I'm talking about a sneezers.
My sister in law has the most unusual sneeze. She "A'choos" in 5 consecutive tiny sneezes... and she does this every single time. I always thought this was the cutest I'd ever heard.
We all chuckle when Evie sneezes. It seems to bring on a feeling of goodwill.
I'm sharing this because I've heard those others. You know, the loud, spattering honk. How rude and how disgusting. The point I'm making is this.
Her sneeze is different -- and different can be endearing. Different is good. From a business perspective, every one of you in your own business has something that will stand out in the crowd. What's that for you?
Find out and share it. That's what you want your website and your print copy to offer - the difference you are and the difference you offer.
Stop muffling your unique sneeze. Show your prospects how you sound.
If you need help, call me. Together we can find out what you sneeze is all about. Let's put your ideas into words. Email me at info@patriciaogilvie.com
In my last post I mentioned that in a space of a day you can map out the launch of your brand new product, jot down ideas for your web copy, design your signature USP story (unique selling proposition), and outline your year's worth of content you'll include with your business benefits.
Now that's what I'm talking about - your signature sneeze!
Take care, good business, and great job today!

How Cost Effective is Social Media Really?
In the space of a day you can map out the launch of your brand new product, jot down ideas for your web copy, design your signature USP story (unique selling proposition), and outline your year's worth of content which you’ll include with your business benefits.
Plus, decide on which of a variety of ways to repurpose your content for an endless supply of newsletter articles, blog posts, tweets and more.
Phew... sounds like work. Wait, there's more.
Now you need to figure out which social media you want to utilize to cast that wide net showing yourself to the world.
I have fully utilized social media -- for myself and for my clients -- with sites like Digg, StumbleUpon, Twitter, FaceBook, Ezine Articles.com and more. I used to think it was cost effective but I’ve since recognized that there are elements that we tend to forget about – like our time!
Here then is an educational and entertaining item that explains why social media marketing is not free, never has been and never will be.
So please take a few minutes to check out the slides by Olivier Blanchard.
And I really hope you will because it's important you understand this to be successful in your business.

Why Smart People do Stupid Things
My nephew Killian attends UofT - Toronto!
And because I choose to donate funds to his volleyball team, I'm on the "thank-you" list of supporters. So I get newsletters and information periodically.
One such information source is their magazine. In looking over some of the articles, I read this one which not only peaked my interest, I thought you would enjoy it as well. It's about why smart people do stupid things.
You're smart, and I bet you don't often do stupid things. Am I right?
Find out what this researcher and psychologist found.
http://www.magazine.utoronto.ca/feature/why-people-are-irrational-kurt-kleiner
"Intelligence by itself doesn’t make you rational. Thinking rationally demands mental skills that some of us don’t have and many of us don’t use."
If you’ve done something, don't fret. So have I. Professor Keith Stanovich should know better, but he’s made stupid mistakes, too. Find out more by clicking on this link.

