Social Media Marketing Movies

Social media marketing is a very powerful way of becoming an obvious expert in your niche. What is even more exciting it is now possible for anyone to be recognised and considered an 'obvious expert' in their niche. It is all about using the social mediums to get exposure, share your knowledge, create a buzz where your target market is hanging out and getting maximum exposure.

There is some great tips included in this marketing movie (by the way this is just one of the strategies I am using to become an 'obvious expert' very, very quickly in my own niche). If you want to learn more about creating marketing movies for your own business then you can check out my marketing movie pack.

Let me know your thoughts on how you are using marketing movies and social media in your business to become the 'obvious expert' in your niche by leaving a comment below.

I also highly recommend you start following these 'obvious experts' on facebook and twitter
Mari Smtih, Carrie Wilkerson (Barefoot Executive) Mashable and Ali Brown. They are just a few obvious experts I am learning from and highly recommend.

Steve and I have already booked our seats to this amazing event. This blog post is about taking action. When Frank Kern emailed me telling me about this event, I walked straight out to my husband Steve Brossman in the lounge room and said we are going to Canada in 4 weeks. He said "I beg your pardon"? I said "Go and look at the email on my computer and then book the flights"? So he did and he said "You are right we are going to Canada"!

EngageToday2009

That is the difference between people who take action and those who find reasons not to take action. Can we afford to go? Well we just forked out $12,000 to go on a speaker cruise in November so probably not, but are we going anyway....YEP!

Because these opportunities come around once in a lifetime and after watching Tony Robbins and John Reese talk about 'momentum' Steve and I knew that this was our time to rock and roll. So we did not hesitate.

So hopefully you are in the right time and place to get your momentum going and take action and get yourself to this event. I am so excited to be networking amongst world leaders at such a powerfully inspirational and lifechanging event. I hope to see you there.

EngageToday2009

PS. I was so inspired by this event I spent my whole Sunday creating a marketing movie for FREE to help promote and get as many people as I can to this event. That is how much I believe in it.

Social marketing and social media is here to stay and many entrepreneurs and small business owners have the misconception that it is just a place where bored people hang out to chat. Trust me it could not be further from the truth. What I have achieved for my business...my bottom line and my brand in 3 months using social media and social marketing strategies I have not been able to achieve in 3 years. If you are not including social media as part of your marketing mix you WILL get left behind by your competitors who are smart enough to see the true viral marketing opportunities taking the world by storm.

• set up your social networks
• start building a following
• connecting with people in your niche
• building your brand and celebrity/leader status in your niche
• and maximising your online exposure for your business

This will be one of the most cost effective and fun ways to learn social media for your business. whether you are an

• entrepreneur
• solopreneur
• small business
• advertising agency; or
  
• Corporate
  

we will be able to help you get started sooner rather than later.

There is an early bird special '2-for-1 as part of our launch because we want you to be able to start implementing quickly.

Those who are smart have already started....social marketing is here to stay and if you do not have it as part of your marketing mix...you WILL get left behind, but even worse overtaken by your competitors!

How Mass Control 2.0 Can Change Your Life Like it Has Mine

WOW What A Week!

And it is just about to get better for YOU...

I sent Frank Kern...yes the REAL Frank Kern an email this week asking him a HUUUUGE favour. See I got to meet him a couple of months ago.... and this guy is one Great Big Softy! I loved him...bit rough around the edges but very, very funny man.

Click to watch his video now

When I found out this week that he was relaunching Mass Control 2...and that there were only 800 available for sale, I had to send him an email.

Why?

Because I new that a lot of people were going to miss out, because his Mass Control always sells out within an hour and the people who really needed it, and could benefit from it like I have, always missed out.

So I asked him a HUUUUGE favour. I asked him if he would let me mail out my friends with the early bird link so they at least had a slight chance of getting one of the 800 copies that were left. And you know what the big Surfer Dude Softy said " he said sure Pam, why not".

So if you want the opportunity of a lifetime...I am not sure if he is going to relaunch again this year... please take this enormous opportunity to get Mass Control 2.

I bought it back in February and trust me the exchange rate was really bad....but it was the best money I ever spent. My business is going gang busters since implementing only a couple of Frank's strategies.

Check out my video if you want to know what you get when you purchase Mass Control 2



And guess what... he is telling you how to build your list as well! We did not get that with ours so it is even better than the February version.

