I’ve been at this business for almost 6 years now, and have accumulated a ton of useful knowledge. I’m grateful for that, and just absolutely LOVE learning stuff — new stuff all the time. And I’m very lucky because working for Overcome Everything gets me lots of cool info that I couldn’t afford myself. It’s really a super perk of the job.

So, with all this stuff in my brain, I’m asked to do teleseminars often.  I love that! Teleseminars are absolutely the best way to get people interested in who you are and what you know that can help them to move their businesses forward. You gain their respect, trust, and because of those things, you make money. People buy from people they know and trust.

The best of all situations, of course, if having your own teleseminar series. Here’s a link for you: http://easyseotricks.com/13th . I can attest to the fact that this system works, and that it gives you a MUCH bigger list than the one you have now.

The thing is that you can’t be shy. Shy will NOT work in business. So, get over yourself, right now! Anyone can use the strategies that the link above gives you… anyone.

So, last night, I did a teleseminar with someone who started out as a customer of mine and Telman’s and he quickly became a friend. His name is Rick Burdo, and he’s a disabled Veteran. He can’t even type because of his disability, and so does all of his pages with voice recognition software. It’s amazing! He’s really struggled through a LOT to put his whole system together, and now, he’s actually doing it.

What’s your hurdle?

You don’t have to know everything about your topic. All you have to do is assemble a group of experts who do. Then, you interview them. Simple, right? It’s not that tough getting experts in your niche, either, because they want to sell their stuff to your list and get all the cool respect, trust, etc. from new people that they’ve not met before.

Then, when you put all of the interviews together, you have a product, and… it’s a great product because of all the information that the experts have put forth. It has nothing to do with you or your expertise! It’s how Tellman built a multi-million dollar busines and then, he was able to hire me and 14 other folks! So, now, how enticing are teleseminars, huh?

I’m telling you… they’re the BOMB!

Want to know the particulars? Check this out: http://easyseotricks.com/13th Believe me… it’s amazing what one simple teleseminar series can do for your business and your wallet. Amazing.

LBC_logoOK, so I’m the project manager for The ListBuilding Club and totally love, love, love it. And why wouldn’t I? I’ve helped create it, have maintained it, and work on it 100% of my time for Overcome Everything. I’m prejudiced. But we have hundreds of people, if not thousands who would agree with me.

It just rocks and we’re constantly working on what we have to offer to make it better and better. We really care that people love it and are able to use what they learn and take it to the bank.

So, I was on a call today for the ListBuilding Club Ferrari Contest with Shawn Casey and he gave some really fantastic information about joint ventures.

His main point was, don’t just contact people to ask them to do something for you… Do something for them first, which is great advice, of course. And he went on to tell listeners everything about joint venturing like how to approach people, how to know if they will be good partners, how to get information about partners, and how to make joint ventures work well. Killer stuff. But then, who didn’t know that, right?

But then, he asked if I had anything to add, and well… how can you possibly improve on Shawn’s advice, right? :-)

But then, I remembered what Tellman told me a long time ago, and that was that all joint ventures don’t include people with bigger lists mailing out for you, though that’s usually what new marketers think that joint venturing is all about.

The other side of that coin is where you joint venture because you need help. Maybe you aren’t a technical person and need help setting things up. Or, maybe you suck at copywriting, while someone else might be killer. I mean, there are so many reasons why you can partner up with people.

As Shawn mentioned today, a joint venture is where two or more people partner in business to achieve a mutual goal.

Sure, ad exchanges are joint ventures, or holding teleseminars for each other is a joint venture, or finding a business where you can help them to improve sales because of something you do better is a joint venture, too. But bonding with other folks to get your launch done is another cool way to JV. Don’t overlook it.

Have you ever held a teleseminar with a JV partner? No? What are you waiting for? I mean, the power of teleseminars is E-normous!

When you get on the phone with a group of people and show expertise in your niche, they’re ready to follow you. They get it that you know your stuff and want to learn from you. They want to join your membership site or just pick your brain, but even before the call begins, people opt into a list to be able to get on the call.

When you hold a teleseminar, you’re getting the benefit of the other person’s list when they send people to your squeeze page to register. When you present on a teleseminar, the other person should be having people register at their own squeeze page and be getting the benefit of your list. So, you’re exchanging list members. You’re both building your list!

