Today I had the pleasure of interviewing Deb LaQua about automating a new Internet business. This was a great call for people who are new to Internet Marketing and are overwhelmed by the sheer amount there is to learn. She shares where to start and had a great piece of advice: “concentrate on what you need to do next and just do it. You don’t have to learn everything before you start because by the time you get around to implementing the more advanced strategies, everything will have changed anyway”. Such great advice for the many people who feel they have to understand everything about building an Internet business before they start. So just do it!

Deb had a great way of explaining the important steps you need to consider to make sure your web site provides a great buying experience for your customer. She relates it to the perfect buying experience you have when you go into a shop. I don’t know about you, but great buying experiences in shops are far less common that terrible ones.

Let’s walk through the ideal buying experience……

This week I was fortunate to interview Sharla Jacobs about how she has helped thousands of “heart-based” business owners build their practices into six figure businesses.

(You can find out more about Sharla here and also listen to the interview in the gold members’ area of Wonderful Web Women.)

Sharla shared some great ideas on how to answer the question “What do you do?”

It is quite common for people to answer this question with details on HOW you deliver services. Eg “I interview the most successful women on the internet on live webcasts to learn how to grow a successful business” or “I run workshops and work with clients one-on-one to help them reach their goals”.

The problem with this type of response is it doesn’t answer the question that is really in their mind which is “What in it for me?”

Sharla suggested you rephrase the question in your mind to be “How do you help people?”, rather than “What do you do?”

Because really, you are in business to help people after all.

A useful Template to Use

Sharla shared a template you can use which helps to get your “elevator pitch” clear in a way that really answers the question “how you help”. Read more

How to use the # tag on twitter (and chat to others while you listen to our tele-seminars)

Here is a really handy tip for using Twitter which was shared with us by Nancy Marmolejo on an awesome interview today. I love it so much, I suggest we use it during every interview we do with Wonderful Web Women.
So let me tell you what it is, why it is great and how to make the most of it…..

What is a hash tag?

If you aren’t a member of www.twitter.com yet then get over there and sign up. It’s free and it is shaping the future of marketing on the Internet. Be warned. It’s addictive.

Basically you share 140 character “tweets” with others on what you are doing, thoughts you have, questions, business tips, links to blog posts etc.

You may notice at the end of some posts people add something like # followed by a word or letters. This is called a hash tag. For example, the new tag we use for Wonderful Web Women is #wwwomen

So why is a hash tag great?

Twitter can get very busy and it is hard to find the actual conversation threads you are looking for. Once you know a hash tag you can search for all tweets that use that hash tag so you can continue a conversation with people with the same interests (or on the same tele-seminar). It’s like tuning into the right radio station when all you heard before was white noise.

Below here, I show you step by step how to sign up for twitter, search on a hash tag and join a conversation. It’s really pretty easy.

How to make the most of it

Every time we have a life tele-seminar with Wonderful Web Women from now on, we will have a parallel conversation happening on twitter. That way I can concentrate on doing a great interview and answering the questions you send you through to me on the web cast page. You can be taking notes but also sharing ideas, asking questions and sharing tips with other people who are on the call listening. How cool is that?

That way you can all help each other make the most of what you are learning. There is also a great chance you will find your next client or joint venture partner on twitter during these conversations.

Convinced? Give it a go and see what you think.

There are 4 web addresses that will help you:

1. www.twitter.com

2. www.tweetchat.com

3. Nancy’s free report:
“Why Social Networking: 4 Remarkable Strategies to Grow Your Business, Expand Your Referral Network, and Increase Your Visibility”

4. Nancy’s excellent product to automate heaps of the stuff you do on twitter and facebook so you look busy when you aren’t

Now, step by step photos on how to do this. It is really very easy.

Step 1: Join Twitter