And because Frank was so nice I thought I would spread some more suprises!

**********************************************************************************

Anyone who purchases Frank's Mass Control using my link below (or any on this page) will get a FREE marketing movie or motivational movie created for them to use in their business valued at over $500.00.

Pam's Mass Control Link

**********************************************************************************

The marketing movie I made for my client using Frank Kern's 4 day cash machine got a 100% open rate and 15% conversion. These marketing movies are a great way to convert lookers into buyers. And I will make one specific to your offer for FREE!

"Conditions" You must purchase with my link...and you cannot collect your FREE gift untill the 'money back guarantee' for Mass Control 2 has passed. Too easy! All you need to do is after you purchase with my link...send me an email with your confirmation payment, once the guarantee period has passed, send me an email and we can organise your movie to be made!

I Can Teach You How To Market Using Powerpoint

Wow, am I excited. I am in prelaunch phase of my new business called
Powerpoint Marketing Queen

Where I am going to be teaching entrepreneurs, small business owners and anyone who wants to learn how to market themselves easily and inexpensively using Powerpoint.

Below is a sample of some Twitter backgrounds that I made in Powerpoint. I have been creating powerpoint for some of the top 100 Corporations in Australia for the last 25 years.

Click on the middle of image to see it big screen - so cool I havn't even begun to play with this cool tool. The opportunities for marketing yourself with this tool alone that I only found today is endless!!!



Recently my clients started asking me to teach others to do what I do. They call me the Powerpoint Wizz because I can do amazing things with this fantastic tool. Especially Powerpoint 2007.

So I am now combining my internet marketing skills and my powerpoint passion to teach others how to market themselves and be able to stand out in the crowd.

In this current economic climate you really need to stand out to be able to

• keep your clients
• bring in more clients
• hold onto your current position
• stand out in a crowd
• and stay one step ahead of your competition

Marketing and positioning yourself as the expert is the only way to do this and I am going to teach you the 'WOW' factor that will have your competitors becoming really nervous at your success.

Have a great day. Back to work.

PS. If you are not already on twitter then sign up today because it is a must for your marketing strategies if you want to stay ahead of your competition. One of the first things I will teach you is how to create your own professionally branded twitter background in powerpoint. It is so easy and fun to do.

And if you are one of those people who say 'I'm not creative'. No problem I am going to be providing templates where you just upload your logo, a photograph and change the colours. Too easy.

Check out this new tool I found this morning how cool is that. Imagine promoting your stuff like this on your website 'free'. Too cool!

Don't forget to sign-up on my home page.

Got to get my launch happening. Off to the States next Thursday to learn from my mentor Frank Kern one of the top marketers online. So excited.

What Live Event Are You Going To This Year?

Firstly a HUUUUGE thank you to everyone who supported me in the Maria Andros competition.

Unfortunately I was pipped at the post by two very deserving competitors and did not win but that is okay. I learnt so much about using social marketing to grow my business that I have lots of information to share with you in future articles.

Today I want to share a great article that I received in my inbox today from Ali Brown, one of my mentors.

The reason I wanted to share this with you is because I am doing exactly what she is talking about in 2 weeks time. I am investing in myself and my business by going to Frank Kern's Mass Control event in San Deigo.

And yes it did set me back a pretty penny to buy the course and then fly over for 4 days to the event but I had no hesitation for the exact reasons that Ali explains below.

If you are not willing to spend money on yourself to provide your customers or clients with the best and most uptodate information...then why should they spend their hard earned money with you.

Find out why Ali Brown spends up to $30,000 on her personal education every year and how that has helped her to charge up to $1m per year/per person for some of her highend clients.

What are you going to invest in yourself this year?

5 Reasons to Learn via Live Events"by Ali Brown

I remember six years ago making a decision that would change my life and business forever. I decided to travel across the country to attend a marketing seminar. A few things about this were completely new to me.

1) The fact that I was going to spend over a thousand dollars of my own money to invest in myself. (And also maxing out one of my credit cards to do so - yes, things were pretty tight back then!)

2) Traveling across the country alone and paying for my own flight, hotel, ground transport, meals, etc.

3) Throwing myself into a new environment where I didn't know anyone else.I'm so glad I made that decision. Not only did I learn amazing information to help my online business (which was brand new at the time), but I met some folks who remain my friends to this day. And my investing in myself in that manner also sent a message to the universe that I was stepping up and "ready to play big."

