Internet Marketing Tips from Denise Wakeman

End of Year Testimonial

Today we received this testimonial about our now concluded Conversations with Experts TeleSeries.  We are always gratified to get feedback like this:

I loved your interview with an expert series. I listened to several of them over and over again and recommend them to my clients all the time. Your advice helped me start my blog AND grow my ezine list by 400% this year! Thank you for sharing and giving so much to entrepreneurs everywhere!

We really enjoyed the Series and met some fantastic people who have become friends, colleagues and partners.  If you missed any of the programs, they are all available for the very reasonable fee of $9.95 each.

As a marketing tool, the Conversations were phenomenal.  The original intent was to interview a few of the blogging experts featured in Build a Better Blog to promote the ebook.  But then we just kept on going.  We built a list of nearly 2000 people in 20 months, many of whom became clients and customers.

The audio programs have become products and also serve as bonuses when we create complementary products.  It's a fast and relatively simple way to create an information product which we highly recommend for creating revenue.

Superhero Personality Test: Who are you?

Thanks to Steve Rubel, here's another silly blog meme you can get caught up in before the end of 2006.  Which super hero are you?  I think of myself more like Wonder Woman, but Superman is pretty cool too!

You are Superman

Superman 65% Spider-Man 60% Wonder Woman 58% Supergirl 53% Hulk 45% Iron Man 45% Robin 40% Batman 35% Catwoman 35% Green Lantern 30% The Flash 25%

You are mild-mannered, good, strong and you love to help others.

Citizen Marketing at Its Finest

I am loving this book, and if you want to understand the coming trends in marketing (and what you can do for your own business), you'll buy Citizen Marketers by Ben McConnell and Jackie Huba. You may be familiar with their Church of the Customer Blog, a good source of marketing through word of mouth and social media ideas.

Now you can access an excellent review of the book by Shel Holtz of A Shel of My Former Self blog here. He reviews the book on his excellent For Immediate Release podcast.

What are you reading? What are you doing about this whole new trend of partnering with customers? How will you use social media for your marketing in 2007?
