Do You ‘Tweet’ For Your Business?

TwitterDo you ‘tweet’ for your business? If you don’t you should. Twitter has really caught on as a traffic builder.

Tweets are short little posts commenting on what you are doing right now. The key to using Twitter effectively is participation. You must listen as well as speak. The more you listen and respond, the more people will ‘follow you’.

When you tweet, your message is broadcast to everyone who is following you.  If your ‘tweet’ is interesting, your followers will want to see what you are all about and will click over to your blog.

Write a new blog post? Tweet about it. Launching a new product? Tweet about it. Working on a new project? Tweet about it.

The more you interact, the more people will interact with you. So, go over to Twitter and set up an account. Search for people you know and start following them. Start ‘tweeting’ and watch what happens!

The Birth of the “Virtual Book Tour”

November 20th, 2002 was an important day for me.

On that evening, I drove into the Book Passage (bookstore) parking lot in Corte Madera, CA and I met Al and Tipper Gore during their live “physical” book signing. I was shocked when I discovered that they only sold a few hundred books. I knew there had to be a better way.

The better way to sell books or info products is a Virtual Book Tour … which has been the topic of this video blog and my 4-module series.

Since 2002, I’ve conducted nearly a hundred Virtual Book Tours (“VBTs”). And today, I charge almost $5K to interview authors (for 60 minutes) and mail my online list on their behalf.

If you’re reading this before June 5th at 6pm Pacific (9pm Eastern), that evening I’m hosting a live Preview Call for my VBT teleseries and I want you to attend.

If you register before the dealine, you’ll save $79 on your tuition as a result of reading this blog post with this Discount Code: gabe1025.

21 Proven Ways to Repurpose Your Teleseminars

The single most overlooked info marketing strategy is “repurposing.”

No other strategy offers authors and Infopreneurs so much leverage to accelerate the productivity of your info marketing business.  You can get the full story on my 2-hour VBT Preview Call.

Watch the video above in its entirety and make certain you pull-down the 21 Repurposing Tips PDF Report I give you online access to at the end.  Your candid comments below will be most appreciated 🙂

The Power and Influence of “Marketing Lexicons”

30436648.jpgIf you want to burn your brand into minds of your students or customers … then I encourage you to begin thinking about creating your own marketing “lexicon” (vocabulary) in order to develop your own Glossary of Terms.

By so doing, you’ll automatically create your own vocabulary or language that instantly and automatically separates you from your competitors or rivals. Yet most info marketers fail to see the power of developing their own marketing lexicon.

But once you create a new vocabulary to amplify your marketing message (Tim Ferriss does with his 4-Hour Work Week blog and book), you almost instantly become an expert by “defining” your ideas.

Glossary: A “lexicon” is the mental vocabulary in another person’s mind for a specific language, social class, field, industry or glossary that communicates, organizes and pre-defines new ideas or concepts.

Blog Your Book…

…or your book idea or your information product!

If you are an author (or Infopreneur) with a published book, book idea or forthcoming info product launch, then you need to “blog” about it.

If you are a published author, blog from your book. Remember, Alex says you don’t make money writing your book, you make money explaining your book.

If you are an author with an idea for a book, blog about your book. Start creating buzz about it before it’s even published. AND – ask your readers for their ideas and opinions.

You never know what you might hear 🙂

You will learn a whole lot more about this blogging strategy on this year’s Virtual Book Tour Systems with Alex Mandossian. Watch for an announcement about the preview call on June 5th.