Today, I spend a tens of thousands of dollars each year on continuing education, including attending live seminars and workshops. And it pays off TENFOLD!

Here are 5 reasons attending live events is one of the BEST ways to leapfrog your business forward:

1) Complete Immersion in Your Subject.

When my friend Jen was in college, she wanted to learn French, so she took the opportunity to spend a semester in France. She shared with me that by doing that she made progress faster than she'd ever thought possible. They call that learning by immersion, and it's proven to be one of the BEST ways to learn fast.Hey, I'm a big fan of home study - books, CDs, and courses - and learning in "bits". But NOTHING compares to getting away from your office or home, spending a few days with teachers and other "students", and completely focusing on learning new strategies to improve your business.

2) People Who "Get" What You Do.When I first started my online business,

I really didn't have anyone else to talk with about it. My friends, while supportive and sweet, didn't "get" what I was trying to do and of course couldn't offer advice.I remember walking into that first seminar and within five minutes realized I had hundreds of people to talk with who "GOT" what I was doing! We could exchange ideas, share resources, coach each other, and even cross promote. It was a whole new world and I could never go back.

3) More Business, More Leads, and more High-Level Opportunities.

It wasn't unusual -- even in the beginning of my attending live events -- to come home with on-the-spot sales, more subscribers to my ezine, a few joint venture partners, and speaking invitations.Another tip I'll give you: The quality of the people at an event often correlates with the price tag of the event. I've found I generally meet more successful people at the events that cost more.Case in point: In 2003 I attended a very expensive training (the deposit alone was $5,000.00) and for the four days there I sat next to a very successful marketer from Australia whom I got to know well during that time. Well, a few weeks later, he invited me to come speak overseas in Australia, all expenses paid and including a business-class flight! (I doubt that opportunity would have manifested so soon, had it not been for my being there live.)

4) Deals on Continuing Education and Coaching.

Many of the speakers at these events also offer home study courses or some type of continuing education. So it's a great place to check everyone out and decide whose stuff you want to get and who you want to continue learning from. Plus there are usually special offers given there to encourage buying on the spot.This is a smart move, and you should plan to invest in at least one speaker's package while you're there. I recently attended a seminar in Dallas where I happily dropped $10,000.00 on three different programs while I was there, because their content had just what I was looking for to help skyrocket my sales for the coming year.

5) Visit New Places and Have FUN - in a Tax Deductible Way!

Talk with your accountant about this one, but in most cases these events and trips are completely tax deductible. After all, you're traveling there to learn, network, and increase your business.And for many of us who work alone a lot, these trips are a great way to let off some steam and enjoy the company of others who are in the same types of businesses we are! Tip: Even if you don't imbibe, hang around the hotel bar. You'll find that's where everyone congregates and deals happen.

But be sure to get OUT of the hotel at least one night to enjoy the city you're visiting!

BONUS: Access to the "Gurus" - in Person.One more thing I forgot to add is that the speakers at these events are usually very accessible. You'll find them hanging out in the hallways, in the lobby, and in the bar. You can catch a few minutes of their time to ask them a quick question or discuss a point they made in their presentation.

This is an extremely rare opportunity - you can't just call these guys and gals up and get them on the phone! This type of access is priceless and will also get you more exposure and credibility.And When All Is Said and Done...And when it's all over, you'll be dead tired, but you'll have more energy and enthusiasm toward your business than ever before. Plus you'll have new, powerful connections with people and proven strategies ready to implement!

Justin Brooke - Hits The Nail OnTthe Head Re: Building Quality Lists

Justin Brooke's Great Email Marketing Recipe - Why Not Try It!

Justin Brooke is a really funny guy who has a great business with his wife Chaunna called Site Fling (www.sitefling.com).

I have been following Justin for a little while now and I have learnt a lot from his 'tell it like it REALLY is' blog posts and emails. He is very much like Frank Kern who is one of my favourite mentors. These guys make learning internet marketing lots of fun. (You need fun in any industry otherwise it is just a job,which becomes a chore, which stops making money!).

Anyway, he has some really great advice on email marketing which I wanted to share with you this week. I highly recommend you copying and printing off this recipe and trying to implement them in your own email strategies. Justin has proved many times that it works, most recently in an affiliate competition where he came 5th with a list of only 7,500 people over other Guru's who had lists in the 100,000 or more.

