Then try article marketing! According to a recent webinar by Shelby Larson and Heather Sneed the Content Divas, “Article Marketing has always been strong.” By writing just 3 articles a week, you will be working on branding yourself as an expert in your business field. The Content Divas suggest posting these articles on a blog with a big banner to grab the attention of your readers. Shelby Larson and Heather Sneed are awesome and have a team that will actually help you with the articles. But it is more rewarding if you can do it yourself. You may not know you have writing capabilities till you try it. Actually it is quite easy to get started. For example, think of the top ten questions people normally ask about your business or service. Then, think of ten questions that your prospects should be asking you that they don’t know to ask. Under each of these 20 questions think of 3 major points that may be helpful to the reader. As you begin to jot these down, 20 articles emerge from your pen or pencil just like that. How many other things can you think of about your business that people should know about? Wouldn’t it be great if on your companys’ website you have just the answers they are looking for? And all they have to do is click on your blog. You can get and easy blog up and running at Blogger. Or for a more businesslike approach you can try Wordpress. Both have templates that are easy to customize according to the type of business you own. You can even have a comment section to get insight on what your customers are looking for and what new questions they may be asking. And that could be another article right there! Happy writing! God Bless!

How do i answer the phone? - I learned this technique from a successful businessman who earns over a million dollars a year. He just uses his name like this... Phone rings... " This is Dwayne..." It kind of throws people off who have a preplanned script and gets right into it. Phone rings... " This is Dwayne..." No Hello, no good morning/afternoon/evening Phone rings... "This is Dwayne..."

Re: Can you read body language and convert it into a sale? - I can definitely read their mood by how they speak on the phone. You can usually also tell by the way they respond to the things you are saying. Phone sales aren't as easy as when you see them in person, but I still believe their tone can tell a lot.
Ideas on Using Twitter for Business - 1. Build an account and immediate start using Twitter Search to listen for your name, your competitor's names, words that relate to your space. (Listening always comes first.) 2. Add a picture. ( Shel reminds us of this.) We want to see you. 3. Talk to people about THEIR interests, too. I know this doesn't sell more widgets, but it shows us you are human. 4. Point out interesting things in your space, not just about you. 5. Share links to neat things in your community. ( wholefoods does this well). 6. Don't get stuck in the apology loop. Be helpful instead. ( jetblue gives travel tips.) 7. Be wary of always pimping your stuff. Your fans will love it. Others will tune out. 8. Promote your employees outside-of-work stories. ( TheHomeDepot does it well.) 9. Throw in a few humans, like RichardAtDELL, LionelAtDELL, etc. 10. Talk about non-business,
Magnetic Ads - Biz Idea - Attn Young Entrepreneurs looking for a Business Idea. This came to me while sitting in Traffic for about 1 hour while looking and laughing at ridiculous bumper stickers. Note: this idea is rough but will help get the idea-momentum going. Idea: Sell advertising on the back of cars in the form of reusable magnetic signs (about the length of 2 or 3 bumper stickers) Most people shouldn't have reservations to participating if they get a cut of the monthly fee you charge the company advertising and it doesn't hurt their car. An example of a Magnetic Ad: Geico: I saved 15% on my Car Insurance. Call 1-800-U-SAVE-15 You don't have to pay the cost associated with creating the Magnetic Ad because you will advise the company that this belongs to them and you can get them in touch with someone who created reusable magnets. So your basically managing two sides: 1. Company's that want to advertise 2. People in your neighborhood (to start) who will put the ads on their car. Bigger cars can have more than one ad. Happy Money Making!
