When something needs to get done in my life, for the most part, I have been a do it your self kind of guy. In fact, I am the kind of guy who enjoys fixing things. In a former career, I worked as a professional carpenter. So I am pretty handy around the house. When I first started out as a carpenter, a lot of people would ask me how I learned what I knew. They were always surprised when I answered that I watched a lot of DIY TV shows and I read books.
Even when it comes to getting other types of things accomplished, I usually have tried to do things myself. I am pretty good at reading a book and applying what I have read. However, doing everything yourself has 2 very major drawbacks. Read the rest of this entry »
Here is something interesting that I found. For those of you that have business pages on Facebook, you can use now add an opt-in form on your business page that links back to your Aweber autoresponder.
Just think of the possibilities. Someone becomes a fan of your business because they were genuinely interested in what your company offers. Now, that they have opted in, you can market to them using either e-mail blasts that you write within the system, or emails that you have pre-written. Of course, you can do a combination of the two.

If you need an Aweber account, you can click here

“It looks good, Kevin, thanks for showing it to me. However, I don’t get involved in businesses that I have to show to my friends and family”
Have you ever had a prospect say something like that to you after you showed them the business that you were involved with? I had it happen to me recently. I was so excited about my new business that I broke my cardinal rule and shared it with some friends. However, they were not in “the same place” that I was and could not see the possibilities.

Marketing branding
Jul 9
A couple of months ago I ran into an old friend of mine at the post office. After we caught up a bit, she handed me her business card and stated that she wanted to talk to me about her business. When I looked at her card there were a few things on there that immediately said to me that she was an amatuer and I, like most people, like dealing with experts and leaders. If you are going to succeed in this business, you have to become an expert and leader. To become the expert, you have to brand yourself just like the big boys do. (think Coke or Pepsi) Read the rest of this entry »
One of my recommendations for people is to get onto Facebook to help market their businesses. However, I often have to caution newbies to go back into the security settings and uncheck the option to display the year of their birth date. My theory was that identity thieves could use that info along with other info that they could steal elsewhere to steal your identity. It turns out that I was right. See this Time article ”Is your Facebook Account a Goldmine for Indentity Thieves”
To fix your profile, it is really easy but a little tricky to find. In the top left find the Profile button. Underneath your picture select “Edit My profile“. Under “Basic Information” just below your birthday is a drop down list. Select either “Show only month and day in my profile” or “Don’t show my birthday in my profile“. Then click “Done Editing”
