Melody Campbell - Coach Training Course: Blogging the Platform for Your Online Business Promotion

Melody Campbell — Thu, 9 Apr 2009 02:06:07 +0000

This series will be "homework" for me to "shadow" and target Darren's message for coaches. It will be fun to see how I implement it with value and not just a parrot effect. Your participation will make it a worthwhile experiment.

Melody Campbell - Article Marketing for Coaches: The Life Coaches Guide to Article Ideas that Multiply

Melody Campbell — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 05:08:28 +0000

I was just visiting Mari Smith's blog and read her post on Facebook vs. Twitter: What’s On Your Mind, What Are You Doing? http://snurl.com/efxju Loved her suggested questions. Might also make great idea generators for articles: * “What has my attention right now that would bring value to my peeps?” * “What can I share that would uplift someone’s spirits?” * “How can I make someone smile today?” * “What’s a valuable resource I can share?” * “What’s a stimulating (positive) question I could ask?” What do you think? :)

Melody - I'm a new adopter. Just launched my new blog -- all SEO'd and Web 2.0'd up. It's so much more a magnet for my clients -- coaches -- than my membersite. So I definitely advocate the same for coaches. Thanks so much for your take on this. I'm sharing this with my members and putting your blog on my roll.

Paul Duxbury - Online Marketing: How important is blogging to building your coaching business?

Excellent post Melody. Regular blogging is such a great way for coaches to attract new clients - focus on the keywords for your "specialism" and you will be amazed how quickly potential clients will be finding you in the search engines. Give them enough information to make some difference in their lives but want them leaving more. The other thing that I would really encourage every coach to do is to start to build a list of subscribers. Don't let them leave your blog without having the opportunity to connect with you - then when they need you they will be able to find you. Again really great post. Take care Paul

How does one effectively "connect" with an audience to provide a product or service? What is needed in terms of a "design" to get this done? I do not really have time to get to know every person who connects with me on LinkedIn or other networks.

Great tips and interested in hearing more. How do you find out who the top 50 people are and would they really accept unknown invites? Ditto the question of people unintentionally hitting the IDK. Thanks.

Is there anything you can do to remedy an IDK? ... I had a couple of people hit IDK who actually do know me but didn't know what they were doing ... frustrating. What do you think of Linkedin's attempts to become more social and less sterile?

Great insight on why people do these things like connect to lots of people they don't know. I find the LAMBS part especially interesting as well. Seems like a phrase that could become famous.

I have a fairly significant LinkedIn Network, but have never utilized it. The company I work with is a non-profit company. We aren't looking for employees or employers. We would like to know how to use LinkedIn to grow our non-profit membership organization.

Viveka, what might you suggest are best practices for a small business wishing to establish a corporate presence on LinkedIn? What additional LinkedIn or third party applications do you find particularly appealing for showcasing a company on LinkedIn? If I hired a full time technical recruiter, what paid LinkedIn packages should I purchase?

Melody Campbell — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 06:35:29 +0000

Right now I'm enjoying a thorough reading of Chapter 5: Product Development & Cool, Kickin Speaker Marketing Techniques. In Jeff Herring's article marketing teleseminar club, Jeff laid down a challenge to create and sell a mini-guide from an indepth content creation session. I'm up for the challenge and will be launching my first non-coaching product. I'm going to put to practice everything I'm learning from Jeff & Tom (and several others). How about you? Even if you're not coaching yet, you could be launching your first product. Tell me what you're up to...join us over at Coaches Community and see what we're doing with the 100 Day Challenge!

Cathy....I share a wordpress blog with a biz partner. Our biz advisors say this is best for SEO and google activity.
Yet this is not easy for me as our styles are different and interests as well. What do you suggest? We want to do as much as we can with ease, simplicity and low cost in our internet marketing start-up? <abbr>Elizabeth Harrington’s last blog post..Facebook has updated its "Pages"…</abbr>

I have two blogs of my own on WordPress and one I maintain for AllBooks Review.

I have the same question as GoAweigh above, why can't I C&P from Word and not get all of the junk formatting from Word that posts also.

This is one of the clearest descriptions of how a small business owner can used Twitter to increase their profitability via the connections available through social networking. Sounds like a great social networking strategy not just a Twitter strategy.
