    Today, I will Review Kenneth Yu’s Twitter Salvation System .  Twitter totally changed the way we build relationships and market online in 2008.  In fact, I’ve found all of my Joint Venture Partners for Mindset Marketing on Twitter!  It’s my second home!

    Yes, Twitter has become a very viable way to market yourself.  But how do you market on Twitter without becoming spammy or banned?

    For the Twitter Newbie and even those Twitter Spammers there are several things you need to know about using Twitter effectively for online business success!  There are definitely wrong ways to use Twitter as well are right ways to use Twitter.  There is such a thing as social networking etiquette .

    Enter the Twitter Salvation System .

    Kenneth Yu, Twitter’s @emailcopywriter , does a wonderful job and goes way beyond "here’s how to set up a Twitter Profile."  In fact, Kenneth overdelivers in value here.  I actually could not stop watching his videos and taking notes.

    He helps you get into a Twitter marketing mindset and has you take a serious look at many aspects of your how you are presently marketing on Twitter.

    Kenneth makes you take a very serious look at YOURSELF and your ideal prospects by having you answer a series of thought provoking questions.  He walks you through creating the Mindset of a Value-Driven online entrepreneur so that you can begin attracting Twitter business effortlessly.

    One of the critical points he makes is that in our present marketing environment, the Unique Selling Propostion (USP) is no longer revelvant, and is "dead".  Instead Kenneth encourages you to create a Unique Emotional Propostion because we live in an over saturated marketing atmosphere.  A marketer must focus on getting a prospects immediate attention through his/her emotion because people buy based on emotion (not logic), and Kenneth shows you exactly how to do that.

    Kenneth helps you explore and develop your core identity so that you can connect better with your prospects.  The more you know WHO you are, and what your core values are, the easier it is to attract the success you deserve.

    Kenneth Yu is a master of influence, and I am learning tons from his marketing expertise.  Although he calls himself, the "Puppetmaster," he persuades and influences one in an ethical manner.

    I highly recommend his Twitter Salvation System not just for the Twitter Newbie, I also recommend The Twitter Salvation System for the experienced Twitter user as well.

    The more value you can provide on Twitter , and in social media networking in general, the more you will resonate with your online target market and the likelier they are to purchase a product or service when you do promote that product or service.

    Kenneth overdelivers with the Twitter Salvation System , and he also has an affiliate program that rocks too.

    It’s a MUST HAVE if you seriously are ready to ethically attract online business on Twitter .

    Because Kenneth is preparing for his wedding in 22 days, thare Twitter Salvation System will be taken off the market any day.  Take action now in order to become that cash attracting Twitter Rockstar you deserve to be.

    How to Start a Mastermind Group

    November 29, 2008 // No Comments »

    If you are new to masterminding you might be wondering how to start a mastermind group .

    I call myself a "mastermindress" on Twitter .  I love sharing and exchanging ideas with other strategic Internet marketers and social media consultants.  I’m a big collaborator and team player.  When you collaborate or partner with other online marketers, you really get your creative juices flowing and can achieve more with less effort.

    Starting a mastermind group is easy and quite FUN!  Before I show you how to start your own mastermind group, let’s recap and define the term:

    A mastermind group is a group of like-minded people who are helping each other achieve their goals and dreams. The term “mastermind” comes from Napoleon Hill , who authored the classic self-help book “Think and Grow Rich .”

    How to Start Your Mastermind Group

    It all starts with some social media networking on your favorite social networking sites.  I have found tight communities such as those created on Ning to be great for meeting mastermind-quality folks.  However, it all depends on how you like to network and where you are most comfortable.  I love meeting new people on Twitter and have found several mastermind friends and Joint Venture partners on Twitter and via blogging as well!

    My mastermind is a free mastermind group.  There are paid mastermind groups out there, and there are many that are very much worthwhile.  One example is Yaro Starak’s Blog Mastermind .

    I will focus on creating free online mastermind groups - A small group that will serve like your "intimate board of directors."

    Prequalifying Mastermind Group Members

    Connect with others by engaging them in conversation.  Learn about them before you talk about yourself.  You don’t want to come across as very self-centered.

    I recommend the following online mastermind-attracting recipe:

    • Check out the person’s social networking profile, blog or website
    • Leave an encouraging comment on their blog or via direct message/email on the social networking platform
    • Invite to connect (as long as you have very similar interests)
    • Engage them in conversation - ask questions about THEM - don’t go on talking about yourself until they ask you to (people love to talk about themselves - just LISTEN)
    • If you REALLY find common ground and have connected with them, invite them to connect on a more frequent level via mastermind group

    It really is that simple.

    Setting a Mastermind Groups Meeting Schedule

    My mastermind group meets every other week and we usually have a topic to focus conversation around.  We also take turns talking about a particular subject, while the others members chime in and ask questions.

    You can set the rules.

