I am so grateful to Jo Martin who helped me prepare for my debut at platform selling. You see I have spoken in public before and am not too fazed by it but I have never had the challenge of presenting for 60 minutes and then offering a home study coaching program at the end which is valued at $1497. Like everything, there is a system to follow to do this well and Jo is one of the best teachers of this system. Let me share with you a couple of things I learned from Jo and how it worked when I had the chance to put it into action when I was invited to present at the Bridging Heart and Marketing Conference in Los Angeles.
Why present and sell from the platform anyway?
Jo shared during our interview that presenting from the stage is one of the most effective ways to attract new customers to her web sites and importantly, convert them to buying customers. This is why:
Meeting people in person, talking and shaking hands is a far more effective way of creating relationships than is ever possible via telephone and email.
Because you are a presenter and not just a delegate, you are established as an expert in your niche.
People who attend conferences are usually serious about learning and so are pre-qualified customers - they are more likely to be interested in what you have to offer
You have a whole 60 minutes to show these pre-qualified customers that you know your stuff and are able to help them get where they want to go.
People who attend conferences are usually able to pay for your products and services. Even if the conference is free or low cost, most still have to pay for accomodation, food and travel.
This is one I underestimated the power of until my first presentation. Potential customers have the opportunity to meet existing customers of yours and hear first hand what your service is like. So you better make sure you have looked after your customers because they will let others know over lunch!
Judith and Jim (organisers of Bridging Heart and Marketing Conference) asked for a show of hands for people in the audience who are members of Wonderful Web Women - about a quarter of the room put their hands up!
How to structure your presentation
Jo Martin is an incredible source of practical knowledge. When you sign up for Jo’s free information, she has a whole section that shows you step by step how to structure your presentation. I followed this exactly and I suggest you start there.
It doesn’t matter if you are presenting to the local business group of 20 people or a conference of thousands, you still use the same structure. It is logical to follow and like all good systems, tested to work.
Keep It Simple
One of the best tips Jo shared with me was to simpify my content into 3 to 5 steps. No more than 5. If you are like me, you have so many stories to tell and knowlege to share that you want to squeeze as much in as possible. The trouble with this is the poor listener gets information overload, can’t take in any more and either tunes out or tries to learn it all and gets stressed.
It just doesn’t work. With Jo’s guidance I was able to simplify my teaching by grouping content under 3 headings, “Passion, People and Profit”. So much easier for people to digest. So instead of an all-you-can-eat-buffet the audience gets a 3 course meal with each course selected to complement each other (as you can tell by my analogy I’ve been eating well here!).
How to get Jo’s help
Jo has put together an excellent, step by step mentoring program which is very affordable and has made a special offer just for our members (that means you).

PS
Our thoughts go out to our members who may have been affected by the tragic LA train crash and the large areas damaged by Hurricane Ike in Southern and Central US. We send you our love.
Why would you want to be on the first page of Google anyway? Google is the most popular search engine people use when they are looking for information (or products) on the Internet. If you can get on the first page of Google, you are pretty well guarantted to be high on the other search engines as well.
If you can be in the first 10 listings (out of often millions) for term people are searching for, then you are much more likely to get people clicking on the link to your site that is listed in Google. That means heaps of potential customers to your site - for free.
Cheryline Lawson has perfected a method to get your site listed on the first page of Google very fast, and multiple times. She uses techniques that many marketers are using separately and found the perfect way to combine them to really leverage the results. It’s the classic - “the sum of the parts is greater than the whole”, or however that saying goes
Press releases are written differently to articles. They should be used to promote something new. It may be the launch of a product, launch of your blog, an event that is happening online or offline or a comment on something topical. Cheryline shared details on how many words to include, how to use keywords and where to submit your release. I’ll share details this week and Gold members can download the recording in a few hours as well.
Social Bookmarking
If you have a look at this blog you will see there is a line of images called social bookmarks at the bottom of each post. These are web sites that people sign up for and list topics they would like to receive the most recent info on. You can submit your new press release to these book marking sites so people who want info on your topic will be notified. Even better, Google loves these sites as they rank highly (greater than 5 out of 10) for Google Page Rank. A site with a page rank of 10 gets the most visitors, a site with a page rank of 0, hardly gets noticed.
