Yes! I said it and You can take it to the Bank! If you're a man reading this at some point I'll write a post on Supermen, but today it's all about the Superwomen!

I was going through the net and I came across a site on which my blog was associated with photography! What! this just made me laugh because it just reminded me of how much people can misconstrue, what you do and who you are!

I obviously love great images because they lend to your writing and in most cases I choose images associated to the topic I'm writing about, other times I see an image I like and write a post in relation to it, the former is normally the case and just in case anyone's wondering my interest is not in photography.

I really hate labels or the idea that you can only be one thing because I believe that there are many dimensions to a person, but if you want to label me call me Superwoman! Yes I said it and I'm Flying through Life without wings!
If I have to put a label on it more than anything else this blog is about Self Belief and living your best life. This simply means that you follow your intuition, natural talents and see the Almighty at work. Additionally it's my creative expression.

I'm just not moved or inspired to write about who's sleeping with the other, or who's currently got beef with whoever! I'm just not that bothered (I know it makes good reading!) but I do care about all the women out there who are doing wonderful things in and with their lives, with or without recognition!

I call them Superwomen because life knocks them down again and again in so many ways, shapes and forms but they just carry on carrying on, often times they have no one to complain to but the Almighty.

They posses super powers of endurance and tenacity to deal with and accept whatever life deals them! normally with grace and perseverance. They engage in battles big and small!, They Fly without Wings!

These Superwomen are; Mothers, Sisters, Aunties, Cousins, Friends, Grandmothers, Women you meet along the way. Women you see from afar.

Everyone knows a Superwoman and knows exactly what I'm talking about!

If You come across a Superwoman, show her some, love and respect!

To All the Superwomen out there, here's to Flying in High Heels! More Grease to Your Elbows!

I am excited about my newest creation "Soap Petals".  These petals can be used as regular hand soap or can be sprinkled in the bath tub once it is filled with water. A great moisturizer and safe for all skin types.  Why not get a box for yourself?  Go to http://bit.ly/NjNhA8  to get yours.

One Thing You Want? 2012 Mid Year Resolutions
It's 6 months into 2012 and 4th of July is just hours away, what is one thing you want for your business come December? Before I say anymore, let me say this ... Don't take this question lightly. There is power in the words that we speak. What you claim today will be your destiny for tomorrow, so take a minute from the busy todos of today and declare your vision.

I'll start...
By December 2012 I want to plug at least 5 wholes in my business. You know what wholes are right? Those little things you keep saying you are going to do (that can really make an impact on your day to day), but somehow they keep getting pushed to the bottom of your list of priorities. One of my biggest accomplishments last year was creating SistaSense in Print Magazine (an idea I always though about). This year I dared to dream even bigger and host my first 3 day workshop, She Rocks the Web.

Think about what you dare to do by December. Think it, speak it, write it, remember it, and make it happen! I've got a few more months to make magic happen. What's one thing you want?

No more owies!  This unscented and ultra diaper cream is a must have.  Paraben, SLS and Fragrance FREE!  The unscented diaper cream will help prevent irritation and chapping with natural Cocoa Butter and Aloe Vera Extract.  It soothes, protects and nourishes baby's delicate skin.  Very mild but yet effective and goes on silky smooth.  Go to http://bit.ly/MP5VCj for an immediate purchase so you will be prepared for these long and hot summer months.  It comes in a 2oz travel size container.

One of our NEWEST products is Lip Gloss.  A great moisturizer and good for all skin types.  It has a little shimmer and a hint of color.  I offer Cherry Blast and Cotton Candy.  Both have great flavor.  Goes on smooth and is long lasting.  Can be carried in your purse for whenever you need a touch up.  Go to http://bit.ly/LTyoc2 to get your Lip Gloss so that your lips will always be moisturized.

Stop The Violence - Changing The Mindset Of Humanity
On 09-09-2012 ministers from around the country and all around around the world will change the mindset of humanity with the most important sermon of their careers as they preach the word "Stop The Violence" taken from the lyrics of the International Stop the Violence theme song and sharing with their congregation from the theological point of view as well as relating stories from the Bible. The spirit of GOD will fill churches worldwide like never before and when the people go back to into their communities and spread the message about "Stop The Violence" the spirit of non-violence will move through society and change the lives of millions of people. I want all ministers to video their sermon and mail it to KCPI T.V. 524 Brice Street, Baton, Rouge, Louisiana 70802 where they will be aired from September 9th through October 9th leading up to the National Crime Symposium which will be held at the New Orleans Marriot Hotel. So join us in this life changing experience. Also go to You Tube type in Chili Most Fight For Your Rights or click on to the link below and check out the video. It's the theme song for the upcoming Presidential Election. It's a must that everybody especially our youth see this video then twitter and blog all of their friends to plant the seed about VOTING because the best way to "Fight For Your Rights" is to VOTE. Check my website at http://www.chilimostmusic.com I can be reached at (323) 983-1135. Thanks. PEACE. 

