Understanding YouTube and Participatory Media
Posted on August 9, 2008
YouTube gets thousands of videos everyday and while many are awful.. we are drawn to watch them.
What draws people to the social media? What makes an average person become a producer?
And, how do you get over the odd feeling of talking to a camera alone to share your thoughts, promote your book and connect with the community?
Maybe you don’t need to. You are great just the way you are.
a thought provoking, entertaining and enlightening video.

Why Should Anyone Read Your Book? Book Marketing With a Purpose
Posted on August 1, 2008
Most authors tell me they wrote their book “becaucse people need this information”
They miss one important point.
Most of us do not wake up in the morning, worry about a problem and think “maybe I’l read a book”
Ephren Taylor gets it
I’ve been working with Ephren over the past few months. His book Creating Success from the Inside Out is a best seller and he’s received a lot of media coverage, but this is not the objective for Ephren
Ephren stated a company at 12, became a millionaire at 16 and retried as a multi millionare at 19, so he’s not trying to ‘make it rich’ now. I find that most successful authors, whether you have money or not, are writing books as part of a broader mission.
It took about 7 minutes talking to Ephren to discover how his mission will change lives, improve community and make a high rate of return for investors (imagine, doing good work and making a profit.. WOW).
I was so impressed with Ephren, that I insistent he share his story with authors and entrepreneurs on a webinar.
Join us Wednesday August 6th (click here for details). Ephren will give you a free copy of his best selling book, share his story and his passion and tell you how you can get invovled.
The is nothing for sale on this call. Ephren does not have a success course, more books and tapes, or seminar for you to attend.
You may want to follow what Ephren suggests, or you may just learn about some incredably powerful book marketing. Either way, I invite you to take a look at Ephren Taylor and take the free book (It’s a good read)

New Book Announcement: “Blitz the Ladder: A Team-Based Approach to Getting Ahead in Business” by Todd Rhoad.
Posted on July 28, 2008
Blitz the Ladder: A Team-Based Approach to Getting Ahead in Business by Todd Rhoad.
Improving your career involves developing your own team of supporters who focus on managing the team’s perception to managers and the organization. It’s a simple active technique that doesn’t require one to learn complicated concepts or figure out how to apply the typical academic advice to their situation.
The book is presented from the viewpoint that the reader has hit the proverbial glass ceiling, rendering their career mobility totally stagnant or wandering aimlessly. It is designed to put the “mobile” back into mobility without the need to totally reinvent yourself to overcome your flaws. The book starts out painting a rather stark portrait of the average organization and the resources within it which employees consider critical in developing their careers. While most books seek to motivate more than educate, Rhoad explains how in most companies these resources aren’t very useful and are quite often misguided. He analyzes the employee, immediate manager, human resources, and informal networks in terms of both their pro’s and con’s.
Brian Tracy, Bestselling Author and International Expert on Entrepreneurship and Selling says “With this book, you can save yourself months and even years in moving upward and onward in your job and your career.”
In spite of the normal complications in moving up in a company, the book provides a new method, termed the “Blitz,” which is designed to easily overcome many of the barriers to upward mobility. This group-based technique is compared to the common individual method of career progression. Rhoad guides the reader in determining the team size, selecting team members, developing career strategy, avoiding plateauing and maintaining sufficient team and individual motivation.
