Lynn Terry – Internet Marketer

Today I want to share a great opportunity to take your business to the next level by learning all things online to take your offline business to the next level. Lynn Terry has opened up her Elite membership – the forum that goes on behind closed doors – at the regular forum for SSWT – Self Starters Weekly Tips.

As a Health Coaching Practitioner I know what it is to be technically challenged in making your web presence felt.  Yet Web 2.0 has introduced an opportunity to make a splash and have more than a stagnant page that customers find through your paper marketing, but may never click-through to book.

Instead we can begin to have an open dialogue with prospective and existing clients and it may be the deciding factor that enables a new client to make a better informed decision when they see how you (their prospective health worker) present yourself online, as opposed to a competitor who simply has a ‘going nowhere’ style website.  And as such there is now a greater opportunity to connect.

I’ve been an Elite member since last autumn and don’t really think I would still be online but for Lynn’s forum with the brilliant help that she and other supportive members provide there … its such a great resource of wonderful people so willing to share their experiences, information and tips – and of course its a two-way street.  My main contribution has usually been that of encouragement and cheering on from the sidelines.

As someone who has tried to crack the code … I’ve realized there is so much to learn … Not so challenging if you are techie minded … But for a technophobe such as I the forum is usually my first ‘port of call’, and don’t be afraid to ask daft questions, because I’ve probably been there before you!

As an offshoot to the Elite Membership, Traci Knoppe (one of the leading lights in the group with around 10-yrs experience in web design and blogging – I mentioned her on another post) set up a WordPress Skype group – where all questions (from Elite members) can be shot in there and Traci generally answers in no time, she’s always willing to help and has been a wonderful support to me.

In the private forum, Lynn provides members access to some great freebies that can aid your online progress and she gives her group the heads-up on the latest in online/internet marketing … You will also find a massive resource of services that people offer often at reduced rates to fellow members that will allow a fast-track to where you want to be …

For me the best thing of all is the integrity of Lynn’s approach and the people that she Joint Ventures with, which is the measure of her. She’s not stand-offish at all, as around 2-dozen Elite members who recently attended the NAMS event in Atlanta, Georgia (I so wanted to be there and more on that next time) will happily testify and I’ve seen photographic evidence …

What makes Lynn Terry different from the rest?

She genuinely likes people and wants to help them similarly obtain the dream lifestyle that she lives … working a few-ish hours per week in a niche that she absolutely loves.  Simple as …

And with that I can highly recommend Lynn Terry’s ELITE membership … Check it out here …

A One-Stop Shop

I want to tell you about Cagora because its coming and its going to be big … and because its different and promises to be a ‘One Stop Shop’ or Expo Market where you can find everything you need online with one ‘password’ and ‘username’,  as well as its great philosophy in what are going to be next phase of how business is transacted with more community responsibility and business accountability.  It hcagora,community marketing,a one stop shop,shopping,education,training,expo marketas amazing potential to affect how we use the Internet in the future and therefore affects everybody.  It has a win:win philosophy and has been built ‘by the people for the people’.

The Mix

Cagora stands for C=Community and AGORA was the name of the Ancient Greeks Market Place where people held Socialized, held Meetings, developed Ideas and Education, and transacted Business, and this basically describes what Cagora is about.  And its very relevant to us as Therapists and Coaches because this the way responsible communities would go about their daily lives, being accountable and caring equally for themselves and others.

An Online Expo Market Place

Good question … The easiest way to describe it is as an Online Expo Market Place/Community Centre where everyone hangs out … And here’s some of what it contains:

• Business – trading in your niche market
• Education – want to run an educational program then you can have a space with visual / speaking and chatting facilities
• Encyclopedia – check out any information
• Forum – get together and discuss the latest ‘hot topic’
• Market Place – find any service you currently use online
• Meeting Rooms – call a meeting to discuss your next business strategy
• Seminars – hold seminars to reach your wider audience
• Shopping – everything under one roof
• Social – get together and hang out with family and friends locally, nationally and internationally
• Training – run a training course and get your colleagues up-to-date with the latest ‘in-house’ information
• Videos – upload your latest business promo’s or your wackiest moments
• Workshops – facilitate practical ‘hands-on’ workshops where participants can engage and follow along in ‘real’ time

To name but a few … It has everything we currently use and more and has been almost a decade in its creation.  Where we currently visit Facebook, MySpace, eBay, Amazon, YouTube and other familiar friends, it will all be accessible in closer proximity like a ‘traditional’ market, with just one username and password to gain access …  So you can more easily bump into friends, family, business colleagues and workmates.

It’s simple, just log on and thats it … whatever you want to check out online will be viewable right there under the Cagora Umbrella …

Web 2.0 – Social Networking

Yes its very exciting and not only to Online Businesses, because Web 2.0 is being increasingly recognised as a key marketing feature for ALL business’ going forwards.  There is a slow realisation by many so-called ‘offline’ business’  who are recognising a market potential through customer connection available on the net.

What Web 2.0 does is enable a Business to talk to potential and ongoing Customers, and more importantly it allows Customers to have a look at a Business before they stop to purchase and decide on the ‘cut of their jib’.   This has wonderful potential for companies to become more market accountable.

The Community of Cagora

Cagora’s main thrust is COMMUNITY both off and online. They are about giving back/paying it forwards to the Community Partners and Affiliates, and includes a dedicated percentage towards community nominated projects. I don’t know about you but I think its exciting and has a great future  …

If you would like any more information then please contact me … or check out the affiliate program, which is offering a two-tier benefit until the end of the month.  Just to be clear this is NOT mlm … and if affiliate programs are not for you, then there are plenty of other opportunities to get involved with Cagora in other ways.  You may want to become a Community Partner and there is more information here …  Or if you prefer then please contact me.
