Author Tip #1: If your book is available in e-Book format you should promote that! e-Book readers are surpassing other readers because of the availability & easy access on digital devices such as smart phones and tablets. Make sure you post a direct link to where YOUR e-Book can be purchased & downloaded!

Author Tip #2: There are many book clubs that have Facebook groups and Facebook pages. Do a little research and connect with book clubs that have readers who would be interested in your book. Offer them a free preview chapter!

Author Tip #3 - Ensure that you utilize your Facebook cover image to your advantage by adding a graphic that includes your book cover or the title of your book! When someone visits your personal or author page, they should know right away that you are a published author. Don't make them hunt for this information!

Best regards!

Social Media Marketing can do wonders for your business. But, can we be real? It's A LOT and I mean A LOT of work.

But, there is finally one majorly super awesome way to change all that forever.

Well, you can with CoSchedule | The Social Media Editorial Calendar for Wordpress.

It's the web's best kept secret among solo-webpreneurs when it comes to mastering social media and driving traffic to your site. And, I want to blow the lid off because it will change your life.

 

But don't take my word for it. Here's some details from their site:coschedule

CoSchedule is a drag-and-drop editorial calendar for WordPress that puts your blog posts and social media messages on the same schedule.

Now, WordPress users can save time and grow traffic by scheduling blog posts and social media together on a unified drag-and-drop calendar. It's the content marketing calendar that WordPress is missing.

The best thing about CoSchedule is that as you drag a post from one date to another, your social media messages move with it. This allows bloggers to create a series of messages that promote their blog posts on a rolling schedule.

CoSchedule is only $10/month and integrates with WordPress, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Buffer, and even Google+ Pages.

KEY FEATURES

  • Drag-And-Drop Editorial Calendar
  • Schedule Social Media While You Blog
  • Save Time, Grow Traffic
  • Lightweight WordPress Plugin
  • Automated Social Publishing
  • Simple Team Communication
  • All-In-One Publishing Solution
  • No More WordPress Hacking

How it Works


You can create social media content to post alongside your blog posts in just two steps!

Step #1: Create & Schedule Your Blog PostCoSchedule-WordPressEditPost

Step #2: Create Relevant Social Media Posts Right Inside of Wordpress!


All you have to do is scroll down to add your promo posts. You can post to all of the major social networks (i.e. Facebook, Linked-In, Twitter, G+, etc...). What I really love is that you can post to Facebook and Linked-In groups, you know -the ones you joined and forgot about? No more jumping over to social media dashboards like Hootsuite to schedule your posts. Sweet, right?

CoSchedule-CreateSocialMessage

That's it!

CoSchedule also makes it really simple to manage and edit all of your posts right inside of  your Wordpress dashboard too.

My Walk Through the Field of Flowers

3524425109_83d9b6f03d_b.jpg?width=231

 Last year, I had an opportunity to beta test CoSchedule and 

fell in love with it. In fact, I was able to pre-schedule a year's worth of social media content.

Visibility was not an issue.

I got more clients by doing this, than I ever could have without it.

People were all like, "I see you everywhere." And I was all like, "Yeah, well you know...If you're not marketing your business is dying...wink and smile."

CoSchedule is a editorial calendar plugin for WordPress which is a thousand times better than the Free one I used before.

 

How This Plugin Will Change Your Life


Sync Social Media Posts to Publish alongside your blog posts

Create and pre-schedule social media posts to publish when your post does. Now, there are other tools that have allowed you to auto post your newly published blog post into your social network stream. But, usually all you got was a generic introduction and a link.

Snooze...Boring! Nobody is going to find that interesting enough to click.

CoSchedule allows you to create compelling posts and you can even attach pictures just as you would right on say Facebook.

 

Promote your blog posts beyond their publishing date

The other limitation of these blog hacks is that once your blog posts publish, the social media post would post at the same time. But, that's it. So, only the peeps that were online at that time had an opportunity to see and click through to read your million dollar ideas.  

But, CoSchedule allows you to create unlimited number of posts to promote your blog article as many times and as far in advance as you like. Which means, you increase the chance of your post getting seen by the people who need to see it.

(You could even get all your Christmas promotion deals done in advance...what?)

I hire interns to create & schedule posts for older articles to ensure I constantly have a presence in my various social networks & groups.

