Update as of 2/6/11: Market Me Suite is SWEET! Version THREE is out! And it’s simply amazing. Yes they have had some bugs to work out, but because their customer service is SO awesome (I love you Tammy and team) they fix things quickly. The new facebook integration rocks, all my pages and groups are included so I can post with a signature to them. I love that I can create a hashtag signature, it made it so EASY for me to tweet from conferences and events with their hashtag, as it auto loads, and I can create a pane to watch EVERYONE’s tweets! They have also created what’s called “dotted Tweets”. On twitter all you can do is favorite a tweet. With dotted tweeted you can use color for specific tweets you need to keep track of (for example I like to keep testimonial or press tweets, and now I can organize them!) Right now the yearly price for version three is crazy cool $29.99 – worth trying, because everything else it does (see this post and their site!) Market Me Suite is SWEET!
Update as of 12/30/10: Wow! Market Me Suite continues to impress me and help me be MORE successful with my marketing strategy! Through tomorrow LIFETIME access is just $89, yearly, $49! Version 3.0 is coming out in Jan 2011, and I have just received a SNEAK PEAK. What they are doing will help my clients even more to grow their presence and market their business! See Twitter, just from an SEO standpoint is important, but this program does so much more than Twitter. New updates coming are:
-Dotted Tweets (totally unique, more on this later!)
-New Pane System (drag and drop and much more!)- this is a great way to organize what you need to see and get other thing out of the way!
-Facebook will be out of Beta-yes, yes yes! Being able to schedule your facebook marketing and ENGAGE from one source, brilliant!
-Ability to change color-I love this, not a fan of the black background
-Schedule from iPhone, Android and blackberry! WHOO HOO!
-Interface Revamp-that’s the new picture…(click on it and you can see a larger view)
-Facebook signatures (another unique feature, more on this soon!)
-Tweet Cache (save important tweets)-this right here is worth it’s price in gold! I teach my clients about marketing and sales online with integrity through the Social Networking Coaching Club, and when they learn to build their little pink spoons, it’s tough to remember to KEEP them somewhere to reuse or modify to the 4 buying styles later, not it will be simple!
Remember, current users get updates pushed to them for as long as they are active users!
And our pricing WILL change for new users once version 3 is out, so if your lists haven’t already secured pricing, send them on over! Get the Lifetime membership, I have not regretted one minute of the investment.
UPDATE as of 8/16/10: Market me Tweet is now becoming Market Me Suite because of all the features they have added and are continuing to add this product is worth every penny. Pricing has changed, but you might have noticed Hootsuite is adding these features as well (coming soon), at a much higher price point! The investment has gone up since I did this video, but it is so worth the investment in your business. My click throughs have tripled from Twitter to my website!
I also HIGHLY recommend that my corporate clients use this product for corporate exposure, right now the corporate plan is crazy good because you can have UNLIMITED accounts with it and amazing customer support!
As graduates of my bootcamp and lifetime members of my Social Networking Coaching Club will tell you, one thing I do is make myself guinea pig to all the apps and new programs out there to see if they are worth your time. It can be exhausting, haha, but what you know is I don’t recommend anything I wouldn’t use myself.
Twitter, let’s face it can be a beast, but tools like Hootsuite (which I have blogged about before as I love it) make it easier. But have you ever noticed that there is a prime piece of real estate on each and every tweet? Every tweet tells you when and WHERE they tweeted from. Where they tweet from is a link back to their site. So if you tweet from Hootsuite your tweets say “via Hootsuite” with a link to Hootsuite.com (you can click on the pic to see the larger version).
Market me Tweet (yes I am an affiliate-it’s a GREAT product!) has done something amazing! Now you can have that link be the name of YOUR business! (like mine in the pic) Watch this video to see what Market Me Tweet can do for you! My website traffic is up 500% on average just because of this tool!
What a great investment for your business! SEO and visibility! I think you will be glad you made this investment! Yes, the price has gone up since I did this video, but I’d happily pay it!

What are the 2 most powerful words we can say to our self? I AM. “I am” programs our current state of being. Whether in the negative or the positive, it sets up our body to experience what we are saying. Think about it. Did you wake up and say to yourself; “I am so tired,” or “I am refreshed and ready for the day?”
Sometimes without even realizing it, we can be our own worst critics and say things that our body then believes.
Do you say:
“I’m fat” or “I’m a lean, mean machine!”
“I’m broke” or “I’m attracting everything I need and more.”
What I have realized is that this often happens at an unconscious level. I have to:
1-stop – think consciously about what I have been thinking about
2-change it right then and there
3-feel the new I am statement in my body for a reality check
Here is a little recording excerpt from a piece I do when I speak in front of audiences:
How can you change your I AM statements today to reflect a more positive day? How are you feeling right now that might have been created by I AM statements? Can you see how this will create an energy that shifts your ability to be more influential?

Sometimes my inspiration comes from simple places. Last week I taught a seminar in SF. The number one thing the participants wanted to know about was how to network to build more influence. I love teaching influence strategies. Today I opened Trust Agents but Chris Brogan and read: “be sure to find ways to facilitate important meetings with new unknowns, because once you’ve cut yourself off from developing new contacts, your value to the network diminishes significantly. You must remain present to remain relevant.”
What are you doing, in your networking, to remain present and relevant? How are you keeping QUALITY the goal while growing? Are you Influential because you are present?

I am a warrior- I love being a warrior, but I have been thinking a TON about this lately on social media sites:
I want to be able to dialogue with people, absolutely! I, just like each of you, want to feel respected for my viewpoint. So here is my pledge:
1-I promise to practice this MORE often, especially with people I feel closer to. You are the ones I often think can handle my strong opinion and that’s not fair.
2-I also promise that if my opinion is super strong, I will post what I think on my wall or profile, but if you choose to jump in, you are fair game.
3-I will also promise to take the 1 minute “time out” when I write a response due to an emotional reaction BEFORE I post it, and then ask myself, how should I rephrase this or not post at all?
What can you do to make sure that social media sites remain a place of positive interaction and sharing, even when we disagree?

I know I get it, immediate gratification feels good. And often we want the immediate result versus the one that will actually work. So we keep building new programs, making new “special offers” – hoping for those fast results. Think about how persistent you are as you watch this video:
See those calla lilies never gave up, and they are now reaping the rewards. Sometimes I think it’s easy to feel like they did over the last several years; tired, neglected, your heart and soul not nourished. Those things come when you are persistent.
I mentioned blogging as an example, persistence is key with blogging. And let’s face it, it’s NOT easy! Writing, doing a video, uploading, tagging, sending it out to the world. And it sits. Finally a friend may comment. BUT with persistence, by knowing who you are and what you have to offer the world, your voice can be heard and clients show up.
“blog about inspirational ideas…I just landed a client…client says, we should get together…I say, yes, it’s important that we click as it’s a very intimate process to be in your home the way I am…client says, oh not a problem, we’ve been all over your blog and already love you and what you do (including the color you use say’s the wife)! Oh yea…that’s why I do that!”
That is why I love the work I do.
Persistence pays off, I know cliche, right? WRONG! It’s true- ask those calla lilies in my front yard.
Where has persistence paid off for you?
