Truth About Making Money With Teleseminars - FREE CALL

I wanted to share an invitation to listen in to a FREE call. On Tuesday, August 5, 2008, Internet Marketing expert, Kathleen Gage is offering a F.R.E.E one-hour teleconference called, "The Truth About Making Money with Teleseminars."

More and more teleseminars are popping up all over the internet. If you want to know how to make money with teleseminars from someone who consistently generates between $5, 000 - $15,000 from her own teleseminars, this call is for you. With one series, Kathleen made over $45,000 in sales. I've been on enough of her calls to be aware that she knows what she's doing.

Discover how to use teleseminars to make more money than you dreamed possible...
You will learn how to:

• Be wildly successful... discover what you need to know BEFORE you develop a teleseminar in order to be wildly successful. Attract hundreds (even thousands) of eager buyers...Find out how to effectively market your teleseminars for practically nothing while attracting lots of listeners.
• Avoid the 3 major blunders ...Learn what you must and must not do in developing and delivering teleseminars to avoid the mistakes most people make that prevents them from making lots of money from teleseminars.
• Avoid costly mistakes .... Discover what works and what doesn't when it comes to making money from teleseminars.
• Plus! Find out one thing she does that guarantees she always fill her sessions and make thousands of dollars with every FREE teleseminar I host.
  

If you have ever been on one of Kathleen's calls, you know you will learn more in this one hour free call then most people learn in paid courses. If you haven't heard Kathleen yet, then you are in for one of the most informative experiences ever. Her free teleseminars are how I first learned about her and the wealth of information that she has to share.

It's a FREE class and you'll walk away with lots of ideas you can implement immediately
Kathleen has only a limited number of seats available and they are already filling up fast. I registered and got my seat early. I talked to Kathleen about doing my own teleseminars after we did a couple of successful teleseminars together, so I'm ready to get the details she is offering on the free call.

Any questions, definitely feel free to let me know.

Qualities of a Writer Who Promotes

All writers who want their book promotion to be effective should consider the key qualities of a great marketing person. Two of these qualities include:

Determination
Persistence

These are two qualities that some people believe are positive traits, while others consider them to be negative. But, depends on how you exhibit these qualities.

Effective Authors Show Determination

Determination and persistence are positive traits, but you can drive other people crazy if you are overly persistent or determined in an irritating way. Are you persistent or obnoxious? There is a big difference in those two traits. I was just talking to another writer today. We were discussing how persistence is necessary for writers. This applies to writing the book, submitting the work to publishers and/or agents and promoting the final product.

It Is Acceptable for Writers To Be Persistent

When you are persistent, you see a project through to the end or until you reach your goals.However, how do you react when you approach someone and they are not interested? Do you continue to bother them and pester them even when they are clearly not interested? This can apply to agents, publishers, book stores owners and managers and many other people that you encounter when promoting your books.

Pushy Authors Are Not More Effective

There are very few people who respond in a positive way when they are pestered and badgered. They may agree to sell a couple of copies of your book to get rid of you, but they won’t work with you on a long term basis. But, will they make an effort to help promote your books? Or, will they make an effort to avoid you? It’s been known to happen.

You can get good results without being a pain. Be enthusiastic and persistent, but there are times when you need to learn to take no for an answer. Make the rejection positive by asking if there about the reasons why they aren’t interested. Use these comments to improve your approach or your book promotion.

Political Analyst Predicted Racial Divide on Obama Candidacy in the Ethnic Presidency: How Race Decides the Race to the White House

A New York Times Poll released July 15 found that the prospect of an Obama presidency has deeply divided black, white and Hispanic voters. A majority of Hispanics and blacks say an Obama White House will improve race relations. A majority of whites say it won’t. In his book, The Ethnic Presidency: How Race Decides the Race to the White House, noted political analyst Earl Ofari Hutchinson predicted that race would be a decisive factor in the presidential race.

Hutchinson said that the New York Times poll validated many of the key points and predictions in his book, The Ethnic Presidency. The poll found that a majority of whites are skeptical about Obama’s competency, experience and political beliefs. While a majority of blacks and Hispanics believe that Obama is best able to bring racial harmony and hope to the poor and dispossessed.

“The racial divide that the New York Times poll found on everything from black and white views of racial progress, political expertise, immigration, and the future of the country under the first African-American president,” says Hutchinson, “echo the points detailed in The Ethnic Presidency.”

Hutchinson goes much further and tells how racial messages, images, stereotypes and code words impact and influence presidential elections past and present. The New York Times poll found African-American, Hispanic and Asian voters will play a major role in the presidential election. Hutchinson tells why their role and importance in presidential elections has grown immensely in the past decade and will continue to grow in future presidential elections.

Earl Ofari Hutchinson is an author and political analyst. His new book The Ethnic Presidency: How Race Decides the Race to the White House was published by Middle Passage Press, February, 2008.

Planning Something Very Unique in August

I've got some interesting tours coming up in the next several months - but I just lined up something that I think is going to be really fun.

In August, Dave Richardson, author of Vietnam Air Rescues, will tour cyberspace with me. His book is very good and we'll be talking about it throughout the month. The first Monday in August I'll interview him on my radio show (www.blogtalkradio.com/nikkileigh) and we'll talk about his book. Then, a week or two later, I'll interview him and the man he rescued on his last mission in Vietnam. They both wrote books about their experiences and we'll get to hear their recollections. This will give us the point of view from the air and from land.

I'll post more details as we get closer to the tour - but I'm so excited about this idea that I had to pass the info along now. I've got another interview coming up on my show Monday, July 7, with Jill Lublin and she'll talk about her new book - Get Noticed... Get Referrals. More details in a day or two.

Personality Not Included by Rohit Bhargava

I want to take this opportunityto tell you about a wonderful new business book - its called Personality Not Included by Rohit Bhargava.

I've always worked to make any business I owned or managed, customer friendly and unique. I have never liked the "faceless" companies that are so big and that seem to ignore the customer and the human element. The idea of a business having a personality is a great idea and Rohit definitely has the background and the resources to create a great book about this topic.

I highly recommend it and my review of it was just posted - the link is posted below. Feel free to let me know what you think and if you have questions. If you want to set your business apart from your competitors -- this is a must read. Even if you think business is fine, it would be good to read this and see how you can make it even better :)
