Whether or not you’re getting the most out of LinkedIn may be open for discussion. The same holds true for virtually any social network. You may have an account and a profile, but are you getting the most out of your efforts?

Each social network has specific strategies you must implement in order to optimize what you are doing. With LinkedIn your profile plays a big role as to whether or not you are easy to find beyond someone simply imputing your name. Ideally when someone inputs keywords that are specific to what you do your profile is near (or at) the top.

Unfortunately, this is not the case for most people listed on LinkedIn. Only a fraction of active members are found based on keyword searches. Why? Because most experts are incredibly ambiguous in how they describe themselves, who their market is and what their background is.

Expertise
Although there are some profiles that are very detailed and specific to an area of expertise there are countless more that are not.

The one commonality in the majority of the profiles is an ambiguous identification of what the person does and who their target market is.

For example, in the coaching industry there are life coaches, business coaches, executive coaches, marketing consultant, etc. Although some may think this is enough of an identifier to attract the right type of client… it’s not.

The question that begs to be asked is, “What kind of Life Coach and for whom?” “Who are you a marketing consultant for? What industry and type of client?”

A life coach for recently divorced professional women is very different than a life coach for professional athletes. A marketing consultant for the equestrian industry is very different than one for the entertainment industry.

Ask most coaches and consultants what their major challenge in business is and they will likely answer, “Attracting enough of the right kind of clients.” The right kind of clients would be those you are a great match for and they are a great match for your expertise.

The solution… be clear on who you are and who your ideal client is.

To attract more than enough business you have to be much more specific about who you are and what makes you an expert.

Ambiguity won’t work. In the past it might have, but today there are far too many coaches and consultants for a client to choose from. This means the more specific you are the better.

Some may believe that by being too specific they are eliminating business. Actually, you are. But it’s likely the business that is a better fit for someone else rather than you.

When you are viewed as an expert for a specific market (or markets) you actually have an easier time attracting an abundance of clients for your practice/business AND you will attract more of the types of clients you want to work with.

If your business is not where you want it to be start with the basics:

• Who am I? What is my expertise? What is unique about what I do?
• Who do I enjoy working with? Who am I qualified to work with? Who do I want to work with?

             Consider this:

• Is your profile clear and specific?
• Will you stand out from the thousands of others who might be vying for the same business you are?
• Will potential clients have an easy time finding you?

If you answered NO to the “consider this” questions rework your profile as soon as possible. To see what’s working for other experts do a profile search with the keywords your potential clients would use to find someone with your expertise.

Notice which experts rise to the top of a search. Review their profile. How have they positioned their expertise AND how does the description of the type of clients they work with read?

Reworking your profile is not something that should be put on the “someday I will do it” list. Do it immediately. After all, don’t you want to begin attracting more business immediately?

To learn more about how to attract more of the right kind of business join in for the FREE New Horizons Telesummit, February 23th & 24^th   Marcia Bench, Jeff Herring, Bill Baren, Denise Wakeman, Viki Winterton will be joined by other leading experts where you will learn exactly what to do to create an abundant coaching and/or consulting business.

Hello Everyone:

Posting first recording from the Celebrate Success 2011 radio talk show. In this show my colleague and co-host Teresa Beeman provide an introduction and purpose of the show. Attached is the link to the show. Enjoy!

It is not everyday that one gets an interview up close and personal with Kathleen Gage. This is my first celebrity interview. You might be wondering how was I able to land such an opportunity with a marketing powerhouse like Kathleen Gage. Here are some tips on landing interviews with experts. If I can do it, so can you.

1) Do your Research

Started to follow Kathleen Gage by signing up for her teleseminars and getting to learn more about her. My specialty is marketing and sales. Inorder to continue to increase my knowledge base, both to grow personally and professionally one needs to further their education. Follow the experts in your area of specialty and target niche.

2) Attend Live Events and Conferences

Last May, attended the Radiant Success Event and that’s how I met Kathleen in person. Great opportunity to connect with not only like minded individuals, but the experts, speakers, and potential joint venture partners as well. Lot’s of visibility at these functions. What better way to seal the deal than in person.

3) What do you do after an event

Keep in touch with the people you meet. Half the time we acquire so many business cards and hardly ever follow through. Communication is key. With social media, and advanced technology in the 21st century there is simply no reason why you should not be keeping in touch with your prospects and clients. It’s not like the days of the pony express.

Enjoy the recording below. Just click on link.

Surrendering to a Conscious Way of Life

Kathleen Gage

I grew up in a typical middle-class home: loving parents, the youngest of three girls, a solid religious foundation, never wanting for the necessities while enjoying a comfortable life. In spite of this, I made choices that placed me in turmoil, drifting from day to day with no clear purpose, having nowhere to call home, all the while mastering the art of being unemployable.
By my 25th year I hit the lowest point imaginable. Not sure how this happened, I was quick to blame everyone but myself for the lack to which I became accustomed. I was abusing various substances to ease the pain, yet the more I attempted to escape, the greater the pain got.
My daily mantra was, “God, not another day.”
So, how did I go from this life of desperation to one in which I am blessed to do what I love, enjoying amazing abundance in all areas of my life, including clarity of mind and spirit?
I learned how to tap into an incredible source of energy that took me from a well-seasoned underachiever to an extremely high achiever.
This didn’t happen overnight. Nor did it happen without a few bumps in the road; some minor, some major.
Having come from a place of complete lack, with ever-increasing success (or what I thought success should be) I experienced something I never imagined. I became fearful of losing everything only to return to a life of desperation.
The greater the fear, the harder I pushed for success. At one point that meant getting as many awards and recognitions possible. Yet nothing would fill the secret hole I felt in my gut.