    However, in order to have an effective mastermind group, all members must

    • understand the purpose of the mastermind group
    • understand the VALUE in meeting (every week, every other week)
    • all contribute equally to the group discussion
    • feel like they are free tol communicate about topics of discussion.

    Topics to Discuss with Your Online Mastermind Group

    • Social Media Marketing
    • Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
    • Google Pay Per Click
    • Web Design
    • Information Product Marketing
    • Email Marketing
    • Traffic Conversion
    • Web Copy Tips
    • Whatever you all agree upon!

    Happy Online Masterminding!

    P.S. If you are at the intermediate/advanced level in the above areas, contact me on Twitter!  I am always open to meeting, connecting and collaborating with other passionate, strategic Internet marketers!

    4 Steps to Attract Joint Venture Partners

    November 25, 2008 // No Comments »

    Over the course of 3 months I have been blessed to attract joint venture partners .

    I found it quite exciting that Coppyblogger (Brian Clark) and his partners are presently highlighting some awesome tips that can really create rapid momentum in an Internet marketer’s success in their partnering for profits program.

    Now, I am what most would call an Internet "newbie."  Actually, I’ve only been learning about Internet marketing for 10 months.  I’ve started applying what I know within the last 8 months.  I’ve also only been blogging for a little over 3 months.

    Despite my "newbie status," I find myself effortlessly making significant connections and attracting Joint Venture partnerships with some very experienced Internet marketers.

    Sound shocking to you?

    The reason I have been able to attract a quick and responsive following online is plain and simply because…I have worked more on myself and on my mindset than I have on any of my businesses or projects.

    If you are wanting to attract business partners in whatever it is you do online, then you must become the person you want to attract. This takes a lot of personal and skill set growth.

    The reason I effortlessly attract partners is that I know:

    1. Who I am & what my core values are
    2. I know what my strengths are
    3. I know I am the leader others are looking to partner with
    4. And I know the value I bring to the table

    I.  Core Values and Knowing Who You are

    Ask yourself "What are my core values?"

    I live by the "do unto others" golden rule, and I also believe in the power of encouragement, gratitude and collaboration.

    The Power of Gratitude:

    When you are grateful for the connections you make on a daily basis and grateful for the relationships you are developing, you attract more awesome relationships.  The more you appreciate those around you and everything you currently have, the more will be given unto you.

    Cut complaining out of your daily actions as much as you can and always remain grateful.  Being grateful in and of itself, will allow you to attract joint venture partners.

    The Power of Encouragement:

    I also strongly believe in the power of encouraging others.  Everyone of us needs encouragement and compliments, so whenever I post comments on others’ blogs or social networking profiles the comments are always encouraging and compliment the blogger or social networker.

    Think about it, if someone were to encourage you and compliment you, wouldn’t you want to know more about the person complimenting you?  This is what tends to happen in my online social networking - people check me out because I have brightened their day.

    A thing to note:  Encouragement has to come from the heart and not from being phony.  People can smell B.S. from a mile away.

    The Power of Collaboration:

    They say two heads are better than one.  Certainly the more minds can collaborate the bigger and better the outcome.  I am an avid "masterminder."  That is also why I easily attract partners.  Being a natural team-player helps!

    Know Who You Are:

    In terms of knowing who you truly are….well, that takes going through several life and business experiences (and has nothing to do with age).  The more you experience in life, the more you get to know who you truly are.  The more you trust and believe in yourself and your abilities the more you realize you are someone with the ability to make big things happen.

    II. Know and Focus on Your Strengths

    The biggest mistake most Internet marketers make is focusing on learning skills they have no passion for.  As a new Internet marketer, I choose to focus on the things I am best at.  I also know where I am not skilled.  I don’t try to learn what I would consider my weaknesses, rather I focus on what I do best so that I can connect with others who compliment my skills set.

    For instance, I don’t know all there is to know about web code (especially php and css), and I don’t particularly care to know it all.   For goodness sakes, I just recently learned how to upload files (FTP), and I use XSite Pro to build websites (no code necessary).  Wow am I also grateful for Wordpress!

    Instead of learning skills I have no true passion for learning, I choose to blog, find partners, create products, and build relationships - thereby focusing on all the things I have passions for.  Do you think I’d be wise for me to leave these natural talents by the wayside and start taking php/css courses?

    If I did take courses for web code it would be very counter intuitive.  I wouldn’t have fun at all.  Instead of thinking that I have to learn everything, I choose to find an easy way to do it (i.e. XSite Pro example), and delegate or outsource those things I have no interest in learning.

    Most "newbie" Internet marketers or frustrated online marketers feel they have to learn everything there is to know about Internet marketing, when that’s not really true.  They constantly seeks solutions to their counter productiveness when in fact, most Internet Marketers (newbie or not) self-sabotage because they hold limiting beliefs such as feeling they have to tackle on the Internet by learning skills they really don’t have to learn.

    This is one of 6 myths I speak of in "Mindset Marketing" my new e-book (which will be here on the blog in a few weeks).

