Secret Teleseminars Strategies to Expand Your Customer Base
By Travis Greenlee
For increasing your customer base and expanding your business, you can easily select any of the options available such as hiring a marketing professional, initiating expensive ad campaigns in trade publications and many others. However, if you do not have the requisite funds and are looking for a low-cost solution, then it’s recommended that you opt for teleseminars that are just as effective and in some ways even better than many of the high-cost options.
Teleseminars can definitely help you achieve your targeted goals and objectives obviously because they allow you to add that much-needed personal touch to your marketing campaigns, something that even the most highly-paid marketing consultant will find quite impossible to deliver.
Do You Want Customers Or Do You Want Clients?
By Sarah Robinson
Do you have customers or do you have clients? If you don’t know the difference, it could be hurting your business. Here’s how Merriam-Webster dictionary defines customer:
Customer:
1 : one that purchases a commodity or service
2 : an individual usually having some specified distinctive trait customer>
And here is the definition for client:
Client:
1: dependent 2 a:customer clients> a person who engages the professional advice or services of another clients> b: one that is under the care and protection of another.
I don’t know about you, but I would much rather be viewed as a trusted advisor by those I come in contact than someone who sells “a commodity or service”.
The Phenomenon: 5 Wisdom Nuggets to Shift Your Business into Abundance
by Alicia M Forest, MBA
Multiple Streams Queen & Coach
After attending a great conference put on by Brian Sachs, Dan Kennedy, and Bill Glazer, I came home with a pad full of notes, a ton of business cards from some really fantastic fellow entrepreneurs, and more than a few shifts in my thinking that I thought I’d share with you in this issue.
1. Attend conferences with the intent to come home having earned back the cost of the conference in business.
I’ve written before about the importance of attending in-person events that make sense for your business, and the return on investment that you have the potential to get from meeting your clients, colleagues and prospects in person, but I hadn’t thought about it in these terms before. And with a nod to Bill Glazer, allow me to put a bit of a different spin on it.

by Fern Reiss, CEO, PublishingGame.com/Expertizing.com
In the same way that it’s always easier to parent other people’s children perfectly, it’s easier to criticize the publishing industry from the outside and see what needs to be done. Still, as an ‘outsider’ who’s been in various segments of the publishing industry for over 25 years, here’s my top five list of changes the publishing world needs to implement in order to survive the current economic downturn–if the industry is to emerge at the other end intact.

It’s been a while, but we’re back …
Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone! I love St. Patrick’s Day. It always brings out the “fun” in everyone, plus … it means Spring is right around the corner. Hallelujah!
Wow … long time no newsletter. I can’t believe it’s been 4 months since the last one. Boy have we been busy here at Fastype; so busy that the first quarter has almost come and gone. But, never fear … we’re back again, with another great article and some more of my favorite resources that I can’t wait to share with you.
Everyone is talking about social media right now. It has, without a doubt, become the hottest, fastest and easiest way to network, build relationships and market your business. It certainly is the most fun! Social media marketing is driven by websites and tools like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube and Ning (just to name a few). Unlike traditional marketing where advertising and selling are the main components; social media marketing is relationship marketing. The key is to market your business by building relationships – hence the term “relationship marketing.” While I have to admit that Twitter is probably my favorite social marketing tool (it’s unbelievable what you can accomplish with 140 characters), Facebook is right up there at the top of my list … and the topic for this issue’s article – Ten Ways to Promote Your Facebook Page, by Facebook expert Mari Smith. In this article, Mari will share 10 easy ways to promote your Facebook page.
Not using social media marketing in your business yet? Give us a call and we’ll show you how easy it is. We can get you set up on the “big three,” Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn and help you establish a game plan and strategy to start using social media marketing in your own business.
