Its Almost Time for the Book Launch of Align Expand Succeed!

Do you remember what it was like on Christmas Eve when you were 6 years old? That’s what I feel like today because tomorrow is the launch of a book that will change what people think is “normal” about doing business.

Align, Expand and Succeed; Shifting the Paradigm of Entrepreneurial Success is based on the premise that the world is changing at a very rapid pace. We are starting to see that cooperation brings better results than old style competition. It’s a new era and we need to work together to create success for everyone, not just for a few.

This book features the real life stories of dozens of conscious entrepreneurs who share their wisdom, expertise, lessons and insights about the new and exciting shifts that are happening for entrepreneurs worldwide.

I am honored to be one of the authors of Align Expand Succeed and tomorrow I will post link to the page for you to purchase the book.

On that page you will find a more in depth description of the book plus a list of special bonus’ you will get if you purchase the book on Tuesday Oct 19th. There are over $6000.00 worth of free bonus gifts available! You are welcome to take as many as you like as soon as you purchase the book from Amazon.

Here are just a few of the testimonials about the book:

Today we will continue with our Easy Content Creation Repurposing Strategy. Don’t forget we are still working with a single piece of content – an article of about 500-750 words.

Step 9 Create an Audio of the Blog Posts – Many people prefer to listen to blog posts especially because they can listen while they are doing other low attention tasks like cleaning out their email box. You can use a paid service such as Audio Acrobat or free open source software such as Audacity.

Step 10 Create a Video About the Article and Upload to YouTube. You can use free screenshot software such as Jing by Tech Smith or their paid software which is Camtasia. Another choice is the free tool Animoto which allows you to make videos using images, text and royalty free music.

Step 11 Set Up You Tube to Announce Videos to Twitter and Facebook. Once you set this up you never need to do it again. You do this by going to your account tab, choose activity sharing and connect your other accounts.

Step 12 Submit the Article to IdeaMarketers and Add the Video. The cool thing about IdeaMarketers is that it allow you to embed a YouTube video into your article! Do this about a week after the original article so the announcements will be fresh. Change the title of the article somewhat so when it is announced it won’t seem like a duplication.

Step 13 Announce this article across all your Social Media Sites again. Use Hootsuite to do this.

Step 14 Shampoo Rinse Repeat – Do this over and over and you will be thrilled with how your visibility and credibility will grow online.

I just finished reading the book, Socialnomics about Social Media Marketing and in it Eric Qualman does an excellent job of explaining the fundamental changes in how conscious business owners communicate with their prospects and customers online.

The world is changing at a monumental speed and businesses who chose not to keep up will be left in the dust because the consumer is now in the drivers seat. They get to decide which marketing messages they want to listen too and they expect the opportunity to make their concerns know.

One of the best parts of the book are the Key Points sections at the end of each chapter. The author uses this section to summarize the important points of each chapter and this is a great place for me to go and get quick information points to use in my business.

If you are still not convinced that social media is something you need to invest in for the future of your business this is the book for you! It will definitely change your mind.

Social Media Marketing can be very time consuming so this is a question I get asked all the time. What and how can I outsource Social Marketing tasks and how do I find the right person for the job.

This is one of the questions I get asked all the time and so I thought I would do a Blog post about it. This will also be one of the questions I answer in my FREE Summer Teleseminar series. To sign up for the next Teleseminar go to http://budurl.com/zwdm

Social Media Marketing is a long term strategy so it is important to create your accounts and build out your profiles completely and then spend the first 4-6 months developing relationships and giving your friends and followers as much useful and relevant content as possible.

You can not give too much so don’t hold back in the beginning and you will be rewarded in the future.

Everyone always wants to know how they will be able to sell there products and services on the social networks but what you need to remember is Social Media Marketing is actually word of mouth marketing so you need to build relationships before you can expect to sell anything

The are literally 100s of Social Media Sites so how do you decide which ones are the most important for you and your business?

First don’t forget that the Internet is lays changing so what may be good to day may not be 6 months from now. The number one rule for success online is embrace change. If you don’t change with the times you will be left in the dust.

That said I recommend all of clients maintain a presences on Facebook. Facebook has almost ½ a billion users and that is just too many people to ignore! Chances are pretty good that your target market spends some time on Facebook everyday. Statistics show that most users log on to Facebook at least once a day and spend an average of 30 minutes.

My next pick for all of my clients is Linkedin because it is the number one site for professionals and it is a perfect place to find joint venture partners. Even if your business is not at that stage yet you need to think ahead. Linked in s more formal than all the other social networks and it takes time to build up your connections and get fill out your profiles.

If you spend and 30 minutes on Linkedin 2-3 times a week you will grow your connections and start to accumulate the all important recommendations.

Twitter is the next site I usually recommend even though most people don’t get it in the beginning. It seems frivolous and a big waste of time to most people. Most people come away after their first visit to the site confused commit to at least 15 minutes a day on Twitter for 1 month you will see the point eventually.

My last must join pick for newbies is You Tube. Join even if you say you will never make videos because trust me on this when you see the statistics you will come around if you want to be successful online.

You tube is owned by Google and if you want to make it to the first page for your keywords, video is the way to go. It is the second most popular search engine and it really is just a video sharing site. If you want to learn how to do anything just go to You Tube and type it into the search box.

Successful businesses leverage this by making videos about the the questions their prospects ask most often. Then when they do a search they find their business!

Would you like more information about joining these top sites plus some recommendations about what your next choices might be?