But They Don 't Have A Budget - Do They?
But They Don’t Have Any Mon*ey – Really Now, Can They Pay?
Last week my friend received feedback for a
new project she was working on.
She wanted advice from her colleagues whether
her commitment to developing content and workshops
as a service to caregiver families would be a good idea.
Several of her colleagues mentioned what an
extraordinary idea this was – a service providing
support and resources for those who care for
their loved ones was a great idea.
And then the economics advice hit her.
“But… they don’t have the mon*ey. Why
would they pay you? Do you really think
you’ll make a living offering this service
as a business?”
I immediately recoiled and said, "And you didn’t
buy into their lack belief, did you?”
There are two extremes when it comes to asking
for advice about a business idea.
One is to criticize and bring out the worst case
scenerio’s and never offer anything
positive.
The other is to flatter and praise and never
offer anything negative.
In both cases, you are given a set of their
beliefs – abundant or lack oriented.
I prefer the middle path. If you were to ask me
I would in return ask you how it felt when
you thought about this project.
I would ask you how much work have you put
into it?
And then I would ask you, how much do think
it’s worth?
Regardless of who advises you and for what -
you have to decide based on what you believe
will and can be created.
I believe in advising others for that which deserves
praise and can be duplicated. Telling someone she's
not going to get paid trying to persuade a certain
niche audience is not one of those situations.
It's feedback that does nothing to move you along the path.
It makes you stop and think, "Am I nuts to proceed?" instead of
thinking, "What can I DO to get what I believe I deserve
for my talents and effort?"
But here’s the pure truth of the belief that “they”
can’t afford you, or “they” won’t pay you:
you have no right to judge whether someone
can or cannot pay you.
That’s a judgement and once you put that out there,
it puts a known universal motion in play – self-fulfilling prophecy.
If you start to believe your efforts are not worth being
paid for, that’s precisely what you’ll receive in return. Nothing.
Let me repeat that. You have no right to judge whether
someone or business, or group or association can or cannot
afford you.
I got caught in that notion once. I was lead to believe
that a certain non-profit association did not have a
budget in place for marketing material.
So I rejected them as a potential client.
I found out later that a freelance competitor of mine
got this great, high paying gig! Wow, who was it?
The non-profit association who receives copious amounts
of funding from sources I hadn’t been aware of – and guess
what? They had a huge budget that year but not for me.
And another case. This time I believed employees of
a business who said to me, “Oh, no, Sadie doesn’t
use marketers. She does that all herself.”
I found out later that she spent over $30,000
in marketing – paid a competitive company most
of it to have signs, slogans and web copy written.
I spit foam!
Fortunately, I've experienced enough to know
when something is judgement and when it’s
an opportunity.
And I've written dozens and dozens of articles
and web copy for a variety of sizes and niches
to know that lack belief will destroy your dreams.
You may be looking for help to write your
next promotion, or you may be looking
for support in your next project.
When you go to www.patriciaogilvie.com
you’ll find tools and tips about how to
build a better web presence.
Great job today,
Patricia Ogilvie
P.S. You may have a brilliant idea and you may have
great friends who are quick to advice you - but as
Albert Einstein once wrote, "There are 3 Rules of Work:
Out of clutter find simplicity; from discord find harmony;
in the middle of difficulty, lies opportunity.”

Why I'm proud to be Canadian
Will you give this to my Daddy?
Last week I was in Toronto , Ontario attending a conference. While I was in the airport, returning home, I heard several people behind me beginning to clap and cheer. I immediately turned around and witnessed one of the greatest acts of patriotism I have ever seen.
Moving through the terminal was a group of soldiers in their camos. As they began heading to their gate, everyone (well almost everyone) was abruptly to their feet with their hands waving and cheering.
When I saw the soldiers, probably 30-40 of them, being applauded and cheered for, it hit me. I'm not alone. I'm not the only Canadian who still loves this country and supports our troops and their families.
I immediately stopped and began clapping for these young unsung heroes who are putting their lives on the line everyday for us so we can go to church, school, work and home without fear or reprisal.
Just when I thought I could not be more proud of my country or of our service men and women, a young girl, not more than 6 or 7 years old, ran up to one of the male soldiers. He kneeled down and said 'hi.'
The little girl then asked him if he would give something to her daddy for her.
The young soldier, who didn't look any older than maybe 22 himself, said he would try and what did she want to give to her Daddy. Then suddenly the little girl grabbed the neck of this soldier, gave him the biggest hug she could muster and then kissed him on the cheek.
The mother of the little girl, who said her daughter's name was Courtney, told the young soldier that her husband was a Soldier and had been in Afghanistan for 11 months now. As the mom was explaining how much her daughter Courtney missed her father, the young soldier began to tear up.
When this temporarily single mom was done explaining her situation, all of the soldiers huddled together for a brief second. Then one of the other servicemen pulled out a military-looking walkie-talkie. They started playing with the device and talking back and forth on it..
After about 10-15 seconds of this, the young soldier walked back over to Courtney, bent down and said this to her, 'I spoke to your daddy and he told me to give this to you.' He then hugged this little girl that he had just met and gave her a kiss on the cheek. He finished by saying 'your daddy told me to tell you that he loves you more than anything and he is coming home very soon.'
The mom at this point was crying almost uncontrollably and as the young soldier stood to his feet, he saluted Courtney and her mom. I was standing no more than 6 feet away from this entire event.
As the soldiers began to leave, heading towards their gate, people resumed their applause. As I stood there applauding and looked around, there were very few dry eyes, including my own. That young soldier in one last act of selflessness, turned around and blew a kiss to Courtney with a tear rolling down his cheek.
We need to remember everyday all of our soldiers and their families and thank God for them and their sacrifices. At the end of the day, it's good to be a Canadian.
RED FRIDAYS ----- Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing Red every Friday. The reason? Canadians who support our troops used to be called the 'silent majority'. We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love of country and home in record breaking numbers.
We are not organized, boisterous or over-bearing. We get no liberal media coverage on TV, to reflect our message or our opinions. Many Canadians, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of Canadians supports our troops.
Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday -and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that.. Every Canadian who supports our men and women afar will wear something red.
Let's make Canada on every Friday a sea of red.
If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, co-workers, friends, and family. It will not be long before Canada is covered in RED and it will let our troops know the once 'silent' majority is on their side more than ever; certainly more than the media lets on.
The first thing a soldier says when asked 'What can we do to make things better for you?' is...We need your support and your prayers.
Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example; and wear something red every Friday.

