Still Tooling Around Online? We're Waiting for Your Message!

Just look at you! You're out there serving people with your heart-felt gifts. You have spent your life discovering ways to help yourself and others to live a better life, to transcend, to thrive, to experience joy. You warm my heart with your passion for contribution.

Now if only your perfect customers could find you, the phone would be ringing off the hook, and your calendar would be filled.

Close your eyes and imagine this: the phone rings and someone on the other end of the line says, "I found you online and I really love what you do. Your approach is so unique, such a match for me. I already feel like you 'get' me, and I'd like to explore your services." Breathe it in. It could happen to you.

I know because this happens to me a lot, sometimes several times in a day.

It happens because while you have been learning new ways to serve people with your magical offerings, I've been studying those big marketing gurus, the type that send really loud videos every day about how much money they're making online. I study them so that I can glean ways to translate their important information into language that conscious entrepreneurs like you and I can understand and relate to.

I mean, you wouldn't be able to use their information right out of the box because it's so hypey and though it's solid information that's vital for any business owner to know, it doesn't take into consideration the importance and the feeling of a heartfelt message. Frankly, these folks don't think about the vibration of their marketing, and if you used their techniques, your perfect customers would run to the hills to go meditate just to rebalance themselves.

Are you ready to stop just tooling around online?

You need a more authentic, transparent, and sensitive approach to marketing, and you can't easily imagine how you could do this online. You know you have a very important gift, but you're the best kept secret in your industry because you're mostly tooling around online and not really getting the message out.

What if instead of just tooling around and experimenting here and there, you could develop a plan that allows you to share what's most important to you in a way that builds buzz about your offerings and magnetizes people to you? What if you could expand your network by thousands of people who are a perfect match for you, who are seeking something that you have?

I want to help!

This is what my offerings are really all about. With my blogs, my social networking friendships, my attraction marketing webinars, and my custom design services, I help conscious entrepreneurs to define their message from their true life purpose and develop that into a consistent, alluring and beautiful brand. I then help them take that message and define it online in a way that offers the right vibration and inspires perfect customers to take actions (like calling you for a free consult.) The icing on the cake is the way I teach folks how to network authentically using social networks that get you to page one of Google and attract perfect customers.


Because I love you, my peeps and followers, I have some special offerings that will help you to reach those people who are seeking you now, and reach them with the right message that will transform their lives. First, I have a standing offer for a complimentary exploratory conversation to discuss your purpose and how you want to get the message out. To get that you must call me at (707) 823-3316 during biz hours and leave some good times to talk. Then I have some bonus offerings that were my "one day only" specials for folks who signed up for my free teleclass series , but I'm extending them to you because I really care about your message getting out to the world.

http://www.graphicgirlz.com/special.html

Here you'll find my best price on my 10 week webinar bundled with bonus lessons on how to use Law of Attraction in your marketing plus discounted private sessions with me. You can use the private sessions to define your heart-centered brand message, perfect your attraction plan, and get over your stumbling blocks to success online. I do have a limited number of these packages available, so please act quickly before I take the page down.

Wanna earn some cash?

I'd like to extend to you an offer to earn some money while helping your peers and buddies to also attract their perfect customers online. I'm setting up a new affiliate program that automates this process, but while I'm getting that ready, I would like to offer you a 10% cash bonus or a 15% service bonus for referring them to my specials, but you have to tell me the names of the folks you're sending my way, and I'll happily speak with them about how I can serve them.

Are you ready to powerfully share your mission and attract your perfect customers online? You can visit http://www.graphicgirlz.com/special.html and place your order online now, or you can call me at (707) 823-3316 and ask me how I can help you to get started.

The world is waiting for you!

Magnetic Marketing Tips for Web-Shy Entrepreneurs

by Julia D. Stege, MFA
@magicalmarketer

I talk to a lot of coaches, healers, and conscious entrepreneurs who tell me they don't like the web. Don't get me wrong, these are regular upstanding business people who are quite hip in a lot of ways. They just want to limit their time in front of the machine. They're concerned about their vibration and the electronic gadgetry makes them a bit uptight.

I understand. Really, I like to get outside and futz around with my garden and catch a few rays during the day. It's part of the benefits of being self employed. But I don't underestimate the power of the Internet to offer me this freedom to futz. I rely heavily on the Internet to attract my customers, and knowing what tools to use and when and how are vital keys to my business success.

Therefore, though I feel your pain and I want to pick the flowers too, I have to tell you that Internet marketing is no longer just an option. It is vital to your success. The key becomes using the Internet in ways that are fun and fulfilling to you and your life mission.

That said, there are some things you can do before you get online that will help you become a magical magnet for your perfect customers:

1) Clarify what you want. You will save a lot of time and frustration if you know who your perfect customers are. Creating an attraction plan is a perfect way to streamline your marketing and open the gateways to becoming a magnet for what you want. Get the Magical Marketing Toolkit for instructions on how to create your Attraction Plan.

2) "What you seek is seeking you." Rumi ~ Take a deep breath and drink this in: your perfect customers are seeking you right now. You are the one. When they find you they will thank their lucky stars. You don't have to target anyone, and you will not have to convince anyone of anything. Your perfect customers are already your biggest fans. When you fully understand this you will be more relaxed and a lot more attractive!

3) What you care about is what they care about. All you need to do is write about your passion and purpose. When you tap into your true essence and share that with the world there is nothing more compelling, especially to your perfect customers. You are simpatico. You share a lot in common because you are on the same path in life. You don't need to strategize too much, just notice what you are compelled to share about and write it down. Consider the challenges you can help people overcome. That's your true passion. Write about that!

