A WordPress site allows you to update your site whenever inspiration strikes without knowing HTML or calling a designer (even if it is me, LOL).<br /><br /> You can incorporate an opt-in box for email marketing and links to your shopping cart, and I will create fully custom graphics including a branded header, you can include any multimedia you have like videos, audio courses or pdfs. And your WordPress site can come with or without a blog, have it your way.<br /><br /><br />Squeeze Page | Landing Page | Sales Page<br /><br />If you plan to do any internet marketing, like building a list or selling products your going to need a Squeeze page, Landing page or Sales letter.<br /><br />A squeeze page is the perfect solution for generating leads and building a list of warm prospects to market to. You can incorporate your squeeze page into your current website or use it as a stand alone site. <br /><br />**Tip: Don’t have the money to get a full website built? Just starting your business and not really sure where to begin? Have a domain name that’s just kinda taking up online real estate? Get a squeeze page… You can begin to build a list of prospects, go ahead and put your yourcompany.com on your business cards and Facebook page.<br /><br />Use your landing page to give prospects more information after clicking on an ad or following a link. If you use social media to market your business you can direct people you meet to your landing page to find out more about you and your business without seeming so promotional.<br /><br /><br /><br />Blog<br /><br />Blogs are the best way to get search engines to notice you and can be added to an existing website or used as a standalone site. Blogs are also an excellent way to share information and stay in touch with prospects and clients. <br /><br /><br />Fully Persuaded that Melodye Hunter is person you want to know? <br /><br />Join usTuesday at www.brandingsuperstaruniversity.com</p>Pam Perry, PR Coachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15612573591768823922noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6413979071122559686.post-16842280720587147212013-01-06T21:49:00.001-08:002013-01-06T21:51:47.104-08:00Self Publishing Video<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

HOUSTON - You might call it old school
parenting ... In a new age. Moms and Dads taking discipline public...
striking in the same place their kids are breaking the rules.<br />
"I was stunned because she's a very smart and intelligent young lady."<br />
Former
FOX 26 News reporter and national best selling author Resound Tate
Billingsley says she was shocked to discover an Instagram photo that
showed her 12-year-old daughter holding a bottle of alcohol.<br />
"We
had already talked about it, but I just assumed that she would know
better in general. The fact that she didn't see anything wrong with it
because she was not drinking, that's all she kept saying 'but I wasn't
drinking it. I was just taking a picture,' and the fact that she didn't
see anything wrong with it spoke volumes for me."<br />
Billingsley thought about taking her daughter's phone away. Instead, she got creative.<br />
"When
she woke up I promptly had her do a sign and the sign said basically,
she wasn't ready for social media and she saw it and burst out crying."<br />
Billingsley put this picture on her daughter's instagram profile and then on her own facebook page.<br />
Within hours, the picture had been shared more than 10,000 times.<br />
"I never, ever expected it to go viral."<br />
And there was reaction from both sides.<br />
"The
majority of it has actually been positive. There were some however who
told me I was scarring my child for life, who said they couldn't believe
I was doing the public humiliation."<br />
Some experts will tell you-- humiliation will have long-lasting negative effects on children.<br />
But in Billingsley's home all three kids know that, in mom's words: "you will get shown out... Where you show out."<br />
Billingsley says her daughter now understands why her mom did what she did.<br />

<h2>
<br />
What you can do in 24-Hours to Launch</h2>
<ul>

<li>Create a <a href="http://pinterest.com/pamperrypr/" title="pinterest">Pinterest</a></li>
</ul>
<b>*Now these strategies will help you get buzz but it really
takes a lot more planning and positioning in the marketplace to make an
impact. <span style="color: red;">Try not to be “last minute,” think it through for real:</span></b><br />
<ul>
<li>Take an assessment of your unique situation, target audience, core message, goals and opportunities</li>
<li>Create a game plan with timelines and tasks at least 60 to 90 days out</li>
</ul>
<b>This initial planning will guide the whole <a href="http://www.launchlikeasuperstar.com/#">promotion process of the launch </a>which
includes defining your unique market positioning, personal narrative
assets, core values, branded process, markets and product mix.</b><br />

