Channeling the Swedish chef…

So apparently I have watched the Muppet’s movie once too often.  While trying to be clever late last night as I was preparing to send the newsletter, I typed in the headline, I am NOT Sweden.  Great – that makes no sense (well, it did late last night, but not so much this morning).  Although Sweden appears to work in my analogy of refusing to stay neutral on issues I strongly believe in, the term Switzerland is by far better known in the world of neutrality.  With apologies.

Part 2 – and as many a bright-eyed reader noticed this morning (what kind of coffee are you drinking and where can I buy it?), the press release from Cindy Shebley had incorrect dates for her upcoming Online Photography classes.  You can view the corrected dates here:

I got my client from your Squidoo Class!

I just received this fabulous message from our Rock Star Stephanie who teaches our Squidoo classes at OSI Rock Stars.  Congrats to Patricia who’s client found her on Google through her Squidoo page!!  And HUGE thanks to Stephanie for teaching such amazing Squidoo classes.  Click here to watch her incredible webinars about this powerful marketing tool: http://osirockstars.com/?s=squidoo

 

From Stephanie…I had to share this email received from a fellow Rock Star:

 

Message from Rock Star:  houndandhandbag

 

Dear Stephanie, I took your Advanced Squidoo course a few months ago, and decided I would make my business lens more serious, and more importantly add the keywords I was missing. I get a message from Squidoo saying someone found my page and wants to book an appointment to go over wedding details. I had to ask them once I got to meet them how they found me. It turns out thanks to adding those keywords, my page was on the first Google page when the guy punched in “wedding decorators Vancouver”. I don’t know if you know about Vancouver, but there are quite a few of us in the wedding industry that are decorators, and no amount of SEO I could have done could have got me there.Thank you for your tips and advice. I just need to do more of this! You and Squidoo rock!

All the best Patricia Harold Studio 96 Designs/ Hound and Handbag Gift Company

 

Our Advanced Squidoo class put her on the first page of Google and got her a client!  HOW COOL IS THAT?!?  OMG I’m so excited to hear about a direct success story from one of our classes….

The good news is that I talked ‘them’ into a week’s leeway time so that I could let you know that the great $297 deal is getting pulled off the table.  But, there is only 48 hours left to save BIG bucks and Choose Success and become one our incredible Rock Stars.

For those of you who may not yet know what Rock Stars is…I have only 7 days to teach you all of the amazing benefits you will receive for being a Rock Star.   OSI Rock Stars started with the Online Success Institute (OSI) where we would interview experts about how eBayers could achieve Success online.  Due to incredible demand, those Live classes were recorded and then put up together on a membership site called OSI Rock Stars where members can listen to the replays 24/7.  OSI Rock Stars is now:

·        Over 100 hours of Success content - topics range from setting up your eBay Store for more profit to search engine optimization to taxes & legal issues to advanced marketing online.  Janelle’s vast network of guests include Seth Godin, Cliff Ennico, Reiva Lesonsky, Catherine Seda, Griff, and many more notables in the eBay and ecommerce world.  Special representatives from top companies with topics include Researching for Profit with Terapeak, Sourcing profitable products with WorldWideBrands, Advanced utilization of eBay Stores as well as many other tools that will increase your success (including a special quarterly class taught by the eBay Stores team)

·        Exclusive Success Training – monthly you will have a rare all access VIP pass to Live training including: Q&A with Janelle, Success profit coaching with the Auction Listing Coach, and in-depth training on Success subjects (Janelle just finished a 4-hour training on Profitable Keywords that increased participants profits on eBay by as much as 120%)

·        Communitya unique, supportive community of like-minded Success entrepreneurs who are incredibly active on the site, forums and co-promoting each others business.

 

There are many other features including 24/7 access to education, over 10 hours of additional content being added monthly (usually it’s around 16-20), marketing for your business due to the high seo rankings that OSI Rock Stars has achieved, and more.  But I think your decision shouldn’t be made from the features of the site, but rather what others have achieved from being members.  You can find this information at:
