How to Write more Articles in Less Time, Get Your Information in Front of More Eyes

Today on the Get More Business Show.

Jeff Herring is a recovering marriage and family therapist, having spent 21 years building a thriving practice in Florida. He has written a weekly nationally syndicated relationship column since 1994 that reaches over 20 million readers a week.

When Jeff turned his article marketing expertise on the internet, he created a flood of traffic to his web sites that he could not stop if he wanted to. 

Jeff has broken article writing down to what he calls The Four Pillars:

• Article Writing
• Article Submission
• Article Marketing
• Article Income & Product Creation 

He tells me that he has first hand experience that proves that the more articles your write and publish, the more all your other numbers will be.

• More Prospects
• More Web Trafic
• More Product
• More Profitability

Since Jeff has been writing at least weekly (and more since he also does article writing for other Internet Marketers) since 1994, he has developed quite a strategic approach to business building with article marketing.

My goal will be to get Jeff to talk more about the marketing that happens once the articles are written and how articles are developed into full blown products. Jeff assures me that article writing will get anyone that can write a seven item grocery list can write articles as a business development tool.

Get More Business Show: Join the Local / Social Network Scene

Internet Marketing is not just for national companies. Social media is for the dry cleaner to the auto mechanic. Today, looking up a telephone number or address of a local business in the yellow pages is nearly obsolete. Marketing done based on brand image alone is being outpaced by marketing done with a brand associated with a company personality. No, I’m not talking celebrity, I’m talking about the heart and soul of a business that comes from people making connection with people. (Stream live or listen archived Get More Business Show)

If you are a small business owner and you don’t understand Internet Marketing or social media, today’s show would be a great place to start your journey. Or, maybe you’ve being using tools like Facebook, LinkedIn, or MySpace - now it’s time to step into engaging the social network of your local community with the technology & tools of Internet marketing. The possibilities of viral marketing, or word of mouth marketing are exponentially more effective when connections are made with the speed that’s only achieveable on the Internet.

If you know someone who owns a local brick and mortar business, call them and have them tune into the Get More Business Show.

From Coast to Coast, lean back in your chair and listen. The social media movement is a powerful force in this country. I’m sending a special shout out to my East Coach friends of Get More Business Show to drop in and listen. C’mon sit down, have some lunch (it’s on at noon eastern) and listen as Michael Librizi from Long Island and the NYC area joins me on the Get More Business Show.

Librizzi founded and launched Briz.com in March of 2008. Passionate about small business, entrepreneurship, and emerging technologies. Formally worked at Morgan Stanley in the foreign exchange markets. BS in Finance, Entrepreneurship, and IT from Syracuse University.

Mike Liprizzi’s mission is to give small business owners the best community to create opportunity. I am impressed by the passion that comes through on his company about page. I can’t wait to have him on my show to hear his vision for how Briz fits the bill for social media and networking for local business.

Briz.com was founded on the principle of empowerment for small business. It’s about our home towns, our neighbors, and our favorite businesses that can succeed when technology is focused solely on their needs.

The mission at Briz.com, above all, is to give small business owners the best community to create opportunity. By leveraging each other’s specialties and knowledge, over a platform that supports communication and deal making, small business owners have the potential to create powerful community relationships and economic impacts that can better our society.

When small businesses join together they can achieve great things. Collectively, small business makes up more than 50% of the private, nonfarm United States Gross Domestic Product and more than 99% of all of the United States employers, a powerful force. This is the vision of Briz.com, to give local small businesses the platform to propel them into the next century by allowing them to ban together and become collectively powerful.

Briz.com was officially founded during September of 2007. Though almost a year in planning till it’s founding, the mission has never changed and it’s innovation and development continue to grow. It’s the spirit of small business entrepreneurs that have shaped and defined culture of America.
This is for them.

Briz.com is the community and platform for business.

Get More Business Show - Cold Calling for More Business

Today I inteview “royalty”. That’s right, today’s guest is “The Queen of Cold Calling”.

