I just downloaded a great report by Michelle MacPhearson on leveraging Social Media sites (like Twitter, Digg, StumbleUpon, etc) for getting more traffic to your website. The best part is that you can go through the report, do the steps yourself every day for a week and then hand it off to any assistant to implement for you daily.

To get the report, go to Social Media Daily. The best part, it’s free!

Michelle’s credibility in driving traffic is legit, too. Her site ranks 107,161 in traffic volume based on Alexa’s stats, which means she’s in the top ranks in the world.

So go get your free copy of Michelle’s “Social Media Daily” report and start driving traffic to your site today.

Revolutionary Advertising Example

Being an entrepreneur causes me to always be on the lookout for ‘best practices’ in business and see tactics and strategies that are effective and results focused very easily. I saw an amazing ad that is compelling, delivers an amazing USP (Unique Selling Proposition) and can be stated in under 10 seconds in a way that any adult would understand completely. The company was Lifelock.com and is an identity theft prevention service.

Watch the commercial below:

In it you will see the following done amazingly well:
1. Powerful compelling USP that is short, clear and to the point (Our service is so good you can give your SS# out to the world and your identity is still protected meaning you will never have to worry about identity theft again)
2. Amazing guarantee that none of their competitors lead with. This will generate more business than any other promotion that they could ever think of.

Absolutely brilliant!

Amazing Blogging Tool

I just came across the most amazing tool of all time to make writing blog posts about 1,000% easier. It’s called ScribeFire and works in the free FireFox web browser (which is much more user friendly and infinitely safer than plain old Internet Explorer). You download the free ScribeFire software and click on the link in the bottom right corner of FireFox after it’s installed. Click on the ‘blog wizard’ on the right side to enter your blog login info and you’re good to go.

When you get inspired to post something to your blog, simply click on the little paper and pencil icon in the bottom right corner of FireFox and an editor box pops up for you to enter a title and content to. It’s full featured with everything you’d need to publish a full post like any blog platform you currently use. You can have it post to different blogs you setup through the wizard and also select which category you want it to post under in the ‘Tags’ section of the editor. When you’re done, just click on ‘Publish’ at the bottom of the editor and the rest is history.

The Most Dominating Lead Generation Strategy Ever

Rich Schefren is an incredibly successful serial entrepreneur that has more successfully launched ventures than just about anyone I’ve ever studied. He is a master strategist that implements insanely well and is rewarded for doing so.

When he said there is one lead generation strategy or tactic that he values infinitely above the rest, I had to pay attention. Here’s his quick overview of it:

I’ve heard Jeff Walker present before and his methods are very effective as you heard Rich say in the video. Pay attention to Jeff and what he says as you launch new ventures and products. The right strategy is what separates the YouTubes from the rest of the wannabes.
