How to Stand Out From Your Competitors In Social Media for Dance Studios

Posted by Ashani Mfuko on May 27, 2010 at 4:14pm

For Day 6 in our social media success challenge for dance studios, I’d like to emphasize the importance of using all different types of media to promote your dance studio. With millions of dance studios,
dance companies, and dance-related businesses out there, you may wonder,

“How can I stand out amongst my competitors?”

The answer to that question is: Video

Videos allow you to show the world who you are, what you (and your business) are all about, and gives people an opportunity to get to know you on a more personal level. Even in today’s time of social media, e-mail, texting, etc., people still appreciate being able to see the face of the person who’s articles they’re reading, who they’re
conversing with through Facebook, Twitter, etc., and connect with them in a tangible way. This also helps to personalize your dance studio or brand in a way that will attract people to you and your business.

Check out a video that I did where I talk about my career as a professional dancer/dance instructor in New York City. It has some clips of my choreography at a recent performance, as well as testimonials
from some of my students about my dance classes.

Feel free to leave a comment and tell me what you think about the video, and also how it
feels to put a face with the author of this article.

Using Your Passion to Start a Business - 7 Ways Women Can

Posted by Clarence Coggins on April 1, 2010 at 1:00pm

7 Ways Women Can Use Their Passions to Start a Business
By AnnaLaura Brown

Starting a business as a woman can be challenging yet rewarding. Many women really struggle to decide how to get started making money with their own profitable business. By finding and embracing their passions women can succeed and thrive. Here are some ways to use your passions to get started with your own business.

1. Make a list of all of your passions, hobbies and interests. In order to get started with your business, you first need to have written down on paper all of the things that you enjoy doing and are passionate about. You will use this list to finalize your business plan and to brainstorm about your options.

2. Evaluate your list and write down notes about what you could possibly do with each passion to create a business. For example, if you enjoy crafts and sewing, you could teach classes about how to make your items or you could open a boutique in which to sell your creations.

3. Do some research. Go online and explore business options based on your list of passions. Take note of any interesting websites or any people you find who are already making money with the same thing. If possible take your research a step further and contact a few people who are already doing what you are considering doing. Attempt to find out as much as you can about what it takes to get started.

4. Survey your friends, family, neighbors and acquaintances. Ask them if you were to start a business based on a passion or two that you have chosen, would they support you? Do they have any advice for you?

5. Depending upon the money and materials needed, you may want to test your business idea by either creating samples of your product or by creating a simple website explaining your business, products and services. You want to avoid taking it too far without being committed to going into business so how much you do really depends upon the resources needed to do this. Show your website or samples to as many people as possible and get some feedback on how profitable you think your business will be.

6. Get started. Even if you are hesitant, once you have done your homework and there is reasonable evidence that your passion can be turned into a business, then it's time to take the plunge and just do it. Make sure to be official by getting a state business license and setting up a separate checking account. You also want business cards to be one of if not your first business purchase.

7. Go forward in your business with just as much passion as you have with the product or service you have chosen. Make sure that everyone you know is aware that you have started a business. Set aside blocks to time to work on your business and stay with it for the long-term. When you are passionate about what you are doing, you can be very successful as long as you are motivated and you are willing to do what it takes to succeed.

Using your passions to start and run a successful business as a woman will make your choice to become self-employed much easier. Take the time to find a way to learn how to turn your passions into money and you will be surprised at how much more profitable and pleasant your business will be.

Single Mom Of Three Start Her Own Business Against Some Tough Odds

Posted by Audrey Bell-Kearney on February 26, 2010 at 8:58pm

Maplewood, NJ February 2010-On Tuesday February 9, 2010 Ms. Boss Academy whichis a collaboration between Ms. Boss International and My SistahzKeeper held a small ceremony for Zoey Wiggins who was the first personto graduate from the pilot entrepreneurship program. Zoey attends MySistahz Keeper in Jersey
City, New Jersey through the AWEP/CWEP program for women who are onpublic assistance. There were 13other women who also attended the program and who were enrolled in Ms.Boss Academy, but only Zoeycompleted the 8 week business start-up program. Thewomen who are also on public assistance dropped out of theentrepreneurship program for a variety of reasons. The program walkedZoey through the basics of starting a business right up to creating apresence on the Internet bysetting up a website.

