NEW SESSION TOPIC JUST ANNOUNCED Here

Wouldn't it be great if you could attend a single, targeted, focused event that covers the exact topic you need right now in your business?  An event that doesn't pussy foot around, gets right into the nuts and bolts and lifts the lid on useful, easy to implement strategies?  An event where you know if you turn up on time, the event will be ON TIME TOO and you can sit and absorb the content for the topic you want to hear?

That's why I've introduced
Savvy Snapshot Events - find out more here.

For 60 minutes, I'll share with you the why, the where and, most importantly, the how.  I'll show you what I do, why I do it and how you can do it too.  You'll be joining me for a solid 60 minutes of content.

What's more, I'm making it really simple - paint by numbers - so that you know you'll walk away from your Savvy Snapshot Event confident in the knowledge you have found the next piece in the puzzle for your business. That you know you'll be able to implement the strategies and skills that I've shared with you.

Feature Article

Blogs - Your Power List Building Tool

Blog is short for weblog.  A Blog is another type of website providing a more personal approach. It can serve as a person’s diary which is shared publicly on the internet. More than 133 million blogs are already online as of 2008, according to Technorati with 900,000 new blog posts published every day. Around 77 percent of Internet users read blogs according to Universal McCann.

Whether you use it for personal or business purposes, a blog is an effective way to tap into a wider audience.  As with all websites on the internet, a blog has the ability to spread your message to the various parts of the world, literally within minutes.  In fact, a blog can be indexed by search engines, such as Google, in as little as 10 minutes or less.

Blogs allow people to easily write any post they wish to share with others.  Each post, or entry, is usually shorter when compared to regular online articles and usually written in a light or humourous manner. But while anybody can create and post to blogs and write whatever is on their mind, being ethical is still the number one rule of thumb. Rude language or inappropriate content has no place on the internet.

If you have decided to start a blog for your business, first all, make a specific plan.  There are several factors that you need to consider. These include your blog platform, the template, a web designer, domain name and your hosting company.

Platform – Currently, there are numerous blog platforms available. Do a little research about them to find out which one suits your needs. There are some sites that offer bundled services that already include a licensed platform, domain name and hosting service for your blog.

Web designer – If you’re still in the process of learning the technical side of creating blogs, it would be a good idea to initially get a web designer who can help you out. Be sure to clearly communicate all your needs to ensure your web designer can deliver the blog that you specifically want.

Template – There are many great looking templates designed by professionals which you can use free of charge.  For a more customised template, there's usually a fee involved.  Choose a simple template with a color theme that matches your company branding and that's pleasing to the eyes. The template will be the main background for your posts so choose it carefully.

Domain name – This will be the name of your blog included as your web address or URL.  For example, you can use your existing website url and add the word blog at the end (www.savvywebwomen.com/blog) or create a dedicated domain name (www.wendymoore.net).  You can base the name of your blog around your name, your business name or even the keywords for your business niche.  Make it as catchy and short as possible for easy recall.  

Hosting company – This is the company that will host your blog so it appears live online. Sometimes, a hosting firm offers other services so shop around first before picking one that will give you real value for your money. However, there are also sites where you can easily publish your blog for f.ree such as Blogspot.com and WordPress.com.

Now that you know the basic things for creating a blog, you can start working on it. But first, prepare some short posts to introduce yourself and your blog when you launch it online. Make it short but engaging, something that will spark the interest of your readers.

Remember that blogs need to have quality content to drive traffic and be updated regularly.   If you don't have time to post regular blog updates, contact us to discuss how we can help you to keep your blog updated by using our Blog Posting Service.

So once you’ve put your blog online, update it regularly such as twice a week or once every week to provide fresh information to your readers.   Train your audience to expect something new each time they visit your blog, and they will keep coming back.

Five Minutes with...

Josie KearseyJosie Kearsey of Klass Events

Question 1             
What has been your biggest challenge in business and how did you overcome it?

The biggest challenge was starting a new company and getting the name and brand into the market place. I used my networking and lead generation skills to get the business out there and found one of the best and most effective ways was to do joint projects with other businesses eg: a training company would put on an event and I would coordinate and facilitate the event management component.

Question 2
If you had to start your business again from scratch, what would you do differently?

Make a 48 hour clock … The only thing I would do differently would be to market more aggressively rather than rely on word of mouth or referrals.

Question 3
Who do you admire and why?

I admire my mum she’s my super hero, at the age of 17 she had the guts, strength and determination to leave her family and her home, traverse the ocean and come to a strange land where she didn’t understand the language or the culture, to start a new life with my dad...I’m glad she passed those qualities on to me.

Question 4
It takes a lot of determination and dedication to succeed in business. What keeps you motivated?

I love seeing things evolve from just an idea into a reality…In my industry it’s all about the planning and the detail and finally the delivery of the finished product... for me it’s the satisfaction of a job well done that keeps me going in for more.

Question 5
What are your 3 biggest success tips? 

  1. Work to an achievable plan and break it up into steps so that you realize your business goals.
  2. Be clear about what you want to achieve for yourself and your business and get right in there to accomplish it. Obstacles are just speed humps to your success.
  3. Possess a “whatever it takes” attitude… you will win peoples trust and trust is vital especially in the industry I am in.

Tell us about Josie...

I love working with people and have over the past 20 years created events that transcend the ordinary, enliven the senses and fulfill even the unexpected desires and needs of my clients. My greatest reward is when I can help my clients to make a memory or make a statement and create an “experience” of a lifetime.

Klass Events delivers a complete event management service for corporate, social and not for profit events with uncompromising attention to detail providing superior service to turn your event, conference or seminar into a class event.
