OK – we give in! After interviewing Robert Plank and Lance Tamashiro on how they use webinars in their business, and after participating in many of Connie Ragen Green’s webinars, we decided it was time to take the webinar plunge ourselves.

You are invited to join us at a huge discount for our first live webinar. It’s on how to create your own Facebook Fan Page and the strategies around using them effectively.

Watch us create a Fan Page from scratch, showing you step-by-step how to set it up. Ask your questions live during the webinar. Learn and laugh (hopefully with us and not at us, but since this is our first live webinar, you might get to do both).

This webinar will become a $77 online course, but you can save $50 by signing up before the webinar – which is Tuesday, March 9th at 6 PM Mountain (8 PM Eastern). You can get this great deal by entering SAVE50 in the coupon box when you place your order – then you get the whole webinar for only $27!

Click Here to Save50 on this live webinar! Remember to enter the coupon code SAVE50 in the coupon box and click ‘apply’ – the price should immediately change from $77 to just $27.

This webinar should be both entertaining (you should see some of the people already registered – they are kind of known for being irreverent – which we totally love! I won’t name names, but you know who you are…) and informative.

At the end of the webinar, you will know exactly what to do and how to do it, step by step, in setting up your own Facebook Fan Page. And you’ll also learn how to get your first fans!

You will also have access to the course when it goes live, so you can go back and watch it whenever you need to do so. Others will pay $77 (and it’s a great deal at that price) – but if you act fast (register BEFORE the webinar starts), you can get the live webinar AND the online course access for just $27.

Just CLICK HERE to register – and we’ll see you on the 9th. Live!

PS – remember to enter that SAVE50 coupon code on the order page!

Facebook Fan Pages | Live How-To Webinar is a post from: Business Building Shortcuts

Webinars are definitely a strong part of marketing online, as well as a key way to provide content to subscribers and customers. Are you using them yet? If you aren’t yet subscribed, but you plan to subscribe in the near future, then now is the time!

Lock In Current Pricing by February 28th

If you check out the current pricing structure on gotowebinar.com, and on the image to the left, you will see that prices have already gone up – WAY up – for new subscribers to GoToWebinar.

There are still a few ways you might be able to get around this pricing change (see below), but you have to act FAST! Really fast – in fact, these work-arounds are only good through February. And I have to tell you, the success of all but the final one…#4…(http://WebinarLeverage.com) may depend upon who answers the phone at GoToWebinar’s customer service.

What was the ‘old’ pricing? You could get up to 1,000 people on a webinar for just $99 a month. Now there are three levels, and that same $99 a month only gets you 100 people on the webinar.

I. Did You Have a GoToWebinar Subscription or Free Trial in the Past?

Did you have a gotowebinar subscription in the past? Or even do the free 30 day trial? If so, you can call their customer support and give them the email associated with the subscription and have them reactivate that account under a free trial that will automatically become an ongoing monthly subscription. You’ll have to give them your credit card info when you call.

II. Did A Friend Have a Subscription They No Longer Use?

Do you know someone who has had an account, or a free trial, and no longer uses it? Maybe they have canceled it in the past? You can ask them to reactivate their subscription, and then give it to you. You can log in and change the email address and credit card information so that it becomes your account. Of course, they’ll have to really trust you to change that credit card information from their card to yours after they do you this great service. But you are trustworthy, right? Or if you can be there with them when they call (in person or by conference call), you may be able to give GoToWebinar your credit card info right from the start.

III. Do You Know Someone Who Has Been Using GoToWebinar Regularly?

Are you aware of anyone who has had a long-standing account with gotowebinar? If so, they may have received a special link that they could share with friends that will allow them to lock in the ‘old’ pricing structure. Give them a call and see if they can share it with you. Be sure to do this by the end of February, though. And sorry, we’re not one of these fortunate people, or we’d share the link right here!

IV. Go to http://WebinarLeverage.com for Robert & Lance’s Webinar course

Lastly, if you were planning to enroll in Robert & Lance’s Webinar course, they provide a link to the old pricing structure when you take action and sign up by Feb. 28th. Just go to http://WebinarLeverage.com and claim your spot. You will get to learn how to do webinars like the masters, and save some big bucks in the process by locking in the ‘old’ prices for GoToWebinar.