By some standards some may view the entrepreneurship program as a failure because only oneperson graduated,but to Audrey Bell-Kearney who is the CEO of Ms. Boss International andthe creator of the Ms. Boss Academy program she views that one graduateas a success. She states that you have to understand the population thatyou are working with. The goal here is tohelp these women learn how to become self-sufficient so that publicassistance is no longer needed. By helping one person learn how to startand run their own business successfully, this will open updoors of employment for others. Small businesses fuel the economy andright not that economy needs some fuel with thenational unemployment rate around 10%. Kiwan Fitch who is the ExecutiveDirector of My Sistahz Keeper has gone a step further by turning one ofthe office spaces inside the My SistahzKeepers headquarters into a small business incubator for the graduatesof Ms.Boss Academy. Kiwan who is one of the co-founders of My Sistahz Keeper anon-profit organization understandsthat small businesses need to be nurtured so that they can grow. This iswhyshe has opened up another door for these women offering them the spaceso that they can stay connectedto positive people who have goals and dreams that they want to see cometrue. To keep the graduates connected there will be ongoing mentoringfrom Audrey and also from Stephanie Wilson who is theProgram Director at My Sistahz Keeper. Zoey who has only been anentrepreneur for about two months already understandfrom going through the Ms. Boss Academy program how important mentorsare that is why she has stepped up to be amentor with GEN (Gurls Empowerment Network) another program offered byMySistazh Keeper for teenage girls.

The next Ms. Boss Academy is scheduled to start on March 2, 2010. Audrey who created thecurriculum andfacilitates the program hopes that more women take advantage of theprogram this time, but if they don’t as long as we can graduate at leastone the program is still a success.

To find out more aboutthe Ms. Boss Academy contact Audrey at 888-229-1238 or email her at Audrey@msboss.net. For moreinformation about the programs thatare offered by My Sistazh Keeper call 201-706-2107 or email Kiwan atKFitch@MySistahzKeeper.org.

Celebrating Life

Posted by Audrey Bell-Kearney on January 7, 2010 at 7:26pm

Hello Ladies. I just want to let you know that I am in a great mood this year, not that I wasn't last year, but I'm in a better mood this year. The reason I am in such great mood is because I decided after realizing that I did not celebrate life that I wanted to celebrate life. So I am giving away some really nice gifts this year to the women of this network to help you celebrate life. No I'm not trying to sell you anything I just want you to join me in celebrating your life. There is one catch though, you have to post a video to the site about how you intend on celebrating life. Don't be camera shy or feel like you need a professional video. You can use your web cam or a flip whatever you want. You can shoot from kitchen or your living room. After I review the videos I will be choosing one winner each month. Each winner should submit another video letting us know how they enjoyed their gift of celebrating life. Just note that the gifts won't be t-shirts, or mouse pads or coffee mugs, but they will be real gifts that will allow you to take time out for yourself. So come on submit your video and celebrate life with me. Submit videos to http://www.MsBoss.netp.s. I also have a FREE CD titled I Live Life On My Terms. To take advantage of this go to http://www.Ilivelifeonmyterms.That's it for now.Make It A Great Day!Audrey

Why do we feel its our responsibility to love him?

