Hi Creators & Big Thinkers,

Welcome once again to all the new subscribers this week!

I hope you are enjoying your summer so far... I have to say I am really soaking up the “Texas Summer Days” because lately I realize my children are growing up way too fast. Just a handful of summers left and the oldest will leave the nest. THANK GOODNESS I work from home and I can enjoy my family AND also enjoy the work that I am passionate about.

I am not saying it is always easy to balance it all, but most days it is. Mainly because of the boundaries that I have established over the years. In fact, in a recent conversation with a team member, we were discussing that “true business success” is really just a result of a two things: a powerful business model and your mindsets around marketing. That’s it.

Leveraging an amazing team and finding great vendors can be really easy once you plug into a business model that is powerful. And once you understand leverage—you create natural boundaries in your personal and work life. The reason you can then create boundaries so naturally is because you have the resources you need to accomplish your goals. Plug into the wrong business model and there is no such thing as creating boundaries in your business and certainly not in your life.

Title: How to Leverage Your Expertise to Gain Business Exposure by Lisa Manyon

I’m delighted that Lisa Manyon, President of Write On ~ Creative Writing Services, LLC. (www.Lisamanyon.com and www.writeoncreative.com), Founding Partner and Director of Copywriting and Publicity for the Association of Web Entrepreneurs, joins us with critically important tips to gain added business exposure from press releases.

Lisa will reveal her best tips to:

  • Discern the difference between free and paid publicity and why both are important elements of your marketing efforts.
  • Gain a better understanding of what is newsworthy and what is not
  • Demonstrate why press releases are not just about media exposure anymore.
  • Case studies of how press releases can lead to:
    • Print & Television exposure
    • Increased online publicity for your website
    • Additional exposure as traditional marketing support
    • Public education surrounding misperceptions about issues
  • Reveal the basic formula for press releases
Press releases or news releases are traditionally used to alert the media of something newsworthy. The landscape of press release distribution has changes dramatically because of online newswire services and aggregates. Lisa Manyon shares her proven tips on how to generate traffic, opt ins, media exposure and more with online press releases.

This Month’s Event:

Title: How One Woman Published 8 Books in Less Than 18 Months

Various surveys have shown that 80% of people want to write a book, yet most people never get beyond dreaming about being a published author.

In this teleseminar Susan Daffron explains how she self published 8 books in less than 18 months without using a ghostwriter. (In fact, she did almost all of the work herself!)

You’ll learn:

  • How Susan got beyond her big “stuckness” on two book projects that had been languishing in old discarded Word files for literally years.
  • How to find and repurpose writing you may already have in other forms.
  • How to determine if you can actually sell your book once it’s finished.
  • Which areas of the publishing process you can outsource, depending on your skills (and one you definitely should).
  • How to publish your book “on the cheap” and avoid the stigma of subsidy/vanity presses.
  • Numbers and acronyms you need to know about once you enter the wild and wooly world of self-publishing.
If you’ve got a book project you wish you could finish, join Susan Daffron and take your first step toward making that dream a reality.

Did you get a copy of my new book, Smart Women Create Membership-Based Businesses yet?

Tip of the Week:

Embrace Marketing—In a recent conversation with a team member, we were discussing that “true business success” is really just a result of a two things: a powerful business model and your mindsets around marketing. That’s it. So if you have decided to build a membership-based business, then you are plugging into a powerful business model already.

Next step—you must embrace marketing. You must learn to tell people what you do with ease. You can tell them in person, in writing, through audio, through video, and so on. To embrace marketing, you will have to develop a deep passion of telling people how you can serve them. Once you “believe” that you were meant to serve others with your knowledge and that you were meant to bring together like-minded individuals as part of your soul purpose—then marketing is easy to embrace.
