Beyonce surprised the world with dropping her CD on Friday 13th. She told her fans and her fans told their friends. She sold over 800,000 CD in one day.
That’s the kind of word of mouth you want for your writing or your business.
I’m on Beyonce mailing list, so I received her email about the CD, but I never got a chance to read it because her fans jumped on the social media and they went wild with talking about how great the CD and accompanying videos were.
Where you one of those who downloaded the CD without hearing one song?
I can say that I didn’t download the music, only because it’s on itune and I don’t do itune.
However I did hear the music this week and I will be getting a copy of the CD once it comes to where I buy my music.
Here’s what you can learn from Beyonce:
1. Have a fan base. A fan base are who buy your books. This is your gold. You want to know who is buying your books and you want to know how to get in touch with them.
If you don’t have a fan base, start yours today.
2. Word of mouth is still KING. Beyonce couldn’t have paid for all the free advertisement she received from her fans and their friends.
Talk about your book, have your friends and fans talk about your book.
3. Social media can help with promotion. Beyonce fans were on social medias. All of them. Talking about her CD, taking pictures, writing FB status, sending tweets. They were everywhere, talking about her CD.
Are you on social media? Don’t miss out on this free promotion place. Find the places your readers are and sign up and engage with your readers.
4. Don’t miss a sale. My only complaint about Beyonce tactics is she sold the CD only on itunes for the day. She moved to other places later. However she lost a lot of sales because everyone is not on itunes.
Don’t miss out on sales because you don’t sell your book in all the right places that the readers are. Choosing one place to focus your sales, means you are losing sales from readers who buy from other places.
What do you learn from Beyonce?

As a soap artisian and the owner of a natural skincare business I created from home, it's interesting to go out onto the streets and hear what people have to say about their skincare products. Did you know that most people are afraid of natural skincare? They walk by at the Farmers Markets and look at you like you have poison in your hands. But, what you really have is life in your hands. Yes, I say life. Think of all the reports you've heard online and on the news about chemicals and preservatives in your products. Now, think of all the different skin conditions people are coming up with. Does it make any sense to you that one would use a product that irritates their skin, let it get bad enough to send them to a dermatologist or practitioner for Meds and then once it clears up, go back to using their same old products? What kind of sense does that make? Absolutely no sense at all. It amazings me how they do this again and again, year after year. Until it is so out of control, they have no choice buy to invest in healthy skin. That's where the handmade soap comes in.
Let me take the label ingredients off of a bar of soap I have at home that has a great smell, but don't do the job I need it to do, and then I will give you ALL the ingredients of my Natural Handmade Soap. It's call Truth in Labeling.
Tone' is the soap I'm speaking of as Commericial:
Ingredients: Soap ( Sodium Cocoate, Sodium Palm Kernealate, Sodium Palmate, Sodium Tallowate, Water (Agua) Talc, Coconut Acid, Palm Acid, Tallow Acid, PEG-12, Fragrance ( ParFum) Sunflowerseedamidoprople ethlydimonium ethosulfate9 and Z) PEG-9 Glycerin Sorbitol, Soduium Choloride, Theobroma Cacaoz(Cocoa) Seed Butter, Propylene Glycol ( and) Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice ( and) Theobroma Cacao(Cocoa) Extract (and) Carica Payapa) Fruit Extract, Decyl Glucoside, Pentasodium Pentetate, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Titanium Dioxide......
Geez, it was hard enough just trying to type the words... Not to mention that the stuff is all chemical and preservatives that make it last for years. Why are you buy a bar of detergent. Why don't you just use Dish Washing liquid?
My Ingredients for EVERY bar of soap I make:
Olive Oil, Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Cottonseed Oil, LYE, WATER ( Could be Aloe Vera Juice, Fruit Juice, Milk(s), but mainly it's purified water. The ONLY item that makes my soaps less than 100% PURE NATURAL is the fragrance Oil I use. When I use Pure Essential Oils, they are then considered 100 % all natural Soaps. The use of earth clays, and natural food grade colors, and/or herbs are also all natural.
That's it folks.... Nothing else.... JUST PLAIN SOAP.
The best you can buy for your skin, and it feels so good on your skin, doesn't leave soap scum and you notice the difference after your first experience.

