How Can We Save at least 1 Hour A Day?

Last week I had some renovations done in my office and living room. As the workers were redoing the walls I had to temporarily move my desk to my bedroom, where I could continue to work quietly. Unfortunately, I don't have WiFi in my condo and moving my work space meant losing the internet during the day while the work was being done.

Yes I admit it, I am one of those checking emails all day long.

So I was pretty much in a panic. I would only be able to check my email about 3 times a day. But it turned out to be a great lesson. I remembered hearing about a book called "Never read your emails in the morning," but I never sat down to read it. My excuse for constantly checking my email is that half of my clients are based in Europe and are 6 hours ahead of us. I need to reply as soon as possible. But I agreed that it is just an excuse since not every email is an emergency.

For an entire week I had limited access to my email. I only used the internet early in the morning before the work started, during the lunch hour and in the evening after the crew left. And after a week the lesson became clear: I saved at least one hour every day. I know, it sounds amazing, and it is. I saved an entire hour of work per day by not responding to emails constantly. I gained one hour which allowed me to spend more time working on my marketing and
promotion.

I normally write an article a month and often said that I don’t have the time to write more. With all the time that I saved last week, I was able to write 4 articles in just one week! If I keep this rhythm it means 18 articles a month instead of 1 per month, ok let say 15 just in case. That is 14 more promotion/exposure opportunities per month to attract more people to my website. Which means more potentials clients AND more money.

Time management is crucial. Limit your email responses to 1 to 3 times per day. See if you can work in an extra hour marketing or taking one more client consultation instead of checking emails. The figures speak for themselves: let's say you charge $150/hour for your services and you get an extra hour per day. That equals an additional $750 a week, $3,000 a month or $36,000 a year. No bad right! When we put it into numbers it resonates even more.

If you are like me and you check your emails constantly, try my new strategy for the next week. Track your results and share your experience and leave a comment.

I look forward to hearing your story.

How to Increase referals by keeping in Touch with People that You Meet!

Smart business people know that getting referrals is the best way to attract new customers. Why? Referred individuals are more likely to do business with you because someone they know or trust suggested that you can help them. Research shows that customers who come from referrals are better customers. They pay faster, complain less, buy more, and stay longer term.

Getting Referrals Can Be Difficult.

Many business owners are uncomfortable to ask for referrals and it can be a challenge to get people to remember you as time goes by. Think about it for a minute. You meet someone at a networking event, can not currently help each other, and are not a good fit for whatever reason to set a follow up meeting. Eight months later, that same person that you met at the networking event has a need for your services. The million dollar question is??? Will they think of you first?

How to Get More Referrals

Networking is a long term process, it is about developing relationships and bonding with people over time. That means keeping in constant contact with them. Yes it is true, you can send out a quick email to people to keep in touch, but networking guru's all seem to agree that a hand written personal note or card is the preferable form of communication for building rapport.

Do you know those big Internet marketers' names that Tony Robbins is talking about?

Finally, the cover design for the new version of Power of Networking Secrets is complete! Stay tuned, I will reveal it soon.

I am working hard on the final touches of the new version. I remember from my first version that the end details take some times. They may be smaller details, but there are more of them and they are sometimes harder to define.

For the last month and a half I have been working with a new coach who specializes in internet marketing. I feel as if I am entering a whole new world as there are so many new strategies to learn. I feel as if I have worked harder to
learn these new tactics and implement them than I have worked in a year! By using just a few of the strategies on one of my website (www.startyourdreambusinesstoday.com) my conversion has gone from 20% to 80%.

My new coach, who is a millionaire internet marketer, has mentioned the big names in Internet Marketing, such as John Reese (who was the first person to make a million dollars in 1 day by selling products online),
http://tinyurl.com/TonysVideo, Frank Kern, Matt Bacak, Shaw Casey or Mike Filsaime. You may have heard of them before, but a month ago I didn’t know who they were.

