You — The Next Larry King?

It’s easier today than ever before.

When I was a kid, we had three local TV stations. It was a big deal when a PBS station opened up, giving us another viewing option. My dad put a huge antenna with a rotator and signal reception booster on the roof, so we could pick up six more stations from Kansas City, about 60 miles from Topeka.

Two of those six Kansas City stations were independents. They played re-runs and old movies, like cable super stations do today. The other four were affiliated with the same “big three” networks and PBS. They usually played the same shows we got on the local stations during regular programming hours – with a fuzzier picture.

It’s All About You — Part 3

Back in May, I provided you parts one and two of The Fundamental You, a video training I created a couple of years ago. At the time, I promised I’d post parts three and four “in the next week or so.”

It turns out “or so” won – and it was six months.

I’ll bet you thought I forgot. I did, but that doesn’t make it right to call your Uncle Alan on it — so show some respect, will ya?

Seriously – I apologize for the delay. Here’s part 3 of The Fundamental You – the complete training in making yourself memorable the easy way, by accenting the real you. I originally charged $297 for this training when it was conducted . . . → Read More: It’s All About You — Part 3

Last week, I presented you Part One of my truly unique FUNdamental You training. This is four video sessions designed to help you build a solid persona or brand that can take your business into the stratosphere. They were originally released in 2008 as a $197 program and the information is just as valuable today as it was then.

Possibly more so, when you add the new power of social networking to the mix today.

It’s actually fun when you do it by focusing on you – the real you – the FUNdamental You.

Here’s Part Two of the four-video series: //

It’s All About You…

Fundamental You small

by Uncle Alan

Yesterday I told you about the importance of considering social networking impact when you name your business. It’s almost important enough to warrant re-naming your business, if you’re not too entrenched.

This brought forth a lot of requests for more details about the branding process itself – an important part of naming your business. This, also, should be done with an eye toward the impact your brand will have on the socially connected prospects and customers you are now already seeing daily and will lose if you don’t get in front of them in a memorable way.

So – it’s time to pull out my Fundamental You training!

Easy Audio Content

Regular, consistent posting of quality information people are really looking for makes the difference between a successful, vibrant, growing online publication and someone’s personal project they might or might not get to when they have the time. The results you see are always based upon the effort put in.

But it can still be a lot more work than it should be, if you go about it the wrong way.

One fast way to generate new content for your blog is to post audio interviews.

In this simple process, you just need to find an expert in whatever subject matter your visitors are interested in. Invite them to get on the phone with you for a short interview and record it, then make the recording . . . → Read More: Easy Audio Content
