So you might notice the new blog header design up there…it’s still in working mode now but will get some more tweaks as I have my guy doing some awesome work!  Nate Holland thanks for putting up with me and my pickiness!!

With the awesome group of people I’ve been around the past year with internet marketing I’ve grown to love blogging and all that comes with it :).  However, for me, someone who it’s inherently hard to come up with my own ideas it took A WHILE for me to figure out what I really wanted my blog to center around.  REALLY HARD.  I remember the first time I created my blog header, I could NOT think of another tagline other than the mentor’s that I was learning from.  FAIL!!

But with a year blogging about stuff I liked, tips and tricks, I found my niche!  I am so excited to merge my latest passion for healthy eating, working out, building a business with a need I saw in the MOST awesome niche of fit bloggers.   There are SO many fit bloggers out there that love blogging but are wanting to expand their reach and gain more of an audience to their blog!!  So my passion falls with helping those fit bloggers to get their brand out and attract more of an audience, and then on top of it be able to profit from their blog.

What makes me qualified to blog about this?  Well, just over a year ago I started this very blog in the field of internet marketing.  I did like what I was doing, but didn’t LOVE it.  I didn’t live, eat and breathe internet marketing.  So I posted a blog post MAYBE about once a week.  HAHA, yeah that’s not going to cut it!  With that being the fact, I was still able to generate many comments on each post, and got my blog to an Alexa rank in the 60’000′s for the US.  I also have many of my previous blog posts that are on the first page of google for that particular keywords.  I am building a list and can share how to do this (and why) and have affiliate commissions from posts that I did many months ago still rolling in :D.  Can you say hoorah for THAT for just making a recommendation?!  So just imagine when my focus is now with my passion, and I’m EXCITED to blog every day!

I have some more awesomeness up my sleeve and will share and it will be great!  So keep checking back over the next month as there will be more to come.

***Just in case, the new giveaway is NOT ready yet!  So if you opt in now you will get my “Conquering Prospecting with Personality Colors”…It’s awesome free training that WILL impact every part of your life as id did mine, but the new giveaway will be out soon and you will be the first to know!

Please comment below if you have any feedback on my blog, comments, general excitement to share, whatever!  I want to hear from you!!  Much love to you all and I’m so excited to share the things to come!

***PS…Tonight we will be covering “7 PROVEN Leadership Skills That Will PAY YOU For A Lifetime”  Get excited!!

Hey ladies and gents!  With all the buying and joining and collaborating going on, it beggs the question:

Why is Customer Service so important in our industry?

Well I have a recent customer service story for ya that will show you why, if you don’t already know.  It will put into perspective (and in your wallet haha!!) why you and I need to constantly develop our customer service skills to not only better our bottom line, but it’s just plain the nice thing to do!  So…do you really need customer service skills if you are in Network and/or Internet Marketing?

YUP.

In the video below I share a recent customer service experience I had with an internet marketer whose product I was looking at buying.  So did I buy?  I’ll tell ya below :).

Why is customer service so important in network and internet marketing?  Watch below!

Click here to view the embedded video.

Here are some important tips to develop your customer service skillz:

1.  Yes, the customer is always right.

Really, what if they are totally wrong?  If that is what you are thinking then you’ve missed the point of that expression.  ”The Customer is Always Right” means that no matter what their question or concern is it’s valid, even if they are expressing something that you might see as silly, weird, stupid, etc.  It’s a concern to them, and since they might potentially join your business or buy your product you need to take the time to address it with understanding.  (And as I’ve said before, it’s just the nice thing to do!)

2.  Be Approachable.

Make it known that a potential buyer/team member can come to you with any questions, even if it’s a simple one or one that may seem that they should know.  Being approachable sets that person at ease and let’s them know that you are genuinely there to support and help them with any potential problems or questions they have.

3.  Be Smart.

There are always those people who are just “time-suckers”.  Meaning that they don’t get it that you have a business to run, family to be with etc.  They think the world revolves around them.  Unfortunately from a customer service point of view you can’t just ignore or dismiss them.   A person is 10 times more likely to post a negative review than a positive one so if they thing you stiffed them that might turn into something you don’t want it to.   So politely address them while at the same time asserting your position as a leader and that you value your time.  It’s delicate, but we all gotta do it from time to time!

What are your Network Marketing Customer Service experiences?

I’d love to hear them below!  Share with your twitter and facebook friends and let’s get the word out that we need to continually develop our Customer Service skillz!

PS, did I buy that guys landing page templates.  NOPE!  He actually suggested a better one and I went with that one.  If anyone is looking for great landing pages templates that are customizable do let me know!  I’m sure I’ll do a post on them at some point :).

What an interesting paradoxical question, don’t you think?  Lately I’ve seen a few guru’s who in their latest products or courses who are touting their successes to an ultra-high degree, at least in my book.

