How to Add a Social Store to your Facebook Fan Page
The stats are showing that Facebook is getting a lot more hits than regular website visits, ebay or Amazon, so why not leverage that and add a Social Store to your Facebook Profile or Page? Althought Facebook is for relationships, not for direct selling, it certainly doesn’t hurt to have featured items available where your fans are spending most of their time. It’s a nice added convenience to your fans to have your products housed within Facebook. You can set up your Social store with a Facebook app, Payvment. Their Standard...
read moreCool Tool: Transcription & Dictation Software
Have an audio file that you would love to get transcribed? If you record coaching sessions or tele-classes, it is a nice value add to add a transcript of those calls to your clients. Nuance has several products that can get this done for you, on a PC or Mac. I’m on a Mac, so this is the program I would use. Another use that I’ve seen is for Free Report creation. Most of my clients have lots of audios to give away for free, but don’t want to sit down and write a free report. With the software, you can upload your audio file...
read moreWhy I love GoDaddy
You may have noticed I recently put some ads on my site for GoDaddy. I’ve been an affiliate for a while, but have not made any effort to promote them. Here’s why I decided now to actively promote them… Recently, I was working on transferring a website from my server to my client’s server and was having a hell of a time. After a day or two, on the brink of losing my mind, I finally placed a call into GoDaddy tech support. Once again, their customer service and support exceeded my expectations. They saw the Restore I...

read morePaypal’s Tax Reporting Changes to the IRS
If you have a Paypal account, you may have been asked for your Tax ID number recently. This is the result of a bill President Bush signed into law known as The Housing Assistance Tax Act of 2008, although I have no idea how this relates to housing! Regardless, in the middle of the bill is a new requirement for credit card merchants to report certain payments to the IRS. The law was passed in 2008 but the new reporting requirement didn’t kick in until now, and forms 1099-K will be issued in early 2012. The goal of the new regulations is to...
read moreNeed an online scheduling program to book your sessions?
I have been using Tungle for my appointment scheduling, but I realized it’s missing some important features and functionality. I’ve researched many alternatives and tested out several as well. I found TimeTrade to be a really good solution. It has great features and is affordable, only $49 a year with a free 30 day trial for the “Professional” version. You set up an “Activity” such as “Free Consultation” or “Coaching Session. Then, you set up your appointment availability- the times where...
read moreThe Dalai Lama & Archbishop Tutu’s “Hangout” on Google+
I got such a kick when I heard about this (being a big fan of both the Dalai Lama and technology). The Dalai Lama was supposed to visit Archbishop Tutu in South Africa, but because of visa issues he was not able to enter the country. So what did he do? Joined Google+ and immediately posted a Happy Birthday video for Archbishop Tutu. Then, he planned a Google+ Hangout between the two. This was in honor of the Inaugural Desmond Tutu Peace Lecture. What can I say, but “wow”! It seems such an oddity for a great spiritual leader to be...
read moreWhere to place your link in a tweet…
The best place to post a link in a Tweet is not where you think. According to a Hub Spot study of 200,000 tweets, when you are posting a link in a tweet, place your link a quarter of the way through the tweet to get the most clicks. Not at the end as most people...

Here’s what people want to know when they visit your website, landing page or sales page: 1. What do you want me to do? (should i optin? should i buy something?) 2. How do I get there?
