Allow us to introduce you to our Coach, Stephen Pierce, the Optimizer himself.

Last weekend, after speaking at the TIMME Conference, we wound up extending our travels and booked a round trip ticket to Ann Arbor, Michigan to strategize for an entire weekend 1-on-1 with our Coach, Stephen Pierce to optimize our business and strategize our upcoming book launch for our new book, “Secrets of Online Persuasion“.

Despite the fact that we had all been traveling non-stop, with barely any sleep, our minds continued to be energized with creative ideas to optimize our business. We had a conversation about this uncanny energy we were all experiencing, and credited this ability to think creatively, brainstorm and “out of the box thinking” to his new OptiMINDzation DVD series.

We set some of the wildest goals that weekend, completely confident they’re all achievable and reachable before the end of 2007. There’s a lot more to it, and I’ll cover it in my next post. Feel free to Visit the OptiMINDzation site to learn more.

By far, this was one of the most intense, strategic planning sessions I’ve ever been involved in; and it left us with so much energy that we enjoyed zero jet lag, and hit the ground running when we returned to the RPM Success Offices this week in sunny Hawaii.

Before I ask you about your optimization strategies and goals for 2007, here’s a glimpse into our strategic planning weekend with Stephen Pierce. (A little behind the scenes footage…)

(I’m the one behind the camera taking clandestine pictures.)

(uh-oh! I think they noticed the flash!)

(Crapola! — that’s an Italian word for dog-doo-doo– Now they’re on guard, protecting the secrets on the board. Ok, OKAY, I’ll put the camera away. Sheesh! What’s a girl gotta’ do to share some secrets with her readers to encourage them to optimize their business?!)

Alright, now that you got a glimpse into the behind the scenes action with Stephen Pierce and the RPM Success Team, let’s get YOU thinking about what you’ll do for your mind, your business, and your life in 2007.

If your wildest dreams were to come true in 2007, and we had the ability to grant them for you… what would they be?

And what are you planning to do to give yourself the edge in your business to optimize it, and plan for MEGA-Success this year?

Oh - and before you ask where I am in all of this… here are the women of the mastermind group:

Alicia Pierce with me. (HINT: She’s the real secret behind Stephen’s success AND the one who keeps us fully supplied with brain food to keep us all goin’!)

Now:
Share your dreams and goals in the comment section below… afterall… ya’ never know whose reading… and who might have the power to grant your wildest dream for your business.

Do it now and put your goal in motion!

Next Stop for Coaches Deb & JP: Las Vegas to speak at the RPM Summit, the weekend of October 6th - 8th. This is the conference where internet marketers will be coming to get exclusive training in Web Publishing, Social Networking and our favorite topic: Creating Authority Sites for maximum influence!

This is our chance to connect with our West Coast friends, clients and readers. It’s always a blast seeing people face-to-face, especially when you’re hidden on the most remote island chain in the world most of the time.

Here’s our after-hours conference get together with new friends we met at last week’s TIMME Conference:

We’ll be sharing the stage with the top marketing and persuasion gurus, including:

Our persuasive friend Dave Lakhani, author of “Persuasion - The Art of Getting What You Want“, and the man who wrote the incredible foreword to our book,

Mike Filsaime, creator of the famous Butterfly Marketing campaigns that people couldn’t stop raving about at the recent TIMME (The Internet Marketer’s Main Event) Conference he co-hosted that we just spoke at in Baltimore, Maryland.

Greg Ceasar, from 1st Advantage Solutions, who provides superior Web site design and hosting for the top internet marketers and who also happens to be a very good whirrly ball player. (We won’t say anything about Lazer Tag though… he’s still perfecting his game.)

Here’s Greg and Deborah, after a competitive game of Lazer Tag at a recent event at the Thinkubator hosted by Stephen Pierce:

Once you watch the 30-second video, and enter the site, you’ll be able to see the amazing line up of speakers as well as the topics that will be taught at the RPM Summit.

Now, while all these speakers are amazing, I must admit… I’m MOST looking forward to Friday night - and not just because that’s when we’ll be speaking, but because there will be RPM Race Night with a trip to a club with a racing theme, great bar, and racing simulators. (If you’ve ever attended a Stephen Pierce Conference with me at the ultra-cool Thinkubator in Ann Arbor, you’ll know why these are my favorite conference activities, and quite frankly, the main motivation that compelled us to agree to speak at the RPM Summit event next weekend.)

Shhh! Just don’t tell Donna Fox or Paulie who invited us to speak at the RPM Summit after all the buzz we got from our Secrets to Online Persuasion Presentation last weekend. And for those of you who came up to tell us you regretted missing us at the TIMME Conference, now’s your chance to catch the re-run! And to implement what we show you BEFORE our book is released next month in bookstores everywhere, when your competitors will see the secrets we reveal in the book.

Here’s Donna Fox and Paulie Sabol with Coach Deborah & John-Paul Micek at last weekend’s TIMME Conference:

Oh! Before I forget… when you enter the RPM Summit site, you’ll receive the 21-page “Authoritative Guide To Building Profitable Authority Sites“.

