Filed under: Joint Ventures, Law of Attraction, Members Opportunities, Personal Development, Social Network Sites
Don’t you love a person who responds to a challenge with one of her own? Well that’s Amanda Robins has done. You see Amanda was the lucky winner of thousands of dollars of information products a.k.a. “Janet’s Decluttering Frenzy Treasure Trove” and I challenged her to video herself opening the gifts and tell us all what she was going to do with them all. Well she took it one step further. Watch the video below to see the challenge Amanda has made to YOU. Will you take Amanda’s Decluttering Random Acts of Kindness Challenge?
If you do, let me know via video, voice recording, photo, facebook, twitter, comment here on the blog or even just drop me an email and i will promote you here on my blog and elsewhere.
Go on, are you going to take the challenge?
Cheers

How to use the # tag on twitter (and chat to others while you listen to our tele-seminars)
Filed under: Facebook, Featured Speakers, Social Network Sites
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:
www.twitter.com
www.tweetchat.com
Nancy’s free report: “Why Social Networking: 4 Remarkable Strategies to Grow Your Business, Expand Your Referral Network, and Increase Your Visibility”
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
Step 2: Log in and see all the chatter happening
Step 3. Click on the search link at the bottom of the twitter page
Step 4: search on #wwwomen
Step 5: See where all the really cool people from Wonderful Web Women hang out. Remember, make sure you add #wwwomen to any conversations you have about Wonderful Web Women, especially when you are on one of our tele-seminars, so your conversations will show up here too.
Another option:
Instead of Using Search, you can try Tweet chat
Step 1: Log into www.tweetchat.com
Step 2: search for #wwwomen
Step 3: Hang out where the really cool people are
(make sure you add #wwwomen to your comments so you show up here as well)

Next Free Tele-Class If you’re not using social networking tools like Facebook and Twitter yet it’s probably because you don’t really understand how incredibly powerful these tools are to grow your business. If you don’t know how to use them strategically you can end up wasting an awful amount of time and even worse, losing potential customers instead of attracting them.
Next week I interview Nancy Marmolejo who is a world recognised expert in using social media to boost your business. All I can say is….BE THERE

Creative Ideas For Active Forums

Last week we held an open mastermind session to brainstorm ideas on how to create an active and really useful forum. You see, we have just recruited some wonderful forum moderators from our community who are enthusiastic about creating a vibrant place on www.wonderfulwebforum.com for people to help each other succeed.
You can read about being a moderator here. As an extra bonus, we are creating a special mastermind area for our moderators so they can share ideas, communicate and get direct help from our team. This should all be set up in a few days ready for our moderators to start.
Here are some ideas we came up with to create a buzz on the forum. I’d love to hear your input: Read more
7 step-recipe to turn an article into Web 2.0 Traffic
Filed under: Article Marketing, Facebook, Featured Speakers, How To Get Traffic, Internet Basics, Podcasting, Social Network Sites, blogging
Over the last few weeks we have heard from a few speakers about different ways to use social networking to grow your business on the Internet. Today, Michele Pariza Wacek showed us how to tie it all together into a Web 2.0 strategy.
Over the next week I will be sharing with you a few of the concepts Michele introduced. Today I’d like to share with you a concept that is close to my heart - “Leverage”.
Michele’s 7 step recipe for Web 2.0 traffic
Raw Ingredients:
Prepare beforehand: 1 great quality article, 500 words in length that gives great content on your topic
Step 1: Include your article in your email newsletter / ezine.
- Send your newsletter at least once per month. Michele recommends once per week
- This develops a relationship with people on your list
- Your blog is central to your Web 2.0 strategy.
- Blogs are favoured by educated, affluent people (ie, good paying customers)
- Use Wordpress software on your own domain (free with Wonderful Web Hosting). Michele also has a hosting and blog facility for $100 / yr. Her contact details are below)
- You can actually import your blog into Facebook in the notes section of your profile
- Facebook gets more traffic than Google and the average age is 39 (not all teenagers)
- I have just added this to my Facebook account. Be my friend? I’ll show you later this week on this blog how I did this.
- Use these tasty morsels to answer questions in blog posts and forums
- Post these answers on other people’s blogs as comments
- simply record yourself reading your article (use an MP3 recorder or record straight onto your computer)
- Add the audio to your BLOG using a wordpress plug in for podcasts (search Google for wordpress plugins)
- You can then take the podcast “feed” information that is given to you through this podcast plug in, and submit it to podcast directories such as itunes (search Google for podcast directories)
- Use the 500 words you have written and create a press release
- submit this to press release directories on the Internet
- This will get you traffic but importantly will get you noticed in the mainstream media
- Spread the love. Your original 500 word article can now be submitted to websites that let people use your article on their own websites (with links back to your site of course)
You can grab this here, and she even has a 4 part payment plan. After you purchase, email Michele at michele (at) michelepw.com and tell her you are from Wonderful Web Women. She will send you a $50 refund and also send you her digital book “Why Isn’t My Web Site Making Me Any Money? 10 Easy Steps To Make Your Web Site Go Ka-Ching!”.
You receive the digital version immediately and the physical version within the week.
I’d love to hear of your ideas on this strategy. Watch the blog this week. I’ll be sharing with you screen grabs of how I added this blog to Facebook and also Michele’s 3 reasons why people use the Internet (you must cover at least 2 to succeed).
Cheers
Janet
