Social Media is a Learning Experience
Social media exploded on the scene in 2009 as a NEW marketing approach and for many it is now a big LEARNING experience. We may now be ready and willing to make adjustments to our understanding of the term “social marketing” but in order to produce favorable results, we’ll need to create a plan of action. It costs more in time than it does in money to adopt these new marketing tools and activities, so a well thought out strategy will save time and money.

Coming Attraction: How to Market on Twitter, A View from the Corporate World

How to Market on Twitter, A View from the Corporate World
Twitter is one of the most popular social media of recent times to promote your activities. To successfully engage with existing as well as potential customers on Twitter requires both the right strategy and a series of small best practices.
Undoubtedly, Twitter is an Increasingly Important Part of Social Media Marketing
In a recent article published on Mashable, Twitter Was Declared Most Popular English Word of 2009. Driven by the desire to connect with consumers, many brands are delving into Twitter. While some marketers still view Twitter as a new and intimidating environment, success on Twitter can be achieved by having a clear objective and adhering to some best practices.

Catapult Your Marketing Success Using Joint Ventures
December 12, 2009
There are many ways to make money on the internet. All methods however, come with a price-tag. For starters, you will probably need to purchase basic business software and relevant learning materials. Planning and developing your ideas will definitely require dedication and perseverance all along the way.
One of the best methods for starting or growing your business is to partner with other marketers so that you can reach larger target audiences.
These joint ventures or “JV’s” can take-on many different forms. Some are as simple as promoting each other’s newsletters, while others may be more complex partnerships with cross-promoting of complimentary products. Some JV’s even involve starting entirely new projects from scratch.
Joint Ventures are a powerful tool for expanding business in many areas. So, what is stopping ‘you’ from using this technique to expand your business?
For many new marketers, starting a JV can be a frightening task, especially when it comes to contacting other marketers.
Too often, many marketers appear to be “spamming,” when they are really just seeking other JV partners. Here are some tips that may help you along the way:
1. Get to know your potential JV partners.
If you start emailing everyone on your list of potential partners, chances are you will be considered a common spammer. You won’t get the partners you want, or even worse, may destroy your reputation in the process.
Instead, subscribe to your potential partner’s newsletter and check out their websites and blog. Get to know them a little bit before approaching them with a proposal.
2. Go slowly when approaching potential partners.
Let’s face it, everyone likes a little flattery. When contacting your potential JV partner, treat them like your “first date.” Be courteous and complimentary. Tell them the things you like about their business. Join their newsletter and tell them you think it is awesome, and why. You will be surprised at how much attention you receive by using a little well placed flattery as you proceed to develop your relationships with potential JV partners.
3. Your financial estimates should always be realistic.
Don’t promise what you can’t deliver. Be honest with your potential partners. Explain your proposal and benefits in realistic terms, but don’t hype. Be honest, open and sincere.
Getting a Joint Venture off the ground doesn’t have to be scary if you start by following the three simple steps given above.
Get going and get growing today!
Testosterone-Free Selling: Why Women Make the Best Salesmen!
October 22, 2009
Selling
with Authenticity, Confidence & Style!
They say, “if you build it, they will come.”
Raise your hand if you once thought that opening the doors would bring in the customers. Yeah, we did, too. And then you ran the numbers and reality hit you like a cold shower.
Whether you know it or not, you’re selling something. Fundamentally, you’re selling yourself. By and large, people like people. People want to have a relationship with someone they like, respect and trust. It’s as much about a good laugh as a good deal.
Behind every successful business, project, venture and dream is a dynamic, passionate captain steering the ship. You can assert yourself and your business testosterone-free. Build relationships as you boost your business. Sell yourself, your unique ValYOUTM and soar!
This does not mean every word should be “I” or “me.” You are a piece in the puzzle your customer needs to solve. Cast yourself as the solution to their puzzle.
Women are nurturers and helpers. The key to great and confident selling is helping, sharing and solving. Accentuate your naturally helpful side and create a win-win.
Women can often make referrals and they enjoy sharing their contacts. Establish yourself as a trusted advisor. Become a “doctor of selling.” Diagnose before you prescribe and, if you do not have the prescription and you know someone who could deliver the solution, then act as a referral source. The client is most likely to come back to you every time he or she has a problem and you will get the first right of refusal.
Women understand that negotiation is not a contest or a wrestling match. It is a communication between two parties to bring out a mutually acceptable result.
Women know how to dress the part. When selling, follow the rule of the three Cs: dress for comfort, compatibility and confidence.
Women are most likely to choose a business, product or service that aligns with their personality, lifestyle and values. We seldom do something for the sake of money alone.
We have what it takes simply by virtue of our gender. Our strengths, nurturing style, passion and intuition, once discounted in the business world, have now taken hold. We need to use these very special attributes as a means to ignite our self-confidence and enthusiasm and let it shine through.

TWO EVENTS YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS
September 2, 2009
2 Events You Don’t Want to Miss with Ali Brown and Alex Mandossian (See Details below)
DON’T LET FEAR STOP YOU — LEARN TO RISK
I would like to remind you about a powerful free call about RISK this Thursday with entrepreneur expert Ali Brown.
If you are waiting around and playing it safe too scared to make any bold moves, then you may be watching your best opportunity to thrive as an entrepreneur pass you by.
Instead, join self-made entrepreneurial coach Ali Brown for a complimentary call about RISK-taking: “How to Know When to Take RISKS to Grow Your Business” Thursday, September 3, 2009, at 8pm Eastern.”
Ready to sign up for the call right now? Register here:
http://www.autowebbusiness.com/app/?af=804636
Risk-taking is something that dynamic entrepreneur Ali Brown has mastered, demonstrated by her tremendous growth over the past four years, taking her business from the low six-figures into the multimillions in revenues. (In fact, her company is now recognized by Inc. 500 as being one of the fastest growing companies in the nation! Ranked #263 to be exact.)
Ali’s really struck a nerve this time with her upcoming teleseminar about RISK-taking, a sensitive topic these days. You see, when things start to appear to tighten up or become scarce, our natural self-preservation instincts kick in. We become timid, scared, and leery of making any bold moves, or perhaps any moves at all.
For the general population, this way of being serves them well most of the time, simply helping them survive. But for the entrepreneur, this mode will KILL your business - and your soul. Sure you may survive, but you’ll have to quash your dreams to do it.
Ali encourages people to stop this type of thinking. Instead, rediscover the passion you had… before you felt this way. Get back to that feeling - that wonderful feeling - of having nothing but possibilities in front of you.
Ali’s the one that can help you push past the fear, learn to risk again, and thrive on the way to your dream of taking your business up a big notch.
To attend this free call on Thursday that everyone is talking about, all you have to do is sign up here: http://www.autowebbusiness.com/app/?af=804636
If you are you nervous about taking RISKS right now, this is the perfect call for you — and believe me, you’re not alone.
For the first time ever, Ali is ready to publicly share her strategies for making smart decisions about risk-taking including her personal 5-point checklist. She’ll be joined by other entrepreneurs who were just like you.
Again, you can get all the details and register here:

I’ll be there — see you on the call!
