Aloha,

I’m about to show you how you can join me and 4 other top influencers in Social Media in a TeleSummit this week - completely free - if you act right now, and closely follow the instructions in this post.

By now, you’ve heard how popular Twitter has become for business owners and professionals around the world. You may have even seen my TwitAholic video. But you also may still be scratching your head wondering how you can take advantage of this hot social network for fun and profit.

This Tuesday, I’ll be revealing WHY Twitter has become my #1 new addiction & drug of choice.

I’ll reveal the 3-step formula on how to use Twitter to create good will with crowds of raving fans who eagerly put cash in your pockets.

We’ll also discuss how marketing on Twitter is radically different from other online marketing activities, and how marketers are sabotaging themselves when they use Twitter incorrectly.

You’ll also learn what “Brand Integrity” is and how entrepreneurs can use it on Twitter to outsmart and out-position their competitors using a few simple tools.

And this is just one of the calls for this week’s TeleSummit.

Shhhhh! I just got a hold of the questions Adam Urbanski is planning to ask the other 4 social media experts for the other 3 calls during this week’s TeleSummit - and they’re good ones! I’m curious how some of the women will be answering some of these questions, because they normally sell these secrets in their $2K private courses - just as you know we do in our Tribal Seduction course.

Can you join me and the other social media mavens this week?

The topics covered during this week’s TeleSummit are:

Blogging
Twitter
Facebook
Social Media

Here’s how you can join in and participate on all of these calls - free of charge:

(Feel free to use this link to post on your social media sites: Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, etc. and invite your fans & followers - I promise - they’ll be thanking you for telling them about this week’s TeleSummit.)

When you register, you’ll receive the phone number to call along with the times/dates/topic for each social media expert.

Insider’s Hint:

Be sure to call in EARLY in order to join the call LIVE! There are already close to 1,000 people registered for this TeleSummit already and it was just advertised.

Inner Circle Secret:

Are you curious how Adam Urbanski was able to get 5 power hitters of social media to take time out of their busy schedules to give a TeleSummit free of charge?

Here’s how it all works:

Each social media expert agreed to give 70+ minutes of her time away for free to anyone who can join the call LIVE. (That’s why you must call in early to secure your seat this week.)

Then, each social media speaker put together a valuable, juicy bonus that she would otherwise charge a fee for, and we all combined our bonuses into a powerful “upgrade package” for attendees who want more. Details will be provided when you register for the Free Social Media Marketing TeleSummit of what you’ll get when you upgrade to the VIP package in order to have access to all of the calls via MP3 download.

BTW: I highly recommend you grab the upgrade package. I’ve seen the bonuses & have met each speaker personally, and what they’ll be sharing will be valuable information and resources you can put to use today. Plus - you’ll be supporting 5 fabulous women influencers in social media, demonstrating that we’re doing the right thing by “giving away” our time & tips in order to help the small business owners who are still newbies.

So - will you be joining me for my call about Twitter this Tues?
And will you also join my other friends on Mon, Wed & Thurs to learn more about Facebook, Blogging and New Social Marketing strategies?

I was shocked by a quote I read today. It was given as advice to business people, and it went like this; “emulate, do not innovate, be unique, but not original.”

Now as soon as I read it, the hair stood up on the back of my neck and I started to shake with frustration. I got control of myself and commented to the person; “that’s good advice — if you want to be a follower!” (And I don’t mean a Twitter follower either. )

I mean, really! Do u think Apple, Virgin, Chris Angel, Martha Stewart, Oprah or any other standout company or personal brand adheres to advice like that?

No, of course not. The “nots” in that piece of advice will limit your success by making you a follower, not a leader.

Look… watch the 2:30 minute video and you’ll understand better the life-sapping trap of being trapped on the path. Then let’s chat.

It’s the worse thing that can happen to you…

You’re trudging along day after day, thinking you’re on the right path because someone else beat it down for you. Finally one day you get to the end, and you realize your destination is not what you were looking for. And you have to start all over again.

Not good. Not good at all. Modeling is great, but only when you innovate using your own strengths as the basis.

Being unique is terrific, sure. But my dogs leave unique piles of poo every day. If they were original and used the toilet - that would get my attention!

Beware of using cute little quotes as the basis for your business strategies. Dissect them and make sure they’ll work for your style.

Use common sense to map out each piece of advice to its’ conclusion. That way you’ll see if the end point aligns with your goals. If it doesn’t, either learn how to modify them to work with your unique strengths, communication and motivation style, and personal brand… or trash it.

What’s your story?

Have you ever gotten trapped following someone else’s trail? If so, how did you break free and cut your own path?

Are you already leading the pack? If so, how are you proving yourself and your products as innovative? What are you doing to create a personal brand that makes you stand out as both unique AND original?

 Is The Sick Sense Scarring Off Your Profits? [4:47m]: Play Now | Play in Popup

Today’s marketplace is a radically new world for sales professionals. Making sales requires a different vision and marketing mindset. New Media has created a whole new paradigm in the world of marketing and social media. If you can embrace it - there’s hope for you and your business.

But some, I fear, have been inflicted by the “Sick Sense” and are suffering as a result.

It doesn’t matter whether you do business online or off-line, the old-school style of interruption marketing (molestation) will not be tolerated. At least not by me. Will you tolerate it?

Have you ever noticed how some sales people (network marketers more often than not) suffer from the Sick Sense? Instead of seeing dead people (like Haley Joel Osment did in the movie Sixth Sense with Bruce Willis), they see something very similar. This illness immediately kills their chances of increasing their profits or gaining more clients.

I share what they see in this video. Let me know if you’ve ever come across people like this - so I know I’m not alone in my frustrations.

Watch to see if you’re been afflicted with the Sick Sense from past old-school marketing training, and learn the cure.

Then answer the question that will determine how much success you achieve in today’s New Media Marketplace — What do you see when you look across today’s marketplace?

The Sick Sense is a horror story you don’t want to live with.

I recently wrote a piece on the New Media Marketing blog for Entrepreneur Magazine, and it caused quite a controversy. In it I raised the question of women having a natural advantage when it comes to the art of influence and online persuasion. The topic generated a lot of comments and stirred up both men and women to join in and share their opinion.

As a matter of fact, the topic was so controversial that the buzz continued on Twitter, and at parties in the “real world”. Including a recent get together with one of my clients living Hawaii.

He started to say, “Women Rule on Twitter” while we were walking on the beach in Kailua to catch the sunset. But then, a couple of Mai Tais later, once again – the controversy took over. In the dark of night he “might” have admitted too much of what he REALLY thinks about women, and how he can’t compete with them on Twitter.

I dunno – but it sure had me laughing! (And laughing - and laughing esp while editing this video.) But I’ll let YOU decide.

Does he speak the truth? Or go too far? Is he sexist? Or simply admitting that women do indeed have a natural advantage for any type of social networking activity on the net?

J.P. Micek chimed in, (on the laughing) and went on to agree that women really DO indeed rule on Twitter. He said it was because they have, (and I quote) “The Whole Package”.

What do you think the whole package is, giving women the advantage on social networking sites?

And is it only women who have the whole package when it comes to winning on Twitter? Or can men develop the skills necessary to win in the new media marketplace?