Six months ago Anthony Robbins discovered those big guys, internet marketers, too. And just launched a new program called "The New Money Master" on which he interviews those marketers to expose the psychology and the systems that work for making tons of money online.

If Anthony Robbins was able to learn a thing or two from those guys, may be you should check it too.

A Lead Generation System That Works – Part 3

If you missed "A Lead Generation System That Works" – Part 1 and 2 click-here

Here are the last 7 of my Lead Generation System That Works

11. I organize events and promote them on about 10 websites.This is another way to get free exposure, so even if people can’t come to the event, if they are interested in learning about it, they check the website, and sign up the newsletter, plus each attendee is a new lead.

12. I do public speaking. This is not my favorite, so I try not to speak four times a month, but in my marketing plan, I scheduled a public engagement every other month, so another organization will promote my book or program to their newsletters and subscribers.This is another way to get free exposure, and I meet new people during the event.

13. I offer free consultation. On my French Consulting Practice’s website, (http://www.myfrenchnetwork.com/), I offer a 30-minute free consultation for French people who want to start a business in the U.S.Again, people don’t buy from people they don’t know, so offering a free consultation breaks the fear. They can share their project with me. I inform them of all the steps. They see how I can help them, and doing so, I start building a relationship. As a result, 80% become clients after this consultation.

14. I have an Affiliate Program so other people can sell my program and my book.Because you are a solo entrepreneur or a solo professional, you don’t have to do everything on your own. So having an Affiliate Program is the easiest and fastest way to increase sales and greatly increase your profits. It is like having plenty of salespeople working for you, FOR FREE. The more affiliates you have, the more access you have to thousands of people, who will see your products or services on somebody else’s website or newsletter. You are not the only one to promote your products now, you have a sales force. Your affiliates promote your products or services for free and you don't pay them until they generate a sale for you. When they make a sale, you will be more than happy to pay them a commission, since you would probably never have had this client otherwise.

15. I do numbers of partnerships with companies or entrepreneurs who have the same target market but are not my competitors. Would you rather meet a thousand people, one at a time, or meet a few people who will each introduce you to a thousand? Most people see networking events as a place to get contacts one at a time or make one sale at a time. My goal when I attend a networking event is to meet potential partners, so we could cross-promote each other on our respective websites and newsletters, organize seminars or teleclasses together, do mailing campaigns together, etc. The benefit of it is that you have exposure to their contacts while they have exposure to your contacts. That is a win/win situation.

16. Last, but not least, I have a 7-step follow-up system that works. Statistics show that we need to hear or see a message at least 7 times in order to notice it. So if you are part of those people who follow up only two or three times, you are losing opportunities to turn prospects into clients. That is why it is important not only to have a follow-up system, but to have at least a 7-step follow-up system in place.To learn more about my own 7-step follow-up system, check out my program “Power of Networking Secrets”.
As you can see, using systems in your business is the best way to grow easily and effortlessly. And most of the strategies that I just shared with you don’t even cost you money. All of these strategies work very well if you are starting your business, or if you need to refocus your business to get the result you are expecting after few years. And when you are an established business, that is a way to keep growing.

So what is YOUR lead generation system?

Take some times to sit and think about it. Are you using 2 or 3 lead generation techniques, or do you have 10 to 15? Make a list, as I just did. Which of your lead generation techniques works the best for your business? What other techniques could you implement today? Schedule a new technique each month, set up a date to make sure you will respect your marketing calendar, track the result for each technique, see what works for your business, and watch your sales grow.

A Lead Generation System That Works – Part 2

If you missed it, read A Lead Generation System That Works – Part 1 Click - Here

Here are 10 of 17 of my Lead Generation System That Works.

1. Over the past six years, I have exchanged links with other entrepreneurs or websites that have the same target market, but are not my competitors. So when people visit their websites, they see my link and come to check my website.

2. I have a mailing list box on each page of all of my websites. I have five different websites, two of them with more than 200 pages. And since I never know when a visitor will decide to sign-up for the newsletter, I make sure that I don’t miss any opportunity, which is the reason why I have a mailing box on each page.