Having a strong trusting relationship with your customers will outdo 'mass customer lists' every time.

Personalisation is the key. Make everyone who has any form of contact with you and your business feel like a long lost friend and you will reap the rewards for many years to come.

The sad thing in this industry is that too many of the Guru's have become so far removed from their business and their customers that their level of service has become very substandard. Trust me I have had some really bad experiences with some really top Guru's support staff, that I have left them to follow those who take the time to get to know me and what I need.

I hope you get as much out of this post from Justin as I did.

Enjoy

My Email Marketing Recipe

First and foremost my biggest belief is that whatever lure you used to get your subscribers with is the lure that’s going to work the best in the future to get them to respond again.
For example if all you did was offer them a freebie, then that’s really all they’ll want in the future. Sure, you’ll catch a few buyers in the midst but the majority will just be freebie seekers forever.

Now if you made them buy something to get on your list then you’ll be able to get many more of them to buy something again.

When I tell my coaching clients to stop letting people onto their list for free and instead make them buy something. The first thing they say is but then it’ll take me forever to build a big list.
IT’S NOT ABOUT A BIG LIST!! (forgive my outbursts please this topic raises my blood pressure!)

Plus, it’s entirely possible to have the same high conversions you can get with a freebie as it is with something that the browser has to buy. You just have to make sure the value of your offer is much higher then the price you are charging.

Ingredient #1 is stop letting people subscribe for free.

Out of my 7,800+ subscribers over 4,500 of them are their because they bought something from me. Which actually leads me into the next ingredient.
Just because someone has bought your products doesn’t mean that’s how the relationship should stay. There are hundreds of other marketers out there doing EVERYTHING they can think of to take your subscribers away. It’s my belief that you need to reward them well to encourage loyalty.

When someone buys from me and becomes a subscriber to my list there are 3-4 unadvertised bonuses given out immediately. I get testimonials all the time about how people are blown away at how much I give them right upfront. This helps me get them to fall in love with me and my emails.

Ingredient #2 reward your subscribers well

The last thing you want is someone scared to open one of your emails because they’re afraid you’ll talk them into buying something. What you want to create is an environment where your subscribers see one of your emails pop into their box and they open it before any of their friends emails, knowing that it’s probably something really cool you are sending them.

Which brings me to ingredient #3…

Ingredient #3 is to deliver consistent content

The majority of my subscribers know and anticipate my emails on Tuesdays and Sundays. That’s because they know that unless something’s happened to me they are getting something valuable on those days.

Every Tuesday morning we do a twenty minute long live show called “The Twenty Minute Tackle” using Ustream.tv and every Sunday night we do a blog post like the one you are reading. My open rates and click through rates on those days are through the roof.

We’ve even seen 90% click through rates, multiple times, when we hit the right topic. That’s because doing the consistent content thing does a number of things to your subscribers…

• Get’s them anticipating and expecting your email
• Gives them valuable content that they enjoy
• They respect that you’re not just another salesman
• Get’s them used to receiving your emails and clicking your links
  

It also lets us interact and turns our emails into a 2 way communication
Having that 2 way communication with your subscribers is super important, but I see so many marketers doing everything they can to turn it off. They use

• noreply email addresses
• force you to use help desk software to communicate with them
• and even if you get their personal email address it has one of those autoresponders that tell you they aren’t checking their emails anymore.
  

I’m not knocking those strategies, they can be very effective in automating your business and I’ve even tried some of them. What I’m saying is I’ve seen tremendous benefits from turning those things off. I tested it and I make more money without them.

By having that 2 way communication with my subscribers they trust me more and I know more of what they want. I even answer my phone, which to some marketers is gonzo nuts. However, there is no other marketing tool I own that gives me more insight into who my market is and what they want.

Ingredient #4 is know what your subscribers want

The profitability of my email list skyrockets for the 2 weeks after I survey them to see what they want. Through my

• Blog posts
• Live Internet shows
• And, picking up my phone I start to get a sense of their main interests starting to change
• Then I send them a survey to confirm and see what it is they want about that topic.
• Finally, I follow up with a campaign that delivers exactly what they’ve told me they want.