<br />
There is no global supplier diversity “cookie cutter-method” for implementation. It is a mistake for companies to believe they can be successful by simply adopting a “copy exactly” approach and transporting the companies’ U.S. supplier diversity tools, processes, and policies into non-U.S. locations. While some process and policy consistency is required, supplier diversity programs must be adapted to reflect the cultural and societal norms of the geographies in which they are implemented.<br />
<br />
Despite these regional differences in implementation, the business case for global supplier diversity is consistent. I frequently discuss this business case in the context of what I refer to as “the three C’s” of supplier diversity:<br />
<br />
<b>Compliance</b><br />
<br />
In the United States, many companies’ supplier diversity programs are built around a compliance core. These programs are designed to help ensure that the company meets compliance requirements mandated by its public-sector customers. The U.S. federal government requires that any company that provides goods and services to it, above a certain mandated minimum level, meets aggressive goals of subcontracting spend with a list of enumerated categories of underrepresented small businesses. These categories include ethnic-minority-owned, woman-owned, and veteran-owned businesses.<br />
<br />
<br />
These compliance requirements have become pervasive over the past 50 years as many states, municipalities, school districts, and other public sector entities have developed supplier diversity mandates that mirror or closely reflect the U.S. federal requirements. Even companies that don’t source directly to the public sector may be required to adhere to these types of requirements, if they source to other private sector companies which themselves are public sector suppliers and are required to “flow down” requirements.<br />
<br />
With limited exceptions, outside of the United States there are no similar legislative mandates requiring that companies subcontract with diverse businesses. While no other countries have identical mandates to the United States for minority business inclusion, two countries have enacted their own legislative framework to ensure inclusion of minorities or disadvantaged people. First, there is the case of South Africa and their Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BEE) legislation. Second, more recently, is Australia, which has implemented requirements for including indigenous aboriginal-owned businesses in certain contracts. In addition, while visible minorities in Canada are not included in any government scheme for protected status, they do have a government set aside for Aboriginals based on self-certification. However, absent extensive compelling mandates, supplier diversity performance has been slow to expand outside of the United States.<br />
<br />
Those companies that have chosen to expand their global supplier diversity programs outside of the United States for compliance reasons, have done so with an aim to:<br />
<br />
Address existing or developing supplier diversity mandates that currently exist in regions where those companies do business outside of the United States (for example, to meet the requirements of Australia’s Indigenous Opportunities Program (IOP) or the South African Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment code requirements); or<br />
Remain “ahead of the legislative curve” by designing and implementing robust supplier diversity procurement policies ahead of government mandates in regions that appear to be evaluating the adoption of such mandates.<br />
<div><br />
<b>Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)</b><br />
<br />
These policies are seen to function as built-in, self-regulating mechanisms whereby businesses monitor and ensure active compliance with the spirit of the law, ethical standards, and international norms. Many companies position their supplier diversity programs as supporting CSR pillars, by:<br />
<br />
Enhancing the company image and brand by demonstrating commitment to high ethical standard of inclusion<br />
Working to ensure that the diversity of the company’s supplier base reflects that of its employee base and customer mix<br />
Supporting the CSR requirements of its customer in the marketplace.<br />
These CSR drivers are not at all unique to U.S. supplier diversity programs. It can truly be said that, with these drivers in mind, …if ensuring an inclusive supply chain is ‘the right thing to do’ in the United States, it is ‘the right thing to do’ everywhere that the Company does business …<br />
<br />
<b>Competitive Advantage</b><br />
<br />
Among the most successful of U.S.-based supplier diversity programs are those hosted by companies that position the programs as a business imperative, a revenue enabler, a competitive advantage. Hewlett-Packard, for example, estimates in it’s Global Citizenship Report that in 2010 more than $10 billion -worth of business required the company to demonstrate its efforts in supplier diversity.<br />
<br />
By working to meet contractual- and compliance-driven diversity subcontracting requirements of its customers, a company with a business-to-business (B2B) sales model can leverage its supplier diversity performance to win in the marketplace. Similarly, a company with a business-to-consumer (B2C) business model can weave its supplier diversity investments in diverse communities into its marketing and advertising and help it to create a competitive advantage across a diverse consumer base.<br />
<br />
Collectively, these elements combine to form the business case—a set of compelling drivers for global supplier diversity expansion. Note that not every company will find each of the three important to the same degree, if at all.<br />
