It doesn’t matter if you do business online or off-line. EVERY business today — whether local, national or international — needs an effective Web presence. All off-line stores, service businesses and professionals face the same challenges as online businesses . . . that is wasting time and money on activities that kill profits, opportunities and even complete businesses altogether.

If you’ve had difficulty growing your business online as much as you’d like to, there’s a good chance it’s because you’re using outdated Web sites, cumbersome blogs and old-school marketing methods. QuanSite™ New Media online marketing and site-building software is an automated system that gets you found, gets you customers and gets you sales!

QuanSite™ software is for:

• Off-line business owners looking for competitive dominance in their local market and a reliable way to create streams of free qualified leads through their front door
• Online business owners who want to focus on growing their business and make more sales instead of wasting time & money on constant challenges with technology
• Marketing consultants and sales professionals who want to make bigger profits in less time by using a rock-solid software platform that makes it easy to deliver results for their clients

If you’re looking for a faster, simpler, less-costly and far-more effective way to grow your business online — you are in the right place.

Sure every good business person knows they have to do the work up front to get results. But frankly, the only people who walk away from QuanSite™ are those who choose to work harder, not smarter.

you feed it & grow! It’s that simple.

Game changing video interview on the new Twitter App going LIVE today with Mike Filsaime and Deborah Micek about “TweetGlide” in this post below.

Are you currently using TweetDeck, Twhirl or other Twitter management App to organize your followers, friends, influencers and clients? If so, you’ll love what Mike Filsaime just released today: TweetGlide which will not only replace these other application tools, but it’ll take it to the next level. (See video interview below as Coach Deb interviews Mike Filsaime about what makes TweetGlide different, unique and better than TweetDeck.)

Let’s just say, if you’re a business owner or marketer who is on Twitter in order to market your business, product or service, then you’ll fall in love with TweetGlide the way I did once I got to the bottom of what it really does.

TweetGlide is a Game Changer for Twitter. Watch this two part video interview with Mike Filsaime and judge for yourself… (Then pass it on – your followers will love you for it!)

Deborah Micek here, reporting from the Blog World Expo 2009 floor. (not exactly LIVE, but this quickie video will give you a feel for what Blog World Expo is really all about.)

Blog World & New Media Expo in Vegas this past weekend was yet another mega success (at least for those of us who made it so by getting what we came for. Yeah, it’s good to have goals when you go to Blog WORLD, ya know what I’m sayin?)

With over 300 speakers on panels at Blog World Expo all in the span of just 3 days, it can get rather overwhelming. Especially if you go to all the sponsored tweetups, meetups and after parties sponsored by cool companies and people like @JasonFalls @Mashable, @AdventureGirl, @TechSet, @Mike_Stelzner, @MariSmith, @bhgre_sherry and so many others.

By the last day, at the last hour of the day, I found a nice corner in the back of the breakout area to put my feet up, laugh a little and just hung out with my good friends (and well respected colleagues) Denise Wakeman and Rich Brooks. (Yes, there’s a back-story to this reunion meetup – but we’ll save that for another post. mmkay?)

In this casual 3 minute video, Rich Brooks from Maine, asks me to reveal how I do it all.

How do I get from one event to another and keep on going? Motivational secret revealed in this video. (I Guarantee you, no other motivational speaker has EVER revealed this little known secret that only the MEGA successful know about.)

As you enjoy this fun, impromptu video interview that THE Rich Brooks originally created to send to his brother-in-law, you may notice “another layer” in the background. Actually a few Tribal factors are also seen throughout the video.

Ok, that’s all I’m saying. I’ll leave the rest of the clues and social media tribal customs for friends, fans and tweeps to uncover in the video and reveal in the comments below. (Be sure to add your Twitter handle!)

Do you notice the Tribal language and customs of Tweeters in the video? Let’s just say, in casual, conversational interviews like this, there are many other layers and lessons to learn from – if you dig beneath the surface, and ask the right questions when they pop up in your mind. Ya’ know, the smart questions like, “WTF is that?!” #LikeTheLongAssHashtags and shtuff like that.

Over & Out,
Deborah Micek
AKA: @CoachDeb

PS: We also touched on a hot topic discussed at Blog World Expo (otherwise known as #BWE09), which was: “Sponsored Conversations“. With the FTC regulations coming into play on Dec 1, 2009, it’s a topic we all need to be aware of. And we address it in this video in our usual, irreverent fashion: indirect, and with humor. Feel free to share the real business lessons and your thoughts on sponsored conversations in the comments below. I’d love to hear your take on it.

