Why 2015 is the year of video marketing and how your business can benefit from this trend?

I had the pleasure to present a lot of social media panels and trainings and in the last months I start most of them asking the audience: “Who is a social media marketer?”. Usually I see only few hands up. After that I say: “Hm, but … who has a Facebook and a Linkedin account?” Most hands are up and about 30 to 50% of the audience starts to laugh.

Really, the moment you start a social media account for yourself or a business you become a social media marketer. In 2015 I’ve launched my own 3 months Social Media Online accelerator and as a thank you for reading this message I want to give you for free one account. Please see the details here: http://socialmediatothebank.com/48-hours-only/. (the link is available only for a limited time, otherwise the price is $697).

It was said that 2014 was the year of Video Marketing because Video became a huge part of the way we market ourselves as professionals and our businesses.

In 2014 I witnessed for the first time the launch of few stellar products offering for pennies on the dollars the possibility to create videos for businesses.

These were: Videomaker FX, Explaindio and Easy Sketch Pro. Amazing software pieces doing for few dollars and some work what small studios do for hundreds of dollars. Amazing value I can say!

Video is even bigger in 2015 and if you don’t use it in your marketing mix you miss a lot of opportunities. Continue reading “Why 2015 is the year of video marketing and how your business can benefit from this trend?”

A-B-U-N-D-A-N-C-E Remove the Blocks to Your Abundance with This Complimentary Invitation

It’s the beginning of a new year so many of us are working on the New Year Resolutions. In the last 10 years I’ve learned amazing things related to what is called “personal development” and I am happy to share them during my talks, training and coaching sessions. One of the most common reasons why New Year Resolutions simply don’t work is that there’s a big gap between what we desire at the conscious level and how we are programmed at the subconscious level. Many of us have various levels of blocks which keep us at a distance from the life we truly want to live. Most of the block are at the subconscious level so we don’t even know that we have them. Fortunately there are people and some of them are the best in the world at … removing them. Here’s a nice Infographic for my online family about removing abundance blocks.

The Steps to Prepare and Execute an Effective Business Plan

Many people are afraid of the idea of preparing a business plan because they think it is a complicated set of unnecessary documents which exist only to make their life more difficult. Business plans are necessary because they help an entrepreneur to see his business. Instead of talking in abstract terms about the customer base and the profit potential, a business plan helps to see the business deals in concrete terms. A business plan also forces an entrepreneur to think through every aspect of his business in advance. These plans also make other people interested in someone’s business. A business plan shows people that the creator of it is professional and he understands what it takes to start and manage a business. If external funding, loan or investment is needed business plan is all the more necessary.

A business plan should cover five main sections which are listed below.