Spend more time building relationships

Yes, this does require you to be disciplined enough to sit down and pre-shedule your posts in advance. But, when you do, you can spend time communicating in real time with potential customers and strategic partners. Because, at the end of the day, it's always more valuable when people feel like you aren't always trying to get them to read or buy your stuff.

At least now, you don't have to get all scrambled and burned out trying to figure out what to post and how to engage with your network.

 

If you are struggling to keep up with your social media presence and also need to get traffic to your blog, this plugin is a MUST HAVE.

I had been being becoming annoyed with a lot of my female clients lately and I didn't know why. Checking out this Forbes post made it clear to me why I was feeling the way I was feeling. It was because to me they were seeming to constantly be apologizing. 

Yes the "I'm Sorry" syndrome. I would imagine it comes from our cultures emphasis on being polite. "You don't want to be rude"; "You don't want to be an inconvience"; "Don't be a burden"; "Speak Only When Spoken To." All of these concepts would lead women to be more apologetic then men. 







In her article:

Why Are Women Always Apologizing


 Ruchika Tulshyan mentions the Confidence Gap. It seems that :"The commercial also comes at a time when there’s much talk about a confidence gap that holds women back from succeeding at work. Indeed, over-apologizing could be feeding into this. In an Atlantic article “The Confidence Gap,” the authors state: “A lack of confidence informs a number of familiar female habits. Take the penchant many women have for assuming the blame when things go wrong, while crediting circumstance—or other people—for their successes. (Men seem to do the opposite.)” One way women tend to assume blame? By over-apologizing." 




Hence the source of my annoyance. It's a knee jerk reaction to when you are blaming someone for something. Let me put it this way, when some does something to cause you to blaming them did they do something that pleases you or annoys you?




This is an AH HA moment for me. I've been running around all this time feeling annoyed and didn't see what was really triggering it.  I like the commercial. The only thing is don't go overboard in the opposite direction and I think that's what the last woman did when she snatches the blanket.




The objective is not to apologize for things you have no overtly apparent reason to be sorry for. You're new to marketing your going to make mistakes. You don't have to apologize for making a boo boo. Just correct it if you can or not repeat it in the future.




I know one thing, I will not say I'm sorry for Apologizing being short of patience at time. Forgive me. Let me know what your thoughts are.

Click here if you would like to learn how to find joy and balance in your life.

Today, too many women are wearing multiple hats. Wearing these many hats gives the appearance that we are SUPER WOMEN, when in fact, we are crying on the inside. Our minds and schedules belong to others. Yes, it is okay to take care of others; however, we must take time out for ourselves.

It is not being selfish, if you spend 10 minutes or more on yourself. Who is going to take care of you? In order to help others, we must be healthy and strong. One of the most important things is learning to say no. The second most important thing we must learn is to delegate.

  • Learn how to become organized
  • Learn how to become stress-free
  • Learn how to live your purpose
  • Learn how to Say NO!!!

Join us for the upcoming Finding Joy and Balance In Your Life Telesummit, a free event hosted as part of the Spiritual Body Building TeleSummit series created by Renee Wiggins, RD. LD.

Event includes 10 speakers over the course of 10 days starting on June 23, 2014. Sign up via the link below: http://resultsbyrenee.com/find-balance/

Ruby Dee

As we acknowledge the life of Ruby Dee, I encourage you to visit IMDB (Internet Movie Database) and review the career Ms Dee crafted.  You will find some favorite roles that she portrayed, and you will probably be surprised by some others that she played.

Some of the most memorable roles for me include mother to Flipper and Gator in “Jungle Fever”, and in Mother Sister in “Do the Right Thing”.  She played these roles effortlessly seeming not to be acting at all.  One of her earlier roles that I found interesting was Rae Robinson in “The Jackie Robinson Story” in 1950.

Her artistic abilities are without question, but what should also be acknowledged is the advocacy she and her husband, Ossie Davis, provided for education.  She and Mr. Davis championed the need for quality education for children, particularly economically disadvantaged children.  They believed that all children are important; that all children deserve to be educated; and that the only way that this will happen is if we, the adults in the room, take up the cause.  In 1990, I had the opportunity to interview Ms Dee and Mr. Davis and hear, first hand, their passion for learning.  You can see a portion of their discussion at SoulVisionTV.com.  Their advocacy, no doubt, has made a difference in many places, and in many lives; and it still drives those who desire to make a difference in the lives of the future generations.

