Mari Smith Facebook Diana Walker Alex Mandossian

I (Diana Walker) first met Mari Smith in May 2008 in Vancouver – at Hilton Hotel in Richmond, BC, Canada, at an Internet Marketing weekend of training and socializing and networking.

Mari-Smith-Diana-Walker-Alex-Mandossian-May-2008 Internet Marketing Social Media

Mari-Smith-Diana-Walker-Alex-Mandossian-May-2008 Internet Marketing Social Media

Facebook was fairly new, Twitter was very new at that time.

Alex Mandossian was providing Internet Marketing training and asked if anyone had questions.  I asked about Twitter.  I had just signed up for Twitter a few weeks before.  Then Alex asked the group of about 200 people, who was using Twitter.  Only a few hands went up.  I was one of them, but I certainly did not understand the potential for it then.  Of course, Mari Smith did and she sent me one of my first Tweets!

I wish I had had my photo taken with Mari that day – but this is a photo I took of Mari and Alex, and then I had the photo of Alex and myself taken at the same Workshop in Vancouver, May 2008.

Who would have known how incredibly popular Facebook would become?  I soon learned more from Mari Smith and other leaders through webinars, teleconferences, and in person training.

As you know, Facebook and other Social Media change rapidly.  Earning money on the internet is not easy. However, Mari Smith is the leading expert in this, and has an upcoming course that may interest you.

The Education/Course is called “Facebook Money Mastery”  If you would like to learn more about how to take your business to new levels with Facebook, this could be the course for you.

Remember to check out this Course that is offered by Mari Smith.  Mari is the “Go-To Person” for Facebook Marketing strategies….—–>Facebook Money Mastery

Here is an excerpt from her bio:  “I created my own online business back in 1999, based on the relationship marketing principles that are sweeping Facebook’s success into the stratosphere today. And since immersing myself in social media since 2007, I’ve had the good fortune to teach and work with thousands, including: business owners, solopreneurs — speakers, authors, coaches, consultants, celebrities — and small to mid size businesses, right the way up to Fortune 500′s all around the world!”

Content and PLR for Your Business

Content and PLR for Your Business

Content is one of the most important keys to your business.  By “content” I mean your words, your photos, your audio, and your video. How you get your message across to others is so important.

The very best Content and PLR that I know of comes from my good friend Alice Seba.  I first met Alice online in 2005 and then met her in person many times in Vancouver.  I also interned with Alice in 2010.  She was wonderful to work with. I have a photo from one of our meetups with 3 of us, Internet Marketing Entrepreneurs – friends of mine – Vera Raposa, Diana Walker and Alice Seba

Vera Raposa Diana Walker Alice Seba Internet Marketers

Do you know what PLR means?  It means Private Label Rights.  This is one way you can buy content and have your own rights to the wording in that content.  Paying a ghost-writer to write the impeccable material that comes through Alice’s assistants, would cost you thousands and thousands of dollars.  During January 2012 – right now – you get 50% off!

Buy the very best Content and PLR here:  Diana Walker Recommends Content and PLR

It takes a lot of time and energy to create great content.  PLR Content Made Easy Now you can purchase the rights to very detailed and accurate content through PLR.  Of course you will need to re-word some of it to make it your own, but it is so helpful for us to be able to help our newsletter subscribers and website readers to learn easily what we are about.

How To Choose the Right Domain Name

How To Choose the Right Domain Name as part of your Internet Marketing Education

Whether you are launching an online business or you have simply decided to add an online counterpart to a brick and mortar business, you’ll find that one of the first things that you need to consider is your domain name.

Your domain name will be the address that your clients type in to find you, and you’ll find that having a good domain name can make all the difference when you are considering drawing in customers and making your business a success. Take a look below for some important tips when it comes to making sure that your domain name is right for you.

The first thing that you have to keep in mind is that the shorter your domain name is the better. A short name that is hard to misspell is ideal. While it might be cheaper, don’t pick up names that have very long “tails.” Stick with the commonly known suffixes, like .com, .net or .org. You’ll find that this will go a long way towards making your domain name more searchable. Similarly, don’t underestimate the amount of type in traffic you might get; a short, easy to remember domain name is essential in this case.

Think about what the name of your company is. When you run it together, does it make an attractive domain name? Be on the lookout for words that are fine apart but break up into silly or embarrassing things if you run them together. You may find that you need to sit down and brainstorm to get a good URL. Take some time to list as many words that go along with your business as possible and try to find a way to match them. Brainstorming gets all the ideas from your mind down onto paper, it’s a great way to start the process going.


Try to use words that are “normal” or that people use all the time. While you might like an odd spelling or have an exotic word in mind, you’ll find that this can often work against you. Take the time to make sure that your domain name isn’t too odd; run it by your friends and family and see if they can spell it right away. Creating a domain name that people can’t spell or when there’s numbers in it can defeat the purpose of having a memorable name.

Perhaps the most important thing that you need to make sure that the name flows together. Remember that an acronym, while it is short, may not be easy to remember, unless the acronym itself spells out a related word. Remember that even a long string of words, as long as they are memorable can make a good domain name, so keep that in mind when you are selecting yours. There are many different options out there waiting for you, so take the time to come up with a domain name that you like and that represents you. Also be sure to run it by others to see what their thoughts are on your new domain name.

LIST BUILDING WEBINAR

  • Without this, you’re at the mercy of Google or Facebook to get web traffic to your site.
  • Without this, you’ll have a tough time selling to cold prospects.
  • Without this, you won’t have much of an audience for your special offers and campaigns.
  • Without this, well, you don’t have a business.

