If you missed the Blogging and Beyond show last Thursday, Denise has just posted it on the site. We interviewed Ellen Britt of Marketing Qi about her tremendous success with teleseminars and how you can use this low cost tool to grow your business. Despite some technical challenges, it was a good show.
In the second half of the show we brainstormed with Ideal Client Erik Feder about he could use teleseminars to expand his WheretoFindParking.com business. You might get some good ideas too!
For all you executive coaches and consultants, here’s a conference which sounds interesting for top quality business information:
The Wharton Economic Summit in Philadelphia April 12 & 13 will feature 70 Speakers to discuss Economic Challenges in ‘07. If you’re interested, pre-registration is open until April 8th online at http://www.wharton.upenn.edu/alumni/wharton125/events/finale/phila-registration.cfm
Denise and I decided to spend the weekend just for fun in Manhattan. I haven’t researched yet, but on my list of things to do would be shopping, museums and a good play. I’m wondering what good plays there are to see, anybody have some recommendations?
We’ll be in the theatre district until Sunday. If you’re in the area, let us know. We’ve reserved a table for breakfast on Friday March 23rd at 8 a.m. for friends, just drop an email and let us know you want to join us.

Low-Tech Promotion: Using TeleSeminars to Build Your Business
TeleSeminars are an easy, affordable way to attract interested prospects into your sphere of influence and grow your business. You provide valuable information, for a fee or free. You deliver the program on the telephone, record the event, get it transcribed and turn a one-time program into a profitable info product that generates income long after it’s over.
The Blog Squad interviews Ellen Britt who started with a few fans last year, increased her database by 2000 and made $9000 within two weeks of launching her teleseminar series Marketing Qi.
In the second half, we check in with Ideal Client Erik Feder and brainstorm how he can implement this marketing strategy for his business.

"Promoting Your Business with Information Products"
with guest expert Paulette Ensign of Tips Booklets International.
I got an email this morning from marketer Bob Serling. He says that a survey of people who have taken info product development courses reveals a surprising fact on why people fail.
I would have guessed inadequate marketing, a badly put together product, inability to set up a merchant account or shopping cart system, or a number of other reasons. It turns out that while those are important, they aren’t what really stops people from being successful.
What is really the number one reason why so many people fail, according to Bob? Quite simply, it’s:
The failure to ever create their information product.
Ouch! You can’t get to first base unless you pick up the bat and swing.
We’ll be discussing info products Thursday morning on the Blogging and Beyond radio show, www.VoiceAmerica.com, at 8 a.m. PDT/11 a.m. EDT with Paulette Ensign. For info on the show, visit www.BloggingandBeyond.com.

I came down with a raging head cold over the weekend, so bad I missed my tennis games. Which got me to thinking about "sneezers" and how they can spread the word about your products or services.
We have a teleseminar Tuesday March 6 about Viral Marketing, or how Greg Pincus went from 30 to 32,000 blog visits in two months and landed on Slashdot, the NYTimes, and got a 2-book contract.
That’s "sneezing" at its finest. Greg knew that to get the word out he’d need a little help from his friends on other blogs and in the media. First he had to find a "hook" or something that people would want to pass around to their friends. (Would you believe that poems were what he used to capture people’s imaginations?) To register for the teleseminar, click here: www.blogsquadteleseminars.com/viral.
I got curious about where the whole viral marketing thing got started and did some research on Wikipedia. Read my post over at BizTipsBlog for a brief history.
The point is… what king of viral hook can you think up? A game, a video, a puzzle…what will capture the imaginations of the sneezers in your database? Go on, don’t be afraid…infect a loved one and spread the word.
