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?

Bitten by the Twitter bug? Got Tweets running through your veins? Not able to go a few hours w/out knowing what your followers & friends are doing on Twitter?

Well, you’re not alone! @CoachDeb can’t even do it on the beach in Hawaii!

The social marketing and personal branding power of this New Media tool is truly addictive. Especially for the Courtier’ style who loves people!

Watch what happens to a Twitter addict caught on tape @ the beach - Pulp Fiction style.

*Warning*: if you’re used to Twitter, this WILL mess with your time line.

We’ve just arrived to San Francisco where we’ll be speaking about Web 2.0 and New Media Marketing at this year’s *WIMME event with Paulie Sabol, Donna Fox, Mike Filsaime, Stephen Pierce and other leading internet marketing gurus.

Try not to feel sorry for us as we’re busy traveling and “networking” as we speak and promote our book, blog software and business in San Fransisco, California.

Sure, we’ll be mega busy… but if this “Networking” Video gives you any indication how “tough” it is living the ultimate business owner’s lifestyle, how networking for joint venture partners and deals is REALLY done - then you’ll not only NOT feel bad for us… you’ll want to JOIN us this Saturday morning at the Marriott Hotel in San Francisco for the WIMME event!

* WIMME = World Internet Marketing Main Event Formally called TIMME which the above video was from the night after we spoke from the main stage to promote our book, Secrets of Online Persuasion, and Blogi360 - originally called Blog Interactive 360 when the course was first released.

I gotta’ say, ever since that night, Harris Fellman (the funny guy who coined the word “POG” won my lasting friendship with all the laughs he gave me! Plus - he’s a really cool guy with a ton of integrity. And he really knows how to market using Web 2.0 Mafiosa style.

Oh - btw: if anyone’s wondering where I am at this networking soiree, I’m behind the camera - and even though I was primarily drinking iced tea, these guys had me laughing so freaking hard, I couldn’t hold the camera straight. Sorry about that!

But you’ll be able to catch me in the pictures at the end - I’m right in the middle on the last shot.

Note to self - at THIS year’s WIMME event in San Fransisco - give the camera to someone ELSE while shooting video - so people will know who is behind the camera.

Anyhoo - I’m looking forward to getting away, and “networking” at this week’s WIMME in San Francisco. We’ll be speaking Saturday morning (that’s this weekend) - as we’ll be hosting the “New Media Marketing Mimosa Party” soooo - let’s hold the evening partying for SATURDAY Night, so we can celebrate the event’s success and “network” with all of you who are here in San Fransisco with us.

Deal?!

PS: Thanks to the powerful Blogi360 system, I can be in TWO places at one time! Right now, I’m at my booth in San Fransisco, setting things up, meeting a ton of new people, and JP is entertaining a bunch of cool folks at the WIMME event, with his new magic tricks he’s been practicing on me and all our neighbors. (Tribal Seduction at its best!) All the while as we’re busy connecting with our tribe, attracting new tribe members and checking into our hotel, our Blogi360 is busy posting and updating social networking sites FOR me - so I don’t have to!

Ahhhh - Here’s a toast to having the best systems for your business so you can have a life - or make money while Blogi360 does the “grunt work” so I don’t have to! LOL!
