I'm Your Biggest Fan: Why I Finally Launched a Facebook Fan Page

The phone rings. You answer and the person on the line greets you like this: "I'm your biggest fan. I've been following you for a long time and I really love what you do. I'm ready to work with you now."

That feels so good, doesn't it?

"Yeah, but can little old me get fans?" you wonder. "After all, I'm not Oprah or anything."

Well, I'm saying you don't have to be Oprah to attract a lot of fans. You can create a Facebook Fan Page.

In the past two weeks I've attracted over 250 fans to my new Facebook Fan Page just by posting it to my Wall a few times and sending one invite out to my friends.

"Facebook Fan Page? I thought those were for ego maniacs and really famous people!" That's what I said about 3 weeks ago. But then all the big Facebook gurus started sending out articles on the importance of using Fan Pages and why every business needs at least one.

The main points that drove me to finally publish a Fan Page were:

1) Sending too many business-oriented posts on your Personal Wall is like spamming your best friends (gulp!)

2) You can post three to five times daily on a Fan Page to people who want to see your stuff.

3) You can create a Fan Page for a result rather than just a person, and that way avoid being seen as an ego-maniac (even if you are one ; )

4) Facebook has updaded Fan Pages to be as fun and interactive as a Personal Wall. By the way, Groups have also been updated and inspire a lot more interactivity than they did just last week. Come play!

5) Fan Pages rank well on Google and can attract people from outside of Facebook (Are there actually people outside of Facebook which boasts 300 million members and counting!)

6) Having fans feels really good. And after all, feeling good is the most important thing!

To create your Facebook Fan Page, visit mine at http://tinyurl.com/fbfp-ab , and after you agree to be my fan ; ) you can click on the link "Create a Page for My Business" at the bottom of the left column of that page, right above the "Share" button. Just follow the easy wizard to create your page! It's fun, simple, and a great way to connect with your true fans!

How Did You Attract THAT Person?

by Julia D. Stege, MFA
@magicalmarketer

You know it happens to all of us. It's just a part of life. You think you are doing very well at attraction, and then suddenly someone appears in your life who is just NOT a match. You ask yourself (perhaps in a whiny tone) "How did I attract THAT?"

The answer is simple as long as you believe you are the one who is attracting everything that comes into your life. I mean, you are the only one you have any control over, right? So if you look at it that way, the answer is you brought this person into your life to show you what is not perfect for you, so you can adjust yourself appropriately to attract what you DO want.

So let's say you attracted a client who followed you around while you work, checking on everything you do. I once attracted a client who insisted on hanging over my shoulder while I created her logo design. That was the last time I let anyone do that, and if you look at it a certain way, you can see how she saved me a lot of frustration over the years since then. I was really clear on what I didn't want, someone checking me at every turn. So the question became, what do I really want? I wanted clients who really respect my work and leave me to do it in peace. That is who I have attracted since then, and I thank her now for helping me to know what I want.

But what if they're not just persnickety? What if they are really in your face?

OK, so you attracted a bi-polar neighbor who shouts at you whenever you leave your front door. What's that about? You think, "I'm a nice person, why is he shouting at me?" But that question will not lead you to a solution. It will only perplex your mind and cause you to focus more upon it and attract more of it.

Your only real power is focusing on what you'd prefer, and letting it go to the universe.

Stop resisting it! In fact, see if you can find the up-side of it.

A friend of mine was once faced with his second custody battle in 2 years. He was not much of a fighter, and we spoke about how he could look at this as a positive thing. "It will give me a chance to defend myself in public," he offered. So that's how he held it in his mind. He stopped resisting.

Guess what happened? His ex-wife didn't even show up at court. That is the power of letting go.

When faced with someone in your space who is making you miserable, write down the elements that are bugging you, and then write down the opposite element, that which you would like to attract. And for extra credit, see if you can write a statement about the positive aspects of this situation, hold that in your heart, and tell me what happens!

How to Have a Vibration Raising Long Weekend!

I hope you're planning to take Monday (Columbus Day) off to raise your vibration. You're not fooling me. I know you have been very busy, working hard to get your business really rolling. And I bet you started thinking about fitting some work in on Monday when the phones won't be ringing as much and you'll have some space to catch up.

Just don't do it! You deserve the break and the rest. And in fact, if you spend the day focusing on what feels good to you, and follow your intuition, you will be much closer to receiving what you've been wanting. Feeling good is that important to your success.

So if you need something to do on Monday that will lure you away from your work and yet be practical for your business, here are some Vibration Raising Activities for you. And you can tell your gremlins that I gave you permission to play hookie and do this instead of that work project you were trying to finish.

Vibration Raising Activities:

1) Take yourself on an "Artists Date": Julia Cameron who wrote "The Artists Way" came up with this idea, to take yourself on a date and do whatever fuels your creative juices and makes you feel good. It's just about having fun with yourself and doing whatever your intuition tells you would be fun for you. I like going alone to movies I'd love but my husband would hate, going to art shows or galleries and soaking in the brilliance of the artist, or just window shopping at beautiful boutiques along Main Street.

2) Give yourself a Spa Day: Start the day with a hot bubble bath with essential oils and candles. Relax to your favorite music and allow your mind to get still. Guide your thoughts to whatever pleases you. Enroll someone in giving you a massage (if it pleases them). Wander mindfully through a garden or path in nature. Breathe in the fresh air. Consider what would be most relaxing for you and do that. If it looks like watching cartoons in your PJ's and slippers, sipping hot tea, then so be it. Whatever rolls your socks up and down, as my friend says. (Thanks for that one Mary)

3) Do a Fun Project Around the House: If you really love to be productive and that's what gets you in the right vibration, do a project around the house. Lately I've been creating a stone patio in my new back yard (where the pool used to be that we demolished this summer). It gets me out of my regular work mind and into a playful creative mind when I work on that project. And the results are really rewarding. As long as it's not related to your money making job, I say it's OK to do on a holiday.

How to Attract Clients Fast:: More Tips!

If you want to attract clients fast, there are some important strategies that can help you allow your perfect customers to flow to you. The most important of these strategies is creating and refining your Strategic Attraction PlanTM.

Most of you have created an Attraction Plan once or twice, but you haven't been updating your Plan as you and your business grow and change. Whenever I want results fast, I create a new Attraction Plan from scratch to get the exact right feeling into it, and then I refine my plan for five minutes or more every morning and every night until I see the results I want.

Recently I used this process
to attract several large branding and website design clients. I had over $10,000 in new contracts within a week.

All the great mentors of the last century have reminded us that manifestation begins in the realm of thought. We must think about the results we want if we desire to achieve those results in the real world. It is important for us to line up with and expect what we want, and clarifying our desires is the first step.

The Strategic Attraction Plan that I mastered during a certification program offered by Perfect Customers, Inc is the most effective tool I've found for attracting clients fast. Take about an hour to create your plan from scratch, and then you want to take about 5 - 10 minutes to refine it daily.

The Strategic Attraction PlanTM

Answer these questions as fully as possible. Leave a few blank pages between each question to allow room to add to and refine your plan over time.

Question 1: What are the qualities, characteristics and attributes of my perfect customers?
Question 2: What makes me and my perfect customers tick?
Question 3: What do I want my perfect customers to expect from me.
Question 4: Who do I have to be to attract what I say I want?
