Brendon Burchard’s High Performance Academy 2012 Event
By: Amber Ludwig, Website Development • Social Media Branding • Internet Marketing Coaching
I just got wind that Brendon Burchard’s new book “The Charge: Activating the 10 Human Drives that Make You Feel Alive” is not only available for pre-order but he’s offering everyone a free copy (we just have to pay shipping). Wish I had seen this before I bought it on Amazon! lol
I’ve been looking forward to the release of this book since I was at his Expert’s Academy last September and he said he was going to take 4 weeks off to write his next bestselling book. He did, the book is out, and it going to be FABULOUS, I already know it!! I know it because all of his book are fabulous and this one is of particular interest to me since it’s all about High Performance!
For the past few years Brendon has been running this amazing academy called High Performance Academy to teach the public how to perform at our peak levels. Interested?? Me too!

How to Manage the Overwhelm for Creative Minds + Take the Product Creation Pledge
By: Amber Ludwig, Website Development • Social Media Branding • Internet Marketing Coaching
Just in the past two days, you wouldn’t realize how many ideas came into my mind of ways I wanted to, or could, expand my business. Tons of product ideas, GOOD ideas, tasks added to my to-do list… this all on top of my existing work load.
Being an entrepreneur is very challenging and can get overwhelming quick. You must manage your existing projects well so you can increase retention and build a committed following, but then you must also have a strong focus on product creation and expansion (not to mention just maintaining the work you’ve produced so far).
So how to you manage the overwhelm you feel when you’re getting so many good ideas and you know you don’t have time to execute them all?
Below I’m going to offer you a few things I do that you are welcome to try:

Repost: The Ultimate Facebook Marketing Cheat Sheet
By: Amber Ludwig, Website Development • Social Media Branding • Internet Marketing Coaching
Today’s training is shared from HubSpot and an article posted by Pamela Vaughan. It was just too good not to share. 
The Ultimate Facebook Marketing Cheat Sheet
Facebook’s social network domination may frequently get challenged by emerging social media platforms like Google+, but the facts remain. With more than 845 million members in its user base, it’s still the most popular social network around.
And yes, businesses are beginning to understand its potential to help them achieve their marketing goals. In fact, 41% of B2B companies and 62% of B2C companies using Facebook have acquired a customer from it.
That being said, learning all the nuances of various social networks can be a tricky and time-consuming feat, especially considering how frequently they add, remove, and modify features. To help you stay ahead of the curve, we’ve put together a handy cheat sheet that businesses and marketers can use to make the most of Facebook.

Get More eMailing List Subscribers: Keys to a Great Free Introductory Product Incentive
By: Amber Ludwig, Website Development • Social Media Branding • Internet Marketing Coaching
Gone are the days that you can just add a sign-up box on your website and ask people to “sign up for your newsletter.” In fact, many have found that newsletters just plain don’t work anymore. I actually only email my list when there’s something I think they really need to know about. I’m getting about 100 emails a day from clients (none of it is junk) so I know the pain of just wanting that Inbox empty.
However, your email list is STILL your #1 online asset! You can market to those people again and again, they will stay loyal to you (assuming you have good email practices) and they will buy from you down the road. The key is to offer a free incentive that showcases your expertise and value, that people WANT.

YouTube Background Design to Further Your Brand Messaging
By: Amber Ludwig, Website Development • Social Media Branding • Internet Marketing Coaching
Do you have a YouTube account, but your background is a solid color and not promoting your brand at all? YouTube is one of the largest social media sites in the world, just following Facebook. Video is the most popular media type online and will continue to be the growing trend for a long time.
If you do not have a YouTube account, then first, I need to urge you to get on this wagon by setting up an account and taking the video plunge today.
If you do have a YouTube account, you must, must get it branded, otherwise you are literally wasting the opportunity. Every single time someone views your video, they should be staring at your website URL, photo, logo, tagline – or testimonials, a service list – anything that will drive people back to your website to learn more about what your message is.
See below for my YouTube background and examples of a recent YouTube channel backgrounds we designed: (click to zoom)

Calling all Published or Newbie Authors and Entrepreneurs! No Joke, You Need to Read This Information that Will Guide Your Career!
By: Amber Ludwig, Website Development • Social Media Branding • Internet Marketing Coaching
Have you ever wanted to peek behind the curtain into the publishing industry to find out what it really takes to write, publish and sell a game-changing book?
I just got off the phone with one of my most trusted and and respected contacts in the author and publishing world who told me that Mike Michalowicz, author of the “business cult classic,” The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur and The Pumpkin Plan (Penguin, July 2012)… is offering a rare insider’s look into how he leveraged the success of his first book to go from an unknown to industry authority in less than four years.
I’m telling you this because a large portion of my readers are authors and you NEED to know about what’s happening here…
In two weeks Mike will be hosting a 2-hour teleseminar (a birdie told be to plan longer because of some extra education planned for the end). The call is called “Anatomy of a Perennial Bestseller.”

Beginner Blogging Basics – Part I: Getting Started
By: Guest Blogger
This is a guest article written by #1 bestselling author Pamela Zimmer:
I turn on my computer, log into Google, and with coffee in hand I stare at the blinking cursor in the search box, wondering what to type. I want to start a blog, but I have no idea where to begin. Does this sound like you? This was me, a little over one year ago. I had ideas, I had passion, I had no clue. If you can still relate, then keep reading as I’m going to share with you some beginner blogging basics.
Why are you blogging?
The first question you have to answer can only be answered by you. What is your intention for you blog? Is it solely as a personal, creative outlet? Is it to generate income? Is it to help build and supplement your business? For me, the answer is all of the above, but it didn’t start off that way.