3. I offer a free report or a free mini e-course.Having a mailing list box on my website is one thing, but to make sure people will actually sign up, I have to offer them something that will interest them, something that will inform them and help them to solve one of their problems.

I offer a free mini e-course, “15 Ways to Maximize Your Networking Results”. This is free info for them, but at the same time it is a way for me to show them what I do, how I can help them, and how to get more clients with networking. People usually don’t buy from people they don’t know or trust, so showing a part of your product or service will help them to get to know and trust you.

4. I send a weekly newsletter "The Connection Queen News". People sign up first to get the free report. After that, it is my job to tell them more about my business, and share resources, marketing and networking information in order to build a relationship with them. Statistics show that when people don’t buy immediately, they will buy in the next 12 months. So I need to make sure that I am always in the top of their mind, so when they are ready to buy, they will buy from me.

5. I use auto-responders to automate my website. I use auto-responders when people sign-up for the newsletter or for an event. I set up a series of information messages about my products or services and the benefit of using them. I use them to send audio postcards, to offer special reports for free, and/or to thank my clients for their purchases. Any message will remind them about my services and, more importantly, remind them to come back and buy again. This series of follow-up messages reinforces my relationship with my clients.

6. I use the software “Act” to automate my follow-up system, with people who either attended seminars or teleclasses or bought my book, or program. The first time, I set up the different follow-up messages I want to send to people, then each time I have a new client, I just enter his or her name, and the software will remind me what to do and when to do it. I don’t even have to think about it. As I mentioned earlier, I do the work once and put everything on automatic pilot.

7. I send “Thank You” notes to my clients after they bought my book, program or CD, and after a month, I send them a special offer on their next purchase. I keep the relationship going. In this age of technology, sending a handwritten “Thank You” note makes you stand out from the crowd. You want to impress your clients or contacts and want them to remember you.

8. I ask my clients for testimonials.Testimonials from satisfied customers are typically the best way to promote your business, and it doesn’t cost you a thing. Stop selling and let your clients do it for you.

9. I write one article a month and post it on about 50 to 60 directories of articles.Writing articles is actually one of the best ways that I found to get free exposure. Each article is a way to share my expertise with people, and again, to give a sample of what I do and how I can help them.

10. I publish a press release on various websites, each time I have a new product. As with the articles, it is a way to get free exposure and inform people, and the press, of what is new in my business. As with the articles, it is a way to get free exposure and inform people, and the press, of what is new in my business.

Special Offer - Last Chance

This is your very last chance to order my program "Power of Networking Secrets" for $147. It is only available until Sunday August 23th at midnight EST.

As I mentioned recently, I am working on a completely new version with more secrets revealed including how to network effectively with social media. Plus the brand new version features various interviews with netwoking experts. The new addition comes with a physical product in the form of a great binder and CDs (not audio mp3 format only but really CDs that you could play in your car, when you jog or every where you go.)

This new version will include everyday strategies I used to grow my business over the last 6 years. I'll show you step-by-step exactly what to do and what to avoid in your business to attract a lot more clients, consistently, to double your revenue by the end of the year.
　
But a lot more information means a more expensive price, so this new version will be much more than $147. If you still want to grab the current version to get the basics of growing your business, take action while you can for the next 3 days.

On Monday the $147 will be gone!

A Lead Generation System That Works - Part 1

I recently had a drink with somebody that I had met few years ago, when I started Biba4Network, but whom I didn’t get the opportunity to see for years. He was one of the first subscribers in my newsletter, so even if we hadn’t seen each other for a while, he was reading the newsletter every week and kept informed of what was happening in my business.

One of his comments was "Wow, I can’t believe how much you have grown your business! I remember when you started, just moving from France, and you didn’t know anybody here. How did you get to this point? You definitely can’t do all of this on your own, so how many people work for you now? What is your secret?"