It’s so simple but sooo many marketers aren’t doing it or not doing it enough.
I hear business owners telling me they don’t like to sell, but if they just knew what their customers want they’d never have to sell to them. If you know everyone in your local mall is craving white chocolate macadamia nut cookies, then all you have to do is tell people where to get them and they’ll go buy them.

If you showed up with cranberry oatmeal cookies instead, then you’re probably going to have to pull out every sales trick in the book to get them over too you instead. I don’t know about you but I sure don’t like hanging out with someone who’s always trying out a new sales trick on me.
I do like hanging out with my friends and sharing secrets though.

Ingredient #5 is to be friendly and transparent with your subscribers

I’m not the picturesque businessman. I’ve got a bald head, a beard, a little overweight, tattoo’s, I speak my mind, and I use foul language to emphasive my emotions. When I first started out online I did everything I could to hide those things.

As I slowly started letting those things out, scared that it would hurt my reputation, more of my subscribers started to fall in love with me. They didn’t look at me like I was less then perfect. Instead they responded with “hey I’m the same way.”

Sure some people don’t like it, some people are just totally opposite of me and we don’t clique. So they go find someone else that they do clique with and the others bond too me closer then ever before. No matter what you can’t please everyone. If you try to be clean and perfect like Eben Pagan you loose the people that like the Frank Kern style.

If you are like Frank Kern you loose the type of people that love Eben Pagan. It’s easiest to just be yourself and let it all just flow out. The bond you create with your subscribers when you show them who you really are is incredible and they’ll buy more from you. Because now they’re thinking, “wow he/she’s just like me and if they can do it then so can I.”

Wrapping Up

If you’ll implement those 5 ingredients into your email marketing I guarantee you’ll see amazing results.

With those 5 ingredients you can have a small subscriber base and get the same results of guys with 50x more subscribers then you.
In fact when I launched my SEO Lies ebook in Novemeber, my #1 affiliate had 18,000 subscribers and my #2 affiliate lost by only 1 sale while only having 880 subscribers! Both got nearly the same result but one focuses more on size and the other more on quality.

Imagine what happens when you mix size with quality!

Building Your List Tips From Ali Brown

Hi and welcome to Friday's blog. It is just about time for me to go and pick up my son from school and go for my compulsory glass or two of wine down at the beach with my friend Meredith. But before I go I wanted to share these tips that I got from Ali Brown today.

"How to Reach Thousands of Your Ideal Clients and Customers and Skyrocket Your E-mail List"
by Ali Brown

One of the questions I'm asked the most by my clients is:

"How can I most quickly build my e-mail list?"

My answer is, find someone who's already reaching your target market in droves, and use THEM to build your list!

How?

With these three easy steps:

STEP 1:
Determine exactly who your ideal client or customer is.The more descriptive you can be here, the better. For example, don't just think "men". Think "men ages 18-40 who like sports and working out". Don't just think "small business owners". Think "women owners of professional service businesses that do less than $1 million a year".

Can you take on clients or customers who fall outside of this description? Of course! But you need to know who you're going after.Example: Many years ago, I spent a romantic summer week on Nantucket Island in Massachusetts. My beau was wonderful in letting me decide most of the activities we'd do each day. But there was one thing he definitely wanted to do at least once - go bluefishing!

Now I'm not sure if you could have guessed this, but I'm not really into fishing. ; )But hey, I'll try anything once, so off we went to the docks. Now, I figured we could go on any boat with any captain and do this. But no ... we went with "Captain Dan the Bluefish Man" (who smelled like his specialty). Dan took us on his special boat to this special place off the island where the bluefish were, and we even used special bait that the bluefish liked. And we had great success - they just kept biting!I realized that if you know exactly what you're going after, you're much more likely to get it. The same goes for reaching your target market.

STEP 2:
Find other people, companies, or websites that are ALREADY reaching your target market en masse.Sit down with a cup of coffee this weekend and do some online research regarding your target market. What sites are they already visiting? What newsletters or magazines do they already read? For example, if your target market is stay-at-home moms, find the most popular sites they visit. Find the most popular e-zines they read.Come up with a list of your top five websites and top five ezines that are already reaching your ideal client or customer.

