Love Your Customers First and Your Customers will Reciprocate

Awesome Is Viral 300x253 Gary Vaynerchuk and Guy Kawasaki on Brand Engagement

I am a HUGE advocate of finding ways to leverage viral marketing and social media to extend your brand and grow your business. By definition, that which is viral is also organic, meaning you shouldn’t over think the process of growing your brand virally.

The engine that powers your viral messages is the value you provide to those who share your message with others causing it to spread online. But you are the spark that ignites the process and for that you simply need to develop the mindset of giving to others first.

In their latest books, Gary Vaynerchuk (Thank You Economy), Guy Kawasaki (Enchantment), and Russell Simmons (Do You) among other thought leaders have stated… the companies and brands that will thrive now and into the future are those that empower people to fulfill their purpose by engaging with a company or brand. The trend is for customers and communities to engage with companies whose brand values include putting people first and creating exceptional experiences in the delivery of their products and services.

In this short video we are treated to rare dual interview from two of the most forward thinking entrepreneurs on the scene today. Gary Vaynerchuk and Guy Kawasaki take turns highlighting the core message of their books.

This Short Video Contains Several Gold Nuggets to Help You Thrive

Do you know what to  place on your ‘from sender’ line?

Mega Money List Worldwide 3 300x212 Improve Your Email Open Rates with One Small Settings Adjustment

I want to share a quick email marketing tip with you from my Mega Money List vault. Your results will improve dramatically by making a few small adjustments in the way you structure your auto-responder settings and the manner in which you carry out your campaigns. From time to time I will post tips and tools to help you get better results and grow a more responsive list.

Most people use the default ‘from field’ as provided by their Internet service provider or free email sites like Google’s G-mail and Yahoo Mail when they send an email which usually looks something like this: james@gmail.com (this is an example and not my real email address).

Using your ISP address or a free email account raw email address as noted above looks unprofessional and actually hurts your open rates according to AWeber, a leading email marketing services provider.

This email marketing mis-step is easily fixed and I am going to show you how to do that in this blog post. First, if you chose to include your email address in the ‘from sender’ line, be sure to set-up an email address which contains your domain. For example your ‘from sender’ line will look like this: james@yourcompanyname.com this is easier for your readers to recognize, strengthens you brand awareness, and looks more professional.

Another option is not to use your raw email address at all as most email clients allow you to mask your email address with text, such as your name, company name of other statements that would identify you for your subscribers.

When it comes to email marketing always remember that your primary goal is to get your email delivered to the in-box of the recipient and solidify your brand in your marketplace.  This may appear to be a small detail but I assure you that the payoff is big and you will benefit by making this adjustment to your email account settings.

Please feel free to post a comment and share your email marketing tips or questions. I am here to help you succeed and I look forward to connect with you directly to help you accomplish your goals.

Have a blessed day!

Easy Traffic Video Course will teach you how get unstoppable traffic!

Easy Traffic Videos James Holmes 300x300 Easy Traffic Video Course is BHAG Site #8

I have built a successful business by focusing on two core skill-sets… driving viral traffic and building a responsive subscriber list. Today, I have assembled a video course and series of e-courses designed to help you learn what you need to know in order to drive unstoppable traffic, build a responsive list, and become a successful marketer regardless of your niche.

The Easy Traffic Videos Course and two content rich e-courses are BHAG site #8 in my 30 sites in 30 days November Big Harry Audacious Goal (BHAG), which has been detailed in prior posts on my blog. My previous blog post reviewing my free ‘Traffic Guide for Affiliates‘ represents the first of a three part project which includes a video squeeze page and report,  a video course and two volume e-course, and a WordPress blog to teach you about website traffic.

The course is presented in 12 content rich videos which takes you from foundation to set-up and concludes with a complete traffic plan that will create unstoppable traffic to your websites and blogs. This is the type of course I would have loved to have as a new marketer and provides concepts consistent with courses I have paid hundreds of dollars to obtain. I have priced this course to make cost a non-factor for anyone serious about getting website traffic and making money online.

Here is a volume by volume overview of the Easy Traffic Videos Course:

Volume 01: Overview – Understand the complete course including a variety of free and low cost methods to get targeted website traffic.