Only Act on GoToWebinar If You Plan to Use It Soon!

If you don’t see using webinars as the next logical step in your business, you probably don’t want to add another hundred bucks or so each month to your business overhead by hurrying to lock in these prices.

You can still hold webinars for 100 people for $99 a month with the new prices. Sure, prices skyrocket for more than 100 people, but when you regularly get more than 100 people to attend your webinars, you’ll be able to afford the new prices. Plus, as your business grows, you can upgrade for a month when you get more than 100 people attending, and then switch back to the regular prices after your big webinar is over (remember to upgrade before the webinar!).

And stay tuned – we are going to be including webinars in the very near future. Not for everything, but for those “you just have to see it” sessions, plan to be joining us on webinars.

If You’re Serious About Taking Your Business to the Next Level… is a post from: Business Building Shortcuts

After several months of planning, Deb and I just launched our new free Membership site to provide you access to our Technology Tutorials…all from 1 location.

————————————

Deb and I started BusinessBuildingShortcuts.com because we wanted to help others minimize the frustration that almost everyone faces when it comes to setting up the technology pieces for their online business.

In the last 2 Live Events we attended, several people who have experienced our step by step teaching style asked us if we could create specific “How to” tutorials in easily consumable segments…so they could implement what was next for them in their business.

Our new “Tutorials” Membership site does just that by providing you 3 main opportunities:

1. Access, as a Member, to “free” tutorials to help you optimize your online navigation…making it easier to be successful in your business.
2. Providing you easy access to our “for purchase”  Tutorials and Courses, so you only have 1 log-in to access all your purchased content.
3. To keep you informed, from one central place, as to what Content and Events we have available to help you build your business…and where you can tell us what technology tutorial you need next.

Here’s How To Get Your Free
“Bronze” Membership

For a limited time, we’re providing free access to BBSTutorials. To see what’s available and to register for your free membership, click here.

http://bbstutorials.com/members

Now that we’ve started, expect to see lots of relevant content coming your way.

Also, if you missed our call about hoe to use the site and tutorials coming your way, you can access it here.

Announcing…”BBSTutorials.com/members” is a post from: Business Building Shortcuts

Deb and I have been debating for quite awhile about whether to add Webinars to our monthly overhead.

We’d been content utilizing Teleseminars, because the content of our free weekly calls is of the note-taking variety. And, if we needed visuals, we provided an Action Guide to accompany the call.

On top of that, recently our teleseminar hosting company started offering the capability to add Powerpoint slides with the audio, thus delaying our decision to upgrade even longer.

What Changed our Minds

A couple of months ago, we were having a conversation with Webinar experts, Robert Plank and Lance Tamashiro (with whom we just interviewed this past Tuesday)…and we became convinced that there was no better medium to leverage and grow our business fast.

Get the Audio on Webinars Here

In the call replay, you’ll hear Robert and Lance identify over 7 ways in which Webinars can leverage your productivity…in creating Content for new products, building your List, getting Sales Pages up quickly…and lots more.

What’s the Big Deal about Webinars?

A Webinar is basically a live, real-time video, in which participants on a live visual call are able to “see” whatever is on your computer screen and “hear” you and other presenters talk about what you are showing.

In essence, it adds the visual component, which a teleseminar by itself cannot. And since we know that people like to receive their information in different ways, this allows you to reach a broader audience with your message.

In addition, Webinars have a higher perceived value in the Marketplace, thereby enabling you to command higher product prices for content you deliver via Webinars.

For us, it comes down to the amazing versatility that Webinars have to create content in “one take”, thereby increasing our productivity substantially.

Time Sensitive Offer

Robert and Lance have created a limited enrollment, special Course to help you implement Webinars into your business…with a very affordable payment plan. Go to the Information Page to check it out.

http://WebinarLeverage.com

As Affiliates for the program, Deb and I are in a special position to assist you in implementing this into your business, as we’re offering a special Bonus to those who take advantage of their Offer before all seats are taken.

“Send us your receipt”, and participate in our live Webinar training at the end of the course to help you implement your chosen Webinar model. There’s no extra cost for this, and we’ll follow with more details. Learn from us as we focus on adding Webinars extensively into our business.

