This has been an incredible day – and we got to meet so many members of the wonderful Mom Mastermind Mentoring Group which I have been a member of since 2005. 

Mom Masterminds has been a huge part in my online journey and my success online, where I have made wonderful friendships and also learned so much about Internet Marketing, Blogging and Affiliate Marketing.

Internet Marketing NAMS Friends

Posted by: Diana | Comments (0)

I am getting so excited as I prepare for my upcoming trip to Atlanta, Georgia, United States, for the Niche Affiliate Marketing Seminar - abbreviated as NAMS – this is the NAMS3 – my first one.

There will be people there from every walk of life, and even students flying in from England and Australia!   So for me to travel from Vancouver, BC, Canada, is easy!

What a privilege to connect and network with people that I have “known” online for so long.  Some people have been my friends through forums, some have been my mentors, some have taught me about TeleClasses, about Blogging, about Affiliate Marketing.

I’ve been online since 2003 – but my first 2 years were a haze, and I felt like I was in a jungle.  I lost a lot of money – about $8,000 – during those first 2 years — but during the past 5 years, I have found the right people, who really love to help people, and I have benefited so much, and contributed back to them.

I just bought a new Flip Video Camera and a new Nikon Digital Camera, so my journey has already begun.  Of course I’ll take my laptop.

There’ll be 150 students, and 20 Instructors.

Amazing Fact – 60 of us belong to the Elite Mentoring Group – with Lynn Terry – I can’t wait to meet Lynn, and of course the 60 other people that I know from the Forums and Webinars that Lynn leads.

Can’t wait to be with a group of Internet Marketers, make new friends, and connect with friends I have already met online, and now I will meet in person!

My journey started in 2003 – and 6 years later, I’m ready to intensively immerse myself for 3 days with the best of the best – people who have taken action in their own lives and are willing to teach us.

How great is that?  My favorite part is that I get to meet and network with friends I have made during the past 6 years on the internet.  Some of the instructors are people who I “met” any time during the past 6 years.  I have been on their teleclasses, their forums, and purchased Training Courses from many of them.

Amongst the attendees will be many friends I have made over the internet – particularly friends from the Elite Brainstorming Group I belong to.

Easy Website Builder Review

Site Builder Features:

There are many features to the site builder and the full list is available at http://www.dianarecommends.com/easy_website_builder.html , but some of the most noteworthy ones are:

  • Ready-made templates and layouts: There are over 1000 to choose from. You can use them as-is or customize them to suit your needs.
  • Editor allows you to use WYSWG (“What you see is what you get”) format that allows for easy formatting, copying and pasting. An HTML editor is also available for more technical users.

Thoughts on the Site Builder:

The site builder is very easy-to-use and is suitable for those with no online experience and who want to get a website set up quickly and economically.  Instead of having to rely on a web designer’s high price tag and schedule, it allows business owners to keep full control of their websites and make quick updates and more.

Things to Keep in Mind:

This is a web-based site builder program and you need to be connected to the Internet to use it. It also does not allow for installation of any special scripts (though javascript code CAN be inserted into pages), but much of the functionality you’d need in a website is included.

Perks:

The site builder comes with a free 10-day trial, so you have ample opportunity to see if it’s the right site-building tool for you. It also comes with price protection, so if the price ever goes up, you never have to pay more than when you signed up.

Why it is Smart to Have a Newsletter for Your Customers Using an Autoresponder System

If you are in a business which is very customer oriented, or if you simply want to make sure that your customers stay on top of the various changes that you have made to your products or what services you offer, you’ll find that a newsletter might be one of the most powerful tools that you have at your disposal. While some companies come out with a newsletter every week, others make a longer one that comes out every month. Some will only do quarterly newsletters. If you have an interest in putting together a newsletter for your clients, you’ll find that there are plenty of advantages to doing so!

Keep Customers Informed

The first and most obvious thing that a newsletter will do is keep your clients informed. Your clients are in a position where they might not check your site regularly. You’ll find that while they might have an interest in what you do, they are significantly more likely to keep up with what is going on if you give them a chance to get updates from you. Whether they have bought from you in the past, or whether have considered it, a newsletter gives them a chance to make use of you in the future. It will remind them of who you are and it brings them back to your website on a regular basis.