Ready for a weekend of fun and learning? If your answer is YES, we’d love to see you next weekend in Vegas.

Ya’ never know WHAT you’ll win! Especially when you attend one of our presentations. (We’re really into giving REWARDS for people who take ACTION!)

Picture this …

A delivery truck pulls up to your doorstep, a man gets out of the truck and hands you your first box of books, then within 60 days of that delivery - that book becomes an international best-seller and sells over 60,000 copies.

I’m about to tell you how you can make that happen for yourself, but first I want you to ask yourself this question…

What would be different in your life if you were a bestselling author?

Think about that for a moment because I’m about to give you private access to a Bestseller Starter Kit – normally $197 – absolutely free to the first 1000 people who grab it this week at:

www.Automatic-Bestseller.com

It explains the same system my friend used to turn his book idea into a bestseller within 60 days… without a list, without any experience, and without any clue where to begin…

His name is Christopher Guerriero, and he’s now an international best selling author, who’s about to spill the beans and let you in on all the insider secrets that helped him sell more than 319,000 copies of his first book in less than a year.

Chris started with no book writing or marketing experience, yet built a system that helped him sell more books in 60 days than most authors sell in a lifetime – and since then he and his clients have used that exact system to build an army of book empires.

Since you know our new book, “Secrets of Online Persuasion,”
will be released by Ingram next month, we thought we’d share the
system that we’re using to complement our book authoring with blogs to generate buzz that our friend Chris gave us access to in order to help us reach Best Seller Status over the next few months.

And now you can do the same!

I watched his video several times, and listened to the audios during our recent plane ride to Baltimore for The Internet Marketing Main Event - taking such voracious notes, I almost missed the meal that came around!

This kit details a system that will boost your credibility, your income, and make you a bestselling author in the process.

I’m not going to waste your time building this man up in your eyes because I’m not the only one who Christopher is allowing to give his Starter Kit away for free, and it’s only available to the first 1000 people who grab a copy.

I can’t believe he is giving this kit away… so we wanted to make sure we shared this link with our friends on our list right away so they could get it free this week.

But you have to get a copy of the ‘Automatic Bestseller Starter Kit’ today – before he closes up this link – which I’m told will be any day now.

Go on over to: www.Automatic-Bestseller.com

God-speed to your book authoring success!

NOTE: Be sure to let us know when you take advantage of his offer by posting a comment below, because we have a few surprise GIFTS for our clients and blog readers who seize the day and grab this private access video for free.

Deborah and John-Paul Micek

P.S. If you have any friends who might be interested in
becoming an author – please do them a favor and send
them this link to this blog post so they can get a copy of the starter kit
before it’s too late. I’ve been given permission to share this link
to all my friends, family and clients. So feel free to link to this post and forward to yours.

New Media marketing is the most efficient way to reach your target audience online. That includes podcasting, tagging, social networking, and blogging for business, just to name a few. Most businesses are missing the boat and falling behind on the experience curve. And even many of the smartest online marketers experimenting with these tools are still getting it wrong because they’re missing important strategic component.

Where your prospects and customers are online

On average people spend three-quarters of their time online devouring content and communicating — exactly where a New Media Marketing strategy positions you! A recent study by Online Publishers Association shows that 77% of online users are spending their time in these key areas.

It only makes sense to market where your prospects and customers are, right? So why are so many hard working business owners and marketers getting it wrong?

The key to marketing with New Media

Business owners and marketers have begun to experiment with inserting ads into blogs, podcasts, and RSS feeds. More aggressive marketers have been executing viral campaigns using New Media tools. And some are even stepping into the New Media Marketplace by starting to use blogs for business.

Now while business blogging and these other tactics all have a place, they are just that — tactics. They are one-way actions that insert “interruption” or mass media style of marketing into New Media channels.

This is where business owners and marketers are making the mistake. As we reveal in (more…)

Deb and I just wrapped up a whirlwind 3-day speaking event in Baltimore called The Internet Marketing Main Event where we spoke on New Media marketing. It was a terrific sold out event with over 300 online and off-line business owners and marketers in the audience. Paulie Sabol, Mike Filsaime, and Donna Fox did an awesome job with everything from the food to the clockwork-like precision of the entire event.

We’ve had a terrific time meeting dozens of new friends and partners from around the world, some of whom you’ll be hearing about very soon as we move closer to the launch of our book Secrets Of Online Persuasion.

One of the most exciting things about this weekend’s event was being ranked #1 by the audience out of the dozen speakers. We tied with our good friend and mentor, Stephen Pierce (which is just fine with us. )

We were honored to be ranked above such great speakers as speaking giant John Childers, Dave Lakhani best-selling author of “Persuasion: The Art of Getting What You Want”, and NY Times best-selling author Joel Comm (”The Adsense Code”.)

And we were totally thrilled with the reviews of our upcoming book Secrets Of Online Persuasion, which Ingram and Morgan James publishing had graciously given us pre-release copies of to start building buzz.