I answered that I found my result a normal growth. You know, you work hard, you learn from others, you implement the techniques and strategies that you have learned, and if you do it correctly, the normal result is to grow. Simple isn’t it?
　
But when I got back home, I thought about it. What did I do for the past few years to grow my business, to the point that I actually made the same revenue in the last three months as I had made all last year? I must have done something!

I think that some of the reasons that I was able to grow my business are:

#1- I spend lot of time learning from others, reading books or attending seminars. But reading a book or attending a seminar is not enough. Most people close a book or leave a seminar very motivated - "Wow, great techniques!" - but the next day they return to their routine and never
implement those techniques in their business. I personally implement at least one of the techniques each time.


#2 – I learned how to delegate, and have all of my administrative tasks done by my virtual assistant, while I have more time to work on my marketing plan and work with clients.



#3 – I established systems, so I don’t have to do the same thing over and over. I do it once and put all of my business on automatic pilot. This, by the way, gives me more free time, to either work on a new project or just take a vacation.



#4 – I make technology work for me. I still remember the time when I was sending my newsletter manually, 30 emails at a time, directly from Outlook, taking an hour to do it every Monday morning. Now, thanks to my Shopping Cart, in just one click, I send the newsletter to my 3000 subscribers. Or when I answered manually each time somebody signed up for an
event, then sent a reminder the day before the event. Now the auto-responders are doing it for me.

#5 – I have a lead generation system that works. When I work with clients who are complaining that their business is not giving the results they are expecting, even after a couple of years, or that their business doesn’t get enough leads, I ask them what lead generation techniques they are using. Most answer that they usually send e-mails, sometime have a newsletter, go to networking (but don’t follow-up effectively) and stop there. Well, they use 3 or 4 lead
generation techniques, but if you are using 10 or 15 lead generation techniques, as I do, you definitely get more chances to turn your leads into clients.

So what is my lead generation system?
Don’t miss the newsletter next Friday, I will share my 17 Lead Generation System

Unspoken, But Crucial To Your Online Success

In the beginning there was the marketer. There are certain truths you come to understand the more time you spend making money online – or trying to.
Witness the evolution of marketing online. Whether you are new to the net game or an experienced pro, there is one thing you will have in common if you are moving towards entrepreneurial success.

As you read this article you will realize what you have in common with all the other million dollar earners online, and what you’re missing that can take you from where you are to where you want to be.

So let’s get started shall we?
I will begin with a bullet point list and short explanation of the marketing necessities you want to have:

For starters, most established markets will already be using this by default:
- A Domain: something specific to what you want to promote like (ex.www.mysite.com)

- Hosting: a place to put your site, if you’re planning on making money – find a paid solution so you look like a credible business and you cut back on high traffic crashes.

- A website: your image your presence and your marketing message, don’t get pulled into the trap I see everywhere of trying to put too many choices on your website. Maximize on the effectiveness by only giving one purpose to a page.

For example if you want to build a list - focus all your efforts and copy on that singular focus, if you want your site to sell a product, then only put that focus on your site. You’ll also need a good editing program, and an ftp software to get this up and moving.

- A merchant account: If you have something to sell, people will need a way to pay you. There are a ton of great providers out there, but there are a specific few that give your visitors the security to pull out a credit card with assurance.

- An Autoresponder: This is a real necessity if you want a business and not just a hobby. When you have a family to support this is a real no brainer. This is your email follow up service. You get a name added to your list and this is where they go. You will use this to stay in touch and build relationships with your customers and soon-to-be customers. (I use and recommend 1shoppingcart)

- A helpdesk: in the beginning when your business and sales are small you can handle all the little questions and emails yourself. One of the things that will keep a small business is small is thinking “I can do that myself” if you want to truly grow; you need to share the workload (petty tasks) and focus on what you truly want to do creatively for your business.

- Membership Site software: once you’re addicted to the internet marketing lifestyle, you will realize this oh-so-simple fact, it’s great to make a sale, but it’s even better to make a sale once and get paid for it every month. Continuity is king.

