9 Action Steps You Can Take Right Now to Turn Your Book Dream Into a Reality

Guest expert post by Susan Daffron

Almost everyone I meet tells me that they want to write a book.

“I have a great idea for a book!” she says. And it might be. You can have all the great ideas in the world, but nothing happens until you start taking action.

People often ask me how I published 10 books in such a short period of time. Or how Gina has managed to bring together 30 women to create the upcoming Success Rituals 2.0 book.

The answer is because we took action.

When you focus intently on what you really want, the results can be huge. Content marketing has given me a 6-figure income stream and countless opportunities that absolutely never would have happened had I not taken action.

If you’ve ever thought about writing a book, make it happen. Here are nine things you can do right now to start turning your dream book into a reality. [Read more...]

“Nurture your mind with great thoughts for you will never go any higher than you think.” ~ Benjamin Disraeli

Twitter Tips: 5 Things to do Before You Start to Tweet

Everything in social media takes time to learn. Decoding the information and learning to make the network work for you and your business is a trick. It can be mastered with preparation and practice. Twitter is a great place to connect with people, including clients and prospects along with presenting yourself as an expert in your market.

Here are a few things to do before you get started:

1. Know what you want to promote on Twitter. You only have 140 characters to get your message across so if you are going to direct followers to a squeeze page, website or blog be prepared to deliver a concise message that includes a tiny link.

2. Be prepared to spend time engaging in conversation. Twitter, like other social media is worth the effort because of the ‘social’ part of the media. You can engage clients, prospects, experts in conversation. That means you need to respond to questions, thoughts and ideas that make sense to your business. Promoting on Twitter requires back and forth engagement not just one way communication. Social media etiquette rules rule. Be sure to thank for retweets and follows.

3. Add value. You do not need to be selling all the time. You are developing your brand and promoting your expertise by directing followers to good articles, great websites, and interesting blog posts. You can become a trusted source for information and build trust with your followers, enhancing your brand.

4. Be authentic; reflect your brand – always. This includes being sure that those you follow or who follow you also reflect your brand. The easiest way to do this is check out their profile information and make sure you are aligned. Visit their website or blog to ensure they reflect your values.

5. Be consistent. Once you are gathering followers, they will want to hear from you – this is especially true when your content is amazing!

Marketing strategy is 80% preparation, 20% implementation. A social media marketing strategy requires the same commitment. Know what you want to do and the results you are looking for before you get started. It will save you time and potentially your reputation in the future.