Mailing Lists and List Building are Not Dead!

I’m talking about a mailing list.
(Email List Building —–> http://dianarecommends.aweber.com

A Mailing List is a database of people who are interested in what you offer
– enough to have given you their contact information.

It can be intimidating for a beginner to put up a mailing list for the first time. And even if you already have a mailing list, you often wonder, “How can I get more people to sign up for my list?”

Or, “After they sign up, what do I do next?”

My friend and mentor Kelly McCausey of Solo Masterminds is hosting a complimentary webinar on how to start your first mailing list. It’ll be on Monday, October 17th, 11 am Eastern.

Audio on Your Website: Video on your Website

Diana Walker Recommends – Audio Acrobat Service for all your Audio and Video needs

If you are a website owner, you owe it to yourself to make your website as tempting as you can. This will hold your traffic once it gets to your site and keeps them from rushing on to find something else. Audio and video can be added to your website as well as your emails.

The first thing about selecting the audio you want to post on your website is finding the one that you want. This is as simple as choosing the one you want from the list you have recorded. Then you customize the play button and paste the HTML in your website. You are ready to go. How much simpler can it get?

With the audio that is now on your website, you have something more than a boring page that is reliant upon color to spice it up. You actually have someone who talks to your prospective customers and this can make a difference when they are weighing options on the site to go with for their needs. That is a very good reason that many people use Audio Acrobat. This is the best ‘get acquainted’ method there is available for you and your prospective clients.

When you decide to use an audio on your website, you can actually make your own. Shoot a video, using audio, set it up on your website and see how many people respond to this new way of explaining your business.

This is also beneficial when it comes to training programs. Since it is quite easy to do, you can have an audio presentation explaining all the aspects of the training for your product with the results that are to be expected. People will respond to this type of a training program far better than trying to concentrate on just written words.

Did you know that you have automatic updates for your audio program? You do not have to learn how to update the audio on your site every time you want to change something. This is one of the benefits of having Audio Acrobat. Not only can you have automatic updates, but you can replace any audio on your site from your telephone, your computer (with a microphone), or an audio file can be uploaded.

This is definitely an improvement on the standard way of getting the message across to clients you already have or prospective ones. You know as well as your customers do that boring does not sell. If you bore your audience to death, all they want to do is get away from the site. However, by using audio you make them want to stay and hear what you have to say.

One of the main ways of finding out if something is worth trying out in the first place is to test it on your family and friends. If they go for it and seem to like the improved way better than the old way, more than likely it is a good idea and will be widely accepted by your clients. After all, the main reason for having a website in the first place is to generate the traffic that it needs to make it successful.

P.S. – Audio and Video are key elements in your business success.  I have utilized this service — Audio and Video Service Diana Walker Recommends – since September 2006 – so for almost 6 years now, and love using it.  The training they provide is spectacular, and right from the beginning I was recording my TeleClasses, and my personal audio messages for people.  Now I also use Video and have been since May 2008 and I hope you will see if this is something you would like to learn too.

Internet Entrepreneurs Meet In Real Life

Diana Walker Alice Seba Vera Raposa Melody Thacker Internet Entrepreneurs

Diana Walker Alice Seba Vera Raposa Melody Thacker Internet Entrepreneurs

I am so fortunate to have made friends with 3 ladies who I admire very much and who have successful online internet careers.  The reason I am posting this today is that I keep in touch with all 3 of these friends – and tomorrow Melody Thacker will be traveling through Salmon Arm (where I live now) on her way to Alberta – so we are meeting up for lunch.  I love how these friendships and relationships continue.

The photo above was taken in Vancouver in 2008. Diana Walker – on the left – with Alice Seba, Vera Raposo, and Melody Thacker.  We originally met in about 2005 online – so all conversations were conducted in our hidden exclusive forum for learning internet marketing, blogging, earning money on the internet.

We became friends online first, and then we met in person several times, in the Vancouver area.  The online forum was for all of us interested in learning how to work from home and work over the internet to make a difference in other people’s lives and also earn a living with our internet skills.  These ladies have been my mentors, my inspiration and my friends.

I would love to keep in touch with you, and by submitting the form below, you will receive updates and tips on how to be successful online, like these successful friends of mine!

Wishing you Success!

Canada Marketing Summit Vancouver #3

Canada Marketing Summit 2010 Vancouver   This is Day 3 of the Canada Marketing Summit in Vancouver BC Canada.  Social Marketing and Social Media will be featured this morning.

Diana Walker Maritza Parra Canada Marketing Summit 2010

Diana Walker Maritza Parra Canada Marketing Summit 2010

Martiza Parra and Diana Walker first “met” on a teleconference call about Setting Goals for 2010 — on New Years Eve January 1 2010!

This was when I heard Maritza’s story of how she appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show – and how she has created her lifestyle, and motivates others to do the same.

Maritza teaches us the full spectrum of Social Media Marketing and how to get ourselves known on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and other social media sites, and tie those back into our own blog.

I have been a student of Maritza Parra for almost a year now, and have learned so much.  She is the first speaker of the day today, September 25th – and I was able to get a photo with Maritza yesterday (above).

I also had the privilege of meeting Maritza’s mom Luz Parra – and got a photo yesterday when they had just arrived in by place to Vancouver.

It is so wonderful to be connecting with other entrepreneurs and learning and networking.  I’m looking forward to another terrific day – and will take more photos!  Mark Victor Hansen is featured speaker this afternoon.