Okay, so you've built or have paid someone to build this beautiful website but you are about the only visitor to the website.  Not good.  So here’s the deal.  Website visitors don’t appear out of nowhere. You have to drive people to your website and not just any people either.  You want to drive people to your website who are your prospective customers; the people who want, need and can afford your goods and services.  So here are three things you must do:

1. Ensure Search Engine Optimization (SEO).  You must make sure that the pages of your website contain key words and key phrases that your target market will most likely use to find your business.  There are a lot of free tools that will help you decide what those key words and phrases are.  Here are a couple of those tools:  

Submit Express

Google Adwords

I suggest devoting individual pages to key words and key phrases.  For example, if you offer business services such as bookkeeping and virtual assistance to home-based and small business, you should devote pages containing articles and other helpful information for both of these services.  Just be sure you don’t overdo it because prominent search engines like Google will accuse your site of stuffing key words and you don’t want that.  Here’s a nifty free tool to help you with keyword density:  Live Keyword Analysis.

2. Get Inbound Links to Your Website.  The goal is to get quality websites to link back to your website.  This isn’t easy but it is critically necessary.  Here are some ways to do it:  

• Make sure you offer good, quality and helpful content to your website.  If people like what they see and find your content helpful, they’ll link to your website or refer others.

• Write blog posts on other people’s blogs.  You know those Ning sites you joined?  You have the ability to create blog posts on those.  What about those great articles you find on Forbes Magazine or Black Enterprise Magazine, post a comment that adds useful information and provide a link back to your website.  You have the ability to post a note on Facebook on your business page; provide a link back to your website within the Facebook note. Be a guest blogger for someone or just post meaningful content to other people's blogs that your target market reads.

• Submit your website to free directories such as:  Localeze.com (search for your business; if it’s listed, click on “Add a listing” link),Superpages.com (look in upper right-hand corner for a powder blue button – “Add Your Free Listing”).

3. Add Meta and Title Tags to Your Website.  Search engines look at Meta tags to tell what the page’s content is about.  Make sure Meta tags are put on every single page of your website – time consuming but darn well worth it.  If someone built your website for you, ask them to insert Meta and title tags on each and every page.  This is one of the services which should be included in the price they charged to build your website.  If you built your website yourself, you can add the tags yourself; the editor you used will have an area for you to add Meta and title tags.  

Please feel free to use this article in your newsletter, on your website or blog.  However, the following byline must be included in its entirety and the article must not be edited in any form and must be presented exactly as it appears here.

Hello BBWO!

I hope you are having a wonderful week. A few quick things to share with you today. As you know BBWO is designed to connect women entrepreneurs from across the globe.

Many of these women are looking for service professionals to work with and I often get their requests for VAs, Planners, Designers, etc., which has lead to the creation of the new Services Area, where the BBWO Community can post and share unique offerings.

As a new feature, be one of the first 100 women to post your service today: http://services.mybbwo.net And also note that you can post your Business Profile via our growing Profiles directory: http://profiles.mybbwo.net

Latest profile by Andrea Foy author of "In the Still of the Night". These new areas are extensions of BBWO that I hope will make it easier for you and others to find exactly what you are looking for.

In the coming week expect to see the 'STORE' area too! This will be where BBWO members can finally showcase their products in one place!

More to come. Till then have a great one!

LaShanda

Many women are proud to be muti-taskers. We rise early in the morning and go back to bed late at night. And being tired and  maybe  a little dragging though out the day seems normal. we have learned to live with it.

Suppose you don't have to live with it? Suppose  you can have the emery to run up the stairs even after 11 pm?

No it does not come in a bottle and no need to pull  out your sneakers. It is the easy thing to do because you are doing it...well  kinda.

Your home is 10 times more polluted then outside and the great news you have complete control to change it.

Here is a  tips that you can start today to get back that youthful energy and get even more done in a day

.

1. Eliminate Bottled water: The  EWG ( Environmental Working Group ) states

Unlike tap water, where consumers are provided with test results every year, the bottled water industry is not required to disclose the results of any contaminant testing that it conducts.

Unlike public water utilities, bottled water companies are not required to notify their customers of the occurrence of contaminants in the water, or, in most states, to tell their customers where the water comes from, how and if it is purified, and if it is merely bottled tap water

I just read an article titled "Caffeinated Energy Drinks-A Growing Problem" and boy did I get some insight!

