Retweeting On Twitter Is A Useful Tool To Build Stronger Relationships And Trust For Your FollowersPosted by Bonnie Holscher on October 11th, 2009

When I first got started on Twitter, I had no idea what a RT or retweet was let alone how to do it.  I would see them and read thank you s for them but was clueless until I began to pay attention and ask some questions. So what is a retweet and what is the purpose.

A retweet or RT as you will see it is someone who repeats a post that someone else wrote and gives them the credit for the tweet by putting RT in front or the writers username.  Sometimes it is a quote or saying that someone likes or it is a product that is worthy of a repeat to the world of social networking.  There is an advantage to having someone retweet your post.  This allows your information to go to their entire network as well as your network which gives you a broader reader base. 

When you retweet a post, it shows appreciation for the information and creates a basis for future relationships with the people involved.  These people will watch your information more and pass it on when it is appropriate.  By retweeting someones material you are also placing value on the post by acknowledging the content and any links that the post may have. 

Also by using the retweet option, you begin to build a basis for your own brand.  Make sure when you retweet, that the information is good information and not just links to junk and other spam type advertising.  This builds a loyalty and trust for your followers when they know you are passing on great and relevant material. They will also trust your links to whatever it may be that you are promoting or content on your website.  When you are courteous and respectful you will find that there are more followers and more traffic to your websites which is a great recipe for success.

Adding Video Will Raise Your Credibility And Value OnlinePosted by Bonnie Holscher on September 29th, 2009

It is true that people will connect with and purchase from those they believe to be a real person and what they have to offer really does work.  This is why it is extremely important to put your picture in your posts and promotions.  But pictures seem to be only half the story.  Video is not only up and coming, it is here to stay.  One of the most effective ways to bring credibility to your sites, products and/or services is to have video of yourself and in time video testimonials.  What can be more effective than having someone endorse you and what you do and how it effected or change their life.

So I played around this morning with the camcorder attached to my computer (it is an older one)and made this video.  It is not the greatest of quality at this point but now I become real to thousands if not millions of people.  Video can be shot with your camera, a camcorder and even the webcam in or on your computer.  I even edited it, giving it a title and credits which made it more desirable.  You can learn this too.  Although I learned this a while ago I did not embrace it till I experienced the training of Joel Bauer at a seminar here in Vegas.  Alex Mandossian also taught this on a stage at a Peak Potentials Event not long ago. 

So with out further adou….My video
Remember if you are not willing to promote yourself….who else do you think will?

Learn An Understand The Importance Of Building A List to Grow Your BusinessPosted by Bonnie Holscher on September 18th, 2009

For many who begin their journey into online marketing, list building can be confusing and not understood properly.  I did not realize when I got started how important my list was and how to use it to build my business.  The truth of the matter is, that without a list there are few in which you can market to.  And the ability to create and attract traffic to your website or blog can be a bit challenging. 

Your list is those people who are interested in what you are offering and in what information that you are providing.  If you are an affiliate marketer, these are also the people whom you will market the products and services that have helped you build your business or people that you follow for their expertise.  Once you have created a product or service of your own, your list is the lifeline to the internet and thousands of other possible visitors to you blog or website. 

It is so important to provide great information and tips or suggestions as well as purchasable materials to add value for your followers to use in their businesses.  Sometimes just a note of encouragement or acknowlegement to let them know that they are appreciated is a welcome for many who receive your email.

n autoresponder is the most common way to build your list and stay in touch on a regular basis.  I use an autoresponder system that allows me to have several different websites feed into one location for easy access.  The Incredible Shopping Cart has helped me to change my business from minimal exposure to contact with many many amazing people.  I share the products and services in the form of affiliations that have assisted me in building my business.  Sometimes I share books that I have read or seminar events that I have gone to or am going to attend in the process of continuing my education.  You do not need an extremely huge list to create an income and help others along the way.  Remember not to abuse the information that your list provides to you and provide an opt out in case there are a few who would like to stop receiving your information.  Once in a while they return and bring more with them when you respect their decision and just say Thank You for their time. Your list is a tremendous value to your online success.  Treat it as such.

Organize And Outsource To Optimize Your Time ManagementPosted by admin on August 23rd, 2009

Building a business, especially online is a time consuming project and it is easy to get distracted in the course of a day.  Time management becomes extremely important to insure that ample time is created or set aside to get done the prior items that utimately make money.  And after all, making money is the name of the game. 

So the first thing you must do to create a managed environment is to get organized.  I sometimes have difficulty with this because I tend to write post it notes and after a while they pile up.  The next thing you know, I am not getting anything done since I am fishing through the pile trying to find the things I did not complete before.  The easiest way to avoid this is to put on a new post it the items not completed at the top and throw the old list away.  The next morning you can add to the list items that need attention during that day but paying particular attention to priority money making tasks.

