Tuesday Teleclass : Ezine Secrets by my own mentor, Ali Brown, Ezine Queen

You know I like to share my favorite resources with you. Well, I have something very exciting to announce, and I think you'll want to put this event on your calendar.

You've heard of Alexandria Brown, "The Ezine Queen", right? Well, if you haven't she is truly the queen  of helping people create online newsletters. I have been getting her "ezine about ezines" for over 5 years. Still, after all these years, It's one of my favorite newsletters to read each week.

She's a multi-million dollar business owner who owes all her marketing power to her email newsletter, or "ezine." Since launching her ezine several years ago, thousands of other solo-preneurs and small business owners have become students of hers and she has built her own newsletter list past 20,000 subscribers so she knows what she's doing!

Why does she have such a following? She teaches a simple ezine system that shows you how to publish as little as one email every two weeks to increase your sales. Also, Ali teaches email marketing strategies for real business owners -- unlike those madmen internet marketers who just want to spam people to death.

Her methods have helped her students make MILLIONS more dollars in their businesses by using low-cost online marketing, and she has the testimonials to prove it. I personally have used her methods to get my Joyful Business newsletter up to over 2000 subscribers.

Well, here's the big announcement...
Ali is going to be hosting her LAST fr.ee teleseminar EVER on ezines, March 25 & 27. (In a hurry? Sign up now)

Yes that's right. Her LAST.

First of all, she hasn't offered a free live call on this topic in several years. And after this one, she won't be offering any more. My guess is that her business is growing rapidly and taking her in a different, exciting directions.

But she knows what got her started - the humble email newsletter!

Ali will give you the BEST most UPDATED information on ezine publishing on these FR.EE calls.

So don't miss this important teleseminar series. Ali's calls are always jam-packed with information you can use immediately to grow your business using email - ethically.

I'm signed up already just because I like to keep up with the latest ezine trends. I wanted to let you know about this too since I know most of my readers are creating ways to keep in touch and build relationships with your clients. The online newsletter (in all it's forms) is one way to do this!

You'll have to see what I mean - get the scoop and reserve your spot today. Sign up here: EZINE QUEEN

Delightfully,

The Myths and Magic of Small Business Ownership: What You Need to Get Started

Today, I was interviewed on the Wow Women blogtalk radio hosted by Women's Mentor Network Radio Host Barb Giamanco. We had a lots of fun talking about the Art of Joyful Business.

We discussed the fear and confusion that many women have in putting together a business plan -- yet how essential organizing your goals and dreams can be to the success of our business.  We talked about the new way of creating a business plan using the Joyful Business Guide which combines creative worksheets, law of attraction tools with smart business principles to help you organize and energize your business ideas.

Firestarter Ideas: Groove Gurus

I just love new business ideas!  I always have...I've always bought those Entrepreneur Dream magazines... - Make a $100 million with this new home business franchise magazines!   I just love to read about new ideas...to me it always gives me an infusion of energy and enthusiasm. Someone else's creative idea spurs my creativity.  Feeding the creativity batter....

That's why I got inspired by today's email from my friend, Lynne Homrich's, Uptown Scoop daily tip  (think Daily Candy for us working girls!) which featured a cool and hot new business: Groove Gurus.  They are your "Personal Music Stylists"!  I love it!  I work with a lot of stylists...image consultants of every shape and niche, interior stylists/decorators and I haven't had one talk about styling my music! (yet...)

I'm loving writing this blog post and listening to their sample tracks ....definitely grooving my energy!

The hip folks at Groove Gurus will customize playlists for your ipod or PDAD for business uses or personal use.  They dive into your preferences and will customize you a playlist with current music for all your lifestyle and environmental needs:  chilling, cocktails, exercise, commuting, travel. No need to listen to stale boring music again!

Knowing how music can shift people's energy in an instant .....How can you add music to your business to connect with your ideal clients?  Add to your website, blog, update the music on your podcast (are you current...is it engaging to their senses or boring "same 'ole"?)

How can new technology impact your business? 

Can you add an audio interview or audio introduction to your website?

How about adding audio interviews or CD's in your area of expertise?  Have a talented friend "interview" you about a particular subject in your area of expertise and passion.  Record - upload.  Givingaway a free sample of you is a great way to build trust and credibility without a huge time investment.

Are they available for download so your customers can listen on their own time instead of being tied to the computer listening online?

It's really easy to get started with audio. I use Audio ACrobat.  You can call and record yourself speaking and then pop the link on your website or blog.  It's that easy and only $19 a month - it's a marketing bargain!

I use it to record all my teleclasses and seminars. (checkout the next Joyful Business Success Strategy Teleseminar and see what I mean) I have each transcribed and highlight the "golden nuggets" -

• what people love about the Joyful Business Guide tools,
• potential testimonials,
• ideas for future products based on what people say they need,
• and I get loads of ideas for articles and blog posts listening to their common questions and interests.

I also use Audio Acrobat for my Joyful Business podcast interviews. I interview Joyful Business  Entrepreneurs for short 20 minute interviews about creativity, passion and joy.  We talk and record over the phone and a few minutes after we hang up the recording is posted online ready for me to use.

Have fun today!