According to the authors Reissig, Strain and Griffiths, "…the caffeine content from 1 can of energy drink could range from 50mg to 505mg and the content regulations and health warnings on the cans are the most lax in the US."

This means you may or may not REALLY know how much caffeine is in that can of your favorite energy drink! :(

The knowledge was surprising to me because there are so many energy drinks out there that people consume, sometimes daily. I remember while attending and working at a local university, I would see an energy drink booth set up for various events on campus. These events could range from Job Fairs to Exam Week activities. We could ALWAYS depend on getting FREE give-a-ways of energy drinks.

Since they were FREE guess how many people took only 1, not that many :(

I drank an energy drink once. I stayed up for many hours and then there was that CRASH! I was sleepy and groggy most of the next day. It was not a good feeling.

Luckily I am not an energy drink fanatic but if you are I do know of a product that is an all NATURAL super concentrate of ionic trace minerals, essential vitamins, fruits and herbs. The product is called NatraBoost and it will change the way you drink energy drinks.

You won't have to worry about high concentrates of caffeine and you will not have to wonder what it is you are putting in your body. The information is readily available.

Don't wait, find out right now about NatraBoost and see all the nutritional value NatraBoost has compared to that energy drink you have been drinking all this time.

This is my insight for you and I look forward to hearing how you became a NatraBoost fanatic.

Business Tip

There are many amazing facts about YTB that need to be communicated to the world. However, because our business is so wonderfully complex with multiple ways to earn money, it can be a little confusing as to what you can say while still being compliant. Let’s discuss a few ways to protect yourself and YTB!

1. YTB offers two separate and amazing income opportunities. (We do not offer a business opportunity.) When speaking to potential customers, remember that our opportunities are completely unique from one another. While you can take advantage of one or both opportunities, it’s important to present each option clearly and separately, allowing your prospect to make the best decision possible about which is a good fit for them.
2. Remember, our Rep Opportunity is available free of charge and you never have to purchase the YTB Travel Program or any other product to earn compensation from it. In other words, do not say, “Buy the Travel Program and earn a $10,000 Bonus!” The two are not related. RTAs do not earn bonuses, and Reps do not earn travel commissions.
3. Be authentic in building your own personal brand for your YTB business. While we want you to show your YTB pride, please do not display our corporate logos in a way that can be misleading. If another Rep or RTA finds your blog or social media profile, make sure that it is obvious you are not the corporate office. Be sure to include things such as Independent Rep or RTA, utilize the “Independent Rep” logo in your back office under the “Your YTB” tab, and always include a disclaimer such as the following: “The views and opinions expressed here are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of YTB.”
4. Income claims are never a good idea. The nature of our business is that you can literally earn as much income as you want. It’s really up to you and how hard you are willing to work. Not everyone is willing to do that, so don’t personally promise that they’ll make millions with YTB. That’s not up to you or to us. Present the opportunity to make income, and never personally guarantee it. (The exception to this is our $3,600 Guarantee Program, which is a company program and ok to discuss with your prospect.)
5. Product testimonials can be tricky; if you’re using them there are a few things you should know. First, don’t make outrageous claims or stretch the truth. Be open and honest about your personal experience and do not claim that this is a typical result for potential consumers. Second, be sure to disclose your affiliation with YTB when giving a testimonial.

These are just a few ways to protect yourself as a member of YTB and present a clearer opportunity to your prospects. Not only will your potential prospects appreciate your honesty, but they’ll be able to get off to a fast start with a clearer understanding of YTB.

What other questions do you have when it comes to compliance? Let us know in the comments!

Thanks, Bob and Shirley

I think you’re doing it right. I wouldn’t mix your Rep and RTA businesses. Those are separate opportunities that need to be marketed separately. The key is going to be content. Keep posting content that will engage people, ask questions, and post content that people will want to share. Particularly in travel, several of our vendors have Facebook pages with videos and photos you can reshare on your page. With non-profit fundraising in particular, Carnival has a great fundraising program that I doubt many people know about. How about putting together a group to raise funds for the church youth group? Maybe a marriage encounter with the pastor? Then, ask them to share photos of their trip and recap how much money was raised for the youth group. Get testimonialsand post them on your page letting everyone know you are their travel professional of choice. Another way to help grow your page, make sure that you’re telling your clients about it. When you meet newly engaged couples, tell them to connect on your Facebook page. (If you have some current clients with honeymoon registries, ask them for an engagement picture to announce on your page and tell people about their registry.) There are so many things that you can do. Get creative. Don’t be afraid to start conversations. One more, if you know any area RTAswho have pages, ask them to help you get the conversation going by responding on your page, and then you do the same for them. Sometimes if you can just get a few of your friends talking, the conversation will follow from potential customers. I hope this helps you Gordon! Just remember to have fun!”