Volume 02: Social Media Marketing - Get the most from social media leveraging Twitter to include tactics to make the most of your participation in these sites.

Volume 03: Social Media Marketing (continued) – Facebook continues to grow and define the direction of social interactions online and Linked In has become the social platform for professionals. In this volume you will learn how to use Facebook to develop your brand, propel traffic, and make the most of Linked In.

Volume o4: Social Marketing Tools Part One – This volume will detail several tools that will save you time and let you in on a few hidden benefits long used by many top Internet marketers.

Volume 05: Social Marketing Tools Part Two - In conjunction with part one this volume will teach you about using Squidoo, Blogger, Google Buzz, WordPress, Hub Pages, Blog Glue (have you ever heard of this site?) and others.

Volume 06: Social Bookmarking – Learn how to use Digg, Reddit, Technorati, You Tube and more. Understanding how to effectively use these sites will pay off big with reliable traffic.

Volume 07: Traffic Exchanges and List Building Sites - These are among the most mis-understood methods of getting website traffic. Most people use them incorrectly and after you finish this volume you will better understand how to make the most of exchanges and list builders.

Volume 08: The Big Kahuna! Relationship Marketing – Here we cover integration marketing, ad swaps, and networking. This volume is filled with tips and tricks to help you make the most of this resources.

Volume 09: Give it a Go! Here is another mis-understood and under utilized source of traffic that those who understand it benefit every day and amazingly mostly free of charge. Craigslist, Backpage, Adland Pro, Classifieds for Free, the Free Ads Forum and more.

Volume 10: You Cannot Avoid it! Writing Content Works! Bill Gates once famously said “content is king” and he was right. In this volume you will learn how to produce enough content to keep traffic flowing to your websites.

Volume 11: Write it and they will come! Not exactly… it is critical that you track your ads in order to target your efforts in the areas that produce the best results. If you can only watch one of these videos… be sure not to miss one.

Volume 12: The Traffic Plan – This is where it all comes together to create your personal traffic plan. All of the knowledge in the world is useless without putting action behind what you have learned. Here we ensure that you take immediate action.

When you join this course you also will enter into my traffic inner circle and will receive additional tools and resources including promo codes for advertising at a variety of popular sites.

Easy Traffic Guide for Affiliates Free Report Unlocks Affiliate Income

Banner 350x250 300x214 Easy Traffic Guide for Affiates Free Report BHAG Site #7

Have you wondeed how marketers like me and thousands of others earn real money every month selling products and services as an affiliate marketer? Before I discovered the formula I did too and I wanted to create a couple of sites and develop a video course and e-course to help you discover how to make money with affiliate marketing.

I am really excited about the next three sites I will be introducing to you here as they are a grouped in a cluster with emphasis on teaching you how to gain consistent traffic to your websites. The site set-up includes a video squeeze page leading to a quality affiliate traffic free report (and e-course), the second site is a special offer for a 12 part video traffic training course, and finally a Worldpress blog to provide ongoing tools and tips to keep you up to date.

This post will share the first of these sites with you as the Easy Traffic Videos free affiliate traffic report is BHAG site #7 in my 30 sites in 30 days November Big Harry Audacious Goal (BHAG), which has been detailed in prior posts on my blog.

Remember what you have learned from me about creating sales funnels over the past 4 years… sales funnels accomplish many objectives including list building, front end sales, and larger back-end sales. The first step in the Easy Traffic Videos project is launching the video squeeze page and free report offer, which I will detail here for you. Take notes because once you understand how to set-up a proper funnel you can create unlimited sites and cash flow.

Here are the components for phase one of the project which is the video squeeze page:

1.) Domain Name – targeted and keyword rich, especially if it is an aged domain

2.) Site Graphics – these can be custom, private label or re-sell rights

3.) Introduction Video (trailer) – outsource creation or make one free at  Flix Time

4.) High Value Product to Giveaway – Free front-end offer, this can be a PDF, Video, or audio (original, PLR, MRR are fine)

5.) Auto-Responder Sequence (pre-written) – Provide product delivery and ongoing value through your messages

6.) Back-end Product – Deliver a premium front-end free offer, over deliver content through your auto-responder, promote a high value product or service on the back-end

Visit My New Site Here: Free Affiliate Traffic Report

The number one challenge for most online marketers is traffic, which results in too few people to share your offers with and as a result too few sales and very little commission income. My front-end offer helps to solve this problem for you and online marketers in general through my back-end offer which is the ‘Easy Traffic Videos Course’ and an exclusive set of bonuses that you will read about when I review site BHAG site # 8 to follow.

