Cathy Goodwin has been providing copywriting and online marketing consultation to clients for several years. She specializes in helping solo-preneurs who want to get more clients and sell more products by standing out from the competition and promoting their unique skills, talents and awesomeness. She is especially passionate about helping solo-preneurs simplify their marketing to get results from the Internet without losing their sanity or their bank accounts.

Cathy brings a unique perspective to online marketing because she was a college professor in her previous life. She honed her teaching skills with students at all levels, from undergraduate to executive graduate programs. She also developed analytical skills that she uses when consulting with clients who want to survive the Internet jungle. At the same time, she performs stand-up comedy and has performed in improv shows, so she doesn’t exactly fit the stereotype of the serious ivory-tower academic.

Cathy is a published author and accomplished public speaker. Her first website on the Internet, MidlifeCareerStrategy, remains focused on midlife career change. She learned copywriting and internet marketing to promote her website and the rest is history.

Cathy believes that copywriting is the foundation of marketing. Creating your marketing materials will lead to your most effective strategy and brand. And she further believes that there are few “musts” in marketing: choose your strategy based on your personality, style, talents and preferences.

5 Easy Tweaks You Can Make Immediately to Build Your Brand

Branding your service business is essential to attract clients who want to work with you and get consistent results from your promotions. Often branding gets presented as a kind of woo-woo, mystical process or else as a combination of colors and symbols. The truth is, your brand begins with your message, and your message begins when you create your marketing campaign.

We will discuss these 5 strategic tweaks that will help you create a stand-out brand:

Dr. MaryJo Wagner, author of the forthcoming Kindle book series, Stop Thinking and Make More Money works with coaches, authors, and online marketers to stop self-sabotage. So they can . . . Make. More. Money.

Once the reigning queen of shooting oneself in one’s foot, MaryJo has spent twenty-five years mastering fun and simple strategies to help her get unstuck, move forward, and keep moving forward. Now her passion is showing YOU how to get unstuck, move forward, and keep moving forward.

Whether you’re a newbie or just wanting to take your biz to the next level, MaryJo has excellent perceptive and intuitive skills at hearing what’s going on with YOU that’s affecting YOUR business. She’s dedicated to helping you discover those often-buried unconscious beliefs that can instantly derail your business.

MaryJo also has a bunch of quick, easy tricks up her sleeve that don’t involve thinking, but help you . . . get unstuck, move forward, and keep moving forward. They’re so effective that some of her clients call them “magic.” We’ll be doing three of them today on her StarPower presentation.

In addition to expertise in online marketing, she’s certified in Brain Gym and Heart Math, studied Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), Energy Medicine, Holistic Memory Resolution, and many other modalities that she uses to help you . . . Make. More. Money.

Many of us sabotage making sales, getting new clients, and making more money in our business. We all know the reasons: procrastination, overwhelm, distractions, indecision, lack of focus, self-doubt, feeling stuck, etc.

I’m guessing you can say “yes” to at least a couple things on this list. But, you’d be making more money in your business if you could say “no” to everything on the list!

Bottom line, most of these common forms of self-sabotage are rooted in negative thinking. Change negative thinking to positive thinking and self-sabotage goes away.

So it’s easy. Just replace negative thinking with positive thinking. Oops, wrong! The problem is that thinking about anything simply causes you to think more about it. And that goes for negative thinking.

But there’s a solution, and I’m going to show you what it is. You’ll be surprised at how easy it is to stop negative thinking and how fast you can do it. Do the strategies you’ll discover on the webinar. You’ll be amazed at how quickly that list of self-sabotage habits goes away.

If you want more sales, more clients and customers, and more money in your bank account, this is a webinar you’ll want to be on. On the webinar, you’ll discover exactly why trying to stop negative thoughts creates more negative thoughts.

And you’ll discover three ways to squelch negative thinking without having to think about stopping negative thinking. We’ll do them together on the webinar.

Use these three fast and easy strategies every day. You’ll soon be saying goodbye to self-sabotage.

Now you’ll welcome a business that’s moving forward and keeps moving forward.

I’m looking forward to seeing you and helping you stop sabotaging your business by thinking.

Key Performance Indicators to Make Your Website More Profitable

Peter Drucker said "You can't manage what you don't measure." Key Performance Indicators for your website are easy to get and give you the critical information you need to determine your site's strengths and weaknesses - information that can multiply your income and profits.

It's important to know how many people visit your website, but also where they came from, what content attracted them hd why they converted to a customer. Or not.

Google Analytics is one of the most universally accepted website analytics packages around, but most entrepreneurs know little about the insights that can be gleaned from it, let alone how to use that information to make profitable adjustments.

In this presentation, you will learn:

This information is just as important to a business owner as knowing what their profits and losses are because they contribute significantly to your P&L.

Kurt Scholle is a Digital Strategist to small and medium businesses helping clients make their websites more profitable and easier to manage.

Cindy Bidar is a highly sought after virtual assistant and online business manager specializing in marketing funnels and technical setup and maintenance. She's had the privilege of working with some of today’s top Internet marketers, and along the way, she's gained a valuable education. Most importantly though, she's discovered what really makes entrepreneurs and small business owners feel frustrated and overwhelmed.

Nearly everyone in business knows that the key to higher profits and more free time lies in outsourcing the tasks you don't love or don't know how to do, but the very act of hiring a virtual assistant can be overwhelming for some. It became clear to Cindy that there is a need for a knowledgeable, resourceful management team who understands marketing and is capable of stepping in to quickly bring order and efficiency to a project.

Cindy founded Digital Business Managers to fill this gap, and now she spends her time consulting with small business owners about how they can operate more efficiently, and managing a team of specialized virtual assistants who treat each project as their own.

Even heard the saying the secret to money is having some?  Well, the real secret to money is knowing where it comes from, where it goes, and what's bringing in the most money for you...the secret is to know some basic numbers...the secret is to measure  so you can make really good business decisions from a strategic standpoint and not just be throwing mud on the walls in your business.

One simple change in your everyday business strategy will bring in more money, allow you to take more time off, and transform you from the doer in your business to the business visionary again.

How to Boost Your Business with a Blog and a Book

It's possible for you to gain more customers and clients if you are a blogger and an author. A blog with an established readership and a blogger with a built-in platform represents a successfully test marketed book idea--and a platform from which to sell just about anything. And authors are always perceived as thought leaders. Rather than just blogging and then repurposing your posts into a book—called booking a blog, learn how to blog a book, to intentionally write, publish, and promote a book on the Internet using blog technology. Blogging a book is the easiest and quickest—and most efficient—way to write a book and promote it at the same time. If you can write, you can blog. That means you can blog your way to creating a successful book—one that attracts readers and publishers as well as clients and customers. You also can blog a business-boosting book or one that helps you gain expert status or authority in your field. A blog and a book provide the perfect combination for growing any business.