Posted by Linda Royal-Herman on December 6, 2009 at 3:02pm

I woke up this morning thinking about abuse and how the victim always feels responsible. Why is that so? My younger cousin was in this situation a few years back and she always felt she had to love her abuser because he said no one else did. That's why she stayed and endured the abuse- mental, verbal, and physical. I wrote a story loosely based off her experience as a young mother who survived domestic violence and it's titled "Silent Cries." "Silent Cries" is the first story in the uplifting and inspiring anthology, Somebody Prayed for Me.Today, my cousin is in college and working full time! She's a single mother and I'm so proud of her for moving forward with her life. To assist her, I set up a website where books can be ordered and the profit goes to her, toward her college tuition and raising her son. I hope you'll be compelled to purchase Somebody Prayed for Me from her website. To ensure a Christmas delivery, however, please select the option to order from Borders, Barnes & Noble, or Amazon. The links are listed on the website's homepage. Please share her website and story with parents, teens, and any one who may be in a violent relationship. There is life after abuse and by the grace of God, my cousin has proved that.The website is www.ShakestaWest.webs.com. While you're there, please read an excerpt from "Silent Cries" and be sure to sign the guest book. Your support means a LOT To me and even more to her.Have a blessed Sunday and make every day count.Lindahttp://www.lindarherman.org/

Frustrated by your social networking?

Posted by Lisa Mullins on June 2, 2009 at 10:30pm

It has been said that social networking can be a great resource for small business owners. After all, you socialize, talk about what you do and promoteyour products all in the same venue. But that’s the frustrating part.Especially, when you are using social networking to beef up your business andcreate a following. Knowing when to say what, where to say it and who to say itto, it is a process and it does take time to implement. Every day.That’s why I created Social Networking Done 4 You.If you are looking for innovative social networking techniques and resources,take a look at the articles we have available.

Want to keep your tribe up to date with your happenings but unlike Kenny in “My Boys”, you don’t want to tweet each time you are in the rest room and instead want to tweet real information about your business, take a look at our Microblogging Done 4 You Packages.

If you, like Brenden on “My Boys” (can you tell it’s one of my favorite shows) don’t believe all the hype about Facebook, but you want to give it a try anyway and don’t want to lose yourself in it, like Brenden did, take a look at our Online Social Networking Done 4 You Package.

If you have a website and the only person who ever see it is your brother, and your mother-in-law, on a good day but, you want real traffic, people who are actually interested in what you are talking about, then take a look at our Social Bookmarking Done 4 You Package.

3 Ways to Build Powerful Business Relationships Online!

Posted by Trina Newby on June 18, 2009 at 1:46pm

Just as the Power of the Internet took the world by storm, so will the Power of Social Networking for Women!Social Networks allow women to build alliances, connect with women they normally would not have the opportunity to meet and share information about their services and products.Here are 3 ways to start building solid relationships with businesswomen online:1. Brand yourself as an expert. Stick with a particular niche or subject as you build your online reputation. This not only helps you with SEO, but it also helps people to trust in what you say, because they see you posting about the same subject or industry.2. Think Value. Always think about the value in the content you post to boards and blogs. How can the information you post be used right away? Whatever you post, let be of value to the reader.3. Develop Online Trust. Make sure that whatever you say you will provide or whatever resources you give are valid. There's nothing like clicking on a link or connecting with someone only to not have them respond. It breaks trust and believe me they'll comment about it on your wall, message board or blog.Let's Build a Trusting Online Relationship!Trina NewbyWomen About Biz Click here for a FREE Basic Membership to Women About Biz!

What Is Cash Gifting?

Posted by Gee Renee on May 26, 2009 at 12:00pm

Many of my friends are inquiring about Cash Gifting, and what it really is. To try and address this as succinctly as I can, let me first tell you what Cash Gifting is NOT.

Cash Gifting as it is known today is:

NOT an investment club,
NOT a business,
NOT a pyramid,
NOT a scam,
NOT MLM,
NOT illegal,
NOT a company or corporation,
NOT a commercial enterprise of any kind.

Yet, through the act of freely giving and freely receiving Cash Gifts, many are receiving via overnight courier as much as $10,000 weekly.

With Cash Gifting there are:
NO investments,
NO paychecks,
NO products or services to sell,
NO tapes or manuals to buy,
NO one MAKES or EARNS any money.
There is NO profit making benefit of any kind associated with this activity.

Are you intrigued? I know I was when I first learned about this amazing Cash generating system. If you would like to learn more about this activity that has financially blessed so many others; visit: www.ILeverageCash.com or www.Luke638Works.info. Leave me your contact information, and I will be in contact with you immediately.

Prosperity is Waiting…Go Get It,
