Online Biz Show Thanksgiving Twitter Debut
Posted by: | CommentsWe’re so excited to be starting our show today Thanksgiving. We thought of “officially” starting it in the next couple of weeks, but as we were watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade, we decided to fire up our flipvideo and start it today by saying Thank You to our teachers, subscribers, students and all the tweeple we’ve come into contact with over the last year… This show will be real, just like this episode… no editing stuff out, no scripts, no do-overs (no makeup even!) … You can even see one of our fancy “soft box” lights for videos in the background…
Some of what we’ll be bringing you 3 times a week starting Monday includes:
- online biz advice
- tech for non-tecchies (like us)
- motivation and inspiration to keep moving forward (even when you face pebbles in the road)
- cool tools that will make your life (& business) easier and better
- behind the scenes in two online businesses that work giving us both more freedom in so many ways
- how to balance life and your business
- and much more
We are so thankful today and everyday and we hope to help you with this show! We’d love to hear from you so leave a comment and we’ll “see” you in Webisode 2 on Monday! Happy Thanksgiving! Jeff & Maritza
Ideas to Help You Market Your Completed Ebook
Posted by: | CommentsSeveral weeks ago I got a comment from David Tomen about how to market his Ebook… Here’s his blog comment:
Hi Maritza: Wasn’t sure where to put this comment but the end of this article seems appropriate. I just wanted to thank you for the tutorials and inspiration in how to create an eBook. I was looking around for info on how-to articles and found you. I recently published the Used Boat Buying Guide which you can find here: http://oasisyachts.com/used-boat-buying-guide. It is by no means a best seller and I need some additional help on how to get the word out. It may never sell in the thousands (although it should considering that there are over 17 million registered boats in the USA). What I learned however during this process can now be easily duplicated. So thanks once again. DM me @DavidTomen on Twitter with your email address and I will be happy to send you a compimentary copy.
Warm regards,
David Tomen
I love seeing people take action so I sent him a DM (direct message via twitter) and told him I would make a blog post to help him out. I grabbed part of a video about how to market your Ebook after you’ve created it…
The video shows several ways to makret your Ebook once you complete it and now with the super-explosion of Social Marketing Tools, it’s even easier for you to connect with people looking for your information. Other ideas specifically for David:
- I can’t tell how often you post on your blog because the posts aren’t dated (great strategy because people think day old posts are “yesterday’s news”), but post often!
- You could start a weekly boat life video show – obviously you know how to do videos http://www.youtube.com/DavidTomen Just fire your video up and show people living the life with a yacht… if that doesn’t sound amazing I don’t know what does! Go interview your friends with yachts or customers – I just found out I’ll be interviewing Gary Vaynerchuk of Winelibrary tv soon and he’s inspired me to begin a daily video blog show about different aspects of online biz (unedited, unscripted and completely real!) You obviously have a great sense of humor with your “Spousal Conversion Kit”
- Went to your twitter accout, definitely find more people who are interested in boats, yachting etc. Go to http://search.twitter.com and enter the keywords to find them… and them follow them Also, tweet about your videos, your Ebook and stuff on your blog. Find nautical quotes http://quotegarden.com or just “google” it. Load quotes/tweets into http://Hootsuite.com so you can have them going while you’re on your yacht! Or use the search field on the right hand side of your twitter toolbar to enter boats near: Florida
- Engage with people! Let yourself go in your videos. The videos where I get the best response are the ones where I almost feel like a “used car salesman” (not that there’s anything wrong with that…) But I let go and get enthusiastic. Maybe listen to some loud inspiring music beforehand and just don’t care what people will think… some will like you, some will love you and some will be trolls (not my word, Seth Godin’s) and criticize you. I will applaud you!
- Think of Social Marketing with the 80/20 rule 80% social 20% marketing. And make offers… from time to time, make a direct offer for your Ebook.
Hope this helps! Love, Maritza
PS I’d love to hear other comments and /or ideas for David. As always please comment below (and check out my new “sexy toolbar” when you go to post your comment)
Inspirational Video: Dr Randy Pausch – 7 Tips for Living an Inspired Life
Posted by: | CommentsThis is a fabulous video to watch when you’re acting like Eeyore (which we all do sometimes!) Some tips from this great video when Dr Pausch appeared on the Oprah show:
1. Always be dreaming… never lose that spirit. “Experience is what you get when you don’t get what you wanted”
2. The brick walls that are in our way are there for a reason, to let us prove how badly we want things.
3. Remember the importance of People vs. Things
4. Decide if you’re a Tigger or an Eeyore. Never underestimate the power of having fun.
5. Work & Play well with others.
6. Show gratitude.
7. Don’t complain, just work harder…
If you lead your life the right way… the dreams will come to you.