As the world recognizes the passing of Nelson Mandela, the tributes narrate how this former South African president’s life changed the world. Superlatives such as courageous, brave, passionate, compassionate, intelligent, and inspirational have all been used to describe Nelson Mandela’s life, but there was one statement that caught my attention. One tribute suggested that “there will never be another Nelson Mandela”. And that is true; there never will be because that is how the Creator planned it.
When Nelson Mandela was born into his earthly existence, the plan of what his life would become was already in place. Though challenged with obstacles that would crumble most, Mandela was given a strength that allowed him to endure. The impact he had on the world for his 95 years is exactly what the Creator planned. The same can be said for others whose presence on this earth has inspired us. There will only be one Ali; one Martin Luther King; one Rosa Parks, one Desmond Tutu, one Gandhi. We can learn from their writings. We can admire their courage. We can emulate their behaviors, but the reality is that these people only pass this way once. They are placed here to serve their purpose.
And so, the passing of President Mandela should prompt each if us to seek the purpose that the Creator has planned for us. Your purpose may not have world-wide ramifications, but it might make your family better. It might make your neighborhood or community better. What you do may inspire others, young or old, to be all that they can be. Connect with the Creator to find your purpose; then rely on the strength given to you by the Creator to fulfill your purpose, because there will never be another you.

I swear this is the greatest thing ever.
Okay maybe ever is an overstatement, but hear me out.
Every now and again I come across a tool that excites me.
Inspires me.
Reminds me of WHY I'm in business.
Every now and again, I discover something that makes me want to sit down and write a post without thinking about keywords, or H1, H2, H3 tags or any of the other technical aspects to make a post rank higher in the search engines.
Every now and then, I see something SO GOOD I just have to share.
And that's how I'm feeling right now.
I've been doing a lot of research on how I can convert the traffic I get from various sources ( free and paid) to leads and then to actual buyers.
One quick glace and the online marketing world and you'll find that's the number on thing on everyone's mind.
Well...
I discovered something last night that I believe will bring me (and you) one step closer to the goal.
Before I tell you about my discovery, the first think you need to understand about how to get more leads is that the lead itself isn't what you're after.
See, most marketers get so caught up in getting the actual lead itself that they fool themselves into believing they've crossed the finish line as soon as it comes through their autoresponder.
Your goal as a marketer is not to get the lead.
Your job as a marketer is to get the sale.
That means you want leads that will actually buy something from you.
And in order to go from lead to prospect to buyer you have to take your suspect through a high converting funnel.
What I discovered was a simplistic, yet genius way to target and capture subscribers at the initial point of decision...
THE LEAD CAPTURE PAGE
Sounds simple enough, but trust me... everyone doesn't get this.
Now just think, what if you could geographically target your capture pages with just the click of a button? Meaning anyone, anywhere would see your capture page customized to their exact location?
Don't you think the chances of them opting in would increase?
Of course it would

What Cause Are You Serving? Do You Have A Mission? Changing the Justice System In North America.
By Clarence Coggins
When you wake up in the morning what do you think about? Paying the bills? What your are going to do at work today? What's going to be for lunch? How the children are going to do in school this day?
All of these things are great things to think about. My question to you is what is your driving passion? I was listening to a CD this morning as I was driving into work. The speaker shared that one of his success mentor suggested that to have overwhelming success one should marry their why to the cause of the business enterprise.
In essence one should make thier why in the business their mission work in life. That is a pretty bold statement when you think about it. It requires that the mission of your enterprise be something greater than just move product. It must involve changing lives.
One of the reasons I had returned to network marketing was because of something I read in Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T. Havr Eker. In the book, he admited that at one time he really didn't know how rich people thought. He had some ideas that supplied by his outside environment (tv, friends, parents, and other source). But, he didn't have intimate knowledge of how thought.
In my case, when I looked at my experience, I was in the same boat. I had a bunch of theories and ideas, but no real knowledge about what it meant to be rich or wealthy. So my first goal was to start associating with people who were better off than me to get to those who had the information I was seeking.
Not a very lofty why. As time went on and I started understanding the mission of the organization I had joined my thinking changed. For too long people have been locked out by pricing from their God Given rights. Helping people to get access to those rights was the mission of the company I was with and it has become my mission work.
Many people do their mission work when they get off work or on weekend. The super success have managed to make their enterprise their mission work. So what is your mission?
To learn more about my mission you can visit http://opp.yournubizsolutions.com . I'd love to see your comments.
