Tribal Seduction

Aloha,

Tonight you have a rare opportunity to join me in a very intimate chat with the infamous Gary Ambrose & Keith Wellman (no catch, no fee) to talk about “The Common Thread to Success.”

I’ve heard about Gary Ambrose for years ever since I got involved with Stephen Pierce in the internet marketing speaking circuit. Always wanted to meet him, but he was so behind the scenes, and we never seemed to go to the same events together. Until one fine spring day this past year in Orlando.

Actually – how about I save that story for tonight’s call?

Cuz here’s the thing … ever since I’ve been involved with online marketing, I’ve asked myself this one question over and over again, “What makes these top 10 gurus of the Internet Marketing world so successful?”

And Gary is willing to talk about that very question with me tonight on a call with my friends who join me. Here’s the page he set up for me (nice guy that he is – saving me time) so you can register for the call if you’re committed to showing up.

Oh, and don’t dare whine about how “it’s Friday nite Debbie” cuz I don’t wanna hear it. Gary is a rare dude to get a hold of, so miss this call at your own expense. I’m just stoked that I finally nailed down this guy – this Jon Lovitz impersonator. (ooh I so hope Gary Ambrose doesn’t see this post now – or I will live to regret saying that.) 

Heck – ya know what? Help me PROVE to Gary Ambrose that he really IS Jon Lovitz tonight! Will you?

Here’s the video of the famous Jon Lovitz on a very funny Friends episode (ignore the bad recording clip) and then compare it to Gary’s call tonight. And if you agree with me, that Gary IS Jon Lovitz – send him a tweet during the call @Gary_Ambrose and tag it #Lovitz – (Do this, and you know you’ll win my undying devotion and affection

Actually – that Friend’s episode “the one with the stoned guy” on YouTube was too awful to use – so enjoy this video with Jon Lovitz as “himself” instead. (warning: PG-13 rated)

ENJOY!

OH! Almost forgot!

Here’s the link to register for tonight’s 10pm EST call with Gary Ambrose and Coach Deb:

Success: What’s the common thread?

See you tonight!

PS: If you’re one of “The Lucky Ones” I’ll see you in Dallas with Gary Ambrose at his Gateway Seminar where I’ll be sharing the stage with the infamous Stephen Pierce himself! This link will get you VIP access to join me as my guest for FREE in Dallas – But MORE importantly – it’ll give you a rare glimpse of Gary Ambrose in the video at the top so you can see for yourself that he IS Jon Lovitz! Riiiiight????!!!!

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.

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?”

JOIN COACH DEB & Chat LIVE!

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.

First Tweetup in TV History was held on Wednesday, January 21, 2008 when Deborah Micek (Aka: Coach Deb) was interviewed by Andy Bumatai on his TV Show about Twitter and Social Media with two other guests, Arleen Anderson and Lincoln Jacobe.

The book Andy Bumatai referenced on the show was Twitter Revolution found directly on Amazon.

Part 1 from TV show
Andy Bumatai introduces “Social Media” to the audience and relates it to current events.

Part 2 from TV Show -
Where Guests are introduced & the discussion begins!

Part 3 from TV Show -
Where @AlohaArleen & @CoachDeb begin to debate about what Seduction really is (and is NOT):

Part 4 from TV Show -
When guests gave business owners tips on how they can use Twitter for business & marketing:

It got a little heated on the Andy Bumatai set when @AlohaArleen said she begged to differ with @CoachDeb and stated, “I don’t want to seduce my audience.”

Here’s a “behind the scene shot” of the studio.

NOTE: Deborah Micek couldn’t bring the Twitter Revolution book on the set b/c of the green screen the TV show was filmed in front of. Since the cover of the book was green it woulda looked funky with the background pouring through!

You’ll find more behind the scenes shots to see how the production was put together, and some of the LIVE audience members there for the LIVE Tweetup on Deborah Micek’s Facebook profile.

But back to the debate… Who doesn’t want to charm and seduce their audience? Now it’s your turn to get in on the debate. What have you learned from this blog about Tribal Seduction? And what would you say to someone who doesn’t get it yet?

Perhaps you’re a student from the Tribal Seduction Course, and you know even more about what Seduction really is and is not. Share your thoughts about seducing your audience (as opposed to the typical old-school marketing slam and spam strategies used) in the comment section below.

How would you describe Tribal Seduction in business to someone who is unfamiliar with this new form of marketing in the 21st Century?

Brand You!

Brand New You!

Are you ready for a Brand New You in the New Year?

Are you ready to go BIG TIME in ‘09?

When people see or hear your name, what instantly comes to their mind? Do you know? Do your clients know your niche/speciality and how you can help them best? If not – the time is now to get that laser focused message across in a big way for the new year. Who’s with me?

I thought it was easier to share my thoughts via video of a major distinction I made in 2008 that has catapulted me for going Big Time in ‘09. My wish for you is to make similar distinctions so you can go Big Time in ‘09!

I’ve met so many wonderful people this year on Twitter and all the different places I spoke throughout the year, that I wanted to set up something special for the followers/fans/friends who’ve asked me for a private coaching session to help them with their brand, their business and their goals.

Since I’m in the giving spirit – you get to take advantage of crazy low private coaching rates and grab them now before the New Year is up, and before the clock strikes midnight. I’m looking to Coach 12 phenomenal business women and a few good men who know 2009 is his/her year. If that’s you – you’ll especially love this video and this post, because you get the opportunity to lock up a consulting session (or two) at crazy holiday rates. (Yes, I’ll honor this special for current private coaching clients as well – since it’s a limited offer and time for these sessions.)

Normally I don’t do single 30-minute coaching sessions, but I’m in the holiday spirit, and wanted to give my followers what they’ve been asking for. So – you’ll find a quickie coaching session is available as an option along with a special 60 minute session rate, if you want to go long. I even included a special “6-pack” if you’re a heavy “success drinker“.

Grab these New Year Coaching specials now – before JP Micek discovers what I’ve done, and takes this post down!

NOTE: I can only meet with about 5-7 people from here to the new year, but you can still lock in the rate today, and then Deborah Carraro (our new business manager) will schedule your session for mid-late January – depending on when your order comes in. Just call her up after you’ve grabbed what you need using the links below and she’ll call you back when she’s in the office in the order the calls and orders are received.

Office line: (415) 723-9715

Go behind the scenes with Coach Deb at Splash Media Studio
in Dallas, Texas as she was getting prepped for a TV interview for
a new network: Elevision TV “TV that takes you to a higher level”.

Mari Smith was co-conspirator here and took some behind the scenes
footage while Bill Hibbler from eCommerce Confidental was in the blue
room with me interviewing me about Twitter & the Twitter Revolution
book.

Elevision is a new TV channel that will be on next year. I was
honored to be among the inaugural crew that was in the studio for
a series of business building interviews. Topics discussed in the
interviews for the different shows ranged from social media to growing
your business using best practices with some of the world’s best
business minds.

It was a blast, made brilliant connections for BLOGi360 among other things I’ll be excited to share with you in the New Year… but for now… I’ll give you a sneak peek at what Mari Smith and I were up to this month in Dallas.

You’ll see the panic they almost put me in… and I hope there are other Tweeters out there who share my pain. Afterall… how can you do an interview highlighting the power of Twitter and not be able to tweet about it. Right?! C’mon now – who feels my pain? (please stand up – and comment below if you felt my pain/anxiety in this video… just a lil’ bit? Or if you think I’m TOO much of a TwitAddict. I can take it. Really! I can
