Hi Online-Marketing, Last night I was at the mall, wrapping gifts as a part of a fundraising project for the local “teens safe rides” program I volunteer with in my community. After a couple of hours we slowed down and I checked my email. Imagine my surprise to find that my hosting account with 100+ sites had been suspended! I took a deep breath, excused myself from the group, and emailed the three people who help me with this type of thing in my business. Then I returned to our gift wrapping table for another two hours. We raised about three hundred dollars for this charity and I had fun with the teens and adults during the process. It’s not what happens to you in life, it’s how you react and move forward. I got home around ten and made sure the work was in progress to restore my hundred plus sites. They are all up now and I’m making a plan to make sure they stay that way. I have surrounded myself with people much smarter and more experienced than myself in the areas where I need help. Asking for help and having mentors is a sign of strength, not weakness. So, if you missed or were unable to visit sites I mentioned yesterday, here they are once again: This weekend I also worked on an upcoming course, Really Simple Authority Blogging, one that I’ll be launching in January. As part of that I refreshed a blog post from 2008 that I estimate has earned me more than 10K in revenue and continues to serve me well. It’s at: Time Management and the eBook Writer My new authority blogging training will teach you how to do the same with any writing you have at your disposal on most any topic imaginable. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This Week’s Special ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This week you may join Really Simple Affiliate Marketing for 25% off (only $149) at: reallySimpleAffiliateMarketing.com (Code AFFILIATESROCK) The discount code will be good through Wednesday, so do not hesitate. New sessions are coming soon, and you are included for two full years of training. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ask Me Anything ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tomorrow’s open call will be at 6 pm ET. Yes, we’ll discuss site security, as well as how the mentors you surround yourself with can make a huge difference in your life. The page is ready for your questions and comments now at: … {…continue reading…}

Hi Online-Marketing, My day has been a productive one, with working on the outline of my new book and spending time on a new online course I’ll teach in January on “authority blogging.” I have two book recommendations for you that are on sale at Amazon today: “Pre-Suasion: A Revolutionary Way to Influence and Persuade” by Robert Cialdini: connieLoves.me/Presuasion And “Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die” by brothers Chip and Dan Heath connieLoves.me/MadeToStick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Through Sunday night I have Really Simple Membership Sites on sale for $69 with code WEEKEND.

Hi Online-Marketing, When I first left my old life behind and came online as an entrepreneur I used to say that “every day is Saturday.” But I realized that Saturday can be a busy day filled with errands and catching up with the week before. So somewhere along the line I changed my thinking and Thursday became my favorite day. Productive, not hurried, and part of the online lifestyle. As we move closer to the end of 2017 there is so much to be thankful for. At the top of my list is the firefighters from seven states who continue to battle our wildfires here in southern California. The winds are back today and tomorrow and we are praying no more homes will be lost. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mentoring for 2018 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yesterday I hosted an open call to share my thoughts, experience, and success with the concept of having mentors in your life.

Hi Online-Marketing, Yesterday I told you about my quest to connect with four hundred more people on LinkedIn. I added two hundred more since November 1st and another 188 by last night. How did my numbers go up so quickly? A few things… I wrote down my goal and set my intention, and then I reached out to my community and asked for help. In combination, you can move mountains, achieve your biggest goals, and change your life. I know this because I have done it over and over during this past decade to my own amazement. Michael Hyatt has helped me to stretch even further the last few years, and he can help you to do this as well. I highly recommend that you attend the free webinar he’s hosting this week.

Hi Online-Marketing, First, the secret… Write down your goals! On November 1st I set a goal to increase my LinkedIn following to four thousand first level connections by the end of the year. I had just hit 3600 and thought this goal was valuable to my business growth. Today I was able to get to 3800, which means I’ve reached half of my goal. With only three weeks left in 2017, will I make it to four thousand? Yes, because I have now learned a few more secrets about reaching my goals every time once I have written them down. And I learned most of this from Michael Hyatt’s training on goal-setting strategies and how to have your Best Year Ever. Michael gave me clarity with reaching my financial, productivity, and also my personal goals and that’s why I’ll be back with him for 2018 as well. I highly recommend you attend the free webinar he’s hosting this week. Whether you get involved with his goal-setting course or not, this webinar will be extremely helpful. It’s about 5 Blunders that could Shipwreck Your Goals in 2018, and how to best avoid them. I’ll be viewing on Friday, although he’s hosting one on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday as well.

Hi Online-Marketing, Since the very beginning back in 2006, I have treated my online business like a real business. This means evaluating every piece of it in terms of assets and liabilities, and rewriting my goals to achieve more assets than liabilities. These are your assets: 1) Your information products and online courses Since 2015 I have created almost thirty new products and online courses, including my “Really Simple” series, niche specific products, and more. 2) Your writing, in all formats My blog posts lead to my Focus Guides, and some of these lead to my books. Being a multiple bestselling author is simply a matter of writing every day and repurposing your content. 3) Your membership sites and communities online Building a “tribe” from day one will enable you to achieve your goals. Think of this as a partnership with those who follow and learn from you. These are your liabilities: 1) Your outdated products and courses I like to retire mine within three years of creating them so that the information is fresh and current. If you still have old trainings and products out there, take them down and create something new. 2) An outdated coaching model, where you trade time for money Instead, create a program where your clients may connect with each other as you serve the group. Yes, one on one calls are a part of this, but you are creating something that makes more sense as a business owner and facilitator. I keep this part of my business to about 10-15% of my annual income. 3) Social Media I love social media, but be careful how you approach this. Too many people are there every day, sharing every bit of their personal lives. This detracts from you as an entrepreneur in a huge way. Instead, make sure your pages and profiles let people know you are in business, and allow them to read your blog posts and opt in to your list to see what’s for sale. I hope these tips are helpful and would love to know what you’re doing to increase your assets and decrease your liabilities as an entrepreneur. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ends At Midnight! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Today’s special from Coach Glue is about membership sites.

Hi Online-Marketing, I’ve told you about my elderly family member who suffered a brain injury in a car accident six weeks ago, and here is an update… In attempting to find the right present for a treasured friend, I came upon something called “book clocks.” It turns out my family member has always worked with his hands, and now he spends time each day perfecting his new craft. Last night we went to a Rotary Club “progressive dinner”, and at each house he talked to another person who wanted him to make a clock out of their favorite book. This new venture has changed his life, and will also bring some income that will make him feel valued. He is getting better and this is exactly the boost that he needed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ends At Midnight! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Today’s special offer from Coach Glue is content for all of your business needs.