Wendy Weiss, The Queen of Cold Calling™, is an author, speaker, sales trainer, and sales coach. She is recognized as one of the leading authorities on lead generation, cold calling and new business development and she helps clients speed up their sales cycle, reach more prospects directly and generate more sales revenue. Her clients include Avon Products, ADP, Sprint and thousands of entrepreneurs throughout the country.

Wendy has been featured in the New York Times, BusinessWeek, Entrepreneur Magazine, Selling Power, Sales & Marketing Management and various other business and sales publications. She is also a featured author in two recently released books, Masters of Sales and Top Dog Sales Secrets.

Wendy is the author of the book, Cold Calling for Women. She has also created numerous self-study programs including Cold Calling College, The Miracle Appointment-Setting Script and Getting Past the Palace Guard.

Wendy believes that everything that she knows in life, she learned in ballet class.

An Alternate Identity

After losing many friends to AIDS, and then also recognizing the need for AIDS education targeted to youth, in 1991, Wendy founded Illusion Productions, a dance company of young people teaching young people about AIDS. From 1991 to 1997, this unique program, designed to reach at-risk youth, performed throughout New York City at high schools, community centers and after-school programs. To our knowledge, it was the only Dance Company in the world that provided peer-to-peer AIDS education.

Wendy is a former ballet dancer who performed with Pittsburgh Ballet Theater. (She was also “Mopsy” in the Kennedy Center’s Imagination Celebration production of The Tale of Peter Rabbit!) Wendy believes that everything that she knows in life, she learned in ballet class. She got into her current field, sales training, by accident—she needed a “day job.” But the results have been happy, and she has no regrets. Wendy had stopped dancing for many years because of osteoarthritis, (a common complaint for ballet dancers) but after two total hip replacements, she is once again taking dance class. (Wendy is nothing, if not determined.)

Rick Butts - The “Brad Pitt” of Internet Marketing?

Friday Night I watched Rick Butts’ Internet Marketing After Party. I laughed so hard! My daughter walked into my office and saw me cracking up hysterically, and had no idea what I was laughing at because I was listening with my earphones on. She looked at me as if I had lost my mind.

He was so funny that I listened to the whole show. Not only did I learn several things, but the “one man show” was very engaging. His funny man style sets him apart and disarms his audience by his humor and authenticity. Giving proof that among all the Internet Marketers out there he does a good job of differentiating himself especially with his delivery. There is truly only one Rick Butts.

Today I still chuckled to myself as a thought of his ustream show crossed my mind. Then it hit me. Rick Butts bears an uncanny resemblance to a celebrity. Yeah, and I did some research and found a couple of pictures. You tell me if you don’t think Rick Butts is the “Brad Pitt” of Internet Marketing!
 

Both of these pictures are of Brad and Rick in their early twenties. Can you see the resemblance?

How To Get Out Of Your T-Mobile Contract …. Now & For Free

Michael Lemm of Broadband Nation writes in his blog, “T-Mobile recently changed their contract by raising the cost of texting / messaging from 15 to 20 cents beginning in August 2008.”

What!? That’s ridiculous. How does T-Mobile even charge for txt messaging at all? “Texting” is as common as Twittering (or emailing). I think the fact that T-Mobile is charging at all is robbery. It’s enough that their contracts are long and a huge monthly fee if you want decent amount of minutes - and you have to pay to stop being their customer. Isn’t that absurd?

Could you imagine your hair dresser charging you an early termination fee if you decided to go to another hair dresser? Or what about your grocer?

I know, I know you get a free phone every year if you sign a two year contract. What a sweet deal…for them: guaranteed customer for two years and they they raise your price. Hmm, what’s wrong with this picture?

As Alex Mandossian says, “Your current loyal customers deserve the favored treatment for their loyalty.” (sorry my paraphrase of his words on a recent teleseminar.) To illustrate this point, Alex told a story about his mom, she used her best dishes everyday for her family instead of saving her fine china for guests, because she said her family deserved fine china dining every day and not just when company came. Same thing with your customers. Give your best incentive and rewards to loyal customers rather than using your best offer to “flirt” with prospects who haven’t paid you the compliment of their business.

