Online Marketing Proformas - successful or not?

2009-04-10T04:27:00.001-07:00

I have been watching online marketers for many years now. You know, the ones that work with a one page proforma where they make you an offer, tease you with a free product, in the hopes of securing your email address or even better, you buying into the product. Then they bombard you with testimonials about how great their product is, kind of like the midday and middle of the night commercials you see on television. My question is, do these really work?

For me, I look, see that they are the same old standard approach and immediately they have lost me. Is this how others feel?

As someone who is involved in packaging and marketing, I'd really appreciate the feedback of my online friends as I am going to be advising my clients in relation to these processes. What are the outcomes for this type of marketing? Is anyone doing it and having huge success?

I know this probably sounds just a little cynical, but I've seen a lot of people selling business and marketing systems and having a bit of success with selling the systems, but how many who buy these systems are also experiencing success? There is lots of talk of growing rich online, but I'd like to see the evidence of it. Anyone who has an opinion is welcome to post a response. I am truly interested in what you think.

It just makes you wonder about Twitter Grader.com

2009-03-27T20:25:00.000-07:00

I have been studying Twitter Grader for some time now, as I can see that people put a lot of value on being ranked highly there.

In my study, I have noticed how easy it is to influence the rankings merely by conversing with others, by retweeting their tweets and by increasing the number of followers you have and the quality of those that are following you and your ability to engage them interactively.

Then I thought to myself last night, how would I be ranked if I were in America instead of Australia? So I decided to do a little test. To change my location settings in Twitter.com to New York, USA. The outcome was astounding. I was ranked in the 600's when my location was Perth, Western Australia. Then suddenly I ranked in the top 200's when I changed my location to New York. This raises a lot of questions about the validity of the rankings system. My rating of 99.98 went up to 100 as well and the only change was a change of location!

This tells me that the whole Twitter Grader.com site is biased towards people living in America.

I have decided that I will no longer support this site in protest of it's rating system.

What do you think? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

The Great Aussie Tweetup - Anzac Day

2009-03-15T05:56:00.000-07:00

Arising out of the positive feedback we've had from our Leederville Tweetup video on YouTube.com, the desire to create a mexican wave of Tweetups around Australia was born.

So, we made an executive decision, that's @womencan and @ausi1, that we should Tweetup on a signficant day. So the Anzac Day Tweetup is a celebration of the Anzac spirit that pulls all us Aussies together.

#aussietweetup and #town are the hashtags to use to tell everyone about your event.

We are challenging, from a very positive place, anyone out there that would like to start a mexican wave in your area, to start to tweet about this event.

For all the Perth crew, we are going to have our Tweetup at Kings Park Cafe, Kings Park (next to Fraser's Restaurant) and make the most of the Anzac Day spirit that Kings Park embodies at 2pm on 25 April 2009.

Wouldn't it be great if all Tweeters around Aussie got on board and filmed their events and posted them to YouTube.com and then tweeted the links under the #aussietweetup hashtag.

The challenge is on...which town or city or place in Aussie is going to have the best attendance and the most creative video uploaded???

Ranked 15th in the Top 100 Most Influential Twitterers

2009-03-15T01:24:00.000-07:00

According to Social Networking News Daily, the list of Australia’s Top 100 Influential Twitterers was created and is powered by @nickhac of ShiftedPixels the Online Influence Agency based in Sydney, Australia.

Social Networking News Daily says that there are many lists out there on the web like Meg’s effort on Dipping into the Blogpond to keep the Top 100 Australian Blogs list updated, and Leigh’s list of the Top 100 Australian Women’s Blogs however, no-one has posted the Top Twitterati from Australia… so Nick took it upon himself to Be The One to do it… and why not seeing as Twitters growth is escalating at a very rapid pace.

Further, originally, he thought to list 50 of the top Aussie Tweeters and once word got out, they all came out of the woodweb and left their ID’s or were recommended in the comments. Hence, it has become a list of Australia’s Top 100 Influential Twitterers.

Of course, if it means getting the positive 'you can' message out there to women, I am thrilled to be listed...

A new ship to launch...

2009-03-13T09:49:00.000-07:00

I am privileged to be working with Kath Mazzella, an international women's sexual and gynaecological health campaigner.

Kath was recently awarded by the Moment Women's Forum in Perth and presented by the Governor-General an award for being an inspirational woman in the community.

Kath, a cancer survivor, has been valiantly campaigning for the past 15 years!

Many say Kath is 5 years ahead of her time and I know that it is going to be my privilege to help her get her message out to the marketplace. Here is a photo of us together today...

Here is also a promo that I did for Kath last September to promote the International Gynae Awareness Day on 10 September.

Perth Girls Tweetup @WomenCan's!

@EliseBerenger came over for a cuppa. While she was with me we had some fun with my iMac computer.

We took a photo with the photo booth capacity.

And stuffed around with making a video...

Had we both not been on Twitter we would never have met, despite living only one suburb apart.

To quote Elise,in relation to Twitter, "To connect is just brilliant!"

Gorgeous artwork...Music stunning.

Another hard life lesson

2009-03-08T20:28:00.001-07:00

Since the blog post about my painful life lesson it seems that life has taken me on, seriously.

The life lesson was that I need to listen to my inner voice and trust it more and to give voice to what it is telling me.

Since the workshop, life has been placing me in situations that have caused me to have to look at my childhood and how it is influencing how I am now.

As I went back in time I revisited the abuse I'd suffered as a child that had robbed me of my voice. Suddenly, every day became filled with an issue that related to my "lack of a voice" and the pressure has become immense on me to change.

So today I am taking back my personal power. I have decided twice today what I do and do not want to accept into my world and I have grabbed hold of my voice and started to use it again. It has truly been liberating.

If you are reading this and you relate to what I am saying, please leave a comment. Every day we have the power to decide how our world will be. I do not need to be that voiceless child that was disempowered. I can be an empowered adult who is able to say no to things that are not positive in my life.

Hayley's Chicken Pies

2009-03-08T17:24:00.000-07:00

Here is my recipe for the Twitter #recipeXchange:

Hayley's Chicken Pies (Makes 8 pies)

4 Puff pastry sheets
2 chicken breast fillets
1/2 tin Campbells (or other) Chicken and Corn condensed soup
Crushed garlic
Soy Sauce
Olive oil

Method:
Dice the chicken into pieces.
Brown the chicken in olive oil in a hot fry pan, lightly coating with garlic (about a teaspoon) and soy sauce (pour over chicken enough to lightly coat each piece of chicken).
Once chicken is just cooked through remove from heat.
Cut pastry sheets on the diagonal in half.
Place several pieces of chicken (about 3-4) in the middle of the triangle.
Add to the meat a tablespoon of condensed soup (do not pre-heat the soup)
Then fold the edges of the triangle on the longest side in to meet the bottom point of the triangle. (Should make the triangle now look like a square).
Use a fork to press the edges together along the edges that are not sealed (one edge is a fold and doesn't need to be forked)
Place in a hot oven (approx 180-200) and cook for approx 20 minutes or until pastry is golden brown.
Serve with a side salad or vegetables.

Prep time: 15 mins Cook time: 20 mins