Halloween Surprise
Boo!
Did I SCARE YOU ... Have I got a surprise for you
and it’s free! Now that could scare you!
Hello all,
Here’s a quick Halloween note.
I don't know if you've ever heard of Psychotactics.com. I've enjoyed their website and have found it to have very useful business/marketing information.
I got an invitation that said Psychotactics were giving away a workshop they sell for $2500. And that they are doing a test and giving a limited number of copies away absolutely FREE...No charge. This workshop, the Brain Alchemy Masterclass, explains why structure—not marketing—is critical to grow a business effectively.
I’ve actually been using the techniques in a current project. And the most interesting part is that the employees are actually responding to having a structure (system) in place.
In this case, it’s documenting processes in the work environment that hadn’t been documented before. And with some policies in place, people are actually “feeling” better about what they do and what others around them do.
A little like accountability and responsibility defined.
Anyway, a free giveaway like this would normally have a catch of some sort, but this one (strangely) doesn't. You should check it out, and if you find it useful, you should get on the waiting list before it's filled.
I'm sending you this note because I thought this workshop could help you. You should check it out and judge for yourself.
Here's the link: http://www.psychotactics.com/free-goodies
great job today!
Patricia
P.S. I read somewhere on the page that there's a deadline for this free offer, so have a look and decide.

Let's Take on the World Today!
Ham it up!
None of it would ever have happened if Apple hadn’t manufactured the iPod.
You know what I’m referring to: that small box, about the size of a deck of cards or smaller (depending on the model) that stores and downloads audio files.
My world-travelled cousin Wayne brought back the most recent model… the size of a postage stamp! I’m not kidding! Teenie tiny!
There is no mistaking that the online culture would take on Apple’s technology and rework it for business.
So now, the iPod fever has businesses offering audio and video samples for their customers.
They call them podcasts. You are probably producing podcasts yourself.
The term "podcast" is no longer specifically associated to the iPod as it refers to any combination of software and hardware that allows its users to automatically download and store recorded digital audio files distributed through an RSS feed.
You love to talk? If not, get someone who does. And you build podcasts to offer verbal and visual products and information to your customer base.
Where else can you submit podcasts?
I was surprised when I found out that you can submit yours to 84 different places!
Where to Submit Your Podcasts: Best Podcast Search Engines and Directories
This link takes you to a resource where you will find a comprehensive list of all the places (search engines and directories) where you can promote your business through your podcasts.
Podcasts are a terrific marketing tool and so easy to produce. But until now, you probably didn't know the best places to publish them. Now that you know, ham it up!
Want more independence?
If you had no technical expertise, how would you make money on the internet? You probably need to sell a product or service.
What if you didn’t have a product or service just now? Borrow one!
What? Yes, borrow one, sell it from your blog or website, and earn a percentage of the cost of the product or service.
The best resource for affiliate products – those products that owners allow you to sell for a percentage of the profits – is Clickbank.
You would create an account, get your own hoplink (which means your code name that separates you from the pack) and resell it for yourself.
The money generated will fill your Clickbank account, you will receive a cheque in the mail, and wha-la!
Passive income. And you can recreate this little formula over and over.
In fact, I found a product that looked interesting that explains the entire process!
Click here if you’re interested in making money on Clickbank.
Yes but… I hear you mumbling. So how can you let people know you have a product for sale? Where do you get the traffic for your blog or web sales page?
That’s where social media comes in. Right now, Twitter and Facebook allow anybody to build a list of followers.
You can tell them about your Clickbank product and share it with your Twitter or Facebook friends.
It's so simple once you see it for yourself.
PS - Remember to set yourself up in Twitter and Facebook. They’re the idea tools to get your podcast messages out as well.
have a wonderful day and great job today!