Lessons- Dr. Maya Angelou

The passing of Dr. Maya Angelou has generated feelings of sadness for many.  The personal revelation that she is no longer physically among us will make some feel forlorn.  But, there also exists a joy, not in her death, but in her life.  There are those whose continued existence is bolstered by some inspiration she gave them.  When they were down and out, some word from Dr. Angelou lifted them; gave them strength; brought them joy.  So while sadness may be expected, the joy comes from knowing that we were allowed to be in the same space in time and learn from Dr. Angelou’s greatness.

As Dr. Angelou’s life is being recalled it is clear that hers was a life that mattered.  A multi-talented soul; she could dance, she could sing, she could act, but her gift from the Master was to give us words that would inspire.  Her writings spoke to many, giving them reason to keep moving forward.  That was Dr. Angelou’s purpose and she understood it well.

 

The tributes all recount the significance of Dr. Angelou’s life, but what is wonderful is that Dr. Angelou had the opportunity to hear all of these accolades while she lived.  From dignitaries to everyday people, Dr. Angelou was constantly told and shown that she made a difference.  That what she had given the world mattered.  And this is so wonderful because Dr. Angelou was given her flowers while she could still smell them.  The accolades did not suddenly come in death.  She heard it all before she shut her eyes.

 

And that may be the lesson here.  If someone matters in your life then it is best to let them know that while they live rather than express it in their eulogy.  Dr. Angelou passed away clearly aware that she mattered to many.  The eulogies will not offer any new insights as to why her life was significant.  That was all done were while she lived.  The good doctor Maya Angelou; leaving us with yet another lesson.

The #1 Unforgivable Sin Most Women Commit In A Relationship...

What if I were to tell you that there's an unforgivable sin
almost every woman commits around a man?

What if I were to tell you that hundreds of millions of women do
this EVERYDAY with their man?

What if I further told you that most women who do this have no idea
that they're committing a horrible sin?

Are you wondering if you do it too? Before I talk about this sin,
I'd like to share a story with you...

It's a story about Cindy & Matt. They have been in a
relationship for the last 2 years. They always had a great
connection, it was like they were made for each other but lately
things aren't the same.

Cindy is very worried...She can sense that Matt is a lot more
"inside his head" lately, he isn't being as open as
he used to be. She misses the comfort of the days when she could
talk about something & genuinely connect with him.

But now she is living a life of quite desperation because
Matt's behavior is confusing her, She is feeling a lot more out
of control, she is spending her days in constant fear &
anxiety, she wants to know what's going on but lack of
communication from Matt is only making things worse.

She is a lot more miserable now and misses the closeness but it
seems like Matt doesn't really care.
She is wondering if it's something she has said or done which
is causing this? She can sense this huge gap in understanding &
a giant invisible wall between herself and Matt.

But there is an even bigger fear which is freaking her out, she
fears that maybe Matt is thinking of breaking up with her. She
fears that maybe he is doing things behind her back & has
someone else in his life.

The very thought of imagining Matt with another woman makes her
feel this ugly feeling in her stomach, her heart starts to pound
faster and it makes her feel literally paralyzed.

Have you ever had such a feeling around your man? Have you ever
felt that awful feeling in your gut when you didn't know what
was going on inside his head and you feared that maybe he was
thinking of leaving you?

Well maybe you have faced a similar situation or maybe you
haven't... but I bet you can relate to that nasty feeling that
surfaces when you don't understand your man.

Hundreds of millions of women go through this every single day. But
do you know why this happens? It's because most women commit
the number 1 unforgivable sin in a relationship which completely
ruins their chances...Want to know what this sin is?

Here it is and I want you to listen carefully to this...The number
1 unforgivable relationship sin is - Not Knowing How The Male Mind
Works.

I bet you're wondering - huh? This isn't really a sin. Yes
it is and let me tell you why. It's a sin because not
understanding how the male mind works will always lead you into
relationship issues and problems, you will always find yourself
confused and frustrated.

And it's unforgivable because it can completely ruin a happy
relationship and often times can lead to a painful divorce or a
breakup which could have been avoided. Not understanding the male
psychology can send you on emotional "tailspins" for days
on end, and you will feel out of control as a result. It is without
a shadow of doubt, THE BIGGEST MISTAKE ANY WOMAN CAN MAKE
WITH A MAN.

This can be the devastating kiss-of-death to your relationship
unless you do something about it right now. Follow this link right
now & watch the video on the next page till the very late
minute...