PPS: While The Rich Brooks from Maine has a wide array of credentials, including being the President of flyte, and Fast Company Expert Blogger, he’s best known for his accomplishments in the Twittersphere for inventing the supervillain named The Sandwich Svengali. (More on that story at the upcoming SXSW “conference” in Austin, Texas.)

There’s a rising trend in social media: squatters.  Seems that the latest Twitter trend is for squatters to snatch up trademark Twitter IDs.  Nicole Kidman, Coca Cola, and Nike have all had their names snatched up by others.  (You can read the full Squatters Creating Twittering Confusion article.)  Even Kayne West spoke out against Twitter and called on the site to take down the user tweeting under his name.

We all don’t have the power of Kanye or Coca Cola or Nike but there are steps we can take to protect our name and our brand across the different social media networks.

If you’re not a member of this Tribal Seduction Tribe, you may have missed the LIVE show Coach Deb was on last week talking about Protecting Your Social Media Identity.  It’s a short video – designed to motivate you to TAKE ACTION to protect your brand, build your reputation online, and get you Traffic & online presence all over the internet!

There are specific action steps for you to take to lock up your first and last name, brand and company name on the different social networks.

ACTION STEP: Lock up your first and last name on the different social networks. Lock up your brand or company name.

Be sure to lock up your name on the following sites:

• Twitter
• Facebook
• Squidoo
• FriendFeed
• Plurk
• YouTube
• LinkedIn
• MySpace

Try to grab the same user name if you can.  Lock up your name and brand even if you’re not going to be actively using them.

On February 28, 2009 an American icon passed away. He left us with years of his wit and wisdom, but his most important lesson for business owners was hidden behind the veil of the new style of radio program he created.

This sales-boosting and brand-building secret was summed up in one simple statement. And in that statement is all you need to be focused on ALL day, EVERY day to sell and grow your business most effectively.

First… the man behind the wisdom

I’ll share the statement in a moment, but to fully appreciate and apply it you first need to know a little more about the man behind the wisdom.

The man was Paul Harvey, host of the famous “The Rest of the Story” radio show. With the unique format of his radio show, Paul entertained AND sold like none before. He had a strategy and system that perfectly complimented his “folksy” personal brand.

He was known for the catch phrase he used at the beginning of his programs,”Hello Americans, I’m Paul Harvey. You know what the news is, in a minute, you’re going to hear … the rest of the story.” The last item of his broadcast, which was often a funny story, would usually be preceded by “For what it’s worth.” And he always ended, “Paul Harvey … Good day.”

At the time of his death he was arguably the most famous radio personality in America with his show syndicated on over 1,200 stations. And right up until his death he was still doing his show and selling products… and even vaulting unknown brands into national prominence. (Think Bose)

Paul Harvey’s career was not without controversy though. He publicly took strong political positions, advocated for the Vietnam War, and was fiercely critical of political and other public figures.

The strategies

Yes, as you see — Paul Harvey practiced all the elements of Tribal Seduction:

A strategy and system built around his Personal Brand (Persuasive Selling Platform)

• He was transparent letting his persona and personal views shine through without shame (invaluable to gathering a tribe of true Loyals)
• Paul chose (and stuck with) the communication channel that best suited his Persuasive Selling Platform™
• He chose the communication channel that provided the best access to his Tribe (primarily Baby Boomers and older)

The “ONE THING”

But what’s that one statement that encapsulates all you need to be focused on ALL day, EVERY day to market most effectively?

It comes from a passing comment Paul Harvey made to Dan Kennedy backstage at a Peter Lowe event. it is this:

“Selling is simple if it’s proceeded by trust.”

This simple statement defined Paul Harvey’s position with his Tribe. they would buy the bed or radio or vacuum or vitamin or insurance he recommended simply because HE recommended it.

If there is a “secret” to selling, THIS is it. This is the position you must aspire to. To be so trusted that your Tribe will listen to your advice; to buy what you recommend.

What are you working on today?

With the power of Social Media and New Media we all have the power to reach our target audience easier and cheaper than ever before. And with the unfair advantage given to you with the Tribal Seduction Marketing-for-Life Program you have the ability to attract and grow your own Tribe of raving fans (Loyals) who will stick with you (and buy from you) for life!

But at the crux of the Tribal Seduction system is trust. It’s about honesty and congruence with a refined Personal Brand. And THAT is what so few business owners spend time on day-to-day.

