Thinking of Hosting a Virtual Event? You should! Here’s why…

May 1, 2010 By Gina Bell 1 Comment

woman with headset3Joint ventures (predominantly Virtual Events) is the primary way that I grow my “list”… my community… my peeps… my tribe by leaps and bounds!

A virtual event is a joint venture marketing strategy that I highly recommend but, here’s the caveat… it’s not for the weak at heart! While there are definitely a lot of moving parts to a virtual event you’ll discover that the end results are totally worth it!

If the idea of hosting your own virtual event interests you or you love the idea of being able to put your own joint venture together (virtual event or not) to grow your list this year you should know about Virtual Event Boom. A Virtual Event about… virtual events ;~)

The FREE preview series is on now!

And in case you need a little more motivation, here are my top 8 reasons why hosting a Virtual Event is so smart:

1) RAPID LIST BUILDING: The co-promotion of the joint venture partners creates massive exposure for everyone involved. Ten high profile joint venture partners with an average list size of 10,000 means that your message/event will be exposed to 100,000 people. That’s good for you and good for your joint venture partners too!

2) RELEVANT LIST BUILDING: When done correctly – the flood of new subscribers you attract through your virtual event are targeted and relevant to your area of expertise. Take List Attraction Week as an example. Serious women in business online want to know how to grow their list, keep people on their list and make money from their list. There is the potential to get the best of both worlds: quantity AND quality. And, when it comes to list building this is a winning combination!

The more relevant your list, the easier it is to build RELATIONSHIPS which is the heart of your community. Through relationships comes trust and that is the cornerstone of profitability.

3) IMMEDIATE REVENUE: A successful joint venture planned correctly can lead to immediate revenue. A percentage of the targeted and relevant subscribers you attract will become paying customers.

4) DIVIDE EFFORT MULTIPLY EFFECT: In my opinion, a virtual event is the ultimate leverage. By partnering with other experts in your area of expertise, the collective energy and effort grows your list, boosts your credibility and stimulates revenue. Now you can impact more people AND… do more and more of what you LOVE to do!

5) CATALYST FOR MOMENTUM: A virtual event is a catalyst for tremendous growth. My business grows by leaps and bounds rather than inching along. I’m also able to leverage the momentum and buzz a virtual event creates. And you can too!

6) CREDIBILITY THROUGH ASSOCIATION: When you partner with other highly respected experts in your field, it boosts your credibility by association. And, as the lead of the joint venture, you boost your fame factor too! “Oh wow! You know [insert name of super cool guru JV partner]? I’m impressed”

7) POWERFUL AND PROFITABLE RELATIONSHIPS: Collaborating and creating joint ventures with other experts boosts your credibility through association. As you add value and increase to their lives, they want to add value and increase to you. These mutually beneficial win-win relationships are priceless.

8 ) MARKETING BECOMES FUN AND EASY! The momentum each joint venture project creates allows me to get the biggest results for my investment of time and money. The key word here again is LEVERAGE. A Joint Venture is SMART marketing on steroids!

Sound good to you?

What Does It Take to Host a Virtual Event Successfully?

April 13, 2010 By Gina Bell 4 Comments

Virtual Event Boom

Virtual events are on the rise. According to a survey conducted by On24, 63% of the 5000 marketing professionals surveyed said they were more likely to attend conferences online than in person.

Wow! With so many people searching for virtual events to attend, it’s no wonder that hosting one has become so seductive.

Virtual Events have become the #1 way that I personally have been able to take big leaps in my business. Just some of the reasons I do them are… growing a large and responsive list, boosting credibility and generating revenue.

Yet, despite the attractiveness, when done poorly, a virtual event can do more to damage your reputation than help it.

Ask my friend Leesa Barnes…

When she first started hosting her own virtual events, she could only attract 2 people and she made every mistake in the book…

  • She didn’t record her session
  • She didn’t provide an invitation to her guests on how to follow up with her for more info
  • She focused more on getting the technology right than on the marketing
  • And she tried to do it all by herself

So, why am I mentioning Leesa?

Since 2006, Leesa has hosted a variety of profitable virtual events that easily net her between 5 and 6 figures in extra income.

Not just that, but she also produces virtual events for people who don’t want to do it themselves.

Leesa is on a mission to help as many people as possible learn how to host virtual events successfully.

That’s why she’s hosting a **FREE** preview call series to share with you best practices in virtual events.

These calls take place weekly beginning on Wed Apr 14, 2010 and ending on Wed May 5, 2010. Each call is 75-minutes and will give you the tools and tactics to host your next virtual event with success.

These complimentary calls are a SNEAK PEEK of all the great content Leesa and her faculty of speakers (people like *ME*) will be sharing at the 2010 VIRTUAL EVENT BOOM, a 5-day virtual event taking place May 10-15, 2010.

