If you’re on the fence about starting a blog, don’t worry about all the hype. Blogs are a fad, but a good fad. They aren’t going to go away. They are just too darned easy to use, inexpensive, and blogs bring results for your business.

Don’t waste your time setting up a free blog, because it will look just like everyone else’s. Do it right, the professional way, and follow our steps. We show you how to set it up right, AND, how to optimize it to drive business your way.

That’s the whole point, isn’t it? Blogging for business.

P.S. If you’ve bought the book, and still need help in optimizing your blog for business, you might want to participate in our 6-week intensive blog training teleseminar with Marketing Mentor Adam Urbanski. You can peek over his shoulder as we teach him how to blog and use a blog to get clients.

Now’s the Time to Write that Book!

Yvonne Divita says there has never been a better time to write a book and get it published. For sure, authors have more options today to get a book into print. Learn what you need to know on Wed. Aug. 10, at 8:30 p.m. ET.

Conversations with Experts is featuring Yvonne Divita. Here is what she is presenting:

Every day at WMEBooks (Windsor Media Enterprises) we meet another budding author. These are people just like you. Creative men and women who have a great story to tell, but aren’t sure how to tell it. They’re business professionals with years of experience and a desire to share their expertise with a growing demographic of entrepreneurs. Dreamers who dare to dream of becoming the next nationally recognized author.

Even those who simply want to feel the elation of personal accomplishment by writing, publishing and marketing something that is their very own.

If you have a story to tell or if you know of someone who does, learn how to do it — cost-effectively, and successfully, without losing the rights to your work, or being led down the garden path, which happens to too many talented people when they approach publishing the old Dick and Jane way — by asking a traditional publisher to handle their manuscript.

Yvonne DiVita is the president and founder of Windsor Media Enterprises, LLC, which includes WME Books, an author services company to help writers produce, print and sell their work and Smart Marketing to Women Online, which helps online merchants reach the largest, most wealthy demographic in the world – women.

Last Days: Blog to Book Project

At the end of the day, June 15, the 50% off intro prices on the Blog to Book Project ends, so this is a blatant promotional announcement! Sign up now, or be lost in the world of “Oh dear, I know I should write and publish a book, but I don’t have time!”

Sound familiar? I’d say at least 9 out of 10 busy professionals that I talk with have a book inside their heads, but complain they have no time to write.

Denise and I have both been there, but we discovered that blogging was a great aid in getting the written word out onto the screen. Follow our guide and get your book out in 90 days.

You two have done a professional job on this project. I’m truly proud to have been a part of it. In skimming the TOC of the e-book, I can’t find fault with it! You’ve thought of everything.

It’s clear you put a lot of time and energy into this and interviewed some high-powered bloggers who know the inside scoop when it comes to this new, exciting form of building community and connections online."

Get More Results from Your Ezine!

Greetings!

Just got back from cold Quebec City where I was thawed by the warm welcome of old friends and subscribers at the ICF conference and the Executive Summit Pre-conference. But wow, it’s great to be back in sunny Ajijic, Mexico!

I had some blogging withdrawals; funny how this blog thing grows on you and you feel like sharing every little thing…okay, okay I’ll get to the point!

Do you still struggle with your ezine? Is it the content, the formatting, or the distribution? Do you know how some coaches have grown their subscriber lists from 50 to over 10,000 in just 3-4 years? Many have, you know. I am going to share everything I’ve learned with you about ezines in a new e-book and telecourse.

Clue: A great coach ezine gets clients to call you, to email you, and to buy your products and services…without being promotional!

Let me take the struggle out of the ezine tasks and put the joy back into your coaching practice! I’ll show you how… if you’ll give me a little money and some of your time. I’ll give you solid value and SAVE you time, money AND energy!

Next Wednesday, Nov. 17 is the first teleclass on creating Effective Coach Ezines. We guarantee you will learn the Secrets of Successful Ezines and during our five week workshop you will have an ezine either greatly improved or ready for publishing. That’s right, the classes, the work book and the fr*e*e* e-book, will get your ezine up and out the door.

Here’s what one person says about this program (and he is a thought leader in coaching and a great teacher):

I recommend Patsi‘s Customized Newsletters and Keys to Effective Ezines course.

Patsi can help anyone, whether you are new to Ezines or someone who is more

experienced and needs to tune up your newsletters. Without exception, you’ll NEVER spend money on something as leveraging as Ezines. I’ve built a Ezine database of more than 9,000 subscribers using Ezines and YOU can too.— Mike Jay, Master Business Coach, founder www.b-coach.com

So, here’s what ya gotta do: this will cost ya, but it will be worth it. For $97, I want you to go register here and get the e-book, for free ($47 intro price until Nov. 20), coaching on your ezine, a $47 discount coupon for any services or article at Customized Newsletter Services. You will be glad you did, because you will have a great ezine to be proud of and you will start growing your database and get results! And we’ll even hold your hand cyber-connectively.

Go here: http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/adtrack.asp?AdID=108621  and you will see the telecourse on Effective Ezines listed half way down when you scroll.

(You missed our free intro class Nov. 9, sorry!) But further down on the list at www.teledevelop.com, you will find the description of the class which meets four Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET until Dec. 15…(we skip the week of Thanksgiving because of vacations- I will be in Acapulco and I’m sure you will be somewhere having fun too!)

This class will be audio recorded so if you can’t make it, register anyway, and you will get the audio recordings and the e-book including the discount coupons and over $500 in valuable bonus services and downloads. We will coach you personally to create your ezine.

Seems like a lot of dough? Well, if you can solve your ezine problems and save time and get more results from your ezine, would it be worth it? Is it worth it to avoid the 10 most common mistakes coaches make with their ezines? Is it worth it to be able to handle your ezine in less than 1/2 day per month instead of a whole day or more?

I say, get back to coaching and earning the money you deserve!

Let’s face it, in today’s interconnected Internet market you can’t afford to skip an ezine. You must publish quality content AND regularly. Don’t be seen as an inconsistent writer, or your readers will lose the trust and connection that an ezine can provide.

I gotta get off my soap box. Somebody stop me. I am worse than a preacher when it comes to ezines.

I have been called the ezine evangelist. But that sounds so righteous…not sure I like that. Need a nickname that’s a little bit more rebellious or renegade. Any suggestions?

Seriously, this class and the e-book Secrets to Successful Ezines fills a gap because it is specialized for coaches, consultants and professional services providers, even therapists and psychologists can use this course. Other classes and e-books have been published but most are for promoting small businesses. Coaching and professional services are different, and your ezines must have other elements in order to be effective and get results. You want to write it, publish it, get read and get clients!

End of promotional rant, just do it, come sign up and you won’t regret it. Money back guaranteed. We’ll even have some fun, too!

Sure, ezines can be fun! That’s what it’s all about, isn’t it? Having a great job, great clients, and a great life.

Comments, feedback? Who’s game?

Patsi, the ezine evangelist looking for a new nick-name!