Your Thoughts Generate Energy - Are They Abundant Or Limiting?
Your thoughts come out of the patterns you live your life from…. What I mean is, what you think comes from the frame-work and context of what you believe.
Changing your thoughts is too difficult – up to 60,000 thoughts comes through each day. Watching and guaging and changing these is near impossible.
So how do you shift and change those beliefs? You don’t – you shift out of the “energy” they create in your body.
This concept is proven in science… and these 2, David and Kristin Morelli show you how to shift the energy instead of rethinking what gets in the way of what you truly desire in your life.
Check out their explanation and experience a sample of changing energy here.
Have a great day and great job!

2 Articles and a Blog Post!
. . . And I didn’t Pay a Cent!
Over the years I’ve helped website owners get their sites ranked in the top 10 – 20 so their customers could find them and buy from them.
I used a simple model. 2 articles and a blog post!
Sounds ridiculously ridiculous? Well it works!
My website salesletter.ca has been ranked in the top 8 in Google ever since I used this rank building model. And it took less than a week to get there. Furthermore, it didn’t cost me a cent!
I’ve shared this simple secret for years and those who believed me, got top ranking. Those who didn’t believe me or took no action, well, they still sit in the 100,000th place and wonder why they don’t get any traffic.
So why build a website?
Couple of reasons. The most important, however, is to share what you have to offer. You sell yourself and your products or services.
Getting your website indexed and ranking within Google, Yahoo and MSN has to be a priority when creating a site. Otherwise, why bother!
But you already know this.
You may have built the greatest site ever but if you don’t generate traffic then you have wasted your time. Getting people to visit your site and act on what you have to offer is the key to making money online.
I’m here to share my experience and that not only was it simple, it didn’t cost me a cent!
How do you write your articles?
I don’t know how many times I’ve tried to tell people – the title is the key!
Most people spend 20 minutes or more- days sometimes - on the content and a couple of minutes writing a title and the resource box. Wrong!
The title is what your target market will see in Google or other search engines. So why wouldn’t you spend time making it powerful, attractive and the key message as your Keyword phrase?
I love golf. Here's me at the prestigious Maligne Lake in Jasper Park, Jasper, Alberta. I mention this because along with me, there are people who search for swing improvement, score reduction methods, best clubs, and of course finest golf courses.
They don’t search general, they search specific.
So I did a quick search for Big Bertha Here’s what came up. The title is specific and the first paragraph tells you what you want to hear – forgiveness! Golfers know what that means.
Callaway Golf Big Bertha Irons
The new Big Bertha Iron set takes forgiveness to new heights by integrating a set of clubs featuring the new i-brids – clubs designed to replace hard-to-hit ...
Specific is good.
But better would have been to put the word “forgiveness” right in the title. Because your readers read titles first, you have to let them know what you’re offering in your articles and websites right now. “How Big Bertha Iron Forgives The Worst Swings!”
I can attest to that myself! I own Big Bertha and she loves me!
The better your title the more people you will get to read your content.
The content of course is informative and tells your customers all about the good points of your product or service. And you have got to make people want it.
Appeal to their emotions as well as their ego. If you are writing about a putter tell them how it will improve their golf.
If it’s a new coffee machine, tell them how it’s the latest technology available and how all their guests will respect them for making such great coffee. Give them reasons to buy what you have to offer. By the time they get to the end of the article they will be eager to find out more.
And that’s the secret – they will click on your website or give you a call directly.
The article has another critical element that people seem to forget about. The author or Resource box.
Here’s how most people write their bios at the end of an article:
“Patricia Ogilvie has been golfing for twenty years and is considered by some to be an expert with driver techniques. Visit www.patriciaogilvie.com for more details.”
Putting the web address is important. That is called a backlink and search engines algorithms (formulas pick that up and give your site credibility) Backlinks are the backbone of higher rankings!
Here’s the catch. If you are writing your resource boxes like this one then you are losing visitors. If you are getting clickthrough rates from your ezine articles anyway between 20 and 30% = then congratulations – I stand corrected.
However, if not then you need to change your resource box.
Make your new resource box compelling and make people want to find out more.
“Now you have discovered why the Callaway Big Bertha is the best driver on the market click the following link to find out how you can add an extra 50 yards to your teeshots.”
Use anchor text so that they can click on “Callaway Big Bertha”. This way it takes the reader to your site and Google loves the backlinks!
You articles represents a complete sales presentation. Your Title is the opening, the content is the sales pitch and the resource box is the close. Just like in normal sales, it’s the close that separates the ordinary salesmen from the great salesmen.
I mentioned that having backlinks is the BACKBONE of having good quality articles that rank well and drive traffic. That means you don’t need to spend money on PPC.
Once you get into the 5 or 6 of the top 10 rankings in Google you can rest assured that your competition is probably spending several hundred dollars to get the same traffic you are getting. Feels good doesn’t it!
The most important part of any campaign is the promotion of your blog posts and website. The more promotion you do the more traffic you receive and the more income you make.
Hope you enjoyed this post and remember,
Great Job!