Blogs
Google loves blogs. You don’t paste your press release to your blog. You use different content and write short articles on specific topics in your niche. Cheryline finds writing reviews of products you are promoting as an affiliate works better than a general article. Creating blogs is also a great way to test the popularity of topics as you canbcreate ablog on each topic and measure the success without committing to a whole website and intensive blog.
RSS aggregators
An RSS feed basically means that the content you have written on your blog gets sent out to the search engnes immediately, and in a no-frills package which they love. Aggregators basically collect RSS feeds on specific topics and make it easy for people (and search engines) to get the info quickly. You can submit your blog to heaps of different aggregators just once, and then they will be updated everytime you update your blog. An example is Feedburner . Cheryline has included a long lists of the best aggregators which you can gradually submit your blog details to.
The main basis of this model is to write content (as Press releases or articles) and then subit them to web sites that have a very high page rank. This means you will have high ranking sites linking back to you. These sites are the press release directories, the social book marking sites and the RSS aggregators. Simple but powerful when they are all combined.
Well, I say simple, but the important part to master is how to write the content in a way that search engines like and whwre and how to submity this content to the highest ranking sites so you can get links back to you. This is where Cheryline’s book comes into. She has done an incredible amount of research and documented it all. I’d hate to think how long it would take me to trial and test all this myself. Much faster to follow her steps in her book and get the results without the hard slog of researching. Thanks Cheryline!
Watch out this week as I share even more info. Gold members of Wonderful Web Women I really recommend you listen to the recording with a pen and paper - you’ll take heaps of notes.
If you were on the call today with Cheryline Lawson I hope you took heaps of notes! Cheryline shared with us the method she has tested and perfected to get web sites ranked on the first page of Google in a matter of hours. But not just one place. She has shown how to get your site listed on the first page multiple times and how to stay there.
We covered a lot of advanced stuff so I will give an overview of her method today and over the rest of the week I will share with you more details on each step here on the blog. Actually spreading your blog content over many days, instead of all at once is one of the techniques Cheryline shares.
Cheryline’s book and her generous bonuses are excellent value and I do recommend you get them. Cheryline is very much a detail person and her book takes you step by step through the techniques she uses, with an incredible amount of links to the sites she recommends and detailed proof on how it works. I have read through the book and am so impressed with the level of detail.
I suggest when you get it, you print it out, use a high-lighter and write yourself a to-do list as you go. Then break that to-do list up into bite size pieces because as Cheryline stressed, you don’t have to do it all at once. Work through the steps gradually and each step will get you results.
So here goes folks, Cheryline’s detailed method to dominating the front page of Google…..see this next post.
I’m really excited about next week. Our speaker Cheryline Lawson is a quiet achiever who has methodically discovered the way to get to the first page of Google. She contacted me a while ago to ask for help to let people know and my first response was “I really need to see proof that this works”.
Cheryline used her technique on a web site I have that I haven’t really marketed and doesn’t rank. The results were amazing. She took screen grabs of Google every few hours and I watched as my web site climbed the rankings - and stayed there. This is your opportunity to be one of the first people on the Internet to learn this technique. Make sure you can be on the call next week!
You know, I had never heard of soft sell marketing until last year but without realising it, I have built a business based on these principles. Since then I have been witnessing a quiet revolution happening in the way people respond to sales letters and email techniques used on the Internet - and I find it very exciting.
Instead of describing these changes in an article, I’d like to share with you a gift.
Recording of 2 interviews of a panel of soft sell specialists. The calls are not just informative, they are inspiring. The panel members will all be presenting at the Bridging Heart and Marketing Conference.
Here are some of the topics discussed:
What is soft sell marketing?
How do I know what to sell on the Internet that is aligned with my integrity?
How to I know how much to charge
Is there a link between business and spirituality
How to structure your web site and shopping cart to build relationships
Yesterday I was fortunate to interview Kirsty Dunphey. We had some terrible problems with the line so the recording has some weird bits in it, but excellent gems in amongst the buzzing! Kirsty shared her story of retiring when she was just 27. She had some real “take-away” attitude gems that I would like to share with you.
Kirsty grew up as a true entrepreneur in a family of business people.
A great example of her early entrepreneurial spirit was organising a birthday party for herself at 5 years of age, so she could score great presents. Only problem was, it wasn’t her birthday!
Interestingly, her wonderful business parent role models also gave her the resolve to be differ