4) Register for my free teleclass series. I've spent a lot of time learning what tools to use to get to page one of Google, expand my list, and create buzz about my business online. I'll be sharing my secrets with you so you can save time online and become empowered to share your mission far and wide. See http://www.graphicgirlz.com/apco.html for more info or just email info@magicalmarketingonline.com to receive the call in information. If you cannot make the live class, a podcast of the event will be made available to those who register.

Taking these steps will help you hone your intention and improve your effectiveness online. Once your inbox fills with business inquiries from perfect customers, I bet you'll start considering the computer as more of a friend.

Still Afraid of Social Networks? Top 4 Objections and How to Disappear Them

by Julia D. Stege, MFA
@magicalmarketer

I have been giving a lot of talks and classes lately on Social Networking and I've been getting some feedback from folks that they're still afraid of the likes of Twitter and Facebook. There are so many reasons people have for avoiding these free online marketing tools. The ones I hear the most are:

1. I will lose my privacy.
2. I don't have the time to do one more thing.
3. People say meaningless things like what they're eating. Why do I care?
4. I don't understand how to use Social Networks to attract perfect customers.

I promise you, I feel your pain. I really do. There was once a time when I said all of these things about sites I now use daily to grow my list, create buzz about my offerings, and expand my reputation online. But instead of giving up, I investigated, spent time, learned, and used the social networks to great advantage. And even though everyone is talking about Twitter and Facebook now, most Internet marketers weren't even on these sites a few months ago. So relax! Everyone is new at this. And I'll give you some tips to disappear those objections you may still have to Facebooking and Tweeting your way to Internet marketing success.

Objection 1: I'll lose my privacy.

Frankly, my gut reaction to this objection is, "privacy is dead." Anyone who markets online is exposing themselves to the world in bigger ways than ever was possible before. There are great advantages to being this exposed, including improved reputation, expanded influence, and wider selection of potential customers. My second reaction is, "what do you have to hide?" I always promote an authentic approach to marketing because your most perfect customers are attracted to your true self. Social Networks offer your contacts an opportunity to get to know the real you, and if they don't like you, they're not your perfect customers! That said, it's a good idea to keep your personal information private, such as your personal email, home phone, and other info, if you don't want folks contacting you night and day. Create business contact avenues that you can turn off when the business day ends.

Objection 2: I don't have the time to do one more thing

Let me offer a scenario. Everyone in business needs to network to spread the word about their offerings and meet new contacts. How much time does it take to go to one networking meeting? Consider you have to get dressed up which takes about an hour, and then you must get to the event, say another half hour. The event is 2-3 hours, and then you have to drive home. That's a total of 4 - 5 hours! If you were to spend that time networking online you have the potential to reach a much larger audience, and your web properties will stay up for months or even years attracting your customers 24/7.

Objection 3: People say meaningless things like what they're eating. Why do I care?
This is a common complaint. You go to your network and feel inundated by nonsense. Here's a tip: If you don't like what people are writing about on your networks, you're not connecting to the right people. To attract the right people, do a keyword search using words that reflect your purpose and interests and connect with them! Search for groups of like minded people and friend them. After a while you'll find your networks filled with helpful tidbits and inspirations that uplift and educate you. Spend some time responding to those folks who have said something interesting and encourage them. Make sure you offer helpful and interesting information too, so it's not just a one way relationship!

Objection 4: I don't understand how to use Social Networks to attract my perfect customers.
You're not alone! Most people know how to have fun, connect, and chat with folks online once they get the hang of it, but attracting customers? That's a different story. Consider this: Dale Carnegie who wrote How to Win Friends and Influence People taught us that people will buy from us when they know us, like us and trust us. Making friends online is a crucial step in this process. The second step is in creatively letting them know about what you're offering for sale, and be authentic.

I realize it's not that simple for some folks who need a helping hand. That's why I teach a 10 week program for conscious entrepreneurs who need guidance through the process of getting on the right social networks, using the right words to attract folks, and using the best tools to create new business relationships. I also offer free teleclasses once per month to give you some valuable tips on how to get started on the Social Networks. Visit http://www.graphicgirlz.com/apco.html to learn more and register for my upcoming classes. It's my pleasure to empower you to attract your perfect customers online.

Considering Freedom

by Julia D. Stege, MFA

Today I am thinking about Freedom; Not just because it’s Independence Day, the day Americans on all sides of the political spectrum celebrate Revolution. And not just because Freedom forms the ideological foundation for our country that is celebrating it’s birthday today. It’s because I’m always thinking about Freedom. Freedom is part of what makes me tick.

Sing a ‘Song of Freedom’ and I’m likely to tear with gratitude. This is what I’ve based my life upon. All the decisions I ever made have had this at the core: Freedom. I guess that makes me a quintessential American (in addition to fact that I’m a descendant of two different American Revolutionaries, Roger Sherman and Jesse Leavenworth of Connecticut.)

“Give Me Liberty of Give Me Death,” I would have said, but thank goodness I haven’t have to take it to that extreme. Today I am deeply grateful for those who have come before me and blazed a trail for my Freedom. My life has always been a free expression of creativity, love and magic. I am thankful that I have the freedom to learn about, experience, and teach others the power of deliberate creation; How we are creating our lives through our thoughts, a teaching that in another time or another place would be condemned as blasphemy.

Can I interest you in considering your Freedom today? Perhaps it’s something you’ve been taking for granted, or perhaps you have been fearing the political tide would take our Freedom away. Either way, now is a great time to appreciate the Freedom we have, and to indulge in visions of Freedom for All.