- Teleconferencing software: If you want an easy way to create and crank out high ticket products, audios and a transcript is an easy to make, high-value product. (I use and recommend audioacrobat).

Of course everything we’ve touched on so far only scratches the surface, but these are the necessities that not only get you started but will make you above average. Keep your eyes peeled for more articles that will take you from beginner to winner.

We’ll cover resources that will help you stay organized and expand your business to make you truly prosperous such as:

- PDF creators and converters

- Mind mapping software

- Site tools to make your business a set and forget it

– money magnet

- Internet video and audio creating software

- And the how-to’s of outsourcing

Keep learning, and most important: be persistent – it will be a quality you share with the biggest money makers online today…

How Do You Define Abundance?

Abundance is a concept often debated in spiritual and entrepreneurial circles.
Entrepreneurs commonly use the catch-phrase "thinking BIG," but they really mean the same thing.

Abundance is tough to define because it's one of those unique ideas that must be experienced to really be understood ... it can't just be explained.

Yet the most encouraging part of adopting an abundance mindset is how it can connect you to people with totally different set of beliefs and values.

It instantly sustains inclusivity even with people who are dramatically different.

POP QUIZ: What do Mother Theresa and Donald Trump have most in common?
The answer is their abundance mind-set.

Donald Trump says, "If you're going to think anyway, you might as well think big."

Mother Theresa said: "The more we discover the magnitude and abundance of God's gifts, the more we will find ourselves."

Again, the abundance mindset creates connections.

Bucky Fuller had this to say about the abundance mindset:
"The condition of planet earth is abundance. Our belief in either scarcity or abundance determines how our financial, legal, political and military systems are set up or exist at all.

Scarcity and abundance are foundational and contextual ideas. They each give rise to a distinct system of thought and a number of rules, characteristics and measures which only make sense within their own system."

Above all, the abundance-mindset is a choice. In other words, you choose to look through the lens of scarcity, or through the lens of abundance. There is no in-between.

"Do ... or do not. There is no try." ~ Yoda

Because there are are so many differing opinions about abundance, my colleagues and I have decided to conductthis worldwide survey get more opinions - your opinion - on this highly debated topic.

My JV partners, Alex Mandossian and Scott Martineau are hosting the Virtual Abundance Expo next week, so I figured this a great opportunity to host a survey and attract the best single sentence that clearly defines abundance.

What to do now: Please use the comment box to write your definition of abundance. The survey ends at 5pm PDT on Monday, July 27th, right before Jack Canfield's keynote speech for the Virtual Abundance Expo.

All the definitions will be gathered and tallied the next day and five finalists will be chosen for the final vote.

If you are one of the five finalists, your definition of abundance will be personally evaluated by our Virtual Abundance Expo faculty.

The top vote-getter with the clearest and most concise definition of abundance will be personally interviewed by Scott and Alex as a honorary faculty member for Virtual Abundance Expo.

So what do you say ... are you game?

If you are game, then take a peek at these 9 abundance quotes to get your heart and mind moving...

"The only factor becoming scarce in a world of abundance is human attention"
~ Kevin Kelly in Wired

"Nothing amuses me more than the easy manner with which everybody settles the abundance of those who have a great deal less than themselves."
~ Jane Austen (1775 - 1817)

"Abundance is, in large part, an attitude" ~ Sue Patton Thoele

"Abundance of knowledge does not teach men to be wise"
~ Heraclitus (540 BC - 480 BC)

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little"
~ Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882 - 1945)

"Unfortunately, the balance of nature decrees that a super-abundance of dreams is paid for by a growing potential for nightmares"
~ Peter Ustinov (1921 - 2004)

"Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into"
~ Wayne Dyer

"Expect your every need to be met. Expect the answer to every problem, expect abundance on every level"
~ Eileen Caddy

"Not what we have, but what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance"
~ Epicurus

Now it's your turn ... type in what you feel abundance means to you. Go ahead ... the simple act of thinking about it will instantly improve your day.
