Hi!

This week seems to have flown by and I feel like I have been on a webinar almost every day!  Perhaps I have been. 

The "Action Team" from the Blueprint in Action series continue to wow me with their commitment to getting in action.  We had this message from one of our members just the other day:

"I have been a lifetime employee and have been procrastinating on starting my own business for at least 5 to 10 years, printed business cards, been to numerous seminars and listened to many great mentors. Now after just three weeks listening to Joanna and being part of her Silver Mentoring program, I am in business.  I sent the  email below out last night and have my first teleseminar in three weeks, have registrations already and am actively chasing speaking gigs– it’s scary but absolutely exhilarating at the same time! Please pass on my thanks to Joanna for the great information and motivation!

Regards,
Kym Heffernan
A raving fan!

How inspiring huh?  Thanks for sending that in Kym.  I am so wrapped to hear how you're doing.  I share this with you today in the hope that Kym's story will inspire you to keep reaching for your goals because it really is all a mindset.

The WHAT to do to build a successful business is so straightforward.  And the only difference between those who succeed and those that don't is they become the right WHO to get the job done.  And that's just what Kym has done and I applaud him for it.

I was so impressed with this that I have decided to give Kym a gift as a congratulations and he has received a scholarship to join us for the "Lazy Web Celeb Series" that I am running with my mentors starting in September.  Well done Kym.

So keep sharing your stories with us guys-  I might just make random acts of generosity like this my modus operandi if you can inspire me with the shifts you've been making!!


Cheers,

Using Video and YouTube Effectively

There is no better way to get your message out to your market than using video. Video can never be too short or too long, only too boring

If you are doing a video tip such as this one, the best place to upload it is YouTube

Here are my tips for using video and youTube effectively:

  • When filling your information in for the video, make sure you optimise your title for your main keywords relating to the video
  • In the description section, put your website title first.
  • Fill in a content-rich description that also contains your keywords
  • In the tags section, also put all your keywords and include your own name as a keyword and also your business name


If you need a speaker for your upcoming events, please contact our office.

Become a Lazy Web Celeb

This is an incredible new program released yesterday!  You are going to have to see it to believe it.  You see, I’m a speaker, not an internet marketer.  But I know that my members need to be able to DOMINATE  their niche online as well as on the platform.

So that’s why I have pulled together these incredible internet marketers to join me for a series where I will GRILL them for answers on how to do the “Big Four” things online with bare minimum effort.

This program is jampacked with info on youtube, twitter, facebook, blogs and opt-ins.  In short everything you need to get a HIGH QUALITY, LOW EFFORT online presence.

And to celebrate the launch of my new book, it is as cheap as chips and we’re throwing the book in.  Go check it out….

Lastly the first 150 people to register will receive an UNADVERTISED bonus of my “Top Secret Behind the Scenes Guided Tour” of me going from concept to upload on our videos.  How we do the green screen, a tour of my “home studio”, screen capture of me doing the editing.  You name it.  Everything you need to know to make super-sexy videos like the one above!

Opportunity International Australia provides people living in poverty with access to basic financial services – including small loans, savings accounts, insurance and business training. These services are know as microfinance, and they assist people who wouldn’t usually qualify for regular banking services because they have no form of collateral or formal identification.

Here’s how it works…

By helping a mother to buy a sewing machine to start a tailoring business or a father to buy seeds to plant a vegatable garden, small loans enable people in poverty to earn an income and provide for their families. 97% of loans are paid back, so the cycle can continue for years! Each successful business feeds a family, employs more people and eventually helps to empower a whole community.

Did you know that for only a $200 donation you can help one family start a business and employ one other person? This one loan once paid back can be used again and again. Many of us spend more than that on a night out with friends and once that money is gone, it’s gone!