Be in the Blog Spotlight

Hello Everyone:

Learning to let go of our blogs and putting  it out there is the hardest thing to to. I realize it is our baby and the fear of what people might think when they read our blog post. Will they like us and will they come back for more! What do you do when no one notices you or even visit your blog? Such a sad shame. Then you start to internalize and get feelings of “What’s wrong with the picture? Nobody loves me! The reality is once your blog is out. You got to be visible! How do people know you or even find out about you?

How to Get More Visibility

Guest Blogging

Be a guest blogger- That is writing a blog post for someone else’s blog. This will not only get one noticed and provide more visibility. When readers from the other blog sees your post and wants to know more about your services/product they will visit your site. There is also a little bio that is printed at the bottom. How cool is that! You are being marketed!

Here is an example: Yvonne A. Jones   from Maintain a Success Circle in Direct Sales & Relationship Marketing (click on Yvonne’s name to get to her actual site for more info) asked me to be a guest blogger for her weekly “Monday Writer” series on her blog.

This is what the guest blog post looked like 4 Reasons Why Customer Service is Critical to the Growth of your Business

Comments

Why bother commenting? Yes, I admit in the beginning I was shy and did not want to write the first comment because other people may judge me. It’s nothing serious. The reason why you comment on other blogs is that you send a message to the blogger that they wrote valuable content or not and if it made a difference of some kind or impact. Commenting is a good thing. Restaurants always want you us fill out their comment cards to let them know what the experience was like and how they can continue to provide great service. We learn things from one another. Since I love using WordPress, there are so many new materials that comes on board. The blog posts that I frequent will provide updates that I am not aware of. So I give them credit and Thank them. What happens then? Magic!

A) The blogger just noticed that their blog post was a resource and helped someone that makes them feel good
B) This blogger will probably want to check you out and find out more about who you are and what you are all about
C) The readers who frequent her/his blog will notice your comment and will want to check you out as well

Just feel the love! It’s all about reciprocating people.

Tweet This, FaceBook, Share this and Digg that people

Do not forget to have a tweetme, facebook share, Share this and Digg buttons on your blog. These are plugins that you can upload to your wordpress site. Why are these buttons important? Do I really need one? Social media such as Twitter, Facebook, Linked In can provide visibility and exposure to your blog. When readers visit your blog and find your information valuable then they want to share it with their friends and others who needs to see your stuff. What better way to get noticed and more visibility then getting syndicated all over Twitter and Facebook. No fun tweeting your own blog articles. Having others tweet and retweet your material makes you more of an expert.

Blog Challenges

Evaluate if a blog challenge is right for you first. It is a chunk of time that you have to committ to. How is it going to be received with your readers? If you do not have a lot of traffic visiting your site or you want to challenge yourself to blog on a consistant basis then participating in a blog challenge is right for you. Being in a blog challenge has it’s rewards.

A) Meet other bloggers and like minded people
B) Other blogger will tweet and comment on your blog post
C) Get customer and new clients

Also you can join the Continuity Blogging Community on Facebook, and continue to post your blog post and get more readers and connect with other bloggers

This was a fun blog post. I have so many more tips, but these are the core ones to get you started. If you want more blogging information. Fill in the opt-in box on the upper right hand corner and I will send the latest buzz on what happening in the blogging world.

Happy Blogging!

Hello Everyone:

Here is another tool to accentuate your blog. If you are uncomfortable with posting your own video, then consider this tool from You Tube Search Stories Video Creator. This is a great way to show a video of your website, blog and picture all in one. It is sort of like an introduction with a mini-commercial or preview of your product/service. Another marketing tool to be sent via the social media through Twitter, Facebook, You Tube, etc…

So, Who the heck is Coach Jane Lee? Based on the short story video. I left corporate america to start my own full-time coaching practice. Yes, I love to blog and even formed a Facebook Fan Page called “Continuity Community Community” to connect with other bloggers. As a marketing and sales coach, I empower and teach solo entrepreneurs how to authentically sell.

What is your story? Look forward to seeing your video.

Happy Blogging!

There have been questions from some of my readers on which tool I used to produce my first live video. Here is the blog post for your review if you have not seen it. It is a welcome message to the members of the “Continuity Blogging Commnuity” a Facebook Fan Page that was created to connect with other bloggers.

July 28 blog post  “3 Lessons Learned from Taping my First Live Video”    

So, what camera did I use? Inquiring bloggers want to know.

The camera that I use to tape the online is the Flip UltraHD Camcorder, 120 Minutes (Black)

 The Flip is so easy to use. Just point and click on the red button to record and press the red button to end recording. It’s that simple!

 The Flip uses AA battery or you can recharge the battery pack provided.

There is the built in Flip share software that appears after you plug the USB into your laptop or computer. Once you edit the video, make sure you download final edits onto computer so you can share with friends and followers via email, facebook, twitter, you tube and blog.

One thing to remember, the flip has a built in microphone make sure you jack up the volume prior to recording and bring camera close to you so it will capture you voice.

Do you have a Flip camcorder? What has been your experience with making videos using this tool? We love to hear from you.

Happy Blogging!