Did You Know…? Video (or Why You May Be Feeling Slightly Overwhelmed…)
Posted by: | CommentsWow… This is a great video from You Tube all about how fast everything is moving…
What does this mean for you? More opportunities to create, to contribute AND to feel overwhelmed if you aren’t careful…!
Enjoy the video and then please, take a moment to breathe.
While you’re watching this, I’d like you to know that I created this blog post yesterday Friday September 18th, I set up the email broadcast to go out automatically today, Septmeber 19th and am now on a weekend getaway in the Great Smoky mountains with my family (and No Computers!) So, this can be a blessing if used correctly…
Enjoy and as always, please leave your comments below!
Failure. It’s not fun. Doesn’t feel good. Makes you question yourself and what you’re trying to do. Makes most people simply give up.
Did you know that THE most successful people all have also failed THE MOST?
Since becoming an online entrepreneur, I had heard about Article Marketing, the long term benefits of it and how easy it could be… When I began dipping my toes into Article MArketing, almost ALL of my articles were rejected. One failure after another after another… I could have given up but instead, I sought out the expertise of a trainer and coach who could help me and teach me as quickly and easily as possible how to do it right! That teacher was Jeff Herring, the Article MArketing Guy (who’s known in many circels as The Everything Marketing Guy!)
I took one of his courses and… Voila! My articles were being accepted by article directories AND even more importantly, I learned to craft a Resource box that was not about ME, but about what my products and services could offer OTHER PEOPLE. And I began to benefit from the traffic and list building of Pre-Qualified prospects becoming part of my subscriber community.
In fact, you may have found me because of one of my articles! I’ve also become a syndicated columnist because of learning how to do Article Marketing correctly!

I actually have a slight problem with the name Article Marketing. I think people get scared of it because they say
But I look at it differently now. Each article is like a Free Advertorial that is out there on the internet, placed in extremely well-trafficked sites, sending you people who are actually interested in what you offer., WITH links back to your site! |
Each article is actually a content-rich Advertising. And you know what will happen if you use traditional advertising like the Yellow Pages. That’s gone the way of the dinosaurs and is pretty much like flushing your money down the toliet…
If you don’t tap into things like social marketing, which includes Article Marketing, you won’t have a business soon. You can’t argue with what IS working.
Jeff is the best Article Marketing teacher out there and he’s just designed a course to make it simple to follow for beginners. (Although experienced entrepreneurs have been raving about it too!)
Check out his brand new 90 day course with 12 weekly lessons here
Alex Mandossian, known to many as the Napoleon Hill or Oprah of the Internet says this about Jeff and Article Marketing
“Article Marketing is the absolute best resource for generating unlimited amounts of free traffic. And the traffic is evergreen – it keeps coming year after year” – Alex Mandossian

What Dogs Can Teach Us About Being Happy Now…
Posted by: | Comments| A couple of weeks ago one of my dogs, Menudo had a lump removed from his back leg. The lump was sent for biopsy and was determined to be malignant. One of the options was radiation therapy, until his leg showed signs of no longer being viable.. which means we have to have it amputated on friday. Of course, when they told me I cried and cried and worried about him, but in the last 24 hours… I’ve noticed he’s hopping around great with his three good legs and he’s as happy as ever! Every time anyone opens the fridge, he’s right there begging with the other dogs and he still runs around outside on his three good legs!Menudo has taught me a very important lesson… It’s better to choose to be happy anyways! |  |
Deborah Shane sent me this great video all about doggies and I wanted to share it with you!