    III.  Know you are the leader others are looking to partner with

    You must get to the point where you KNOW you are the leader others are looking to partner with.  This means you must develop confidence in yourself and in your abilities.

    I have not always been super confident.

    The more I have learned about blogging, Internet marketing, and business the more I felt confident.

    Confidence comes with growth and action.

    Knowing you are the leader others are looking for requires you to learn and then take ACTION. The more action you take, the more confident you become in your abilities.

    Within the last 6 years I’ve filled my mind with positive personal growth and marketing information (via books, audio programs, seminars, tele-classes).  My continuous investment in myself has assisted me in becoming super confident in my leadership abilities and skills.

    IV. Know your Value

    Most online marketers don’t see their value very clearly.

    Most of us for that matter believe we are "not good enough," and don’t come out of our comfort zones to find our real value.  Knowing your value requires great personal growth as well.

    The more you learn, the more you grow, the more you grow, the more you feel you can offer the world.

    I am proof that you don’t have to be a super experienced online marketer to create partnerships that create great success.

    Once you know your value, the most important thing of all is to SHARE IT!  BLOG IT! MARKET IT!

    When you start becoming the change you wish to seek in the world you will attract joint venture partners by the droves!

    To Attracting Joint Venture Partnerships!

    Joint Venturing to Online Greatness

    October 15, 2008 // No Comments »

    It’s 10:49 pm EST

    My head is spinning!  Joint venture ideas are in overdrive…and I can’t shut off my thoughts.

    I’m on a super cool and productive information overload high tonight :-)

    While half-watching the 2008 U.S. Presidential debate, I realize more and more that politics and “the economy” are of no consequence or importance to me.  (Even after having been employed on Capitol Hill years ago).

    I am creating my own economy through:

    • online entrepreneurship
    • infopreneurship
    • consulting
    • making significant connections
    • joint venture partnerships
    • investing in myself
    • and constantly learning ways I can improve upon my myself and my marketing

    As I sit in my warm comfortable king-sized hotel bed in Harrisburg, PA at an information product marketing conference, I am digesting three days worth of information marketing system brilliance.  And I am realizing just how EASY it will be for me to implement what I am learning offline AND online while putting my marketing systems on steroids.

    This marketing zen mind state wouldn’t be possible if I were working alone without the help of my Joint venture partners.

    Breakthrough after breakthrough,  I am realizing just how quickly I can accomplish some of the dreams I put on the backburner not too long ago.

    Have you ever noticed that when you surround yourself amongst big thinkers and doers success becomes contagious?

    Make you go, “hmmmmm” ? :-)

    The income we all make is reflective of the top 5 people we associate with.   And I have been super fortunate through my social network to have connected with brilliant people who are assisting me (either by masterminding with me or forming joint venture partnerships) to fill in the gaps I need filled to take me to the next level.

    One of those brilliant individuals is conducting this 4 day workshop on information product marketing now.  I am in marketing heaven right now!

    AND had I not taken the initiative to engage others online in conversation, I would not be here now in the state of marketing zen I am in now making my plan to create a ridiculous economic SELF stimulus plan ! :-)

    Would you allow me to recommend some tips for connecting with others online and forming strategic joint venture partnerships?

    I knew you wouldn’t!  :-)

    Joint Venturing Tips to Online Greatness

    1) Let go of your ego - You can NEVER learn everything there is to know in your niche.  Never allow yourself to believe for a second that you know everything.  Successful entrepreneurs realize the importance of being a perpetual student!  Even the top producers online have mentors they continue to learn from.

    2) There is no competition online

    Have you ever realized great Internet marketers and Personal Development speakers actually SHARE a stage.  Rarely will you have a great event with just one speaker representing his/her niche.  Successful online entrepreneurs realize they are their OWN competition.  Every speaker brings his/her own uniqueness to the marketplace.  Think cooperation instead of competition.

    3) Align yourself with people who know the answers - Masterminding & Live Events

    Create or participate in a mastermind group and attend live events.  When I began my journey to entrepreneurship I thought I could succeed on my own effort.  There were times I couldn’t take it.  Times I lost confidence.  The more you seek help and align yourself with like-minded leaders in your niche, the more you REALLY start to realize your greatness and start to synergistically create success.

    4) Be Genuine

    Making connections online means being genuine and sincere.  Always be genuinely interested in others and their work.  You must build relationships first before approaching anyone for a joint venture partnership proposition.  In brief, keep it real.  Genuinely care and you will outshine the online spammers.

    5) Nurture Your Relationships

    Once you befriend someone online or offline, keep in touch and ask them how they are doing in their projects.  Engage others in conversation.  Don’t wait for people to find you online.  Take the initiative to nurture the new relationships you make and you will develop a solid fanbase and open the door to Joint venture partnerships.

    Time to give the mind a rest and get ready for my last day at my information product marketing training.

    I welcome your comments, and I appreciate you!
