To "sharpen my saw" to better serve you, I find it interesting to observe which of my wall posts on Facebook will receive the most responses.
As part of my personality-driven marketing system, I coach the importance of YOU being the brand in order to connect with your market so that you are building the know, like and trust factor. This then leads to filling your pipeline of potential clients, patients, members, or customers.
But, again, it's you in the spotlight...with finesse.
Meaning, you are marketing your relationship with your community. You are taking a sincere interest in their posts and responses. You are posting emotionally compelling info while delivering a class-act image, authentically.
Today's business paradigm has changed dramatically where we now rely on peer-to-peer to do the marketing for us. Traditional media has taken a back-seat.
Oh, how times have changed.
So it follows, when we deliver our marketing via our Social Media pages, our most effective approach is a relationship topic beyond the information resources. People buy from those they know, like and trust. Engage with your community as if you were having a conversation. Be authentic. Document your thoughts and feelings. Here was one of my highest response rates in a while. It took place Sunday, Mother's Day, of course.
"Lovely way to end a Mother's Day. For the 1st time, my son took me to dinner (and paid) and bought me pink roses. So sweet. So simple. Simple things in life MATTER the most. Grateful. :)" Simple. Straight to the point. And, emotionally compelling. I chose to compose this thought because most everyone can relate with this topic - raising teens. This Mother's Day was truly a turning point in my life with my son.
So, as you consider posts on FB and Twitter, think about how you can serve your community with compassion while delivering a "world-class" image to your market.
Life without love is no fun. And love without a thriving business makes life really unfulfilling, right?
So, here we are - smart, beautiful, driven, dynamic, creative, intuitive, women who are either single, married, or in a relationship and we seek that ever elusive "having it all" life.
Yes?
Well, I am here to tell you - with a handful of TLC combined with straight up ("in your face") truth about men & romance, and a unique look at the marketing of your business brand, I say it's possible to have it all - but in your own way.
I believe that "having it all" is very subjective and is up to you to create. It's not the fantasy - superwoman -image we have been fed in the media. I want you to have a lavish love and a successful business your own way.
But let's first clear away the clutter and confusion about men, romance and how to build those quality online communities to pave the way for a juicy love life and booming, successful business!And by that - I mean, an authentic, fulfilling, rejuvenating, joyous, sizzling, love life AND a dynamic, thriving, business.
BUT as long as you are open to hearing the naked truth from a real man's perspective (and he's a handsome devil with a heart of gold truly wanting to support you) tempered by my creative, intuitive, seasoned perspective in how to market your brand so it OOZES the real you while attracting RAVING fans (who are energetically matched to you!)

Ok, so truth be told, we are all overwhelmed with our Social Media efforts BUT we know we must do this in order to be successful in our marketing, right?
So what’s the solution? We are entrepreneurs of balance these days. We value our sanity!
One of the core strategies I coach in my personality driven marketing coaching programs is focusing on REVENUE PRODUCING TIME and limiting all those time wasters and low paying tasks that take us away from higher paying activities and our genius (expertise). Here are two of the BEST tools out there to save you time and allow you to efficiently deliver your important Social Media.
HOOTSUITE. Hoot who? Yes, Hootsuite. And, Ping.fm. Let me tell you about Hootsuite first.
Instead of logging in and out of social media all day all week, you can open one simple tool that manages all your major accounts on one tabbed screen. You can send, receive, and schedule messages on one or multiple social streams.Hootsuite is based on the TWITTER 140 character rule.Those of you who have Virtual Assistants, this is one of the smart tools they use to support you or socialoopmh.com.
It’s simple and free.
Generally, I recommend you spend no more than 15-20 minutes a week for a handful of posts.
That’s all. If you pre-schedule up to 3 posts a day 4 days a week – you are doing better than most. Just pre-write your posts for an upcoming PR or promo campaign and then post them at Hootsuite and you are done for the week.
Sign up for the FREE account – add your FB, Twitter and Linked-In accounts and passwords. Follow directions for set up. Once you have the account up – you can begin posting in the top left corner. Every post must be 140 characters or less. Choose the accounts you want to send to. Choose NOW or schedule the posts ahead of time. THIS IS YOUR TIME SAVING BENEFIT and it’s so cool! I think it’s the best.
Here is what I see as the COOL 5 benefits:
1. Teamplayer: HootSuite is an awesome teamplayer. It makes it easy to manage multiple users over various social network accounts. If you have partners in business or an assistant, you both can have access.
2. Speak to me baby! Hootsuite tracks statistics. Graphs show not only a summary but also individual message statistics. Cool beans!
3. I can see it all! Never miss an update by that all important VIP with HootSuite's multiple columns feature. This is great—you can organize your social networks into friends, news, search terms, keyword tracking. Yes!
4. I love my sanity and time! Pre-schedule option. Post ahead of time and off you go!
5. So, how’s my brand doing? Check out the dashboard, then use the search bar to measure your brand name, topic or keyword and walahhh! Monitor your brand. Like what you see? Save the search as a column.
PING.fm; much more simple than Hootsuite. It does not have the multiple column feature but offers the same “one fell swoop” option. Post 140 characters message and choose which networks to go to and off it goes! There are special options and features to add if you like. Check it out. It’s free, too.
So, tell me something. Who thought of these names anyway? Have fun Pinging and Hooting your way to success!
What is your brand quotient? Ask me how to deliver authentic, dynamic personality driven marketing while building loyal friends, fans and raising your revenues!

Miracles are constantly occurring around us. Serendipities abound in daily life. The issue is not that these miracles are absent. This issue is that we may be absent. Not present in the moment. We may be standing on a hill of diamonds and we are looking for the gold mine beyond the next ridge. As we reclaim ourselves, we begin to notice the extraordinariness of the ordinary. We quit thinking about the present and we start doing it.----anonymous
