I just received my Amazon order. I invested in some new books so I can keep abreast of the changes in social media. I already own Social Media Marketing: An Hour A Day and Blog Marketing and wanted to purchase Mari Smith’s new book, Facebook Marketing: An Hour A Day. It only made sense to pick up YouTube and Video Marketing: An Hour A Day, and the newest book out…Success Secrets of the Social Media Marketing Superstars.

I’ll be reading this last book over the two next weeks and will give you a recap of each section. It covers strategies, principles, applications, and social media websites.

I highly recommend any of the above books as fabulous additions to your social media library. Let me know what you think? What’s your favorite social medial book?

I’ll be interviewing Australian author Tim Levy, The Life Summit. Tim will be traveling from Sydney to the United States in September 2010 on a national book tour for his fifth book: The Life Summit.

The Life Summit

Tim Levy is an experienced writer/producer/director with deep roots extending into the diverse worlds of business, environmentalism, comedy, spirituality, television, and the world of children….areas that he finds can overlap in unexpected ways. The Life Summit is a culmination of his experience and his enlightenment, linking soaring spirit with grounded business strategies.

My second guest is Michele Nash-Hoff, Can American Manufacturing Be Saved.

Michele Nash-Hoff has been in and out of San Diego’s high-tech manufacturing industry since starting as an engineering secretary at age 18. Her career includes being part of the founding team of an electronic component manufacturer and working in the Marketing Department of Cubic Corporation’s Military Systems Division.

Can American Manufacturing Be Saved?

Can American Manufacturing Be Saved? shows how the development and growth of American manufacturing was integral to the expansion of the United States from colonial times to the present day. It describes how the Industrial Revolution began in the United States with the start of the textile industry in New England and how the American System of Manufacturing developed. It outlines how key technologies accelerated the westward expansion of the United States during the 19th Century. It describes how breakthrough inventions enabled the development of modern manufacturing and mass production.

My third guest will be Lynn Serafinn. Lynn is a Transformation Coach, teacher, talk radio show host and author of the bestselling book The Garden of the Soul: lessons from four flowers that unearth the Self. Owing to her long and diverse professional history in the music industry, as well as extensive study of music and spirituality in India.

Lynn’s writing is lyrical, rhythmic, colorful, highly visual and undeniably metaphoric. She taught music technology for many years, and her creative use of technology in education led her to win the Microsoft UK Innovative Teacher of the Year Award in 2005.

Her coaching company Create-a-Life won the Best of Bedford Business Awards, and was voted one of the “Top 10 Most Loved Businesses” in Bedford in 2010. In 2009, she received the Bedfordshire Businesswomen Award for her work within the community to help build a sustainable future.

Her long-term project is an online coaching and learning programme for mind-body-spirit authors called Spirit Authors.

Product Funnel

Leveraging your business online means branding yourself as an expert in your industry. One of the quickest ways to be seen as an industry leader is by creating intellectual products.

Today it’s easier than ever to create digital products that can bring more visibility to your business and elevate your perceived level of expertise. Those two, put together, in turn create passive income for your business.

Think about some of the content you may have on your computer. Have you written articles or short reports for your business? There are several ways you can take the content you’ve already created and turn it into several types of product you can sell as downloads from your website.

If you’re ready to turn your website from a free-loader to a fee-loader, then this seminar is for you. This is a way to create a passive form of income for your business. Products also raise the perceived level of expertise in your niche.

Wednesday, July 28, 2010
4pm to 6pm Pacific Time
(7pm to 9pm Eastern Time)

In this powerful information-packed seminar you will learn:

• Why you need information products
• How you can create information products
• How to market and profit from information products

Here are some of the ways your business will benefit from information products:

• Create an ongoing passive income stream
• Expand your brand and credibility as an expert
• Enjoy benefits of being an author
• Have back of the room sales for seminars and talks
• Create products others can sell for commission with affiliate programs