While they do have tremendous successes that are clearly evident…if they are clearly evident do we need to hear them talking about themselves about how awesome they are?  No we don’t, because we already know it.  Otherwise why would we be interested in their products, blog posts, ideas etc?  :).   So my opinion is that there is no need to tell people how incredibly successful we are.  Our success will be evident to those around us!

So that beggs the question…

How Can You Brand Yourself, Without Making it About You?

Watch below, and enjoy!

Click here to view the embedded video.

For those of us in Internet Marketing, we do need to employ the online marketing strategy of branding ourselves.  But if you do it the right way, I firmly believe that it will mean that much MORE success that will come our way.

I would love to hear your thoughts below!  Tell me what you think about branding yourself without it being about you…even opposing viewpoints!  If you find this post helpful please do share on Facebook and Twitter too!

Thanks so much for being a part of the community here on my blog, I appreciate you!

So here I am wondering….

Why don’t I get email notifications from Facebook when someone interacts on my Fan Page like I do when

someone interacts on my profile??

Seems like Facebook should have this integrated with our Fan Pages by now as we know how IMPORTANT it is to comment back and build those relationships with those that take the time to comment on our Fan Pages.  So I was browsing around Kacy Elyzabeth’s blog and found her post on the PageNotifier Application you can find on Facebook that does email you when someone posts a comment on your page!  COOLIO!!!

So I’d like to share with you what this application can do, it’s limitations, but also it’s SUPERB helpfulness when it comes to keeping track of who is doing what on your Facebook Fan Page!

Click here to view the embedded video.

How cool is that?

So you can at least get an email every 24 hours of who did what on your fan page, and if you want to be notified more frequently you can get a subscription plan for SUPER cheap.  Here is the link to the PageNotifier Application page for you to check out and see if’s something you’d like to use (this is not an affiliate link):

http://www.facebook.com/PageNotifier

Please do let me know what you think of this awesome application by leaving your comment below and you know all of us with Fan Pages NEED an application like this so be sure to tweet it out and share this post on Facebook to get the word out and help our fellow entrepreneurs!  If you do plan to use it be sure to leave a comment on the Fan Page for PageNotifier to let them know they ROCK!

I have to Ping my blog post???

Yes…that was my revelation not too long ago when I was watching a video on this very subject on one of Ryan Yokome’s blogs.  Alright guys…so I’ve had plenty of these “duh” moments lol, so I decided to create a category here on my blog for newbies to check out and get the information that you need to do, but for some reason it’s easy to miss when you are jumping in head first into blogging.  So with this first post here I’m sharing what pinging is and why you need to do it RIGHT after you post your blog post.  Check out this short video below:

Click here to view the embedded video.

So again, the purpose of pinging is VERY important and will affect your Alexa Ranking!  You want to ping when you have any new content on your blog or website, and you can also ping your videos…if you are purposefully using keywords in your video titles then pinging will certainly help your efforts.

Here are the sites that I manually ping after every blog post:

http://www.blogbuzzer.com/
http://http://pingomatic.com/
http://www.pingoat.com/
http://www.pingler.com/

I have Pingler as the last site I manually ping as it takes a while for it to ping all 89 (was 79 sites when I made the video) sites so that window can stay up and running while you move on to your next task.  Here is the link to get the MaxBlog Press Ping Optimizer Plugin as it’s not on the plugin list in your WordPress back-office area:

http://www.maxblogpress.com/plugins/mpo/

Here also are the pinging sites I plug into my MaxBlog Press Ping Optimizer…make sure you double check that there aren’t duplicates as much as you can if you currently have your own list or are planning on adding more to this list (sorry if I have any duplications!!):

That Ping List should get you started…

WHEW!!  Now it’s your turn…did you know about pinging?  If so did you learn about it after the fact like I did and see a huge jump in your Alexa ranking when you started?  Are you a total internet marketing newbie and this is the first you’ve heard of pinging your blog posts and videos?  Please do share below your thoughts as I SOOOOO appreciate it and please do also share with your Facebook and Twitter friends as I know more people need to know this kind of “tech-y” stuff.

Don't make excuses. Make things happen. Make changes. Then make history.--Doug Hall (The Maverick Mindset)

The idea of Embracing Change comes in our lives MANY times…the question is do we embrace those changes, or do we cower from it?  I recently had two situations placed before me, and they were with two people that I know very well.  So I was an outsider able to see what embracing change does to someone’s life.

My Grammy is an inspiration to me and I learn so much from her!  (No I’m not talking about the Musical award…but rather my Grandmother).  So in the video below I share an outsiders view of two people’s lives…one that embraced change and one that did not.  (Hint:  the one that embraced changes in her life (my Grammy) has created quite the success for herself!)

So take a look at the video below and see how embracing the new changes for your business will help propel you forward and create new opportunities for you!

For me personally, my biggest change I have embraced recently is getting into personal branding.  It’s QUITE the undertaking, but I know without a doubt that it will benefit me and MANY others in the long-run.  So for me it’s totally worth it to be in this journey with you guys!

