How To Use LinkedIn To Build Credibility

I’ve been on LinkedIn since 2001 and I asked the question, “How
does LinkedIn work?” Well it took  awhile before I really found my
way around it.

What I discovered is that LinkedIn is a great tool to build credibility
and a lot easier than other sites.

You may be asking, “I’m LinkedIn, now what?”

1. Create an account (www.LinkedIn.com)
2. Answer Questions
3. Ask Questions
4. Join and participate in groups

Press play as I tackle these four steps a little deeper for you.

Is Your Book Cover a Hit or Miss With Readers?

So your manuscript is sold and you have sent it to a publisher for touch-up. What is missing? Ah…it’s a cover for your new glorious text. Well…what’s the big deal I can let my publishers take care of that aspect right? Not so fast. You’re the author. Therefore, you have the granted power to make authorial decisions. Do not leave it strictly in the publisher’s hands.

What lures most potential customers to buy a book? Is it the content? Sometimes it may be the content. After all, myself I like to read the synopsis of the book before making my purchase decision. But ultimately it is the book cover right? Much like the old adage “you eat with your eyes” the same is true for books. Something with visual appeal regardless of the content is much more likely to be sold over a drab cover.

However, you may have that colorful eye-catcher in mind but does it fit with the story? I cannot tell you how many times I’ve run across texts that have a cover which is may consist of vivid imagination and then the story’s plot may be that of a funeral or disease. By this point I am thinking “Whoa there. If that wasn’t even planned well, how will the book read?”

This is perhaps the most over-looked marketing technique when it comes to marketing your book. And the fact is, publishers like when you can incorporate your own idea or even your own design because that’s less work for them to do. If you know a graphic designer or what’s more are one; perfect! You are now on your way to making that book jump off the shelf or off the web page a little quicker!

Is Social Networking Good or Bad?

I believe social networking is great, however it can become bad
for some markets, industries, or individuals when it comes to
growing their business.

Even some the most successful people online plant their feet
offline to keep themselves grounded. One-on-one is a place
that can help anyone grow personally and professionally.

So tune in and hear about social
networking… Press Play

Top Four Key Success Factors of Online Business

11 Ways You’re Shooting Yourself and Your Business
in the Foot

11 Ways You’re Shooting Yourself and Your Business in the Foot

I’ve been online since 1993 when it was still in the DOS stage of life, but as it grew, I of course allowed my knowledge to grow. Going from pleasure to business was a complete mind shift for me back in 2001.

However, if I’d allowed the below 15 ways to shooting yourself and your business in the foot to kill or even stagnate my growth you wouldn’t be reading this today.

Over the years I’ve heard the battle cries and struggles of many people: online or face-to-face. And what I’ve collected are common denominators to the lack of success: business or personal.

I have struggled with many of these self-afflicting symptoms. I recognize a lot of them daily within my day-to-day travels.

Today, I’m sharing with you symptoms that are harming to many entrepreneurs, authors and small business.

1. Free Mindset – Are individuals who look and expect for everything to be free. I’ve seen it where people refuse to invest $10 for a domain name. Even that is too much to ask.

Often he/she will constantly seek out the only the cheapest and free methods as they drive up the ladder toward success.

2. Constant Complainers – Are individuals who spend their time finding fault and disliking everything under the sun. Ask them to do it better, they wouldn’t know how.

3. The Non-Reader – The reason these individuals fail achieve the results or answers they’re looking for is due to their inability to slow down and read.

Reading is fundamental!

4. Do It My Way – Are individuals who want everything delivered in the exact way they would do it. More often than none, they’ll miss out on one time opportunities.

It’s an unwillingness to open one’s self to new a way to receive information.

5. Overly Skeptical – No matter how much they’re struggling with, let’s say web traffic, this individual will talk themselves out of investing 50 dollars to achieve results.

I myself understand the fear of being burnt because I have invested thousands into a program that didn’t deliver what it promised.

6. Not The Right Answer – Are individuals who will suck up the time and knowledge of another person to get an answer to their dilemma, but the answer entails for “too” much work, then for them it wasn’t the right answer.

7. Quick, Fast, & Hurry – Are individuals who always want results yesterday without the leg work or the building of the foundation.

How do I get web traffic? I need to sell XYZ amount of books in three months.

8. Cornered – Are individuals who will remain in the corner, rather than branching out in order to increase their skills and their network.

9. I Can’t – Are individuals who allow the phrase ‘I can’t” dictate their abilities online or offline. They have the capillarity to do a lot more once they take away the belief of  “I can’t”.

The word can’t shuts down one’s ability to move.

10. Network – No matter how many contacts, Twitter followers or Facebook friends one may have, it doesn’t compare to having a network of colleagues one can connect with locally.

It took a minute for me to step outside of myself. I have a mastermind group that has helped me immensely. You can find one in your area on MeetUp.com

11. Look At Me – Are individuals with social networking ratio of 90% look at me and 10% of by the way here’s something I found.

People are turned off to constant self-pointing. The way people will notice people when they offer solutions. When it comes to commanding attention is when individuals bring value into each place they enter into… online or offline.

There are others that weren’t mentioned above and some you already know about yourself. If there’s ever a time to put the gun away and place a bandage on your wounds to start the healing process, then that time is now.

Make a commitment to yourself, then to your business to change one thing a month that you’ve been shooting youself in your foot with. Now, if it’s a bunion keep on shooting. I’m joking!

Seriously, take time to reflect on what’s been debilitating your growth and your ability to reach higher levels in life: personal or business. Once you’ve identify them: Face it, Trace it, then Erase it.