Remember, the key to creating websites that work is giving your subscriber and members extreme value for free and continuing to deliver value for them for as long as they remain on your list. Over time you will develop trust and your subscribers will be open-minded when considering the products and services you share with them in the future. Be patient. a quality list of responsive subscribers is developed over time.

If this project inspires you to create a similar sales funnel with the free offer leading to a back-end sale, I would love to hear about your ideas and how I can assist you. I am here to help you succeed online by creating funnels that provide value for your list so your subscribers succeed… by doing this, your success is guaranteed.

Have a blessed day!

Worldprofit Platinum is BHAG Site #6

Worldprofit Platinum is a unique live business center that is a must see!

rsz james holmes radio 294x300 Worldprofit Platinum is BHAG Site #6

When I was introduced to Worldprofit for the first time in 2008, I was impressed with their ‘Live Business Center‘ which is an online marketplace where all of the prospecting and enrolling of members takes place in real time. When I began looking for a new platform to train marketers, I recalled the live business center model and returned to Worldprofit where I have been happily leveraging their resources since May 2010.

George Kosch introduced a great new platform a couple of weeks ago which places this same technology into the hands of Platinum members and from which I have launched my personal live business center. My new Worldprofit Platinum Live Business Center is site #6 of my 30 sites in 30 days November Big Harry Audacious Goal (BHAG), which has been detailed in prior posts on my blog.

This technology has been developed by George Kosch and delivered to the members 95% complete and 100% functional from day one. The business or income opportunities being promoted, site graphics and special offers can be fully customized or the defaults can be used. In addition, I have added my social media icons linked to my profiles and hot links to my blogs and other important sites in my funnel.

In the current configuration I am offering a massive package of advertising credits for visitors to use to promote their websites at several popular safelist and ad exchanges. I also am providing immediate access to our brand new Solo Ad Blaster‘ with 90,000 emails sent per month.

I am also giving away three valuable information products by download as follows:

1. Google Traffic Tips & Tactics

2. Clickbank IM Reviews

3. Understanding SEO

So what is the take away here for you? It depends on your business funnel and whether or not you could see the value in presenting your business using platform like this to work directly with your prospects and make sales in a live environment. It will certainly set you apart from 99.9999% of the marketers online by using the live business center.

You can visit my site and take advantage of the bonuses presented on the site. If I happen to be in the room we can speak directly or you can simply click on the order button to get a Silver or Platinum package of your own or opt-in for the free associates offer.

Visit my site here: http://www.worldprofitmentor.com

Another lesson from this project for you is the principle of taking massive action by taking advantage of every resource available to you in your business. Ask yourself a simple question… am I taking full advantage of all If you look at the resources, tools and programs you have in your business funnel? If you are not why not and what are you willing to do to change this fact?

If one or more of my projects inspires you to create a similar project, I would love to hear about what you are working on. I encourage you to contact me and allow me to help you create a successful site or two of your own. I am here to help you succeed online and create an Internet business that empowers you to accomplish your goals and objectives online.

Have a blessed day!

A members forum allows you to build a tribe while helping others succeed online

Internet Entrepreneurs Forum 11 Internet Entrepreneurs Forum is BHAG Site #5

Internet Entrepreneurs Forum was conceived as a project in the summer of 2010 and was inspired by Tissa Godavitarne‘s ACME People Search Forum which is masterfully utilized. I like the way Tissa uses his forum to build community through the forum by using it as a place where his members provide support for each other across their entire platform… this is very powerful and incredibly effective.  My vision is much the same as Tissa’s and because of this I am content with the steady and progressive growth of the forum based on the needs of the members.

Internet Entrepreneurs Forum is site #5 as I felt this would be a great site to complete as part of my 30 sites in 30 days November Big Harry Audacious Goal (BHAG), which has been detailed in prior posts on my blog.

