All Female Roster of Successful Women Entrepreneurs Share Their Online Marketing Secrets
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) August 20, 2008
Women Entrepreneurs and female online marketing experts will be coming together for the first Online Marketing conference designed by women entrepreneurs – for women entrepreneurs. It will bring together the best in the business to educate and share best practices in the fields of online marketing, social marketing, blogs, email marketing and other online marketing strategies. The Online Marketing for Women Entrepreneurs conference (http://www.onlinemarketingforwomenentrepreneurs.com ) will be held at the Millennium Knickerbocker Hotel Chicago Tuesday Sept 9 from 8-1pm.
Women are starting businesses at 3 times the rate of men.For the fabulous momentum that women owned businesses have created, it’s not matched by their online presence. A recent study of women small business owners shows 40% don’t have a website, and that 61% do no online marketing whatsoever. This conference on internet marketing in Chicago will help in overcoming barriers of women entrepreneurs to marketing their businesses online.
“Women entrepreneurs and small business owners are multi-taskers, with a drive to not just succeed in business but share their passion with others. Using the online marketing tools and social marketing platforms available helps spread their reach and share their excitement with new markets and potential customers. One of the key factors that helps make this event so unique and valuable to women entrepreneurs – is that we are providing inspiration and information from experts in online marketing and successful online entrepreneurs – all of whom are women,” said Jackie Cuyvers, creator of the Online Marketing for Women Entrepreneurs event.
This one day internet marketing workshop will feature industry experts, speakers and networking opportunities, along with the opportunity for women small business owners to learn more about online marketing and how to implement new online marketing strategies, and measurable ways to attract highly motivated customers.
Genevieve Thiers and Wendy Piersall Keynote
The featured keynote speakers are Genevieve Thiers and Wendy Piersall. Thiers is the founder and CEO of Sittercity.com, America’s first and largest parent-sitter matchmaking website with over half a million users nationwide. A twin and the oldest of seven children, this babysitter-turned-entrepreneur is also the iVillage Babysitting Expert and has brought her babysitter expertise to the national media, including the Today Show, CBS Early Show, The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, Martha Stewart Living Radio and more and has been named one of Chicago’s 40 Under 40 by Crain’s Chicago.

Public Speaking and Presentation Skills Increase Your Chances for Career Advancement; Announces Dale Mercer in a Tell All Interview

Public Speaking and Presentation Skills Increase Your Chances for Career Advancement; Announces Dale Mercer in a Tell All Interview
Gold Coast, Queensland (PRWEB) September 5, 2008
With the world wide release of the Step Up and Speak public speaking system a few days away, Dale Mercer sat down to a 30 minute tell all interview. Dale candidly talked about the tips and techniques used by Great Public Speakers around the world such as Tony Robbins, Zig Ziglar and Brian Tracy. These include: how to reduce fear and nerves, choosing an effective topic, keeping the audience interested and giving persuasive talks amongst many others tips.
In this interview, Dale begins by telling of his ordinary background filled with manual jobs and failed businesses due to his lack of self confidence. However during this time Dale realised the need to work on and develop his skills as a public speaker and effective communicator in order to gain customers for his business and improve his ability to influence people.
“I was not a natural born speaker” Dale said “but I believe that through following a step-by-step system, anybody can learn to become an effective speaker and presenter; in fact it’s essential to a successful career”. Dale continues to explain “by learning these skills one becomes more likely to be promoted, will earn more money and will be regarded generally more successful in life than someone with poor communication skills.”
Dale’s approach is relaxed and conversational as he sits and discusses different elements of preparing for a speech. He talks at length about the importance of preparation by planting an idea in the mind long before the person sits down in front of a computer screen. By following Dale’s methods, his students get to overcome the all too familiar sensation of writers block when in front of a blank piece of paper or computer screen.
“I like to use N.E.T. time to practice and prepare for my presentations” Dale explained. “N.E.T. time stands for ‘No Extra Time’, meaning I use the time engaged in other activities for practice. When driving my car I will speak my thoughts out loud, while jogging I will mentally rehearse and while showering I will give my presentation.” Because of our busy lifestyle we must learn to multi-task and use whatever available time we have to get comfortable with not only the topic but the presentation itself.
Invaluable insight is gained from this interview with Dale and many more tips can be taken away and implemented not only in the professional speaking environments but also in every-day conversations.
The Step Up and Speak system is not yet released to the public, however a select few from the US, England, Thailand and Australia have reviewed the program to rave reviews.
Tammy Laudau from Renegade Business Coaching who reviewed the system said: “I’ve spoken to small groups; I’ve spoken to auditorium sized venues and these methods definitely increase my presentation skills tremendously. I think it will help anyone to give better presentations whether they’re new to the speaking arena or they are a seasoned veteran like me.”

