• Product Launch Plan Moment of Clarity

    November 16, 2008 // No Comments »

    This past week I’ve been wrapping up my product launch plan for - "Mindset Marketing: How to Stop Self-Sabotaging Your Success and Gain Massive Momentum in Your Online Business" (with an affiliate program by the way) - smile.  The product launch experience inspired a big moment of clarity for me, and I’m sure once you put yourself in my shoes, you’ll find the moral of this story.

    My goal was to have launched the e-book for my good friend Anthony Whym’s Blog Talk Radio show this past Saturday, but I ran into some challenges.  I surely could have devised a more tactful product launch plan, but hey - it’s all GOOD!  It’s only my first product launch (of many).  And now there is more time for us to get the word out.    :-)

    Listen to the replay of my conversation with Anthony on Blog Talk Radio .

    You will learn even more intimate details about me (like early inspirations, where I grew up, my experience on Capitol Hill as well as more on my e-book "Mindset Marketing."

    So, after being interviewed and speaking of "Mindset Marketing" with Anthony Whyms I gained even further clarity in terms of how I want to use this blog to inspire, educate and provide value to other online entrepreneurs who may be struggling to find their "online and personal productivity groove."

    So here is where I’d like to take the energy level here on this blog:

    New Tagline for Dali Burgado:

    Mindset Marketing: The Crossroads of Millionaire Mindset and Strategic Internet Marketing

    Voila!  So what do you think about my new tagline?  Post a comment here and let me know!

    If you’ve been around for a while here, you know I tend to talk a lot about mindset, and it’s importance in online, and virtually any kind of, success.  My present tagline "being productive online - is more of an effect of "mindset marketing" …

    So there, I have new clarity and vision for this blog!

    What does this mean to you?

    This just goes to show you all that we don’t have to be perfect.

    The most important aspect of creating success online (and offline) is making minor course adjustments along the way.

    Although I didn’t have a clear product launch plan, something positive still came about.

    Have you ever heard that an airplane is off course 80-90% of the time, and its pilot must continually make those minor course corrections in order for the plane to get from point A to point B.  Think of yourself as an online air pilot.

    Never get frustrated when you realize you "could have" done something better.  Simply appreciate where you are, accept the situation, and make the minor course adjustment and keep on a movin’!

    So, I hope you enjoy the new direction!!  It’s gonna be so much FUN!

    Now…My "online relationship building" posts about "Twitter" and other online social networking tips will go on my new blog at Secrets to Web Success .   There’s not much there now, but very soon you will also start seeming some super duper valuable content about online social networking, search engine optimization, online relationship building - anything Internet success-related will all be there!  That’s gonna be a blast too, especially because I have partnered up with some awesome friends in social media, Internet, and Network Marketing to bring you tremendous value there, so make sure you stay in the loop here and on via my tweets on Twitter .

    AND please VOTE on my new tagline.  Is it a go??

    I appreciate you!

    Your partner in Online Success,

    Dali Burgado

    P.S.

    Mindset Marketing will be available any day now!  I’m getting some raving reviews on it too! Woo hoo.

    Creating Clarity in Blogging

    November 12, 2008 // No Comments »

    Hey All,

    In order to create clarity sometimes it’s necessary to connect with leaders who are where you’d like to be.

    Last Friday I connected with Michael Martine of Remarkablogger for a blogging strategy session.  Michael is a seasoned blogger and blogging consultant.   The blog strategy session was phenomenal to say the least :-)  Michael spent over an hour with me on Skype providing honest critical feedback about this blog you are reading.

    He was super helpful in teaching me some cool SEO techniques as well as in helping me develop a clearer vision for this blog.

    To be honest, when I started this blog, I didn’t do enough keyword research to ensure I had nabbed the best niche and profitable main keywords. I just went with my gut feeling and began to blog about the things I was passionate about.

    Even though I am sometimes on page 2 of Google for one of my main keywords, “online productivity, ” I find that no one is looking for the personal productivity material I have here.  Rather they are looking for internet applications to help save time.  It wouldn’t matter if I were on page 1 of Google because I wouldn’t provide the solution THEY would be looking for.  So, I the lesson here is that I have to define my niche more clearly.

    Michael helped me realize I should narrow my niche even further.

    I could become angry and mope, but I choose to look at it as a moment of clarity.  At least I took action.  I now realize I can give up on that keyword phrase and move on.

    What’s more, you seem to have found me somehow anyway! :-)

    Many of you follow me on Twitter, Facebook, My Blog Log or Blog Catalog.  I have already begun to develop a loyal following in you.  Had I hemmed and hawed about keyword research before beginning this blog I probably wouldn’t even have this blog or connected with you.

    I say that to tell you this…taking any kind of action in your online endeavors will always create clarity.  Imperfect action is better than no action at all.

    It is the way you perceive the outcome of your actions that will determine whether or not you can move on with excitement or disappointment.

    As an online entrepreneur, you must look at every outcome as a learning lesson and move on.

    So, within the next few weeks I’ll be making some good changes to the blog.  My focus will be more on successful mindset development and creative marketing.

    My social media marketing and blogging content will go on another blog.  I am working on with some really neat leaders in social networking and Internet marketing at Secrets to Web Success.  It is also where you will be able to find a range of blogging and social networking consulting services too.

    In addition, I’ll be unveiling a pretty powerful e-book on developing the mindset of a master marketer within the next few days that will be a cornerstone product here at daliburgado.com.  Make sure to check your tweets or your RSS reader for that announcement!

    In the meantime, let me know what else you would like to hear about on this blog. This blog means nothing without your input!

    I appreciate you!