Head on over to VIRTUAL EVENT BOOM to get the call-in details for this **FREE** preview call series.

Women in Business Online: Are You REALLY Open for Business? (a.k.a. don’t make this mistake in your ezine!)

March 24, 2010 By Gina Bell 4 Comments

Pretty woman with open signPublishing an ezine – whether it’s fancy html or plain text – is essential to being a successful woman in business online.

There are a very select number of ezines that I personally subscribe to because I try to avoid the comparison trap. The ones I allow into my inbox are highly relevant to where I am in my business – right now.

Today I received one of these ezines…

As I scrolled down the page I came to the featured product area. Woohoo! Spring Sale!

The product sounded fantastic PLUS, I wouldn’t have to pay full price… but… there was one BIG problem.

They didn’t have a payment button or link to more information or anything anywhere in the ezine.

Oopsie!

You’d be surprised how often I see this. (Can you say V-8 Moment?!)

So the question I want to ask you all today – so that YOU don’t make this mistake in your ezine (on your site, blog post, article, press release, etc.) is…

Are you REALLY open for business?

If you are, you’d be paying attention wouldn’t you?

And we could dig into this a lot further…

(Totally Avoidable) Problem #1… inspired buyers can’t take immediate action.

(Totally Avoidable) Problem #2… The Law of Diminishing Intent which states “The longer you wait to do something you know you should do now; the greater the chance you’ll never actually do it”.

To forget the buy now button or link increases the likelihood that “the law” will set in before (or if) you figure it out and re-send the offer.

So… if you are really open for business, pay attention.

~ Gina xo

P.S. I just wanted to add that I am not perfect in this area. I’ve made my share of mistakes too. But, as I’ve shifted from SOLO to CEO these moments, where money is left on that proverbial table, are farther and fewer in between.

I’d love to hear about the oopsies that you’ve made or noticed others making. You can share them as a comment. Please make sure the stories you share are anonymous though okay – there’s no need to embarrass anyone – just a great opportunity to learn from each other.

Women in Business Online: Do ‘Just One Thing’ To Get Your Book Done

March 24, 2010 By Gina Bell 1 Comment

Many times when we think about writing and publishing a book our minds careen out of control into the depths of overwhelm.

Let’s put the brakes on that.

Instead, what one thing could you do right now to move forward in your dream of becoming a published author?

Here are four “just 1 thing” ideas I have for the want-to-be-published. I encourage you to pick one to apply today so you can be a published authors sooner rather than later.

1. Develop Your “Goal Statement.”

If you join one of my “Write a Book in a Weekend” events, the first thing I will encourage you to do is write and send me a goal statement describing why you want to write your book and what it will accomplish for you.

It doesn’t have to be long—200-300 words should do it.

And there is great power in those few words—more often than not, it’s the participants who take a few minutes to write and send me their goal statement who get their book done by the end of the weekend. How about that? No coincidences.

2. Describe Your Ideal Reader

When you are in the throes of thinking, thinking, thinking about your book and get caught up in the “doing” of writing, it can be very easy to become, frankly, quite self-absorbed—meaning you lose focus about who the book is for in the first place: your reader.

Another short assignment I would give you as a “Write a Book in a Weekend” participant is to write a short description of your “ideal reader.” Tell me about one person who will benefit from your book. Is it a man or woman? What age? Where do they live? What do they do? And then the big question: what is the biggest problem or challenge they face that your book will solve?

3. Write Your “About the Author”

You might think this is a “save for last” item, however I encourage my peeps to write their “About the Author” section first, stressing not only their own credentials, but the specific problems and challenges their readers face and how they intend to solve them. It’s another good way to get your book defined in your own mind, plus provide yourself with a big picture overview.

4. Take the “10 Minute Challenge”

This is a simple but effective technique to get going on a larger project. Set a timer for 10 minutes and GO, GO, GO, GO, GO! Challenge yourself to see how much you can write in those 10 minutes. Most likely you’ll get such momentum going you’ll add another 10, and another, and another…I use this often, including now as I write this piece. ;-)

5. Speed Write About Your Favorite Topic

Sometimes what gets in our way is thinking too much about what we “should” write versus what we “want” to write. No one says you have to start with Chapter One. A great way to jumpstart your book project is to pick your favorite topic and start writing about that, even if it might be the “wrap up” chapter.

You can see a common theme to all these ideas—getting started somewhere, anywhere! It’s amazing—and also magical—about what getting started can do for a person. I encourage you to pick one or two of the items above, apply them right now, and let me know the results.

Want to take it up a notch (or ten) on Twitter? Do what good tweeters do…

March 2, 2010 By Gina Bell 8 Comments

Do What Good Tweeters DoI was thrilled to be identified as one of the “Top 20 Responsive Women You Need to Follow on Twitter” – By Holly Reisem Hanna founder of The Work at Home Woman.

It sparked a question from my community of women in business online: “Gina, how can I be viewed as a responsive on Twitter too?”

My answer begins with a question for you:

When you login to Twitter to update your status, are you looking at the mutual benefit OR do you have a more singular “what’s in it for me” focus?

Now, don’t get me wrong. We are all in business to be successful and a BIG part of that is making money. And we all want to capture people’s attention (in a good way). The problem is that when we lead from a “what’s in it for me?” intention it comes across as salesy and one-sided.

Think of any relationship in your life… If it was consistently one-sided how long would it last?

People love to buy but they don’t like to be sold to. At a consumer level you already know this so why then do you keep trying to SELL?

The key to attracting new clients and making money through Twitter without being salesy is to shift your intention.

Be interested in others first rather than trying so hard to be interesting to them.

If you are using Twitter for business, do it in a way that adds value and increase to others rather than a blatant sales pitch – Yes, there IS a difference. It may seem counter-intuitive at first but it really works.

Below are two specific things that I do consistently to be responsive.

I believe that adding value and increase to the lives of others without expecting anything in return is the key to reciprocity. What goes around comes around.

Everyone who follows me receives an automatic direct message (auto-DM). I stopped using this technology for a while when people started to abuse it but I’m using it again very effectively.

I don’t know about you but I get DM spam in my twitter inbox every day. Anything that’s similar to “Hi! Thanks for following. Check out my website here …” or “Hi! It’s great to meet you. Here’s my FREE report” gets deleted immediately.

So how do you get YOUR auto-DM to stand out from the crowd? Remember… you’ve got to shift your intention. The example DM’s above are me-focused and salesy. What can you say that shows genuine interest in others and even gets conversation started?

Here’s mine…

“Hi! Thanks for reaching out! What do you love to tweet about the most? ~ Gina”

And guess what…

People respond. People tell me every day what they love to tweet about most. And just the other day someone added that they normally don’t respond to DM’s at all but mine was self-centered at all and they liked that.

The difference between the spammy salesy DM’s and mine is that it engages conversation and builds rapport and opens a door to what really matters… real relationships with real people.

The second thing I love to do is to connect people that should meet. This one’s easy but the key is to pay attention. Read people’s Twitter bios, take notice of what others tweet about and connect like-minded people. This is a great way to make sure you’ve shifted your intention to being interested in others first.

Twitter is where I meet my best joint venture partners too. It’s really become the hub for a lot of my joint venture marketing strategies. If you’ve been wanting to develop joint venture relationships there’s still time to join me for the Ready to JV 4-week Tele-Course starting March 10th.  Just one successful joint venture can dramatically up-level your business.

So now YOU can do what good tweeters do. Give it a try and keep me posted on what you experience as a result okay. I’ll share more tips on how to be more responsive on Twitter again soon.

Wait! While you’re here, I’d sure love for you to share your thoughts and experiences below okay.

“Fake it till you make it.” Savvy Advice or Silent Saboteur? Well… That Depends!

February 24, 2010 By Gina Bell 9 Comments

looking-in-mirrorAuthenticity advocates and heart-centered entrepreneurs cringe at the sound of this phrase – I know, I consider myself to be both. The idea of faking anything sounds terrible (and inauthentic) but I’ve discovered that the core intention of this advice has a lot of merit. (Are you gonna let one little word distract you from the wisdom?)

As with most good advice, there is a caveat… It’s great advice IF you are in transition to your next best self and you have a very clear vision of what that looks like for YOU.

The pitfall occurs when our definition of success is based on the life or business another person has created. We try to be like them, do like they do to the point where we start to sound like them, our websites morph into a mini-me version of theirs. And on it goes until your original vision is no longer visible. (But we’re modeling success – right? Um, thats a whole other conversation we could have!)

In this case the “fake it till you make it” concept has us wandering down a garden path taking us further away from our original desire to be a more successful version of ourselves. When we finally realize we’ve gone astray, the way back seems daunting and in many cases we feel completely lost.

It’s a very frustrating place to be which takes us back to “fake it till you make it”… How in the world can this be a good thing?

Let’s say that you’re on a mission to make 6-figures this year but up to this point you’ve struggled to break 30K/year. Your current identity is not going to get you to a six-figure year. So, what shifts need to happen in your identity (beliefs, behaviours, choices and actions) so you can experience this leap from 30K to 100K?

Here are a few questions to get you started…

What does success look like to you?
What do you want your life and business to be like?
What beliefs, behaviours, choices and actions (or in-action) must exist for you to be this more successful version of yourself?

Once you have this clearly – and authentically – defined, you can truly leverage the fake it till you make it concept. Now you can move forward taking action, making choices and behaving the way a 6-figure version of YOU would do.

