* Why customizing your site is a lot easier (and more fun!) than you probably think

You need a website these days if you’re in business, right?

The truth is, hanging out on sites like Facebook and Twitter are just NOT enough.  You need to have a place to send your friends and followers OUTSIDE of those social media sites if you want the best results.

I wanted to take the opportunity to let you know about my next free call!

I’ve been using LinkedIn successfully for a long time, and teaching my private clients and the students in my Social Media Take Action Group Coaching Program how to get big results with it as well. However, lately I’ve been hearing more and more that business owners KNOW they should have a presence there (and many already do), but they’re just not sure how to REALLY use it effectively. In fact, most of them see it as one big mystery!

Well, you’re in luck!

On this call, I’ll be sharing all about how to make it work for you AND busting through some common myths that I see persisting about this super-important business network. (And if you have been on my calls before, you KNOW I always over-deliver when it comes to actionable content!)

Hope you can join us!

We all know how wonderful social media and blogging is to get our name out there in the world…heck, I built my business that way from scratch!

But I have been noticing more and more a missing piece in a lot of business owners’ marketing strategies online…and that’s building a list! You might know that it’s important, but do you know how to do it effectively AND inexpensively? If not, no worries, because that’s exactly what I’ll be teaching you in my upcoming complimentary teleseminar!

See, In order to truly THRIVE in your own business, you need to grow your list. Having a list of potential clients and customers to market to on a regular basis is the absolute KEY to making more money and enjoying more ease and freedom in your business.

I should know—because that’s exactly what happened for me!

Building my own list changed absolutely everything…and I can’t wait to share my best list-building tips and strategies with YOU on October 14!

Here’s just some of what you’ll learn on the call:

* The list-building strategies that are working best right now, and that you can begin implementing right away
* My recommendations for software and applications that systematize and automate your list-building for you
* What strategies work best when you want boosts of hundreds of people joining your list at one time
* How to continue strengthening your relationship with your subscribers once they’ve signed up, making it much more likely that they’ll buy…and a lot more!

I hope you can join me. If you can’t make the call live, it will be recorded and you will receive the audio as well as the handout—but do try to make it live in order to benefit from the special time-sensitive offer I will be introducing!

What an exciting week this week!  The article in Inc. Magazine came out:

http://www.inc.com/magazine/20100501/how-to-manage-your-own-pr.html

Mommy Millionaire interview part II and III http://www.mommymillionaire.com/radio/tag/leslie-haywood went out, the interview with Hybrid Mom http://www.hybridmom.com/articles/work-business/entrepreneur/grill-charms-essential-grilling-accessory-mom-behind-invention is up and I finally made it to Rachael Ray!!!  Okay, so I didn’t get asked to be on the show like I had dreamed of, but Grill Charm™ are in the June/July issue of Everyday With Rachael Ray!  I’m just so excited I can’t stand it!!  It’s very fitting that all this is coming out now, as I’m right in the middle of telling you how I do this stuff.  I’ll continue with more on “how to”.  (The Inc. article goes into some detail as well, but most of it you know, if you’ve been following me) 

 On with more “social media” and the new PR:

 Another trick of the trade in the 2.0 world of PR and marketing is “friend”, “fan”, “tweet” or reply to the blog of the contributors to your favorite shows and magazines.  They are much easier to access then going straight to Matt Lauer or the editor of Bon Appetite Magazine.  

Another true story:  through an urgent HARO tweet I was hooked up with a freelance writer who was working on a story for Health Magazine.  Her story (and subsequently mine) was published in the April issue.  Now she and I have become “friends”.  It’s not necessarily the editors that you want to get buddy buddy with because they work for 1 magazine.  Writers contribute to MANY media outlets (and they are a lot more accessible).  As a matter of fact THIS MORNING, I had an interview with the co reporter who worked on the Inc Magazine story because she was working on another story about podcasts and how to prepare for various media.  She saw that I had so much to say for the Inc. Magazine article, that she kept me in her rolodex and called me last week wanting to set up another interview for another story she was working on (which we did this morning while I was sitting in my minivan, as usual!)  Also, with a polite RT and @ mention on twitter to Food Network Canada, Grill Charms ™ were featured up there as well:

http://community.foodnetwork.ca/blogs/foodnews/archive/2010/04/17/pic-of-the-week-charming-steaks-on-the-grill.aspx

 BEWARE though!  DO NOT STALK!! (or even appear to be stalking!)  I always conduct myself with “charm”, grace (well….my “grace” is variable…., I’ll admit I can be rough around the edges, but that’s only AFTER you get to know me !), and the utmost respect of ones privacy.  I throw out a line or two to a person and if they don’t bite, I can take a hint and move on.  Some people use the “tenacious” approach, but I don’t really agree with that for me personally.  It’s not my style and I think it smells of desperation.  If you have a good story to tell and give them something they can use, if they can use it, they will. 

 Keep track of all your press mentions with Google alerts and post those mentions on your blog or news page with a link to the hit and by all means, Tweet and FB the link.  Press begets press.  It’s truly a snowball effect.  In your pitches to new media (as well as new and potential customers), make sure you mention your successes.  “Grill Charms™ (recently featured in EveryDay with Rachael Ray)……” is a GREAT opener!!  Have a great week folks, and we’ll talk more soon.