Bye, Bye T-Mobile. After many years of being your customer; it’s time for this girl to be moving on to someone who will treat her right.

If you don’t want to pay the cost increase for texting/messaging coming in August … Read Michael Lemm’s blog Broadband Nation for some tips on how to get out of it all. With no early termination fee.

Affiliate Marketing: Create Multiple Streams of Income

Free Magazine Subscriptons?

I’ve discovered a company that has been offering free business magazine subscriptions available on branded websites of its affiliates. If you subscribe to a business or industry specific magazine you may be able to subscribe for free. I invite you to check out the many industries represented - Small Business and Sales & Marketing are among the industries represented with both magazines and white papers. Please click here to check out the titles available for free download.

RevResponse. RevResponse helps you present FREE content that’s of genuine value to your site visitors… and then we pay you when they take advantage of it. How hard can it be to give something away for free – especially if your readers or visitors want the information?

Guaranteed Minimum

How much can you make giving away free subscriptions to qualified professionals you ask? RevResponse guarantees a minimum of $1.50 for every qualified subscriber.

Okay, so there’s the catch…the subscribers have to be qualified. Well okay, you brought up a great point, yes; the subscribers do have to be qualified.

Qualifications?

Here, let me give you an example of the qualification required on one of the magazines:

Website Magazine whose mission is to reach the largest audience of website professionals with expert information that’s immediately useful for their success on the Internet. Do you think it a fair qualification to require that the subscriber actually have a website? Okay well if they want to pay for the subscription then they shouldn’t have to have a website, right?

I have a website and a blog – how do I give away free subscriptions and get paid to do it?!

Okay, Okay, I’m getting to that. First all you need to do is go to the RevResponse Website and sign up. You will be assigned an account representative that will answer any questions that you might have about getting started.

And I’d really like to help you get off to a great start so you can begin to earn subscription commissions your very first day. Twitter me @smbizguru if you want me to contact you and give you some ideas for what you could do to promote within your market.

Think Right Now! Accelerated Thought & Behavior Modification Programs

My coaching clients always ask me, “What could I be listening to reprogram my mind for a different outcome?” Or “What kinds of affirmations should I be saying?”

For several years now I’ve been using Think Right Now! Accelerated Thought & Behavior Modification Programs. Mike Brescia, the creator of these amazing audio programs uses Dr. Georgi Lozano’s Information Delivery Technology formula:

• Triple repetition of the material being learned
• 8 second spacing between the start of each statement
• 60 beat-per-minute music playing in the background (to induce and maintain relaxation in the
  alpha brainwave state of mind, which is associated with higher learning and better retention)

The statements used on each of these powerful Think Right Now audio recordings use a two-pronged approach to re-patterning thoughts and beliefs, both equally important and are targeted at the 22 core belief and attitude patterns.

1. “Clearing” affirmations are developed that help the listener to let go of the undesirable thought patterns and anything that could cause them.
2. “Installing” statements are created that embody the empowering thought patterns found in people considered “the best of the best” (related to each program’s subject). One after another, your mind becomes drenched with the most empowering, positive statements designed to permanently change how you think, how you feel, and as a result, how you act.

Mike covers all of this in the Think Right Now Owners Manual that can be downloaded  along with his entire Life Tranformation Kit, at no charge at the Think Right Now Website, which, by the way also includes:

• ‘How to Absolutely Positively Guarantee Success In Everything You Do’
• How to Feel Powerful Instantly
• ‘How to Instantly Gain Momentum… and Keep It’
• ‘The 11 Mental Patterns That Naturally Attract The Life You Desire’
• ‘Exposed: The Unedited Conversations In People’s Minds’
• Over 500 Think Right Now case studies in the words of our clients

Following is a short list of the topics that are available on Mike Brescia’s Website:

• Accelerated Sales Success Now
• I am Organized Now
• Setting and Achieving Goals

I really love the ones that I listen to and I am very intrigued by the method that Mike uses to deliver the information to my subconscious with the repetition and music. If any of you have his programs I’d be eager to have you share your comments on how they have worked for you.