The Courage To Be A Business Hero
The Courage To Be A Confident Business Success Hero –
How to get from where you are to where you want to be
Renowned copywriter Bill Bonner of AWAI explains, "Stories are the way we understand the world around us. In marketing material, they are a very powerful way to draw your reader in."
He further explains that a good story begins in the middle. It has a hero. The hero has a conflict. The conflict is resolved emotionally.
What’s your marketing story?
As I let that statement sift through my brain, I was reminded that our lives unfold based on the stories that we tell ourselves. We like to attach ourselves to the conflicts because we forget how they started. Hence we stay in the middle and don’t always know how to resolve them. We forget this one important fact: we are the heroes of our own destinies!
Those moments that infiltrate our experiences good, bad and ugly, are those that we give judgment energy into and believe 100% of the time. Those moments are the key to our shifting out of the conflict and bringing alignment from where we are to what we want.
In business, it’s no different.
If your Business goals are scattered, limp, hypnotic (dreamy, without substance) or non-existent, you’ve been telling yourself a conflicted story. If your Business goals are authentic (what you truly want because you believe in yourself) you’ve been telling yourself a success story.
See what I mean? I think it’s about time you told yourself HERO stories about how to build your business successes – another way of stating the obvious: self-confidence!
Here are 8 confident boosting business HERO steps you can implement immediately and build up your business success blueprint.
Confident Business Hero Step 1. Today is your only concern. Think about it. How much control do you have over tomorrow or yesterday? NONE! Said differently, focus on the present moment. To do this you may need to set up time management plans. Include your daily activities, work, and entertainment, relax time, family time and what’s important for you to do moment by moment. When you set time plans, you are your own HERO and building confidence to spend your time wisely.
Confident Business Hero Step 2. Write out your plans. As you write your plans, consider how you will deal with the world around you. Write those plans out in a story of what you want to see yourself accomplishing. Does your story of what you want represent what you are doing, being and living? Respect your dreams, then you respect yourself and others – it’s that contagious. You be the HERO right now.
Confident Business Hero Step 3. Add one new confidence building strategy each day. For example, if your daily routine consists of drinking only one glass of water, top it up. Drink two! This way, you start telling yourself you respect your body and your health. If you don’t know the value of increased water, let me share just this one point. The added water flushes out toxins, crude, and anything your body doesn’t need! You’ll just feel better for it
Confident Business Hero Step 4. Move more! Yes, it could be called exercise, however, I just call it move more! Plan today to walk fifteen minutes. That’s it! – take the stairs on your break, go up, come down, and get on with your day. The more effort you put into building a positive you, the more you will gain confidence that you are indeed, your own best HERO.
Confident Business Hero Step 5. Manage the time you do have. If you are working long hours, learn to manage your time – better yet, learn to work easier and with less effort. Sound impossible? Look at it this way. Overworking yourself is leading you nowhere but to poor health. You need to take time out for you. So one of the first HERO tips you can apply is to handle only your most complex problems. That’s it. Complex for you is probably different than complex for me. Complex could be boring, or difficult, or stressful. Complex could be relationship oriented or lone-wolf oriented. Which feels the most challenging for you? Do that and only that. Leave the simple alone – for now. The magic behind this task management is that you will feel relief, feel good about yourself, and feel great about having slayed the monster! Remember, you’re the HERO!
Confident Business Hero Step 6. Set a time that is best for you. For instance, if you do your best job in the early morning, take that complex task and get it done. The rest of the day is for you to relax through.
Confident Business Hero Step 7. Relax: Here’s a trip that adds relaxation in moments: Stretch in the morning when you arise, stretch in the afternoon, and stretch at night to relax your muscles. Find more ways that relax you and add one per day. Once you learn how to relax, you can move to find ways to reduce time wasted. For example, in the evening you could lay out your clothes for the next day. This way, you’re not stressed about what to wear in the morning especially for you’re running late. Your time is your link to productivity. Use it wisely. You’re the HERO.
Confident Business Hero Step 8. How to Stop Procrastination. Do you procrastinate? Do you want to stop? Why? First let’s define it. Procrastination is wasting time and building stress because you decided – told yourself the story that you can leave this yet another hour, day, week, year, maybe never get it done. So let me ask you thin. Is the procrastinated item stressing you more or those around you? Is the procrastinated item of value to you? Or is it something that really isn’t that important to be completed? Will it affect your life? If it affects you in a negative way, write down when you will complete it. Do it as if it is the most important item in your day. Otherwise, delegate it, destroy it, and forget it, permanently. Those pesky hangers on just cloud your success. They are stories – lies - you tell yourself. So go ahead, HERO, keep telling your story, or change it. It’s up to you.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this article. I’m adding one more step. Learn to say NO. You know who you are. Saying no is a great way to improve your business success. Saying no is a positive attitude that builds confidence. If you say yes to each person that consumes your time, you will waste valuable time that guides you nowhere. No is your friend. You will discern what to say no and what to say yes to with practice – start today.
Great Job!

