"I did a Podcast, now what, Dr. Wright?- Part 2
A lot of people do a Podcast or radio show interviews and want to know how to maximized it. Publicity is supposed to help us make money but how to you make money from the interviews you have already done? You remember what they gurus say- work once and make money over and over again from it.
I've taught a a lot about the need to do Podcasts and internet interviews but most folks do not understand what to do next. There are some specific thing you need to do to make a simple Podcast interview increase your cash flow. I'll share that on the next note.


COOL TOOL!

Are Manners Not Useful on Social Networking Sites?

this is an actual online transaction on a social networking site:



DR. WRIGHT: wow, this is a quiet group
SAUNDRA JACKSON: Dr. Wright,

It is your job to build value in her product/service so that the referral buys. People spend money on what they want if you can show them that they want to.

Take for instance: Sendoutcards.com. If you send out thank you cards, appreciation cards, birthday cards or anniversary card you should see the value in this system. If you have a burning desire to see your business grow, you have a need and should see the value in the system.

Lets' do a test: go to http://sendoutcards.com/36670, create a free account and send out 2 cards, someone you love, a prospect that you have been courting, reach out to a friend.

Then tell me that this system truly is of not use to you or your business.

Saundra Jackson
Just sharing

DR. WRIGHT: I think send out cards is a wonderful tool. I did not realize that this is what this particular group does.

SAUNDRA JACKSON: This group is about ways to get 50 referrals in 50 days, not just sendoutcards.

How do you get referrals. Do you send out cards in your business.


DR. WRIGHT: no, i offer something very expensive, my referrals come from customers who make sure who they refer can afford adn want what I offer. Sending out a lot of cards would only invite tire kickers who are just curious.

SAUNDRA JACKSON: Actually you are wrong. You only send out cards to the persons that you want to do business with, not every joe blow in the world. You decide who you want to do business with. Usually when we decide who wants and can afford what we have we are wrong. I used to sell online golf games to people. The price was $2400, I targeted country clubs and driving ranges. When they said that they couldn't afford it, I just said maybe you have a friend who can. They normally don't want to look like their friends have a better life than they do.

And remember tire kickers can drive Mercedes

DR WRIGHT thanks for letting me know I am wrong.


SAUNDRA JACKSON: You are Dr Letitia Wright of the Wright Place TV Show? Who inspire and educate Entrepreneurs worldwide

It's not about showing that you're wrong, it's about sharing other ways to accomplish what you are trying to accomplish.


DR WRIGHT: Thank you and have a great day.



THE LESSON HERE? Do not post if you are Angry, Depressed, Desperate or HIGH
I call it posting with ADDH

Quitting the Newsletter

I was thinking about my newsletter and wondering if people really have time to read all the newsletters they sign up for. I want to give you information you need and want without overwhelming you. You already have enough on your plate!


So I am going to try this new way. It's posted on the web, you can read it whenever you want. I'll just send you a note when we have a new post. Will that work for you?
One thing I have learned. When you are working with a strategy and the outcome you want is not happening, after a while you need to try a new strategy. Every quarter I look at one aspect of my business that is not working the way I would like and then work on changing it. That is what they mean when they say, work ON your business not IN your business. You do not always need a consultant to come into your business and help you improve. Sometimes you just need a little time to work on what does not work. Do not work harder with the strategy that does not work, change. Change your strategy.


So, tell me what you are going to work on to change?

Babyface at the Vault




Kathy King and I went down to check out Babyface in a new concert. But first
A word about the opening act.

This lady was a stunning looker of the Celine style. But her voice, oh my god....
She did this thing where the pitch went somewhere in the range of Dog hearing.
It was her thing because she did it twice in her act.
It was really not good. Forget waterboarding, have her sing like that
and anyone will tell you where the jewels are.

Babyface sang mostly his old stuff, I would have liked to hear some new stuff too but seriously, his body of work is so good, you enjoy those good songs.

When he said he was going to sing his favorite song, I thought it was going to
'ha- ha Eddie Murphy dumped you!"
but it was the song her wrote for his ex-wife when she gave birth to their oldest son Brandon.

I nice song but clearly one that only had meaning for him

He is still a great show, I am going on Itunes to see what the new stuff sounds like.
