Mompreneurs low on time and energy can now leverage WAHM-Articles.com new social networking community

Many women with home businesses discover that being a work at home mom requires a lot more time, money and energy than they had expected.

If your time and energy is in short supply, and your business needs a boost, WAHM-Articles.com has launched a new social networking community that might help.

The WAHM-Articles Forum helps work-at-home-moms learn how to market their businesses in less time and more effectively by using article marketing. Article marketing is a marketing strategy where you write articles to promote your products and services and let others publish them for free in exchange for a link back to your site.

Many of the members at the WAHM-Articles Forum are experienced article marketers and publishers, so it’s a great place to hook up with website owners who are looking for articles like yours and ask all your article marketing questions.

In the forum, they talk about everything to do with article marketing, including:

- How to write articles that get more traffic to your website or blog
- How to use your articles to get more subscribers to your mailing list
- How to get your article readers to visit your website
- How to convince those website visitors to buy from you.

Joining the forum is free. There is also a Platinum membership that gives you access to article reviews, article marketing training, and valuable resources and discounts. Platinum memberships are available for an introductory price of just $50 a year.

If you want to learn how to get more traffic and sales in less time, I recommend you go to http://www.WAHM-Articles.com/forum and register for a free account.

I’m a member and I’ve already learned a lot from the community there. If you join us, you can discover how to spend less time on marketing your website so you have more time spend with the kids, or on taking your business to the next level. It’s also a great place to network with like-minded WAHM-focused entrepreneurs.

I’d love to see you there! You can register at http://www.WAHM-Articles.com/forum

Happy Networking (& article marketing!)

My Best,

$1800 Gift from Bob Proctor!

Wow! We thought Bob was kidding when we heard it! But it’s true… Bob Proctor’s practically GIVING AWAY $1,800.00

If you’re in a hurry… all the details are here: http://snipurl.com/sgr200

In case you weren’t lucky enough to get in the teleseminar we told you about, we want you to know about the gift Bob Proctor announced. He’s letting go of $1,800.00.

Here’s the catch: He normally charges $2,000.00 for the entire Science of Getting Rich Program (which is phenomenal by the way!); but today Bob is letting you have the SGR for less than $200. (This is really unbelievable and we invested far more than this when we purchased the program two years ago – no regrets!)

Is Bob crazy to do this? No, if you heard the teleseminar, you’ll know that his motive here is that he really just wants to help. So he’s letting go of $1800.00 and letting you have ALL of it for less than $200. http://snipurl.com/sgr200

We know it may sound too good to be true, but it is absolutely your lucky day!

Go. Now…  http://snipurl.com/sgr200

Cheers,

Gina & Stephen Bell, co-Founders
Networking Masters International

PS: If you’re LUCKIER, you’ll catch the early bird bonus (only 500 copies — about half of that is gone as we write this) http://snipurl.com/sgr200

What’s Newsworthy In Your Business?

So, you want to be tomorrow’s headliner. Every day, you’re working in your business dealing with clients, selling products or services, and it seems to be the “same old same old.” Things are going okay, but there’s nothing new to report. Nothing exciting going on! How are you supposed to get in the news?

That’s the big question… how do you find an angle that grabs attention and makes you stand apart? How do you find an idea that will get you free publicity?

To uncover the newsworthiness in your business, think about your ideal customer – your target market.

Put yourself in his or her shoes and ask:

• What would make me excited?
• What would make me want to learn more?

Then spin an angle that editors will respond to. But remember, you’re pitching a story idea – not an advertisement.

When you think about the stories you read in the newspaper, what is it that captures your attention? What makes it interesting for you?

Now turn that thought process inward. What is it about you or your business that would be of interest to others?

The juiciest idea may be in the details. For example, have you ever read a story about someone who graduated from high school? Probably not. It’s common…but if that person was a senior citizen or has suffered a major trauma, think of the spin that would place on the story. A story is enhanced if it contains an oddity or conflict. Look for the human interest value such as children, family, animals, diverting crisis. Here are a few ideas to get the ideas spinning.

• Is there anything interesting in your background that you can tie in?
• Trips you have taken that have added value to your services? For example a life coach that has backpacked around the globe, studied with Buddhist Monks, swam with the sharks, and discovered the importance of living in harmony with nature has a unique story to spin on helping clients find inner peace.
• Can you tie your expertise in to a world trend?
• What’s happening in the world around you, and how does it affect your customers?
• Human interest aspects can be used to spark interest. This could include the struggle and the victory of developing a new product or event. And the people behind the scenes can be instrumental in capturing emotion and attention.

Remember you’re not creating an advertisement; your story needs to be a newsworthy account about you or your company and of interest to the readers. The right angle should be both timely and entertaining.

If you think of a good twist that you think may be interesting, test it. Ask your clients…if they want to hear more, you know you’re on to a winner.

Hello Networking Entrepreneurs!

A warm welcome to all of our new subscribers! We’re so happy to have you as part of our community.

One thing you’ll come to know for certain is that I (Gina Bell, your Publisher today) LOVE quotes! And I’ve found the perfect one to kick off this issue of Networking with Ease… it’s inspiring and thought provoking too!

“You are one connection away from being able to change your life.”
Author, Larry Bennett

Connecting with others in meaningful ways certainly paves the way for life changing relationships. The question is… are you paying attention?

In this week’s issue of Networking with Ease, our feature article explores this very topic and how “conscious networking” is essential to making meaningful (even million dollar) connections. Enjoy!

Conscious Networking… Are You Paying Attention?
~ Gina Bell Bell, co-Founder of Networking Masters International

Today, more than ever before, it’s essential that entrepreneurs develop and really leverage their networking skills.

When the economy thrives the focus tends to be on financial capital, financial equity, physical assets, etc… it’s a lot easier to access funding through a bank or investors right.

During times of economic uncertainty… purse strings are tightened, access to financial support is limited or non-existent. All of a sudden the same assets and equity no longer have the same degree of leverage.

What entrepreneurs often don’t realize is that relationships and the social equity developed as a result has a direct reflection on financial capital.

Surrounding yourself with a network of people who really care about your success is like having an insurance policy for success – regardless of the economy. This network, your community will provide strategic introductions, referrals, information, advice and more… all of which can have a dramatic financial result.

So, have you started paying closer attention to your network yet? Do you have a follow up keep in touch plan? Are you staying visible? Are you memorable? Are you adding value and increase to the lives and businesses in your community? (this applies to your online networks too).

Action Tip: Spend some time thinking about this today and take it one step further… identify two people that you know who should meet based on mutual interest or mutual goals. Introduce them. Tell them why you think they should connect – who knows, you may have set the stage for their “million dollar connection”

Here are two more great articles to get your networking working:

• * An Interview with co-Founder Stephen Bell on “True Networking”
  
• * Media Releases… Defining Your Audience by Networking with the Media expert Susan Regier