The forum is built on the PhpBB script which is a free script and widely used by forum developers in a variety of niches. The script is very feature rich although it is not the most advanced option available. The administration area is easy to learn and manage, which is a real plus if you are in anyway technically challanged. I did add one additional script to provide an advertising function allowing me to install banner ads and other images to any section of forum I choose including individual post or specific groups within the forum.

I set up the initial sections of the forum under two main categories, community and forum (main) with several sub-categories. This is just the start and the categories and sub-categories will expand organically as the forum community grows.

Here are the categories and sub-categories as the site is being launched today:

Communty:

Welcome – Please Introduce Yourself

Free Lance / Outsource Job Board

Social Media Profiles (Follow and Follow Back Exchange)

Content Syndication Network

Guidelines and Rules of Engagement

Report SPAM Post and Abuse Here

Member Lounge

Community Members Blogs

Forum:

Strictly Business

Direct Sales Program Reviews

Direct Sales Program Reviews

Network Marketing Program Reviews

Affiliate Marketing Program Reviews

Funded Proposal Program Reviews

NEW Product Launches

All About SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

Advertising and Traffic

Traffic Exchanges (Reviews and Recommendations)

Safelist (Reviews and Recommendations)

ClickBank Automated Income

S.W.A.T. Traffic

Boot Scootin’ Traffic

The project plan was very straight forward and here is a checklist of the task completed in this project:

1. Secured the domain and set-up the C panel account on my server.

2. Download and install the PhpBB script here and manually installed.

3. Located and installed the banner rotator php script.

4. Contracted out the graphics and installed.

5. Set-up administrative permissions and preferences.

6. Set-up initial categories and topics.

7. Installed initial ad codes in HTML.

How am I monetizing the site?

This forum will be monetized using affiliate programs promoted with banner ads. Once the forum membership reaches my established benchmarks for traffic and membership size, banner advertising will be sold on a selective basis. In addition, I will post reviews of products and develop special offers for the members and offer the members who own products and programs to offer similar discounts to our members. Direct promotional programs like this will be restricted to a predetermined categories of the forum as not to violate the ‘anti-spamming’ policies I have established on the forum.

This will be my first foray into forum ownership and I have been told that forums are difficult to start and I accept that… most good things in life are often difficult to obtain, so I am ready to patiently invest both time and energy to accomplish my objectives.

I invite you to join the forum and engage by visiting here:

http://InternetEntrepreneursForum.com

If one or more of my projects inspires you to create a similar project, I would love to hear about what you are working on. I encourage you to contact me and allow me to help you create a successful site or two of your own.

Learn How to Hold Your Vision

Hold Your Vision and Manifest Your Dreams

Vail Colorado 300x225 Learn How to Hold Your Vision

The Covered Bridge Across Gore Creek in Vail

Back in June I enjoyed a short working vacation in Vail, Colorado a place I have visited regularly since 1981. My trip resulted in an amazing period of reflection, personal growth and many lessons which I have shared here in two earlier post. The first  dealt with manifesting your perfect life and that was followed by thoughts on embracing your personal stories to break through events of the past that may have created self-limiting beliefs in your life.

Today, I want to share my understanding of another concept which may in fact be the key to obtaining the life of our dreams. The topic is holding onto the vision of what we really want in our lives. It is one thing to sit down with your journal and write out a set of goals or better yet a life plan, it is quite another matter to hold onto your vision against obstacles and setbacks.

I remember sitting next to the raging Gore Creek with it’s banks overflowing from the Spring runoff as the water moved swiftly toward the Colorado River to fulfill it’s purpose as a tributary to the great Colorado. When I looked downstream I could see many obstacles in the path of the flowing creek; boulders, fallen trees, foliage and I thought of these as an analogy of the obstacles we face in pursuit of our vision or purpose. I watched as the water found its way over, under and around every obstacle and challenge with a clear purpose to flow eventually into the Colorado River. We must maintain the same focus and determination to achieve our greater vision life vision and purpose.

10 actions you can take to achieve vision and purpose in your business and life.

01. Set your vision based on “your why“  as your why will anchor you during choppy waters and give your vision real  purpose.

02. Allow yourself to DREAM BIG regardless of where you are today, build your vision based on where you want to be.

03. Believe in the power of attraction and draw unto yourself the people, opportunities, and resources needed to manifest your vision.