Do You Make These Mistakes On Your Website?
Dear Reader,
I finally got my husband to to pick out the too-tight and too-old clothes in our closets. Phew what a relief.
Now the good clothes don't get wrinkled and bunched due to lack of space. And best of all, the reduced "clutter" makes finding a shirt or pair of slacks easier to see.
Got me thinking about web sites!
So go ahead and read this short article about how to clear up clutter on your own website.
Have You Experienced The Disaster of Clutter?
Take a good look at your website.
How easy is it to find the main idea or the actual product you're selling? Is your main objective clouded with graphics, flash, and too dark, too cluttered with ideas?
Are you asking too much of your visitor?
A recent prospect asked me to take a look on his site and make suggestions how he could increase his sales potential.
I looked and I saw my husband's closet! I had no idea what his product was - in fact, I couldn't find it for almost 10 minutes.
Now do you think a normal web searcher is going to spend 10 minutes looking for your main product or service?
I think we agree on this one. NO!
It's all this clutter. And I'm going to say it straight: clutter on your website equates to no marketing skill - that's it.
Clutter doesn't work.
Focus sells.
"Good writing" says copywriter Michael Masterson, "is clear writing. Pick one idea and zero in on that with everything you've got."
Clutter that forces your eyes to shift here, there, everywhere is painful.
The brain can't handle it and so quits looking. In fact, the brain finds just one thing to look for and ignores the rest.
You've lost your sale if they're looking at the wrong elements.
How can you declutter your website and leave the important information in?
Print out your page, and get one of your top customers to red-mark (just like in school) the lines and items that are not important.
You'll be surprised and pleased at the results.
How Usable Is Your Web Site?
Here's a quick short list of what your optimized, customer-focused website requires in order to attract your niche target market:
A simple, clean design that focuses on your customer needs versus overblown designs, overly word text or overbearing visual gimmicks.
Easy navigation or access to your solutions you offer, without being too busy or confusing.
Detailed information in the form of other pages or links within just one or two clicks; any more can be frustrating for your customer.
Appropriate and helpful graphics that balance with descriptive text.
And of course, a logical information hierarchy, with menus that guide customers to what they need.
Ready to rescue your website from drowning? Put in relevancy instead! Getting your prospects to act by calling you, ordering your product, subscribing to your ezine... can feel like pulling a Jeep out of a frozen lake! You need the right tools, the right resources and the desire!