Mandossian Announces $2.7 Million Dollar Giveaway to Benefit Online Business Owners

xml:lang=”en” lang=”en” xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml”>
Mandossian Announces $ 2.7 Million Dollar Giveaway to Benefit Online Business Owners
Mississauga, ON (PRWEB) September 25, 2008
Inspired by those who’ve helped make SmartStartGiving.com the number one lender to Kiva.org, global internet marketer Alex Mandossian has a bold plan for giving back by helping online entrepreneurs closer to home.
On Friday, October 3 he’ll launch an exclusive new program that makes it easy and affordable for any entrepreneur to get the business management training and ongoing support needed to succeed without the expense and inconvenience of having to leave home. And, as an incentive for signing up, he’ll reward those who are among the first 1,000 people to purchase a seat in the new program with multiple chances to win one of nine professional management consulting support packages valued at $ 300,000.
The $ 2.7 Million Dollar Giveaway is Mandossian’s response to the frequently asked question “how can I get the help I need to move my business forward when I’m not making any money yet?” Winners will receive a full year of professional support from an internationally recognized management consultant, at no additional cost, to help them plan, build and manage their businesses as they implement what they learn in the new business training and mentoring program.
“Getting started on solid ground is as important as having a great product or service to sell” says Mandossian. My students are working hard to create successful businesses and deserve the best support money can buy. I can afford to hire top consultants and coaches; but many of them can’t yet because they’re just starting out and money is tight. I know I wouldn’t be where I am today without them, so making world-class support available through the new program and the multi-million dollar giveaway is a way I can show my appreciation for their loyalty and dedication.”
Mandossian negotiated an unprecedented deal with SmartStart for his followers to be able to purchase a limited number of beta testing seats in the mentoring program at less than 10% of public launch cost. Those who sign up for the program save over $ 11,000 per year in training fees alone. The management consulting support packages included in the giveaway are exclusive to Mandossian’s referrals.
“Entrepreneurs are often overwhelmed by all there is to know about running a business. The multi-million dollar giveaway is an incentive for them to invest in their management education and go after their dreams. I wish I had this kind of help available when I got started; it could have kept me from making some costly mistakes” Mandossian admits.
“Frankly, I don’t know of any other teacher who’s done so much to support a student’s success”, says Vipin Rikhi, a 3-year veteran of the award-winning SmartStart program.
To get on the list and find out how to qualify for the $ 2.7 million giveaway register at SmartStart Giving. The first three winners of the management consulting packages will be drawn live on the October 3 launch call; the next three winners will be selected October 31, and the final three on November 28.
With this announcement Mandossian dares to imagine a brighter future for those who respond to his invitation to get the support needed to make a business dream come true by registering for the call and participating in the giveaway.
About Alex Mandossian: Mandossian is a leading authority on leveraging the marketing power of the internet and co-founder, with Linda M. Lopeke, of SmartStart Giving.

Erie, CO (PRWEB) October 10, 2008
Mark McGinnis has been hard at work developing the material for their half-day event, “Although we have achieved a certain level of success with our online businesses, we are new to the seminar side of things. That’s why we are going to provide a practice venue in October. This will be a free half-day event.

And with the recent prime rate drop to 4.5 %, more people should look to investing in something solid – themselves.”
