Come and meet the members of The Meet Market and find out what you can expect in the real estate market during the coming months.
If you come, look for me, I’ll be wearing the hat, of course!
I love publishing. I published a small business newspaper in the early 90s’, The Business Resource. I was crushed when it became clear I couldn’t go on with it any longer. That’s when, by a fluke, I ended up at McGraw-Hill in their New Media Division.
When they closed our offices in March 2003, I wondered what I would do next. Little did I know, I’d end up on the Internet. I did know, I wanted a job/business where I could work from my laptop anywhere!
Magic In Words was born out of that desire. I want to share with you, what’s possible on the Internet for your business too.
As a programmer it’s a lot easier for me to venture into cyberspace. I’ve been there since Yahoo was a strange and foreign word! Trust me when I say, as a small business owner you need to take a look at what you can do to market your business online.
Is The Internet A Puzzle To You?
It can be confusing. What’s a url? What’s an autoresponder? How do I build a list? What’s a list?
We all have to start somewhere. On July 30th, join me at Simply Ambrosia for some great networking and a dinner seminar on taking your business online.
In this two hour dinner seminar you’ll:
Find out what you need to do to get started
Discover how to market your business through e-mail
Learn how to easily get visitors names for your contact database
Start creating your first information product and find out why you want one
Learn the secrets to online networking and what communities would work for you
And, of course, the dinner and quality networking with other attendees will be outstanding!!!!
Today’s Free Friday was about selling Amazon.com products on your site, or through e-mail, to create a passive stream of income for your business. Let me know what you think by commenting below.
I’ll be teaching, in my online classroom, how to create and maintain an Amazon store for your website. You can find more information on my Online Learning page.
Last Friday I held the Free Friday webinar and introducted blogs to the participants. Blogs, and more particularly the RSS feeds are core to the social networking trend we are experiencing right now.
If you have a passionate message you feel compelled to share, blogging is the tool of choice. You’d be amazed at how you can syndicate your content across the web.
Let me know what you think of the video by commenting below.
I’ll be sharing with you how you can sell Amazon products on your website, or through your e-mail. Discover how becoming an Amazon Associate can add passive income to your website, turning it from a free-loader to a fee-loader.
Sign up here to attend the webinar. If you’ve been in the room before, just click on the Conference shortcut and come right in. Kick your feet up and relax with a beverage of your choice for 30 minutes and learn a little more about marketing your business on the Internet. It’s one more piece of the puzzle!
One step towards taking your business more into cyberspace is the ability to communicate over the web. I’m a Skype user, which allows me to IM my clients and associates, as well as make Skype to Skype calls. Skype also has what they call, extras. Extras extend the functionality of the software. One extra, Mikogo, which allows you to share your desktop with others. I put it to the test last night and will really thrash it tonight. So far, I’m impressed!
I had a total of four users join the meeting. We were able to easily watch the desktop being shared. We used a PowerPoint presentation and the lapse between clicking the slides and them visually changing was 3 seconds. One of the features I particularly liked was the ability for me, through a mouse click, to point to a part of the page that was being discussed. It’s hard to sit and watch someone else’s cursor on your screen, it’s nice to be able to interact to a degree with your cursor. It’s the ability to say, look at this!
Did I mention, it’s free? All you do is go to Mikogo, sign up for an account and download the Mikogo.exe software. You’ll also want to download the connect.exe found by tapping the "Join Meeting" in the header.
It’s an easy application to use and it will support 10 people in the meeting at one time.
As a blog coach, I find the ability to share my desktop to be essential, especially if I’m training my client on a program or task. If you have any need to share your desktop, and are a Skype user, this is one extra you don’t want to be without.
If you try it, or are working with Mikogo, let me know what you think by commenting.