Customer Loyalty – Rewards

You’ll also find that a newsletter is important when you want to reward things like customer loyalty. You can make sure that your customers are notified of sales before the general populace is, and you can even give them deals that are not available to anyone else. When you have a newsletter, you’ll find that the readership is just one step away from being preferred customers, so take the time to make sure that they feel as though they are being rewarded for reading. By keeping them informed they will reward you with coming back to your site and even purchasing your products.

Talk to Your Customers

When you put together a newsletter for your customers, you are essentially getting a chance to talk to them. You can tell them about what your business has been doing, what changes it has been making and what you are hoping to do in the future.

Feedback from Your Customers

You will also find that a newsletter can provide you with a chance to get feedback. You can ask a question and ask them to respond, and you can also tailor your products to what information they have to give you. You can address their concerns and make them feel that you really care about what they have to say. This is a super easy way to stay connected with your subscribers.

A newsletter is an important way to make sure that you stay in touch with your customers, so take the time to make sure that you put one together. This is your opportunity to stay in touch, talk with them, develop a relationship, and build your income at the same time.

You will need an easy, effective, affordable Autoresponder system to deliver your newsletters. Be sure to check out the program Diana recommends: Aweber Autoresponder System

Keeping Your Website Fresh

Posted by: Diana | Comments (0)

DIME — DIANA’S INTERNET MARKETING EDUCATION

KEEPING YOUR WEBSITE FRESH – HOW DO I MAKE A WEBSITE?

Websites with broken links and out dated information, die very quickly. For a website to be a success it must be well maintained, continually updated to keep up with technology, and have new and engaging content so that it meet its user’s needs. Even if the information of your website does not change there are ways to update the information and maintain the user’s interest.


Website Building IS Easy

1. Keep an eye on your site for out-of date information- Review your site often for any out-of-date information. Make sure that your product pricing is correct, and that all items listed are available. Update your company and contact information to make sure the user can contact you. Add any new information or content of a subject that is already listed on the site. This is also a good time to correct any typos or change the wording up a bit.

2. Change up the graphics - Add clearer pictures and illustrations of your products. Include decorative graphics in your content section. New images will catch the eye faster than new text. For the graphics that are already in place, make sure that they are prepared correctly so that they load quickly and display properly.

3. Click on all of your links - As you change and update your website; make sure that users can get to your new and improved sections. Click on all of the links to make sure that they are still working and going to the right page. If you have links to other websites, test the links to make sure that the website is still up and displaying the content that you want to present to your users.

4. Put up new content - Post newsletters to let users know what is going on with your company. Post advertisements for sales and special offers. If your users are linked to your website through email, send out announcements whenever you make these special posts, inviting the user back to your website to see what is new.

5. Add sound or music to your website – Add appropriate sounds of music to the website so it gets the users attention as they open it up or open up different portions and pages. I use Audio Acrobat for all my audio needs.

6. Apply the use of a content management system – A Content Management System (CMS) is software that helps create, manage and edit information that is on your website. Many types of this software allow you to put content expiration dates of the articles, items, and information that you put of your website. Watch your expirations dates, and the software will remind you when it is time to freshen up your content.

7. Offer links to other websites - Put links to other websites that your users may find useful. If you are continually adding to these links, your user will come back for them.

These are just a small number of the many things that you can do to keep your website fresh. Remember to be creative and continue to look to what your users’ needs are. You will find that keeping your website up to date and fresh will reap the rewards you are looking for.

What is Twitter?

Posted by: Diana | Comments (2)

Well, I joined Twitter about 6 months ago.   It is a free service.

Sometimes it was weeks before I posted anything.  I just could not understand why anyone would be interested when I was going out for a walk, or having a smoothie!   But now I’m becoming “addicted”….  it is definitely a way to stay in touch with current online friends, and make new friends.

Now, using  Twitter as a tool for business networking is definitely the way of the future.  I am so fortunate because last night my  Mom Masterminds Mentoring Group for online mentoring  provided members with an EXCLUSIVE TeleClass about  Twitter  and I learned a lot.

I am finding that it is a great way to brainstorm and also set goals for the day, and keep myself accountable. It is like when I worked in an office, and I would have coffee breaks or lunch breaks with co-workers…. sometimes we talked about business and sometimes we chatted about what was going on in our personal lives — you know, like friends do!

If you want to try out Twitter, here is my URL  http://twitter.com/DianaWalker  and make sure you come and say Hi and Follow me (you’ll see what that means when you get there).
