Ann Evanston~Warrior-Preneur Radio

Ann Evanston recently interviewed me on Warrior-Preneur Radio. Her style is refreshing and revealing. I cannot wait to meet her in person and have a glass of wine. Listen in to the interview here — you’ll learn things about me that I hadn’t revealed in an interview until now.  I invite you to listen in (it’s about 1/2 hour long) and then weigh in below.

Ann’s goal is to capture imagination, capture power and capture success. She believes that within every entrepreneur there is a warrior with power that is strong, loving and captivating. These warriors are able to draw people in so they WANT to be a part of something much larger.

Do you believe you’re a warrior? If so, how so? Leave your comments here and feel free to ask questions about the interview, too.

Joy, gratitude, appreciation, love and being grateful for your life are all a part of my daily routine (yes, even on bad days). So, I ask you to think about how truly blessed you are. And, I ask what are you grateful for?

Take a peek at this quick inspirational movie and then share what you’re most grateful for below:

Please share what you’re most grateful. I’d love to read your comments. The more we practice gratitude for what is, the sooner we’ll achieve what’s next.

Here are some signs that your site is working for you (and 5 vital elements to successful websites).

Your website:

• Engages: This means people can interact (perhaps via your blog). Your information is clearly stated so potential customers can find what they are looking for easily.
• Informs: This means you provide information that is useful to visitors (this could be resources, links to your blog, or details on how your products and services work.).
• Develops relationships: This means people begin to get a sense of what you can offer them (including your “free taste” or possibly video/audio messages to connect – again, depends on your strategy.).
• Flows well: This means there is a logical, proven flow for your content (people can find your “free stuff” easily and they can find information for various services or products easily).
• Promotes action: This means you invite visitors to do something that engages, informs and develops your relationship (offering a “free taste” and inviting them to take the next logical step to do business with you which results in sales.).

If all of these elements are in place and you’re still not getting results it usually because of one or two things or a combination of both.

The bottom line is that you pay for your designer to deliver a design that is not only eye catching but also supports the main function of your site which should be to symbiotically build relationships and create a money engine for your business.

You know your strategy and what you ultimately want your site to do and the bottom line is it should be working for you to develop relationships and increase your bottom line.

You should get what you pay for and that means your designer should respect your requests. It can be done. I’ve seen it.

Have you compromised the flow of your website because of bad advice from a designer?

I want to hear from you.

I recently discovered SARK on Facebook and am THRILLED.  She is one of my all time favorite authors. In fact, just looking at her books inspires me. I‘m drawn to her words and her art and it makes my soul smile.

So, you can imagine my elation when I discovered she is offering a very cool Dream Boogie program where you can play directly with her via teleclass and more. The creative person in me cannot wait — the marketing mind loves how she’s juiced up her sales page for the Dream Boogie program. This is proof that business can fun. So, go ahead and check it out and dream BIG in full color. Her class starts next week, so, act fast. click on the dancing banner for more info…how cool is that?!

It’s true that life can be challenging. That’s why it’s important to find joy in the simple things. In fact, being happy can be as simple as finding joy.

So, if things seem a little hectic right now, this little burst of inspiration is just what you need.

Press releases aren’t just for the media anymore. In this Manyon Marketing Makeover you’ll discover how press releases can help your marketing mix.

• Do you regularly share your gifts with the world?
• Are you leveraging your talents to gain credibility?
• Do you know that you can get more clients and make it easier for customers to find you online with a press release marketing strategy?

Watch this quick video and be sure to share your press release success stories below the video (you can improve your press release marketing in under a minute…).

If you haven’t already, it’s time for you to start your press release marketing strategy.

While it’s true that press releases should be a vital part of your marketing efforts there’s a specific formula you must follow. You can apply some of the various copywriting techniques I’ve shared in previous Manyon Marketing Makeover but press releases should not be too salesy or they’ll quickly find their way into the round filing systems (otherwise known as the garbage can in the offline world) or worse yet, if done incorrectly you’ll be considered a press release SPAMMER.

Have you already incorporated press release marketing into your marketing mix? If so, share your success stories here or feel free to ask questions if you’re not sure how to get started (just post a comment and I’ll respond) or incorporate them into your mix?

Oh, and be sure to take the Write On Creative Press Release Producer for spin today – it’s on me — just make sure you know the proper formatting and you have a press release marketing strategy before you get started… Press Release Producer
