If you’re intrigued by the possibilities of internet marketing for boosting your business, then you may have some questions.  My mentors, Judith & Jim, along with Tom Justin, are sharing their knowledge and experience of their journeys in getting started in internet marketing.  Tonight’s call is free and is designed to provide answers to the most important questions that you may have regarding this popular business model.  See their note below and sign up to get the call info.

(If you want to sign up right away, you can go to:  http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/aftrack.asp?afid=961738  and yes, to be completely transparent, that is my affiliate #.  That means if you do decide to buy the course, I will get a commission. The course they’ve created, called First Step Internet Marketing, is one that I refer to constantly as I re-create and refine my business models.

So, here are a few words of introduction from Judith, Jim, and Tom:

When you’re thinking about starting
something new — like Internet Marketing –

It’s important to know which questions to ask –
And it’s important to know where to get
the answers.

If you’ve started something new — like
Internet Marketing — whether it’s for your
own programs or products — or as an affiliate
promoting other people’s programs –

You need guidance –
Not just generalized guidance, but the
type of guidance that’s exactly right
for where you are right now.

That’s why my colleagues Judith, Jim and Tom
have organized a No-Cost Tteleseminar that
you are invited to attend.

It’s this Monday August 3 at 6 pm PT

It’s worth saying again.  “You matter.”  Then take a minute to go back to Seth Godin’s original post about this.

Seth Godin said it in a June blog post, “You Matter” , and it is short, powerful and well worth printing out for daily review.  I even took it to share with a meditation circle that I led.   Although he doesn’t (as far as I know) bill himself in the spiritual entrepreneurship or conscious business categories, Seth has built a following with his out-of-the-ordinary approaches.  In this case, his  “You Matter”  blog post  expresses the highest spiritual principles aligned with inspiration and motivation that ties in to the magnify your excellence mindset that Judith Sherven and Jim Sniechowski also express in their intimate workshop (Magnify Your Excellence that will be held in the UK this fall) and their innovative Bridging Heart and Marketing event, scheduled for fall now as a cost-effective virtual event.

To give credit where it’s due, Seth’s post came to my attention through my friend KatyBeth at Camp Run-A-Pup.

Like it or not, the business paradigm shift is here.  You can always see how far business as usual takes you, although right now I’d characterize that as a  head-in-the-sand approach.

Or you can enter a dialogue to create a new model of business that reflects your authenticity, connection, community.  You can stand up, express your gifts, and own your greatness as part of the Soft Sell Marketing trend.  Judith and Jim are opening the dialogue for Soft Sell Marketers to come together to see how we might consciously co-create this paradigm shift.  See their blog post at:

Somewhere along the line, after leaving the
publishing business to create an independent
writing practice, it occurred to me that
I was missing something.  I served clients'
copywriting and communication needs.
But something more was calling--to leverage
my skills and passions, to find a way
to share knowledge and insights with a larger
audience and more effectively.

Perhaps you too have been hearing the
siren call of online "passive revenue?"
Well, it's not always as easy as some of
those online gurus make it out to be.
A lot of those how-tos make a ton of assumptions
about what you know already.
If, like me, you know that there's A LOT you
don't know, then find someone willing to show
you the ropes--and not starting in the middle,
but from the very most basic beginning.

If you are tempted by the possibility of not just
trading your hours for dollars,
(whether it's coaching or consulting or copywriting
or designing or whatever is the gift you offer)
then find some teachers who will show you the very
basics, every step of the way.
You might even start with the First Step--
specifically First Step Internet Marketing.

My friends and mentors, Judith Sherven,
Jim Sniechowski, & Tom Justin, created
First Step Internet Marketing.  It's the ONLY
Internet marketing course out
there for the true beginner!
They are committed to showing you how
simple and basic it is
to get started creating your financial success
online.  They're giving a Fr.ee Teleseminar -
Tuesday April 7 at 6 pm PST/9 pm EST

Online sales have continued to grow -- even now.
Curious about how this works?
Even if you can't be on the call, you can
get the recording afterwards--
as long as you get registered in advance.
You'll be sent the audio recording - at no charge. 

It's okay to be a beginner.  It's even good to
approach something
as multi-faceted as internet marketing
with what Zen masters call "Beginner's Mind."

When Judith and Jim, founders of the Soft Sell Marketers Association, asked members last week for a title for their daily newsletter, I played around with the bits and bytes on my keyboard and sent them a list of possibilities.  They found one in my list that really resonated with them.  A couple of days later, they responded enthusiastically, and on April 1, they published the newsletter with its new name, “Your Daily Heartbeat for Soft Sell Marketing.”

It’s great being able to make a contribution to a community that is doing so much to create a soft sell platform for internet marketing, providing a focus on selling as spiritual service. I see this as  a powerful marketing trend that is growing exponentially.  I so admire Judith and Jim for pulling back the curtain to reveal the realities of soft sell  marketing on the internet.  They do it live and in person at their Bridging Heart and Marketing Conference. (More on that at http://bridgingheartandmarketing.com/blog/)

It was also great to receive their public acknowledgment. We all like that!  And they sent me a new PDF e-book on all the ins and outs of testimonials as a thank-you in appreciation for my contribution.  We all like gifts!

Of course, what we all like most of all is to use our own gifts, to bring those gifts out into the public sphere and to see the gift of our brainchild succeed. One of the passions of The Write Synergies Guru is to name things.  Capturing the essence of a book or newsletter with a great title, developing headlines that reach out and resonate in the heart of readers, helping clients own their greatness and express their authentic gifts…well…these are things I do for fun. That’s the best gift of all.

Has anyone ever helped you live your life from
the deep truth of who you really are…?

Chances are your answer is “No.”

Yet your deep truth is where your personal genius
resides. Not understanding this or knowing how to
bring it forth with authenticity is the root of failure, frustration,
and potential lifelong emptiness.

If you’re aware that you tend to play down your
excellence then I’m urging you to make sure to
attend a very special teleseminar put on by my
mentors, friends, colleagues, the husband and wife
team of Judith Sherven and Jim Sniechowski (Judith & Jim)
Tonight Wednesday March 11 at 6 pm PST.

They’ll be talking with you about what gets in the
way of you being free to “Magnify Your Excellence!”
You’ll get a taste of what Judith and Jim will be offering
at an upcoming in-person workshop.  I know I’m more than
ready to magnify my excellence, so I’m scheduled to attend
their live event in April and wanted to make sure that you, my

friends and colleagues, get a chance to experience a bit

of the magic of Judith and Jim’s process and better express your authenticity.