"Gag me with a Spoon!"
There were 7 of us scrunched around the bench'd
table at the newest (and fancy!) restaurant last night.
We were celebrating our friend Mari-Lyn's greatest adventure yet!
She's moved south of the border into a hot climate state in the
U.S. And she's getting married! Woo-hoo! and Congrats.
The topic of conversation was hot - not about the state of
the economy but hot about the "attitudes" about the economy.
You know what I mean?
I think most of you will agree that if we had to listen to
any more sad, sappy, pathetic tones of voice, head wagging,
“Yeah, it’s really tough out there. It’s the economy, you know,”
I'm going to barf! Gag me with a spoon! That's how we
responded as kids and it stuck whenever I hear sad sacks.
I'm going to be brutally honest here.
The ladies last night, and more friends I've spoken to over
the past several weeks all agree on one thing - there
is so much opportunity right now - if not working for
someone else, then, working for yourself, online!
There just is!
We're a small representation of the general population.
We realized that some of us were having the best
business boom of our lives.
Others were handling things well.
A few, wanted more.
What I heard over and over was "How can I start
my own business?" "What would I do on the web?"
There's a lot of hype out there and you certainly
don't want to waste your time or spend ca^sh on
ideas that don't work.
So I did some research. I actually spent a lot of time
in Tampa recently, brushing up on the virtues of
optimizing web sites so web's get noticed.
That's not why I'm writing today.

Merits of Local Advertising
Does Local Adverti^sing Work?
Here in Alberta, we help each other out if we can.
My friend and business associate, Christina Dennis is in the final stages of putting a website and catalog style booklet (Directory) out to 18,000 Parkland County, Alberta residents. You know where Parkland County is if you're from Edmonton, even Calgary.
It's a great opportunity for you to place an ad with her to reach 18,000 potential clients!
Right now, local small business is standing up and making noises!
We hear you!
Heck, Christina for one understands that you want your business to be something you're proud of. Something your kids are proud of for you. Something you can say to yourself any time of day, "Hey, I did something good today!"
Christina understands that as a small business, the challenges of keeping home business growing is important. Adverti^sing her own small business to local home prospects doubled her results. Now she wants to help you too!
You may be interested in putting your ad into this new Directory to 18,000 people this September.
May 31, 2009 is your last chance to sign up to place an ad in the Parkland Business Directory. An ad in the booklet starts at only $199 + GST which includes a web spot as well.
So go ahead and visit http://www.parklandhomebusiness.ca/ for more details or to sign up online.
Christina has extended her coupon offer -- if you sign up for the Directory before May 31, 2009, she will give you a 10% off coupon towards your advertising.
She is also offering a new incentive. For every friend you refer place an ad in the Directory, and if they purchase an ad (any size), she will give you an additional 20% off of your advertising.
Now that's a deal. That means a FR^EE ad if you refer 5 people to the Directory and they purchase a spot! (Referral Incentive Offer Expires May 31, 2009).
Are you a writer? Have valuable insight?
Christina is also looking for individuals to write articles for the directory.
If your submitted article is chosen to be published, you will receive an additional 20% off of your advertising (and your name and contact info can be featured at the bottom of the article).
Interested?
Here's the topic choices:
--Why shop locally and from a home-based business?
--Benefits of owning a home-based business
--Why do business in Parkland County?
--The top 5 home-based business opportunities for the stay-at-home mom
--Tips on family budgeting in tough economic times and...
Articles on any other topic related to home business & family that would be appropriate and a beneficial read for Parkland County residents. Please let Christina know if you're interested in any of the above, and don't forget to sign up before the end of this month if you haven't already.

