March Update

Hi

This week is a rare week where we have no interviews lined up. Tele-seminars are theoretically scheduled every 2 weeks but demand is so high we have not had a free week for ages. So relax, take some time to put your ideas and action plans down on paper and read on for gifts and ideas. Today I share a gift for Aussie members, advice on auto-responders and a few ideas on how we can help you get connected. Read on to find out about:

• A VIP Ticket and Invitation To Dinner
• In the forum: Which Auto-responder program do you use?
• We help you get known and get connected

Cheers

Janet

On March 13th for 4 days I will be attending The World Internet Summit in Sydney and I would love to invite you to be one of my VIP guests. I have attended the WIS every year since it started and I can honestly say that the reason I am creating my own success on the internet is because of the contacts I made at these events. No exaggeration.

Tickets to this event are normally $997. Because of my friendship with Brett McFall, the co-founder of WIS, I have the opportunity to offer 45 members free tickets as my VIP guests. You can claim your tickets here. Please only take up this offer if you intend to use the tickets as they will go quickly. Gold members receive this email 12 hours early to thank you for your support. Of course I look forward to catching up with all members who are lucky enough to be there.

Let's get together for dinner

On Friday night (14th) Brett tells me the last speaker finishes at 7.30pm. That leaves us time to play so let's get together for a meal and a drink. A Wonderful Web Women bash! If you are going to be there, send me an email to let me know. Once I have numbers I'll book us a table at a restaurant close to the venue - something casual and economical so we can relax and catch up.

We already have between 20 and 30 people who have expressed an interest so it should be fun. Tracy Repchuck and her family will join us. I'll be there with my husband Douglas and I hope you can join us too.

  I received this question this week from a member and thought I'd share it with you here. It is a good question that many people need an answer to. You can see my response here:

Hi there Janet,

This is Yvette - one of your free members, and thank you for your generous spirit and the contribution you are making to women in business.

I am very close to launching a new site and I have been looking at various email/newsletter management programs and deciding whether to use a standalone software for this, or the one that has been designed for use with my open source CMS. Can you please tell me which program you are using to:
1. send emails
2. send newsletters

and...are you happy with it or do you have any tips or traps in selecting the right program?
By the way, Joomla is being used to build my site and the add-on email/newsletter manager software for this is Acajoom.

Many thanks in anticipation of your advice.

Kind Regards
Yvette ***

If you are a GOLD member, here are 2 ways we can help you get connected - at no cost.

Gold Member Profiles

You can now list your profile, with your photo, a blurb about you and your business and up to 5 links to your web sites. Each profile has a unique URL which means (if you want to) you can fill in lots of keywords for your niche in the field provided and your profile page will rank high in the search engines. How often do you get a chance to put your profile with out-going links on such a high traffic web site?

To add your profile, log into the gold members area and click on "Gold Member Profiles". Follow the instructions. Just ignore all the meta tag fields if you don't know what to do with them, or just add in your name and niche keywords in each field.

Join a Peer Mastermind Group

Our first peer mastermind group is off to a great start and we are ready to start the next one. If you would like to find a group of like-minded people to meet with on the phone every 2 weeks to keep you focused and accountable, then let us help you.

Simply go to the forum at http://www.wonderfulwebforum.com. Sign up and then tell us a bit about yourself in the Masterminds section of the forum.
