world’s most popular site for building free, single pages about your passions.
Highlight books, blogs, vids, online shops, or just spread the word about stuff you love. Bonus: you raise money (for you or charity) at the same time. It’s fast, free, and supereasy.
Squidoo is a network of user created lenses or single pages that highlight one person’s point of view, recommendations, or expertise. Lenses can be about anything, such as ideas, people or places, hobbies and sports, pets or products, philosophy, and politics. Lenses aren’t created to hold content, but rather they are created to recommend and point to content elsewhere on the web.
So, maybe by now you’ve heard of Squidoo and maybe you even have a lens or two. Today I interviewed a man that has over 300 lenses and expects to be earning about $2000 per month in passive revenue by year end.
Joe Dillon, also known as, “Captain Squid” is a Giant Squid on Squidoo. This means he is recognized as one of the best lensmasters around. Joe was on “The Small Business Guru & Gadget Guy” Podcast today, as our guest and expert on Squidoo.
<side note>A Giant Squid, by the way, as the story goes is a lensmaster that has published 100 quality lenses. Geez, these guys must have a lot of time on their hands or there must be a financial strategy to all this lens making.
Today Captain Squid - uh, Joe, gave us the basics on Squidoo. You can download the show here. We had a couple of short conversations prior to the show and let me tell you there is some serious strategy behind every lens this guy builds.
Over at the Captain Squid website there’s a gold mind of information. The basics are free. You can find video tutuorials in the Captain’s Training section.
It’s a facinatingly interactive alternative to Article Marketing - well maybe not an alternative because as Joe pointed out on the call it’s actually works the same as article marketing in creating a viral spread of your links but it’s more because it’s so interactive.
Oh, and there are angel Squids that give blessings - blessings boost lens ranking. Why is that important? The more popular the ranking the better the payout is from the revenue share. Oh, didn’t I tell you? Not only is it free to create a lens, and create as many as your heart desires, but Squid Inc shares the revenue from Google Adsense, Amazon, Ebay and the like.
I must confess, I too have become addicted to Squidoo. I’ve just begun, with 6 lenses now published and two more as WIP (works in progress). I’ve been reading the Captain’s “Lens Publishing Checklist” (you’ll have to subscribe to get your own copy). I’ve got much to learn but you can be sure I’ll be posting again on Squidoo.
Come take a look at my lenses and join as a favorite so you can see what I am up to on Squidoo.
First is my Lens for The Small Business Guru, and then…
- Press Releases on the Internet - about how the Internet has changed Press Release submission; along with how and where to submit.
- (of course) Get More Business Podcast - contains all my show listings
- Referral Marketing Best Practices - many resources on how to build a business by referral
- SmBizGuru Favorite Lenses - I had to have a lens where I saved and shared my favorite lenses that I really liked.
- and just for fun I created a “SquidWho” page for Beth Moore - one of my favorite people. I have YouTube Video’s up on the lens for Beth.
- Next I’ll begin creating a lens for each of my guests that I’ve had or will have on my Get More Business Podcast. This is going to be fun!
I’ve got more ideas than I can type fast enough! Gee I wonder if Squid Inc is still awarding Giant Squid Status?
Many lensmasters use their lenses as a tool for affiliate marketing. Not a bad idea!
Tune in to our next show - date, time and guest will be posted at the TalkShoe page soon. Check it out here.
The Ultimate Referral System Webinar
January 29, 2008
“If You Only Had $500 In Your Budget and You Needed To Double Your Customers, What Would You Spend It On?”
I’ve been asked that exact same question hundreds of times from business owners who are frustrated with their marketing results.
My simple answer is, “Referral Marketing!”
In a study done by our company with 2,134 small business owners, we found that over 55% said that they received the highest return on their investment from referral marketing. Referrals are the lifeblood of your small business. You know it and I know it. Without referrals, our businesses would dry up and blow away.
That’s why I’ve developed the “Referral Marketing Best Practices Webinar.” This is a one hour webinar in which I share with you what the best referral marketers are doing to generate more referrals. I want to invite YOU to attend one of my webinars.
If you’ve been frustrated with your ability to get more referrals or to motivate your clients and customers to talk about you, then you must attend this webinar.
It’s not too late to register for tomorrow’s event - Wednesday January 30, 2008 at 1 pm Pacific (3 pm Central, 4 pm Eastern)
We will be using GoToMeeting for the Webinar. Go here to register for this fr.ee event: https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/893400884

How to Choose a Profitable Niche Market
January 3, 2008
Does it always seem like others find all the profitable markets…while you’re stuck slaving away looking for a good opportunity? On January 4th, 2008, Terry Dean, Author & Marketing Coach will join me on Get More Business Podcast to discuss what he’s called a “virtually fool-proof method of chooosing slam dunk markets.”
Terry Dean is an Internet Business Coach Focused on Helping Small Business Owners Use the Internet to Earn More, Work Less, and Enjoy Life. He started his first online business way back in 1996…an eternity in Internet time.
Before he started online, he was delivering pizzas for a living at LIttle Caesar’s for $8 an hour. Using the power of the Internet, he was full-time in business online in less than 6 months. Two years later he started teaching others on how they too could use the Internet to grow an online business…whether they work from home or run a local business marketing to a local audience.
One of his most memorable moments was sharing how to profit online in front of live audiences…producing as much as $96,250 in sales from a single email to his list during a weekend conference.
His Netbreakthroughs membership site was a Whos-Who on Internet Marketing Experts and Gurus. He sold this consulting business in 2004 to take time off and now concentrates more on using his knowledge and background to coach others to success online.
Download Terry Dean’s special report for Virtually Foolproof Method of Choose Slam Dunk Markets. Here’s what you will learn in this special report:
- How to Come Up With Ideas for Markets
- Come Up With Ideas Off the Internet
- Affinity Markets or Objective Markets
- Is It Cost Effective to Reach the Target Market
- Some Markets Are Not Reachable Online
- Is There Enough Money In The Market
- What About the Competition
- Survey Your Market to Know Them
- How to Estimate Your Future Cost Per Sale With Surveys

I was stunned when I saw how easy it is to use tools on the internet to discover where the money is flowing - who’s buying what and where.

The BUZZ is happenin’ on Get More Business Podcast!
December 10, 2007
Ron Mc Daniel will be my guest on this Friday’s podcast at 9 am. I will interview him about his book Buzzoodle. I am so excited about this topic. “Buzz” is intentional, planned word of mouth marketing for your business. It’s you and your employees becoming “evangelists” for your company - even better your customers and clients become evangelists for you and your company.
Do you ever go a day without recommending a restaurant or an automotive repair shop, or even where to purchase gas for your vehicle? Unless you live in a cave you’ve probably connected withsome one and recommended some brand or some business that has taken good care of you. And you spread the word without any benefit to yourself other than feeling like you’ve just done a good deed for the day.
I’ll be reviewing Buzzoodle, Ron’s book on this blog in the next day or two. I’ve been reading it; and guess what? it’s really a simple concept. The ideas are Golden Rule, Pay it Forward kind of advice. Ideas that build a culture that keeps employees and attracts the best customers.
Watch for the post of more about the book and join me live on Friday at 9 am Pacific - Listen on your computer at work if you have to - it’s easy listening to “seeds of great ideas” that will grow your business!