What’s even more impressive is that the New Media Marketing and business blogging presentation we gave was the buzz of the entire weekend. Just like the off-line business world, even in the internet marketing world is JUST catching wind of the practicality, ease, and exponential marketing power of blogs and New Media. The first tidal wave of transformation has swept over the marketplace, but the second wave is cresting setting you up for the perfect “ride”.

So grab your marketing surfboard and get ready for the ride of your life! There are some incredible things rolling in here at Advanced Business Blogging over the next few months!

We’re off to take the water taxi from Fells Point across the inner harbor to the landmark made historical in the war of 1812, Fort McHenry.

Enjoy!

Recently while a business blogging discussion on a niche social networking site for business owners I was asked this question. Here’s the question on why blog for business, and my answer with the top three reasons. BTW, I did not make up this person’s nickname, it’s for real…

Business Blogging Question:

Hey All,

So I have to ask you something… where are you wanting to go with blogs? Are you trying to increase revenues/sales etc, or just trying to meet friends on the internet to fill time? BIG difference here.

Think about it… Do you have the time and will the time you spend doing this interfere with other more profitable ways to apply your time?…

Dragginbutt

The Business Coaches Answer:

Not sure if “Dragginbutt” is being serious or not here, but the comments he/she shared are common misconceptions that business people have about blogging for business in particular, and marketing with New Media in general. Blogs may have originated with political pundits and spread by teenagers, but business people have a ton marketing benefits they can gain.

The power of blogging for business is multi-faceted and practical for even the smallest business owner — IF they’re interested in:

1. Top search engine rankings

(We regularly maintain top 20 rankings for dozens of targeted keywords with ease. Students and business coaching clients of ours are matching and exceeding those SEO results regularly.)

2. Steady increases in highly targeted traffic

(A steady growth of 3,000 visitors per month is the low side of traffic increases when business blogging is done strategically. We’ve had coaching clients boost traffic as much as 3,000 visitors in 24-hours.)

3. A growing prospect list

(The money is in the list! Even on blogs with a very tight niche we have daily averages of 7-8 new subscribers per day. )

And that’s just for starters. Branding, buzz, positioning as an expert, and more are benefits that come with a solid business blogging strategy.

New Media Marketing and search engine optimization both have costs to get results. You’re either spending time or money, or you’re not getting new business. For most small business owners, business blogging is the simplest, most cost effective, and the most effective method for gaining top search engine positions and generating targeted traffic. The only alternatives are to hire “professionals” at $3,00 - $10,000+ per month.

And as far as time to do things yourself — you don’t have to! Check out this article series that clears up this misconception about blogging for business, and many others: Blogging For Business: Clearing the Muddy Waters.

Today we’re going to remove a major stumbling block for busy business owners and sales professionals. In this ongoing multi-part series with Filter #5 will help clear the muddied waters of business blogging even further. Since Part One we’ve been sharing how well-intentioned blogging evangelists have let their habits and protocols become “rules of the road.” Rules directed not just at full or part-time bloggers, but for any serious business person looking to market or otherwise grow their business using blogs. And that’s dangerous.

But today’s filter will expose and remove the biggest thing scaring business owners and sales professionals away from blogging…

Blogging for business, Filter #5: Consistency trumps frequency

When stepping into the New Media Marketplace with a business blog as a starting point, one of the biggest, most frequent stumbling blocks we hear about from business people is related to advice on posting frequency. Many blog evangelists advocate posting several times per week, and some even actively preach creating new posts daily or multiple times per day.

Hearing this type of advice, most utilitarian (and very busy) business people turn away in disappointment thinking that they can’t join in and benefit from marketing with the New Media. But nothing could be further from the truth. If you’ve ever wondered if blogging for your business would be worth it if you can’t find the time to personally blog five or six times per week — there’s good news! You don’t have to!

You can bump your frequency up to accelerate results, and for initial momentum that’s often a good strategy. That gives you a rapid in search engine rankings and the accompanying increase in traffic. But in most niches, you don’t need to maintain a massive barrage of fresh content on an ongoing basis.

And while I’m one the topic of web traffic, keep in mind that you’re looking for a different type of traffic than professional bloggers are. (More on that in the next installment with Filter #6.)

The bottom line is – knowing what you learned right off the bat in Filter #1 — you’ve now realized that you don’t have to create all the content yourself. And whether you create the content yourself, delegate, or outsource content creation, there are little known software tools that help manage an automate content creation and posting for your business blog.

Now when I say “software” don’t think I’m talking about blog-and-ping type junk or blog spam software that violate the 3P’s of the New Media Marketplace — People, Participation, and Persuasion. I’m talking about real blog posting management software that dramatically accelerates content creation and automates the posting of legitimate content to your blog on the schedule you set, whether you’re there or not. These are the types of tools that further help busy business owners like you harness the marketing power of blogs for you business. (We’re excited and pleased that this time saving software will be part of special BLOG interactive 360 home study packages.)

In the next installment we’ll clear the muddy business blogging waters even further with the distinction between subscribers that matter to blogging evangelists, and subscribers that matter most to business people.