So the question is; are you busy spending more time:

• Working on techie tasks in your business?
• Just going through the motions of “networking” because it’s what you’re “supposed” to do (or because “everyone else is doing it”)
• Or working to creating a bond of true trust, focused on building rapport (the precursor to trust)

Most business owners earning 7-figure incomes do it by becoming persons of influence with a specific chosen audience. The selling of an abundant quantity of products or services to produce the desired income is then — as Paul put it — “simple.”

Whether you are marketing online or off-line, marketing with New Media or old media — honesty is critical to your sales success. Denying the facts will get you nowhere. Actually in today’s New Media Marketplace with the unbridled power of Social Media; denial will get you creamed!

So what’s the answer to effectively marketing an imperfect product in an imperfect world?

Watch this quick video and find out. I filmed it myself while driving home in Hawaii so the camera angle is off in some parts — but the topic and tips are so good I decided to publish it and give you a good laugh at the same time as a good profit-boosting strategy.

So there you have it, even in the video you see imperfection is not something you need to hide.

What’s your take?

• Have you ever felt like you had to deny an imperfection in your product or services?
• How do you feel when a Marketplace Molester or List Pimp tries to tell you you’re just imagining things?
• How could you “frame” imperfections in a way that actually grows your Tribe?

Change is inevitable. Any savvy online entrepreneur who wants to remain relevant and be ahead of the curve understands that change requires surfing the bleeding edge of technology.

So the question in our minds must always be: “What’s on the horizon and how can I use that to get ahead of my competitors today?”

Thirty years ago, there was no internet. Five years ago YouTube was still just a dream. If you watched Biz Stone and Evan Williams on The View this morning, you’ll know that three years ago, Twitter didn’t tweet.

Today, we literally don’t have to leave our computers to book a flight, pay a bill, find a new home or even connect with our tribe of loyals.

The Internet, YouTube and Twitter are part of our daily lives.

No one could predict the impact each development would have. In fact Bill Gates famously admitted:

“Sometimes we do get taken by surprise. For example, when the Internet came along, we had it as a fifth or sixth priority. It wasn’t like somebody told me about it and I said, ‘I don’t know how to spell that.’ I said, ‘Yeah, I’ve got that on my list, so I’m okay.’ But there came a point when we realized it was happening faster and was a much deeper phenomenon than had been recognized in our strategy.”

Don’t get taken by surprise!

Join me this Thursday for a special Ustream LIVE broadcast where I’ll share The #1 Thing you MUST be focused on when creating your Web Presence. I’ll be streaming LIVE from Hawaii with the Reality Mastermind Guyz.

Visit Chat with Coach Deb for more details on the show, and join my Tribe to get on tomorrow’s FREE Broadcast.

Now that Oprah is on Twitter and a number of other celebrities like Ashton Kutcher with a million followers and counting, has the Death of Twitter arrived for business owners using social media to grow their business?

If you’re not a member of this Tribal Seduction Tribe, you may have missed the LIVE show Coach Deb was on this week talking about Twitter and the controversial debates in the Twittosphere. But you can catch the first 30 minutes of the show right here:

In this video you’ll hear strategies that no one in the internet marketing community is talking about. Coach Deb will reveal tips to help you get better SEO ranking for your hubsite. Along with easy to implement tips when networking on Twitter, and what’s even more important than focusing on Twitter.

Be sure to have a notebook handy, because Coach Deb will challenge you to list ACTION items that you’ll do right away as soon as you finish watching this show.

NOTE:
32:06 minute mark: there is a brief volume bump when guest Ines calls into Coach Deb’s cell phone.

36:53 Video ends once Ines joins in because of technical challenges with the recording. So if you didn’t catch what she shared LIVE – be sure to watch your email for your invitation to the next LIVE show when Ines will make a guest appearance.

I mentioned the next LIVE show will be next Thursday 7pm EST, however we realized there was a conflict at that time, because that’s when Coach Deb & her team will be holding private Webinar for BLOGi360 hubsite members.

So – the next FREE Live Broadcast will begin 5pm EST - but details on where it’ll stream from (since Ustream is way too glitchy) will come via email to subscribers of this Tribal Seduction Blog. (Stay tuned for details.)

What do you think about what Coach Deb reveals about Twitter? What do you predict “the next big thing” will be in social media? Be sure to share your Twitter ID when you share your thoughts about this broadcast in the comment section below.
