Blog Posting Secrets Video

admin — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 00:22:52 +0000

This week I’ve helped many people from Virtual Real Estate BarCamp (#VREBC) that took advantage of my offer for a free blog critique. I’ve seen some great looking blogs, but many of the people that asked for my help did not have a strong blogging strategy and technique that would help them get good search engine results and strong backlinks.

That’s why I made this video called Blog Posting Secrets.

Watch over my shoulder, as I show you step by step how I wrote today’s blog post “Free Webinar – CRM Software: Your Constant Contact Cash Machine” . (Sorry, I was a little tongue tied today… so I sound a bit funny. But the content of this video more than makes up for it!)

Let’s take this post to the next level… Leave your comments about how you write your blog posts.

Over 1900 people attended Virtual Real Estate BarCamp today where I gave this presention, “The Best Free (and Nearly Free) Online Tools for Your Business”.

The response was unbelievable! I had hundreds of follow up requests for a copy of this presentation plus access to my $1,000,000 Rolodex of my favorite online marketing tools and free software sites.

In case you missed it the first time… you will definitely want to watch and learn where to find the best web sites and programs.

When you’re all done, make sure to download access the my list of the best marketing resources.

Would you do me one small favor in return, because I know a lot of people would like to see this? Please share my video by writing about it on your blog, tweeting about it, posting it on facebook, or sending an email with a link to your friends.

The Best Freeware Mindmap Download and Commerical Programs

Free Trial of My Favorite Mind Mapping Software

If you’ve never mind mapped, you have to start now. There is no better way to juice your creativity, organize your thoughts or present your ideas. There are many mindmap programs available for purchase, or, you can also try Freemind, the freeware mindmap download.

Mindmapping is a way to diagram, or draw out your ideas, by linking them to a central subject. I was introduced to mindmapping by one of my mentors, the late, great Jeffrey Mayer. Now I use it for everything. I even take meeting notes on paper using mind map techniques.

Some of the reasons mind mapping is so powerful are:

Boost your creativity; perfect for brainstorming
Visual diagrams improve recall of important topics
Easy to show relationships of ideas

There are oodles of mind mapping programs available, both in desktop and online versions. I personally use Mind Map, mainly because Jeffrey turned me on to it several years ago. It is the most robust of the lot, but it also is one of the more expensive ones. If you want the best and can afford it, give it a free 30 day trial.