There's simply no two ways around it...
Whether you want to start a profitable business ... or dramatically expand your existing business...
YOU MUST HAVE COPY THAT SELLS LIKE HOTCAKES!
Flyers, brochures, your business card, or the Internet, where up to 1.4 billion+ web surfers.will read your site at one time or another... all of them potential customers!
But it's all a waste if your copy isn't FIRST CLASS.
You'll just be spinning your wheels, not sure why things just aren't working out as you hoped.
That's why I wrote a simple ebook with a plan of how to draft winning copy! Check it out.
Great day and great job today,
Patricia

Thank You Susan Boyle!
A few weeks ago, Susan was alone and lonely. She freely admitted she’d never even been kissed. And at 47, life had nearly passed her by.
One glance at the woman and you could take off into imagination judgments, all over the board!
After all – haven’t our social environments, movies and TV taught us that successful people are good-looking, intelligent, talented and, l … cool?
And haven’t they also taught us that people who look like Susan are dim-witted, ungifted, worthless?
You have to see it to believe it: the judges, the audience, scoffed.
When Susan dared share her dream of singing on stage, most people only snickered at her …
When she said she would audition for the British version of American Idol, the laughing grew louder …
Because, after all: Everyone knows that singing stars never, ever look like Susan.
Then I knew how she effected me and what I had to do next.
I too was moved to tears, with appreciation, admiration and heart-felt “you go girl!” sentiment that tingled up and down my legs!
The truth is, people, what is reflected from others, demonstrates the feelings we need to deal within ourselves.
For me, Susan reflected my own fears of being an underdog, but why?
Because I believed I was.
I believed I was less than others, beneath those who told me so. More importantly, I learned not to ask for the contract, the money, the dream - and you know what else?
Most of the time, I didn’t even know it (90% of our actions are motivated by our subconscious!) “You won’t get it anyway, Patricia! And if you did ask, they’ll screech at you for asking and making their lives les miserabe!
Well you get the drift.
I’m certain Susan Boyle no longer feels like the underdog - at her age, I think she understood there comes a time to step out on that stage and sing for her life.

Thank you Susan Boyle!

Meet This Single Mom, Retired at 30!
I am so excited about what I've found! I've been really eager to share this with you. Your world is about to change as I introduce you to two people with incredible stories of financial freedom, success and millions plus they're totally authentic, real people just like you and me!
They captured my attention when I learned they haven’t always lived in wealth and abundance - they were once seekers too! Along the way they learned, designed and implemented the most powerful tools available anywhere to bust through blocks that separated them from wealth.
The result? Two people who could be retired for life (even in this economy) but they're not because they want to help you, me and everyone they can enjoy the same amazing abundance.
Let me share a quick highlight of their stories:
She started out selling baby wipes out of her junky green minivan when she was 21, by 27 was selling deals in excess of $100,000,000 and retired for life as a single mom by age 30.
He's a leading expert in the transformation of subconscious blocks utilizing cutting-edge tools that only spiritual masters and mystics have known.
Together, they are a husband and wife and a powerhouse team with a radio show that catapulted to #4 on iTunes after only 3 months on the air. Their names are Kristin and David Morelli.
Why do I believe all of this matters to you?
Click on this link http://www.everythingisenergy.com/40dayscall and watch a brief video of Kristin and David sharing in their own words what they have in store for you. Find out what I mean when I say, "Your world is about to change..."
Patricia Ogilvie
P.S. by the way, I was lucky enough to have a coaching session with them. And in 5 seconds! Yes, 5 seconds, David pinpointed my dense, dark, heavy block to my receiving abundance and money! And the tools in my arsenal now are making shifts for me almost like energized magic. It is true – Everything is energy and it’s time to shift. Check their short video because more is coming!