STEP 3:
Contact these websites and ezines and see if they will

• REVIEW your book, products, services, or ezine for their readers. If so, send them a review copy and follow up a week or two later. Request that when they run the review they mention your e-zine and direct people to your website to sign up
• accept guest ARTICLES. If so, then submit one of your best, with a short bio that links people back to your website to sign up for your ezine.
• SWAP ads or recommendations for each other's websites, products, or services. If you have an ezine that reaches the same target market they want to reach, this is a great win-win.
• do a CO-REGISTRATION deal. If you already have a good amount of e-zine subscribers and website traffic, they may be open to adding your e-zine to their ezine signup form if you do the same on your part. (Ideally folks should just check a box to subscribe to the additional e-zine automatically.)
• run a recommendation or ad in exchange for a COMMISSION on resulting sales. For example, you give them the ad to run, tagged with a link that lets you know if any sales come from it. (This is easy for you to do if you have an online affiliate program.*)
• accept PAID advertising. Banner ads, text ads, and other paid placements obviously cost you money, but if it's your only option and you really want to reach these folks, go for it. But be sure to track your results so you can see if it's working. (You'll need a link tracking program to do this.*)And these are just a FEW ideas to get you started!Remember, your #1 goal is to get people back to your site to sign up for your e-zine or other email list, because THAT is how you guarantee the chance to market to them repeatedly!(*I use and recommend www.QueenCart.com for automating your affiliate program and tracking all your ad links.)© 2004-2009 Alexandria Brown International Inc.

Brother inlaw's Lucky Escape

Husband's family is okay ...lucky escape!

Got a phone call early this morning from my sister-inlaw to say have you seen the news. We said no obviously and she sent us the link to this.

She was not home at the time but her hubby was sitting in the lounge room. Usually he would be looking after the grand kids while Mum and Daughter play netball but they were not there luckily or it could have been much worse.

Apparently the guy just skid off the highway in the wet about 6.00pm last night and came ploughing through the back yard took out their bedroom and landed on their veranda.

Noone was seriously hurt luckily but what a mess!

Good news is the guy is insured and they will get a brand new veranda and bedroom.

You just never know when someone is going to drop by unexpected.

"News Article Reads....
A 12 tonne truck has crashed into the dining room of a family home in Newcastle north of Sydney.
Newcastle police are investigating the crash, which involved a heavy tipper truck travelling north on Croudace Street, Lambton about 6pm on Monday.
The truck, carrying 12 tonnes of soil, hit a telegraph pole and began to skid, hitting a walkway railing and the perimeter fence of a home in Jerrawa Close, police said.
No one was injured.
'The truck crashed through the Colorbond fence and into the dining room of the home,' a NSW police said.
The 55-year-old driver was taken to Newcastle's John Hunter Hospital for observation but no one was injured in the collision.
Investigations are continuing."

Have a great day.

Twitter Video From Alex Mandossian

Hi there


This is just a quick blog to tell you about this cool video that I just watched about the Power of Twitter.
Twitter Video Lesson For Getting Traffic

Alex Mandossian just sent it to me today on twitter and seeing as I am new to twitter he couldn't have sent it to a better person. Trust me I am really green when it comes to this cool new place to meet people.

I was going to do a video for you, just so you could hear my Aussie/Canadian/Kiwi weird accent (that's another story) but I am on my husband's computer because mine is away being fixed (blew up yesterday). Don't you just love technology.

Anyway this video is by Paul Colligan and I learnt so much from this one video I cannot recommend it enough.

If you are a twitter GURU then you probably know all this stuff but it you are new like me then I highly recommend you watch it. Best tutoral and traffic builder lesson I have seen so far.

This is not an affiliate link, just a link to the video because it really helped me to understand the power of Twitter.

Paul takes you step by step through how to use each twitter tool and why to use it.

Twitter Video Lesson for Getting Traffic

Anyway, don't take my word for it, just check it out.

Have a great weekend. Off to the beach (this is my beach here in Sydney Australia) for the compulsory glass of wine with my girlfriend Meredith.

Yes, I do live in paradise and appreciate it everyday. One of the reasons I became an entrepreneur pure lifestyle!

Don't you just love Fridays (for all my US friends 1 more day to go)

Happy tweeting.

The Power Of Twitter

Twitter....What the heck is Twitter?
Okay up until about 7 days ago I would have to have said 'I don't know'. That is right, all I knew about this twitter thing was that it was some sort of social marketing medium that everyone was joining.