I don’t get it why people just don’t think to do this. It’s totally powerful and really important! List Building is all of it. That’s it. There are no magic weapons. Everything you do should be about building your list and a teleseminar is a perfect way to get that to happen for both partners.

Plus, when you sell your JV partners’ stuff on a teleseminar you host, you make money. You get half; they get half, right? When you’re a guest, you get to sell your stuff and they get half of your profits. Everybody wins on these things!

So, what are you waiting for? Find someone whose list is about the same size as yours and just exchange teleseminars. You’ll be so happy with the results.

Great Blogging Call Last Night!
icon1 Pat Marcello | icon2 Blogging | icon4 10 3rd, 2008| icon31 Comment »

Had a call last night with Nancy Hults. She grilled me about blogging, and I told her tons of great stuff.

I love to do calls because I can interact with people. We don’t often get to do that. We sit in our offices (actually, mine is a corner of my bedroom, which is pretty big, but still… I digress.) and we type away or code away or video away or whatever. And NOBODY is there to connect with.

Anyway, I spilled my guts–again. If you enjoyed the call I did with Erik Stafford last month, this one may be even better. I encourage you to go and listen to the replay:

The replay details…

Bridgeline: 712-432-6190

Passcode: 58643#

recording code: 114#

You won’t regret listening. If you’re interested in ways to make your blog better, in ways to make it profitable, and ways to make it search engine friendly, grab a pen and some paper and dial in.

And enjoy!

There’s a pretty cool offer at the end of the call, too. Worth $100 to you. So… check it out.

If you’re an affiliate marketer or if you have your own product to sell, teleseminars are great!  They help build your list and make you more money than if you just send plain emails.

Why?

Because they “showcase” the product, the product owner, or you. People tend to trust people they know, rather than just words on a page. Right? I mean, I do much better with sales of my product (Blogging4Boomers.com) when I do a teleseminar. People automatically see that I know my stuff, and they feel comfortable asking me questions that I can summon quick and easy answers for. And they get to know me better. I LOVE teleseminars.

You should, too.

They’re very easy to set up with a great tool called “InstantTeleseminar.Com.” I just tell the software when I want to have the teleseminar, add some customized options, and BOOM! It’s ready to go. The best feature is that people can listen on the Web as well as on the telephone, which saves big charges for people in Asia and Europe. Skype is pretty awesome, but some folks don’t like to tie up their phone. That’s cool with InstantTeleseminar

Anyway, if you want to get people interested in a product, there’s no better way to do it than by having a teleseminar. Well… except live on-stage, maybe. But in lieu of that, teleseminars are awesome.

Well… all good plans and such…

Tonight was to be my big call with Stephen Pierce… the one I’ve been looking forward to for months. But, fate intervened.

Something important came up.

The woman I work with in his office decided to have a baby. Well, the baby decided to be born, which is great! All my best goes out to her and her child.

However, the call tonight has to be postponed until another time.

Bummer.

But a big yay on the baby front!

I’ll keep you posted on the new date and time.

Ted Demop Rules!
icon1 Pat Marcello | icon2 Blogging | icon4 03 28th, 2008| icon3No Comments »

Wow! Had one of the best calls on blogging in the series last night. People who are hardcore bloggers know who he is, but new people and people who have only started learning about the blogosphere probably haven’t heard the name “Ted Demopolous,” though he’s a long-time Netizen and well-respected consultant. He’s also written a couple of books on blogging, which is how I came to contact and meet him.

Anyway…

Ted was my special guest last night on the Blogging4Boomers.com teleseminar series and he gave an incredible amount of information to my members. He talked about positioning, writing content, social interaction and a whole lot more.

One thing that I found most interesting, and what not many people who blog for business remember is that you shouldn’t be selling from your blog. The way Ted put it, “I don’t make money from my blog. I make money because of my blog.” The idea being that when you write great content, people see you as the expert and they follow you and buy your products. But your blog can also get you offers — for consulting, for joint venturing, and so on. People “know” you by the way you write.

Very cool. And very true.

If you want to get in on the replay of Ted’s call, just go to Blogging4Boomers.com and sign up for the series. There is a replay page, but only for list members. Ted also gave a pretty sweet bonus.

I’ll be putting the call up this weekend. Sign up now so you’ll be able to check it out.