We Used to Be Skeptical About Webinars…But Now We’re Moving There Fast! is a post from: Business Building Shortcuts

If you’ve seen our promotion for this upcoming interview on Tuesday, Feb. 9th, you’ve been introduced to Robert. But, we wanted you to get a sense of Lance, too.

As the saying goes, these guys rock. The current  internet trend is to “get it done”… systematize so you’re more efficient. These guys take it to a whole new level. They’re masters of  “One Take” Marketing..you know, like a TV show that’s live. They don’t go back and re-shoot.

A Teleseminar about Webinars

What emerges is a very efficient and productive content machine. So, expect in Tuesday’s interview…yes, a teleseminar about Webinars…to learn how to use the Webinar and Video medium to “Crush it”…in Content Generation…in List Building…in Sales Page creation…and in Getting Lots More Done in a fraction of the time. Be prepared to have fun. Replay available afterwards.

Now for the 2 minute video – we bring you Lance and Martie (in a cameo).

Lance and Robert “Crush It” with WEBINARS! is a post from: Business Building Shortcuts

Deb and I often find that one of the biggest obstacles people face when they decide to build a business on the Internet is choosing a product or service to offer. This, typically, is a result of our natural tendency to make things more complicated than they need to be.

We’ve all been there, whether it’s our first time starting to market online, or whether we are trying to identify a new Niche to which to sell products.  We imagine a detailed, complex process that involves hours of research and maybe even some expensive software. But, in reality, identifying a hungry market can be broken down into a straight-forward, 3 step process.

We’ve even created a quick video describing this process.

Give me Video Access

Once you master the 3 Steps, then you can repeat it over and over again, thereby shortening the cycle between identifying a Market and delivering product, so that you can start to make money in that Niche.

In today’s fast-paced online environment, you can’t afford to extend your learning curve any longer than necessary to identify a Niche and the related keyword search phrases for that Market.

Membership, continuity, subscription, micro-continuity, sequential content delivery…

If you have an online business, your heart should beat a little faster (in a good way!) when you hear these words.

Incorporating membership sites into your business can transform your business experience almost overnight!

We’re going to do a series of posts about membership sites, membership software, and creative ways you can use these tools to have happier customers, make more money, and further automate your business and content delivery.

We did a Tuesday Teleseminar last night (part 1 – part 2 is coming next week) that explored the various types of membership sites and how to incorporate them into your business… whether you already have an online business, or are just looking at getting one started.

We had some audio issues on that call, but we threw the .wav file into Levelator and fixed most of them. So the replay is here on our blog, and the download link is below the audio player.

The handout, if you will, that accompanies these calls is the Special Report we sent out to members. If you didn’t yet download that report, you can Right-Click HERE to download the pdf report.

And here is part 1 of our call on Membership Sites – enjoy!

Right-Click This Link to download this call to your computer and listen later (or on your mp3 player, as we love to do). Mac users, Control-Click to ’save as’.

We have lots more to say about membership sites, so stay tuned.

Membership Sites: Do You Need One? is a post from: Business Building Shortcuts

Let’s look now at how to add that cool stretchy player using a Wordpress plugin and your own web hosting.

Here is an example of how this player looks and works.

Like it? Do you want to use it yourself?

OK, here is an 11 minute video showing how I did this, start to finish. It’d take less time if I just DID it and didn’t talk about what I was doing, so it will take you a lot less time to create your own audio players using this plugin.

While our preferred method of adding this audio player is faster and easier, this method offers more options for customizing your player.

Enjoy!

Using a Wordpress Plugin to Add a Stretchy Audio Player is a post from: Business Building Shortcuts

We love it when we get questions and requests, so thanks for asking how to create those cool stretching audio players for your blog.

Here’s an example of what we mean. Just click the play triangle below and watch the player strettccchhh out to play.

Here’s a 6 minute video showing exactly how to add this fun audio player feature to your sites.

This first option we are demonstrating for you is our preferred method, and it is the one we used on this page. It’s using the eZs3 system and Amazon’s S3 hosting. It’s so very simple, and I love having my audios and videos on Amazon’s servers instead of mine.

And, if you like this method best, we appreciate it when you use our affiliate link to subscribe to this inexpensive and well-worth-it service.
