The Google Alert You Never Got

By Alex Mandossian on March 11, 2010

On March 11th, I received an email alert from my buddy, Marc Harty who posts his PR Traffic tips on this blog.

His email was disturbing because it was in response to an an email he received from my about my Virtual Book Tour with another buddy of mine, Harvey Mackay.

Here’s what Marc wrote me:

Alex, I wanted to let you know this right away … Gmail doesn’t show URLs with initial caps as link. This changed happened recently.  For a URL to be a link in Gmail it needs to contain:  1. the “www” and 2. all lowercase . Thought you should know.

Gee, thanks Marc … both  my emails for Harvey Mackay were in the queue and sent, so I couldn’t anything about it and I did get over 500 people on that VBT to listen in … but I wonder how many more people could have listened if I was aware of the recent change.

If you’re scratching you head right now say “Huh?” to yourself, then do yourself a favor and watch a 2 min. 5 sec video posted by Frank Bauer.  It’s the best explanation I’ve seen and he posted it back on Feb. 10th!

Click here for the video tutorial and please put a ton of comments on Frank’s blog and show him some love :-)  Tell him I sent you.  His “fluff-free” style of explaining the predicament that Google failed to announce is worth passing on.

What To Do Now: 1) Watch the VIDEO … 2) Comment and share … and as Frank says, 3) Have “an awesome day!”

The Secret to Getting Traffic From Articles

By Jeff Herring on February 25, 2010

article marketing, jeff herring, ezinearticles,traffic,resource boxArticle Marketing is the number one source of free traffic on the Internet if you get your Resource Box right. Get this one wrong and you have wasted all your time. Get this one right and you have got it made!

What a Resource Box really is

Call it a Resource Box, Author Bio, etc., what it really is is your opportunity to create a compelling call to action for your reader. 

Even though it is called an Author Bio, it is not the time for you to tell the reader all about you and convince them you are an expert. In fact, if you have not demonstrated that you are an expert in your article, it is way to late to try to do it now.

Even though it is an official Call to Action, I like to teach my students and members to use what I call “invitational language” in their Resource Box. Invitational language can be something as simple as “and now I would like to invite you to…” and then name the next action you would like them to take. 

This is as opposed to something like “get this great new product now and all your problems will be solved by morning and if you don’t you will be broke forever!”

Sure I’ve exaggerated a bit, but not by much.

Here’s how to do it

The “Social Gathering Power” of Reunions

By Alex Mandossian on February 16, 2010

TSS ReunionOne of the most fundamental ways to stay united with your colleagues and friends is through the power of Reunions.

Unlike seminars or workshops, Reunion events are not episodic and thus create a greater sense of community and unity among the participants who attend.

(The picture on the upper left of this post is the SFO Marriott where I’m hosting my annual Teleseminarian Reunion this year – March 5th and 6th)

Click here if you’re in a big hurry and watch the video now.

If you’ve ever thought of hosting a conference, workshop or seminar, think instead of tapping into the continuity power of what a Reunion can bring to you and your tribe.

Reunions can be held weekly with professional networking groups like what BNI members do throughout the world, or monthly with private mastermind groups.  They can even occur every 60 days such as CEO Space gatherings or annually such as my Teleseminarian Reunion … even every decade like high school reunions.

The time of year or frequency isn’t as important as the gathering power that Reunions create. When I say gathering power, I mean building the sense of belonging or feeling of unity espoused by the members of your community.

And whether those communities are twenty or two-thousand members strong, there are 3 key advantages that Reunions participants have over attending episodic workshops or seminars.  These are the 3 unifying elements that espouse more social gathering power:

  1. Unique language or vocabulary
  2. Unique community or culture
  3. Unique facilitation or leadership

How To Master Your “Little Voice” Inside

By Alex Mandossian on January 26, 2010

Little Voice MasteryI have no idea if you and I have ever met, but I do feel I know these two things about you:

1)  You have a “Little Voice” deep inside of you

2) That “Little Voice” doesn’t always support you

It doesn’t matter if your business is booming, or if it’s on life support, your “Little Voice” inside is typically the unseen force that drives you to success or failure in everything you do or don’t do.

Click here to see the Little Voice video if you’re in a hurry.

Let me explain: For the past three decades, my colleague Blair Singer has carefully studied, learned, taught and mastered the secret to winning the war between the ears in 30 seconds or less – and enjoy an extraordinary life.

Let me say that again so it really sinks in …”How to Win the War Between Your Ears in 30 seconds or Less – and Have an Extraordinary Life!” is the subtitle of Blair’s newest book, Little Voice Mastery.

His book’s subtitle is also the promise that he and I intend to keep if you, and nine of your friends, decide to join us for our Little Voice Bookinar Series that starts soon.  What I’m talking about here is an unprecedented and remarkable Buy 1, Get 9 Free special offer!

Introducing the “Think – Play” Matrix

By Alex Mandossian on January 12, 2010

Abundance2Where you end-up in the Think-Play Matrix determines the results you get in your personal and professional life.

Click here in you’re in a hurry to watch the video now.

This simple 4-quadrant model offers an interesting and fresh new perspective into the abundance vs. scarcity mindsets and I’ve chosen it as my topic of discussion on the evening of January 21st, during the Virtual Abundance Expo.

What Is The Think-Play Matrix? Picture an “X-Y Axis” that has a 4-quadrant grid inside it.  The “X” axis that runs east and west represents the way you Think.   It’s about the “inner game” of the thoughts driven by the head, or what you think about.

The “Y” axis that runs north and south represents the way you Play. It’s more about the “outer game” of what your heart inspires you to do , or how you play.

If the X-axis represents the head and the Y-axis represents the heart, then the 4 possible Think-Play combinations are: (more …)

TWITTER: No One Cares?

By Jeff Herring on January 5, 2010

Nobody CaresCould it be true? Nobody cares about what you “tweet” about on Twitter?

Yes, it could be true.

IF you are just blathering uninteresting stuff about your life and not interacting with anyone.

IF you are DMing people with your latest “Mafia Wars” news (do you even HAVE a life?) or giving someone a gift of “Corona” and demanding a gift back (truly bad form).

It’s sad too, because your could be using your Twitter platform to make a difference in the lives of those who want and need to learn from you.

So then the question becomes “Just what do we tweet about then, Jeff?”

I’m glad you asked. I’ve got a new article all about what to tweet about. Here’s a hint: It’s all about tweeting about LIFE!

Click here to give it a read. The article will pop up in a new window. After you read it, I would like for you to do at least 3 things:

1) Click on the links in the Resource Box so you can get our FREE 4 Part Video Training Series from The Social Marketing Blueprint

Alex’s 33 Slow-Read Book List for 2010

By Alex Mandossian on December 31, 2009

33 Slow-Read BooksThis video I’ve prepared combines the two Productivity Tips of the “morning review” principle and the 33 slowest-read books in my library.

Click here if you’re in a hurry to watch the video now.

Please comment & share with my other readers (and viewers) your favorite books to re-view … those books you find yourself reviewing and re-reading again and again and again and again … for new insights, new discoveries, new lessons.

My list is made of 33 books.  And I call it my slow-read list because I read and re-read these books slowly, like  studying a “how to” course.

Click on the (more…) link below to see the complete list of 33 books.

The morning review – as I indicate in the video – is my private reading time I hold sacred each morning before I check email, voice mail or even get a cup of tea to start my day.  It’s the first thing I do … even when I travel.

I set my countdown timer for 33 minutes and then re-view a book from my list of 33 slow-read books in my library that you see in the video.