Another way to maximize your time is to outsource things that can be easily done by others. This leave the more important priority items to you direct attention to complete.  Yes, it will cost a few dollars to get some kind of assistant however, the money you are saving and in turn earning far out weighs the few dollars necessary to get the lesser important items and tasks done by someone capable of assisting you. 

But if you are not quite ready for an assistant and you’re buried under a sea of yellow stickies with your to-do list on them; have lost an ebook you downloaded, or have ever purchased the same item more than once - then you are the perfect candidate for Organize Your Online Business .
You can get a free workshop that will help you take and keep control or your business and your time.  Your business will become profitable quicker and with the efficiency necessary to keep it that way.

The online business will have need of a shopping cart as well to take make payments and deliver your product especially if it is a digital product. If this product is one of your own will will want to consider an affiliate program and possibly a membership site sometime in the future.

It is an advantage to have all these product under one roof so to speak to provide easy access and the ability to make quick changes when needed. The Incredible Shopping Cart is one that provides all these elements in one website and one I have use it since seriously starting online in 2007. As I grow the need for more of these elements grows and all that needs to be done is to upgrade my cart to the next level as is needed. This website is easy to access and can be outsourced to a virtual assistant when your growth call for you to prioritize. You can’t go wrong with a 30 day trial at no cost to you.  You can try it on for size and decide for yourself.  Many of the affiliate program that I promote use this website to host their programs.

Create A Plan To Build An Online Passive Residual IncomePosted by admin on July 15th, 2009

Getting started with an online business is not really difficult.  The entire process, from the time you decide on a niche until you have a product online for sale can take as little three weeks. Once you have it  ready, you only have to drive traffic to the opt in page you create and build your list.  It take persistance to stay with it and desire to continue learning as you grow.

 A lot of people work with private label rights products to replace their income within a few months of getting started.  These digital products can be purchased very inexpensively and you can edit or rewrite them  or leave them the way they are.  PLR products come with graphics and a sales letter already.  Others will use products you can find at Your Public Domain Expert that are available until they create a product of their own to sell.  Once you can create information products of your own that will bring you years of passive income you your need for other people’s material will become less of a need for your success. 

Make sure that you choose a niche there is a market for and be prepare to change topics when you find that yours has little to no current marketing that can increase you income. The ability to work online, from anywhere you choose where there is an internet connection, lets you to have a lifestyle you probably only dreamed of before.  Just learn how to build your online empire in a way that you will have the freedom to do things in your  life that will mean something to you and those you care about.  It is all possible once you make the decision to do something to create an income that supports your new lifestyle and works even when you do not.  There is so many tools and so much information available to help you along your journey.  All you have to do in look for it, invest in yourself and watch you online empire grow.

There Are Three Steps A Great Entrepreneur Will UsePosted by admin on May 4th, 2009

You’ve probably heard the saying, “Success leaves clues…”.  

To me that means that success doesn’t just happen.  It is carefully thought out, planned and earned.  Great entrepreneurs have a three step formula that’s rarely discussed.  I’m not even sure that many people are aware of it at all.  But within the stories of greatest of business people, you can track this formula every time.

First, great entrepreneurs learn from the best.  They identify what really works in business by learning from the best experts in the world.  They avoid the hyped up garbage that is marketed as “the next great solution”.

Second, great entrepreneurs learn very well.  They study and retain what they’re taught.  They don’t just skim material, breeze through books, and yawn through seminars.  They absorb, ponder, analyze, and review the material over and over again. 

Third, great entrepreneurs apply what they have  learned. They refuse to be distracted and they focus on their objective. They go and do the work. They pay the price. They take the risks. They understand that no amount of knowledge matters one bit unless it’s applied.

So the formula in it’s simplicity is that entrepreneurs learn from the best, learn well and apply what they learn to create the success and the lifestyles they now live.

When You Write Your Article Or Ebook Using An Outline Will Help You Stay FocusedPosted by admin on April 25th, 2009

Sometimes when you sit down to write you may find that you have difficulty staying focused on the task at hand.  Sometimes, it is writer’s block or too many distractions.  What I find helpful is to write an outline of some kind so I know my direction and can resume my work if I get distracted. 

You can always add to or take away during the course of your writing but at least you have some direction to follow. ASs you go you will fill in the blanks with more and new ideas.  This will create  the flow that will make the reading more interesting to your readers.  It is also a great way generate new ideas for other articles or blog posts for the future. 

As you continue to add to your library of material, you can then begin to out these together to create an ebook for future distribution.  An outline is like a roadmap and you would not even begin to take a trip without a map to show the way.  So when you sit down to write develop a map or outline to get you from where you are to where you want to go in your writing.