So what are your experiences with change?  Have you cowered from it before or risen above the fear and just DID IT?  Share below your thoughts on embracing change for others to see and let’s learn from each other!  If you found this post helpful do share on Facebook and Twitter too!

Change in all things is sweet.–Aristotle

I’m so excited to share with you a new plugin I found, WPtouch Pro!  But before I get to that, have you ever found yourself cancelling out of a website on your desktop or cell phone because it was taking too long to load? I am guilty of doing this because I have “internet ADD” like Amanda-Marie says. So I had an “A-ha” moment the other day as I found myself leaving someone’s blog on my iPhone because it was loading too slow.  I’ll explain a bit more in the video, but here are a few quick statistics for you:

According to the website MobiThinking.com, “There are more than 150 million active users currently accessing Facebook through their mobile devices. People that use Facebook on their mobile devices are twice more active on Facebook than non-mobile users.” – Facebook official statistics (August, 2010).

The website also goes on to say “Mobile subscribers will surpass 5 billion in 2010 (that’s over 70 percent of the world population).”

The International Telecommunication Union (February 2010) reports that in 2009 there were 4.6 billion mobile cellular subscriptions globally. The ITU expects this to reach 5 billion in 2010 (the world population in April 2010 was 6.8 billion.”  Finally, they project that “The number of people accessing the mobile Internet is growing fast and is expected to overtake the PC as the most popular way to get on the Web within five years.”

Woah!  I didn’t even realize that mobile phone users accessed their internet so much!  But with that said, here is my eureka moment on video, and I hope you get some real value out of this!

Is your blog ready to be accessed quickly via cell phones?

Well Thanks again gang for hanging in with me! I know these videos are on the longer side but you know, the time they will save you in your research will give you MUCH more time in the end, and you will avoid many (hopefully all) if the scams!

So Video 3 in my “Help With Your Work at Home Search” series goes over in details the process that you need to go through to find your perfect work at home business, the FIRST time. It will show you how to find what you are passionate about and for you to figure out what you want to do, hopefully the first time so that you don’t waste ANY time or money.

I wasted about $1000 trying to find my perfect work at home opportunity because I jumped on the first thing that was presented to me. Turns out I didn’t have the passion for it and did NOT wake up excited to work my business. So don’t let that happen to you! Watch now and take some notes to get the specific process you can use to find your perfect work at home business.

So what do you think about that? Will that help you in your work at home search? Thanks so much for your input and feedback. If you have ANY questions about working at home or finding your perfect opportunity please don’t hesitate to ask me! I wish you MUCH success in your search!!

I’d like to thank you for continuing with me on this work at home search journey! KUDOS to you for sticking with this video series as they will tremendously cut down on your work at home search time.

So what is next to check out on your Work at Home Search?

In my quest to help those looking to work at home, I’ve heard about every excuse or reason to qualify people’s work at home search.  What I mean is that people put certain limitations or qualifications that a work at home job or business MUST provide.  I’ve heard people put SO MANY of these qualifications that I can guarantee they will not find what they are looking for.  So many people have big things they want to accomplish, but want to do the littlest possible to achieve them.  Others want to do little work for a huge pay check.  What my goal is with this video today is to help you get deep down to the root of why you have these excuses or reasons as to why you will or will not do “xyz” with your work at home job or business.

So what I talk about in the video is a little blunt and to the point; but I hope with this video to help work through these scenerios to get to the root of why you might say that you don’t want to do this or that while you are working at home.  Here is a list of the common excuses/reasons that I hear from people on their work at home search:

1.  I don’t have any money/don’t want to pay to start.

2.  I don’t want to sell anything.

3.  I don’t want to talk on the phone.

4.  I don’t want to do a pyramid scheme.

5.  I don’t want to recruit.

6.  I don’t want to stock products.

7.  I don’t want to do parties.

8.  I’ve tried other home businesses and they didn’t work for me.

9. I need a steady paycheck.

10. I don’t want to spend a lot of time working.

Any of these sound familiar?  If so the video below will really help you work through these excuses or reasons to find the answer as to WHY you are putting these qualifications on your work at home search.  Finding this answer will help you to either over come them or help you to narrow your work at home search.  For those of you who already work at home, likely you will gain value from this as these are also the most common objections you will hear. So for you this video will give you some tips on how to overcome these objections. Check out the videos below to get the explaination of each qualification listed above!

And here is the second part of Video 2…thanks for sticking with this!!

Here are the two sites that I mentioned in part one of this section:

http://www.ChaCha.com

http://www.KGB.com

So what do you think?  Did anything make sense…do you object to anything I mentioned?  I would love to hear your feedback on if this video helped you sort through any possible fears, or if you agreed/disagreed with anything too!  If you learned a lot and think others might too please retweet or share on facebook via the buttons at the top of the post!  Thanks so much for your input!
