The More Personalized the Greater the Effect !!!!

Posted by Donna on December 10, 2009 at 9:41pm

Including photos of yourself, your product, your place of business or your staff will increase the personal effect of the card on the the recipient.And of course sending the cards in your handwriting will do the same.Until now there was no automated system that would allow this level of personalization, but now a new business tool has been introduced that does! There is now a system thatwill send out greeting cards or postcards for you with whatever personalized message you choose, in YOUR handwriting, with one click of the mouse!This amazing service is BOTH a product (greeting cards, postcards, and gifts that can be included) and a system that sends them for you.Multiple cards can be sent at once, so your message can be sent out to your entire list at one time, or whatever subgroups within your list that you designate. This is a huge time saver and allows for true target marketing.You have the option to upload photos, logo, or your business card on to the front or inside of the card to further personalize the message and the recipient's experience.....without addressing envelopes...or preparing and applying labelshunting for stamps .....or going to the post office to mail them!To make it even more personal, you can have a gift card for Starbucks, Home Depot, Barnes & Noble, or other providers included in a card as a special "Thank You" to the recipient!Or even gourmet candy, brownies, or an inspirational book.The combination of a personalized card and gift makes you trulyunforgettable! This may be the most Powerful Relationship Building and Follow-Up Tool available today!Hope you received a great message from this blog....

Blogging for Beginners (New Video Series)

Posted by LaShanda Henry on December 10, 2009 at 7:30am

"It's ALIVE...." [lol] Right now I feel like the guy who created Frankenstein. In between coaching and designing and being mom, I've been working on a new series of video tutorials entitled 'Blogging for Beginners' and its FINALLY FINISHED. This project has been nipping at my neck for months and I've been itching to get it done because practically everybody who sends me an email question wants to know...

How to start a blog
How to build a website they can easily mange themselves (a.k.a.) a blog
How to get Me to design a Blog for them even though they can't afford me (lol)
How to market their blog
How to brand their business
How to promote their business via blogging and social media
And the list goes on...

SO I sat down and hammered out 30+ videos on:

Installing and Setting Up a Wordpress Blog
Marketing Your Blog
Building Your Brand Online Via Your Blog
Social Media Marketing & Blogging
Blogging for Profit [The BIG Favorite]

I could have just written an eBook but video tutorials are so easy to follow and I really wanted to show how just about anybody can use wordpress, change their theme, add plugins, and DO SO MUCH MORE. I think this is my best video series to date and its just for those of you who have been begging me to tell you everything I know about blogging. This is good stuff and it's way too valuable to just throw up online ... so sorry guys, you won't find it on my youtube channel. I just posted it on WebTechGurl and it's $149 ($349 Value). You know me, I always like to discount my stuff so that everybody can afford to get what I have to offer SO here is the deal:

The First 5 People to Grab This Video Series get it for $49: Discount Code: B4B49
The Next 20 People to Grab Blogging for Beginners get it for $99: Discount Code: B4B99

I would love love love to give everyone $49 coupons but the babies gotta eat! (lol) You know how it is. Your speedy purchase will of course be rewarded with a nice savings. Just like with my 2009 Closeout Deal, I can't help but give you a TON of quality information, so I guarantee you my course is worth every penny. Not to mention hundreds of dollars that you save on hiring a designer when you learn how to build a blog for yourself. Oh and one more thing... to completely make sure everyone gets the most out of this series, once you signup, I give you the opportunity to request videos on blogging that might not be already in the series (at no additional cost). Though I can't guarantee that I can get to ALL your requests, I will do what I can. I currently covered the Essential Blogging Concepts that beginners need/should know. Official URL: http://ecourses.webtechgurl.com/blogging-for-beginners/ If you have questions about the course, leave me a comment.

Utilize the Automated Greeting Card Strategy !

Posted by Donna on December 9, 2009 at 6:23pm

Since greeting cards have been proven to be the best means of following up nad building client relationships, why don't more people use them?.It is incovenient and time consuming to drive to the card store and pick out cards. Then thee is addressing the envelope, hunting for astamp, and the time it takes to hand write the message inside the card. And finally the trip to the Post Office to mail it.. The expense. Cards typically cost $3-5 each at a store, plus the cost of gas to drive to the store and the Post Office.We forget. Birthdays and important occasions are hard to keep track of with out a system to help us.Having an AUTOMATED system to print and mail the cards for you is the answer to these problems and to creating an effective follow up and customer retention system.The system also needs to be designed to send out multiple cards at once in order to allow a business owner or professional to mail targeted cards to their entire list at one time, or subgroups of that list. This would be an enormous time saver and enable a business to set up campaigns with different messages to different subgroups all going out in the mail on specified dates, similar to an email auto responder but with much more personal impact than an email.Imagine the effect of integrating the automation of an email drip marketing campaign with the personal touch of sending specific, targeted greeting cards to prospects and clients!About the personal handwriting issue....What if you found an automated system such as the one described above that also sentout your cards in YOUR OWN handwriting with out you having to actually take the time to write out each one individually? Would that be amazing?At this point you may be asking, " Does such a system exist?" Well, we were determined to find one that met all these requirements ( and more) and we have been using it with phenomenal results for several years.

2 Easy Ways for the Working Lady to save over $2,000 in 2010

Posted by Richetta on December 9, 2009 at 6:30am

Coffee/ Specialty DrinksDo you really need a $4.00 cup of Joe every morning from the popular coffee shop (won’t name any names) on average you will be out of roughly $20.00a week/$80.00 a month/$960.00 a year

Eating Out for LunchWhat ever happened to taking leftovers or making a sandwich at home? On average, we spend around $5.50 a day eating out for lunch (most of the time more). On average you will be out of roughly $27.50 a week/$110.00 a month/$1320.00 a year

You do the math, what do you think you could have done with a extra $2000.00 next year. A cruise, weekend getaway, new electronic item you always wanted but couldn’t afford because you were eating and drinking it away!! Let’s get smart and get more out of our hard earned money!!

Just for Entrepreneurs--December 4th, 2009

Posted by Dr. Niama L. J. Williams on December 9, 2009 at 2:26am

Because joy is your birthright ..........December 4th, 2009IN THE RAIN FOREST .....THE WATERFALLNiama Leslie Williams, Ph.D.Copyright September 2009859 wordsfor josephIt is that his faith is an immovable rock, and his satisfaction, his confidence, his pleasure is in me. I look at the stack of bills, the empty bank accounts, the two days of work coming and no money for gas, and I see failure, that all too familiar "What am I doing wrong?" stick drawing bloody streaks from my hide.I wanted to lie down, curl up in him and sob, let him comfort me. Busy with God's inspiration, writing a message for a bright and sunny twenty-six-year-old whose lung transplant gave up after only two years, he is occupied, and I sit silently, turn my back to him, tears rolling down my face but no shuddering, no sound.A momentary respite of comfort as I rinse out a dish in the kitchen, his arms open wide and his neck warm, soft, but we have this one-sided conversation too often and I know the fault lies with me. He evinces a faith and contentment I cannot reach and I turn away aggrieved, saddened, enraged once again with myself, determined to do something different.And that, dear faithful reader, is the key: the decision to do something different.Michelle, my #1 business coach and apostle-in-training, confirmed what all of the new spiritual leaders are saying: the Secret is true; you must focus on what you do want, not on what you don't. I hate that ideology, that spiritual truth for a hot minute because I want to scream to God "reduce the bills; evaporate the debt" and not have the Universe only hear "debt." I want to be able to scream to God in my language, from my desperation, and not have to constantly, consistently work on focusing my mind.Yet Universal Laws are what they are, and I knew without going deep down that the fault lay in my thinking. So I chose to do something different. I lay down, carefully and with set intention, the "What am I doing wrong?" cudgel. I put it in a nice flower box in which had come long-stemmed roses, covered it in the finest, roughest white tissue paper, and sealed that puppy with Death Ray Magic Visible Tape.Death Ray Magic Visible Tape glows bright yellow around whatever it seals off and it seals within an inch of your life. Takes a death ray to remove.I sealed that puppy in his tomb and left him in there squirming, breathless and very uncomfortable.Then I went to my computer, my beloved eMac, and clicked play on that Abundance and Success teleseminar I'd stumbled upon while listening to Raven Blair Davis the other day. Soon Jennifer McLean and her several "Heal Your Life, Heal Your Business" guests were talking and meditating me into a better frame of mind.One of them, a woman whose name I don't remember, had us envision a place of abundance. I was filing as I listened to the teleseminar, but paused, took a deep breath, and let my inner dream-maker take a run. Within a millisecond I was standing by a pool of beautiful light-green water, my abundance water, and the air was cool, the sunshine bright, the vegetation rich and green and plentiful, and the pool with its nearby waterfall babbling peacefully in my ear.The new information that I needed? The glitch represented by my frequency with the cudgel? I dunked a boisterous, clear, bar half-glass into my pool of abundance and tried to drink. The water was like acid on my tongue. The teleseminar was talking about beliefs that no longer fit. I thought, desperate and shocked, I'm choking on my own abundance water? This is information I need!I quickly reviewed possible reasons for my body's rejection of the nourishing green drink and like past events that have truly faded into a more pleasant present, none of them seemed to fit: it had nothing to do with my mother's possible inability to balance a checkbook or my father cheating her out of thousands in the divorce. None of that relevant; no emotional tweaks or pangs as they floated by on the memory. Absolutely no relevance. About then, the teleseminar coached to take a deep breath, and I did.And the something different burst into flower.Suddenly, I saw myself stepping under the waterfall, into its dark cool wetness much as I would step under the showerhead to feel the water pour over my hair, neck, and stream down my back. Suddenly I was stroking my hair and head and arching my back as I do everyday and opening my mouth to gulp my own pure abundance water.As I had suspected, the problem lay with me. The cudgel now wrapped and put away, the waterfall at the ready to be summoned and to soothe.Tomorrow I hear back from a man who has capital and is looking for companies in which to invest. I also meet with a business consultant at Temple's Small Business Development Center.It will be a good day. I've showered in and drunk my pure green loving abundance; my thirst is sated and my mind is fertile.Love and peace,Dr. Niama L. WilliamsBlowing Up Barriers EnterprisesNorristown, PennsylvaniaAS THE HOLIDAYS ARRIVE .....Remember that love is a gift given freely and by choice. As entrepreneurs we exist to satisfy the needs of our clients, and as an intuitive counselor, I am sensitive to my clients for whom the holidays are still problematic.One of the greatest gifts I took away with me from 12-step meetings were the concepts of families of origin and families of choice. For many of us, our families of origin are toxic for our mental and emotional health. I live, quite happily, in the Northeastern region of the United States because at a critical time in my life I needed geographical distance from my family of origin. Such distance was essential if I was to survive.Many call this "doing a geographic," and I am here to tell you, sometimes it works. 3,000 miles of nation gave me the safe distance and perspective to work out who I wanted in my life and to what degree. I was able to think clearly about whom I wanted to interact with and who was dangerous in terms of my mental health.As the holidays arrive, many of us feel "forced" into visiting and spending time with family. You may be a corporate king, but Mama's whining will have you on Priceline.com in a New York minute purchasing a ticket home. You may have worked all year planning to send your father the best Christmas present ever, but one bark from him and you are heading home with your stomach in knots and your holiday season already ruined.Don't do it. Just don't do it.Use the same steel you found in your back to make those cold calls to eventual customers. The same steel you found to call on that fifteenth bank that eventually funded your loan. Listen to that same "Inner Winner" as Mark Victor Hanson and Richard G. Allen call it that told you this, this was the business idea to follow.The holiday season is yours, YOURS, to do with as YOU please. It is a time of renewal and celebration, and if time with your family is not going to be pleasant for you, you have your answer: your holidays need to be spent elsewhere.Take your power back. Do what you need to do.My spiritual transformation began when I started fantasizing about spending the week between Christmas and New Year's in a cabin in the woods, alone, just me and my Maker. I never got to that cabin, but I did develop a case of walking pneumonia so severe the emergency room physician instructed me to go nowhere, and I do mean NOWHERE.One final word: this is not dishonoring your father or your mother. If being in their presence is not healthy for you, you will not be honoring them to spend the holidays in their presence. You will be directly corrupting your personal relationship with God. He knows and sees all, and will see right away the misery and stress building up in your heart.Lying to yourself and your family is not loving the Lord.Enjoy your holiday season. That is why it was created.AboutJUST FOR ENTREPRENEURS is a publication of Blowing Up Barriers Enterprises, founded by Dr. Niama L. Williams and Rev. Joseph W.
