A New Marketing & PR Model and Why You Need to Change

–By Diana Ennen

It’s pretty obvious that the marketing of today has changed. You have newspapers going virtual/web only, Twitter and Facebook replacing postcards and phone calls, and potential clients now being the main target of your press releases as opposed to editors. It’s all changing and to do PR today, you need to change with it. The good news is that it’s never been easier. The bad news, you need to learn a new way to do things. Fortunately, there are tips that can make it easier and I’m here to show you a few.

First, no one can deny the power of social networking. And those that do are just plain wrong. I’ve been in business since 1985 and I liken this to way back when emails became a way of life. Many still contended they wanted to do it the old fashioned way and nothing would beat a letter. (I know it’s hard to even imagine this today.) It wasn’t long until they realized their error, but by then their competition was way ahead of them. Don’t make the same mistake now. You absolutely need to get with it and get on board. I can practically guarantee you within weeks you’ll be hooked and wondering why you ever hesitated. It’s so easy, and the potential so great, you need to start today.

Using Twitter Effectively

Let’s break it down. Twitter first. Forget all the “I don’t care what they ate for lunch excuses,” that’s where your competition and peers are and you do need to be there too. Sure you do have a few tweeters who will update you on the latest hot dog they ate, but that’s rare. What you do have is more and more businesses networking and connecting with each other in ways never thought possible. It’s also more than just networking back and forth, you can have chats, host events, get more publicity for your articles and press releases and even announce your seminars and radio shows. And that’s not even the half of it. There are entire books written on this, so my first recommendation is to get them. Why struggle and find your way around when you can easily read the tips from those who know exactly what you need to succeed.

Having problems getting your emails opened?

Well, there’s a new game in town that will get your emails opened, virtually every one of them and almost immediately. It’s called video email and it’s the latest in the way of “humanizing” the Internet. Think of it as leveraging the advantages of video with the popularity and accessibility of email.

EyeJot Video Email

Our Favorite? EyeJot Video Email!

There are a number of firms offering video email but the one that we like the best is EyeJot. Why? Because it’s easy - you don’t have to be technically savvy at all to be up and running with EyeJot in minutes. They have a free version that you can play around with, but even the ProPlus version is a bargain at $99 a year.  We bought the ProPlus annual subscription because it allows for personal and business branding and keeps the emails that you created indefinitely (or until you delete them).

On the sidebar of this blog, I included a link to my profile. This is an excellent way for you to reach out to your market and extend a personal touch…let them know the person behind the name. Read the rest of this entry »

Let me first say, I am not a stalker, but this may be bordering on obsession. Just got off of reading Chris Rempel’s latest blog post - Hype vs. Reality - Be Very Careful What You Believe…and he really nails it again.

For anyone interested in building a business online, you need to start following what Chris has to say. I’ve picked up nearly every product he’s put out…why? Because every product is filled with value, no fluff, and always VERY affordable. In fact, I took a couple hours yesterday and read his entire blog…his stuff is just that good.

And now this morning, I get an email letting me know he’s posted to his blog again (vacationing in Mexico - in the middle of the “swine flu” - great commentary about that, btw). The post is pure gold, reinforcing what works (reality), what doesn’t (hype). It’s a great post for internet marketers starting out, as well as those who have been at it for awhile.

The post is sure to save you money (specifically, keep more money in your pocket) and motivate you to “work on the things that work.”

And if you are interested in trying some of Chris’s products, two that I recommend highly are:

If I remember correctly, when I bought “Confessions” there was an upsell at some rediculously low price which included everything else Chris has put out, including “The Conduit Method.” I took that and was really glad I did.  But don’t hold me to that…just look for the offer if you’re interested (for a review of the Conduit Method check out my - How to Make Quick Money).

btw - these are affiliate links but as you can see I’m not getting rich from them - I could promote pricier products, but they’re not as good. You won’t be disappointed, I promise.

Stepping down from my soapbox now ;-)