Check out my twitter page

Then I got an email from one of my mentors and this is what he told me....

If you are not using Twitter you are crazy
Then he went on to explain why....

These days people are really time poor, but this generation love to social network on topics from internet marketing to music to car racing to surfing. It connects people all around the world who have a common interest. It is a great way to make new friends without being sold to.

Okay so your asking...I do not have time for idle chit chat
Well that is where you are being very narrow focussed in the power of these networks.

These social networking websites is not about marketing your business, or selling stuff it is about building relationships, helping other people, recommending ideas and solutions, passing on knowledge all for free because you can.

And you know what, what goes around comes around. You help someone out online because you just want to, then one day when you need a hand there will be someone out there in these social mediums that will help you. Just because they can and they want to.

It is about getting back to basics....none of this what is in it for me mentality that has taken over the world. Just meet people, have a chat, ask a few questions if you need help and perhaps when it comes to launching your new product or new business, they just might help you promote it.

Not because there is something in it for them. Because they like you, they want to help you to succeed and because they have a relationship with you.

That is the POWER of TWITTER.....Ability to build RELATIONSHIPS with likeminded people all around the world and it is FANTASTIC!

Check out my twitter page

Now, let me give you an example of how wonderful twitter is.
I joined only 7 days ago with absolutely no idea what I was doing ( still very green but learning every day cause I keep asking questions). And this is what has happened:

• I have 140 followers ( that is pretty low but I am excited)
• Some of the world's best internet marketers are now following my tweets ( who would have thought that I could chat with Guru's like Stephen Pierce, John Reese, Perry Belcher) all on twitter
• I meeting people all around the world who can teach me stuff and help me learn more

It is really, really cool.

But be careful, some people like to spam on there and impersonate people. I got a tweet from a guy pretending to be Frank Kern. I thought it was really him but it turned out it was some idiot trying to be funny and impersonate him. I think he has since been removed. Moral of the story 'don't mess with the big guys'.

So today I am highly recommending to you that you take the time to set up a Twitter account it is free. And start meeting people who may be interested in your niche so that you can start building your own friendships and relationships around the world online.

Start following me on twitter, I would love to say hello.

Have a fantastic day.

Cheers

Infomillionaire Lauched today -Did you get your copy

Have You Got Your Copy Of Infomillionaire Yet?

Infomillionaire launched today and there is only 2000 copies and I already got mine!

Now this is not about Frank Kern's product launch it is about the actual product. Frank Kern is one of my mentors which is one of the reasons why I bought the product. But the main reason is because it is about getting the 'basics' right and it is important for me to be able to help you by making sure I have all the latest information.

Informillionaire is for people who are thinking about launching their own info product in 2009. I love info products, in fact it is my area of expertise which is why I was the first person to buy Frank's infomillionaire.

If there is anything I have learnt in the last 3 years, it is to find a mentor that you respect and trust and learn from them.

My learning will never stop and I know there is so much more to learn in regards to marketing and selling to micro niches that this infomillionaire product is going to help me with.

What is even better is that I am going to be able to help you with your own learning in the New Year. Because what I learn from my mentors I pass on to my students so it is a win/win. So if there is anything in the informillionaire that you don't understand you can just ask me and I will create a tutorial on that topic.

I am already in the process of creating a 'new niche' as we speak and I am going to use the infomillionaire tutorials to make sure I am maximising the set up of this new niche to get a quick return.

And you know what I love most about info products. They are lots and lots of fun and really easy to do, but more importantly they are the most inexpensive online business to get started.

Anyway, my Christmas holiday starts today. I am off to the Hunter Valley on Sunday and then to Queensland to lie around the pool for 7 days. Guess what book I am taking with me to read....infomillionaire.

There is only 2,000 copies available at the postage price of $19 to Australia or $9.00 to the US so I would be quick if you are thinking of getting one before they run out. Frank is putting the price up to $43.00 (which includes subscription to his mentoring program per month).

Have a fantastic Christmas break with your family, thanks for being a part of Pammieb in 2008 and I am really excited about 2009 it is going to be my best year yet...how about you?.

PS. Have you done your goals yet. Why not take the easy way out and download a copy of my Mindset for Online Success Goals Workbook and audio. You can write your goals with a glass of wine over the holidays all ready to implement for January.

HAPPY NEW YEAR :)

To Your Success
