A big part of having a successful online business, is to have a ‘Marketing Funnel’.

If you are wondering: “What is a ‘Marketing Funnel’ well here is the definition: A ‘Marketing Funnel’, also known as a ‘Sales Funnel’, is a process by which you lead people through a series of web pages and email opt in boxes, to guide them to purchase your programs and services.  It’s a way to capture, and filter people out, so that you get the best customers possible.

Often the best way to explain something is with pictures! :)

And I have created a short video today for you (3 min long) to explain how a simple Marketing Funnel might work.

When building a website, one of the things you are going to want to have is images on your website.  But not everyone has time to go out and shoot images with a camera, or create original artwork.  Well no worries because you can use stock photography!

I prefer to use iStockPhoto (my link for them is  http://www.christinasresources.com/istock/ ) because I know that I am getting royalty free images and I don’t have to worry about anything.  They are low cost, AND they give away free images each week!

‘Stock photography’ or ‘Stock images’ are images created by professionals  licensed for specific uses. Stock images are  used to fulfill the needs of any creative work,  instead of having to hire a photographer or illustrator.  People use them all the time for website or documents.

Where do you like to get your stock images?  Leave a comment below…

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, it’s pretty obvious that women are an important ‘market demographic’ these days.  The power of the purse has never been stronger!

Women make 85% of all buying decisions, head 40% of households and run 40% of US companies – and that’s  just the tip of the iceberg.

Statistics show that women influence the majority of  buying decisions across the board – from electronics to cars to houses to shampoo…

But the best news about women buyers is their commitment.  Once a woman finds a product or service she loves, not  only is SHE loyal, she can’t wait to share the news!
That means cultivating a relationship with HER is a really good investment for YOU!

The problem is most copywriting formulas used today speak only to MEN and alienate women.

Well my friend and colleague, Lorrie Morgan-Ferrero of Red Hot Copy, is a ground-breaking pioneer when it comes to writing to sell to WOMEN.

One of the great things about WordPress, is that you can ‘schedule’ your posts to go out in the future.  That means that you can write your articles ahead of time, and have them appear on your site on the specified date.

Watch this short video where I explain how it works:

 

First you edit the date and pick a date in the future –> then you click on the “Schedule” button

 

And once you do that, your WordPress Post will go out to your site automatically!

If you have been pondering, simmering, growing, or percolating an idea inside of you, but it hasn’t quite come to fruition, this short animated video can shed some light as to where your good ideas come from.

And how to nurture and feed those ideas, so that they can manifest.  Click below to watch…

What I love about this video, is that you realize  it’s OK to take a while to implement an idea you have.

You see, good ideas need time, space, and interaction to bubble to the surface and become expressed.
That’s part of the creative process.

So what good ideas are you working on?