“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change” ~ Wayne Dyner

It sounds simple doesn’t it but it requires commitment and persistence.

Here’s some ways you can own this enhanced version of you sooner:

1. Share your goals with people who support you and believe in you (their belief will keep you going through the times when you lack belief in yourself)
2. Hire a coach or mentor to hold you accountable. They will talk you down from the ledge when you’re scared of truly owning this more successful vision of you.

If you are bursting with the desire to truly claim a more successful version of you the first step is to make the decision to do whatever it takes to make it happen. (The next step is to take action.)

You deserve to BE the woman you dream of becoming. How much longer will you push this dream aside?

I have two seats left in my Equity-Rich Women Online Platinum one-to-one coaching program. It’s for success-driven women who are ready to experience a faster speed of success and want to take big leaps in their business this year.

You can read more about it here: http://www.GinaBellinc.com/erw

P.S. Not sure if you’re ready to make an 8 month commitment but still want to see big results this year? I hear you! This is precisely why enrollment to the Equity-Rich Women Online System and Toolkit Pilot Program so low. There’s even a 2-pay option if you register before March 1st.

If you resonate with the principles I’ve been sharing during the free teleseries and on my blog AND if you’re thinking of creating your own signature system this is one of those proverbial “no-brainers” (I don’t really care much for that expression but I haven’t found a better way to tell it like it is).

You’ll gain access to a 12 week (24 module) product creation experience that includes a one-hour strategy session with me; group Q & A’s; unveiling of the entire ERWO System and more! All for just $297.00 and we start on March 23rd.

Top Five Reasons Why It’s So Smart to be Equity-Rich Online

February 9, 2010 By Gina Bell 10 Comments

“Equity-Rich” is more than just a business model…
.
Woman in business online 7

It’s more than a system or process. It’s an approach to doing and being a wildly successful online entrepreneur. It’s like being able to put on a pair of smart glasses that increases your speed of success, from the impact you make to the revenue you generate.

When you make this shift and begin to look at your business from an equity-rich point of view it’s the difference between putting out a fire with a garden hose versus a fire hose. Now you’re getting somewhere right!

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. ~ Wayne Dyer

Having an equity-rich approach to your online success is a smart way to do and be in business… Here’s why:

1. Equity: When you build equity in your business you increase the value of it. Your ability to build equity comes in many forms from the programs and products you create to the systems and business model(s) you leverage. A simple example is a membership-based business. Each new member builds equity in the company. When you are able to clearly identify the equity within your business it becomes an “asset” that you can sell.

An equity-rich approach reaches beyond the traditional “solo-preneur” view and explores what if’s such as… What if there comes a time where you don’t want to (or can’t) continue the business? An equity-rich approach takes the solo out of solopreneur and ensures the life equity (time) you invest in the creation, development and evolution of your business becomes an asset that you or your family (estate) can leverage in the future. (i.e. a company that could be sold despite your involvement).

2. Leverage: Your ability to apply leverage within your business is what enables you to make more in less time, to do more with less effort. From time, money, expertise, relationships, energy, business model and more… there are a multitude of ways to leverage what you’ve got to get what you really want.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… Why just do it when you can REALLY do it?

3. Asset Development: An equity-rich approach to business explores asset creation and how each asset adds value (equity) to the business as well as to your ideal clients. An example of an asset is an in-demand product or service. An “equity-rich” asset is one that can be leveraged to build equity from a long-term perspective.

4. ROI (Return on Investment): Starting and growing a thriving business online requires an investment of time, money, faith and more. An equity-rich approach looks at how you can get the best return on your investment – for the long term.

When you make decisions from this equity-rich vantage point it becomes easy to evaluate what’s smart and what’s not. Your ability to build equity, create and leverage assets for the greatest return on investment becomes a filter that makes evaluating opportunities easy-peasy!

Clarity = confidence and it is the heart beat of an equity-rich approach that supports the leaps and momentum success-driven women crave.

5. Legacy: Now here’s where SMART meets BIG THINKER… When an entrepreneur looks at their business in this way everyone wins. It’s the difference between a hobby business and a business owner/CEO.

As I mentioned above, an equity-rich approach to business looks beyond the solo in solopreneur and explores the question… what if you didn’t want to keep doing this business or what if something happened and you couldn’t. What measures are in place to ensure that your family can fully leverage your success?

From the creation of an online operations manual, multiple and passive revenue streams to the very foundation of your business model, you can build an equity-rich business that honors your legacy – adding value and increase to the lives of your ideal clients and the lives of your family – whether you’re actively engaged or not.

An equity-rich approach to business is a catalyst that accelerates success long term. If you’d like to explore the concept further, join me for the Equity-Rich Women Online Teleseries. It’s on now… http://www.ginabellinc.com/erw/preview
