Gulp! Just finished a preview call for my new virtual workshop series.

Hi Warriors,

I just saw someone comment on their Facebook status that "Remember: it's not a decision if you haven't taken action."

Good point!

I'm pursuing offline marketing, but instead of focusing on local clients, I'm focusing on a couple of different industries nationwide and using Internet marketing to reach them. Tonight, I completed a free preview call for a teleseminar series I've created.

I've done teleseminars before, but not a lot and not for a while. I didn't have very many people attend, but at least I wasn't talking to myself! :P

It was very nervewracking. Like most Warriors here (unless you're a complete newbie) I KNOW how to help offline businesses generate business online. In fact, I know so much that I have "analysis paralysis." :P

I've carefully mapped out the info and carefully mapped out my preview call. But I have SO much information to share, I had to be careful to touch on everything I'd promised in my preview call and not get into too much detail and drag out the call -- and lose everyone's attention.

I got through it though. Even though it was a teleseminar, it was as nervewracking for me as speaking publicly in person! :P The good news is that I got an immediate return e-mail from one of the people on the call. She's actually not far from West Palm Beach where I live and she wants to meet just to connect and network. She said she really enjoyed the call and I kept her attention.

I was terribly nervous but I must not have flubbed too badly. :P

I really wish I'd had more people on the call, but at least I've gotten started with this new business model (which I've spent weeks and weeks preparing for). So I guess that's something. And I was so glad to get such a positive review of it as soon as it was over.

The bad news is that I didn't record it. (Drat!) I really need someone to help me record it wih Audio Acrobat next time. I probably need a VA. I'm simply too primed and nervous to make sure it's being recorded and remember to push all of the extra buttons to record with Audio Acrobat when I'm hosting a call.

Any volunteers from the WF?

I can always go find a VA somewhere, but I figure that a Warrior would have a much better idea of what I'm doing, know what to do and therefore be much more helpful.

But I got started and that's good. I've started over from scratch with building my list and while it's very tiny right now, it's a start. Time to get back to list-building!

Thanks Steve!

You're right about starting. I've more or less abandoned my old list as I wasn't very consistent with the e-zines and e-mails -- or anything else. I've finally settled on a business model (offline marketing) that I like and am starting from scratch again. It's a little disheartening to have such a tiny list again, but as others have said, it's not the size of your list but the strength of your relationship with them.

For such a tiny list, I got such positive reviews and so I'm starting out with a good relationship.

I just need to keep the ball rolling and not drop it like I did before.

BTW, if anyone wants to take me up on my need for some virtual assistance with recording my calls, it's a PAID gig. I'm not asking for free help. So if you need a little cash and know how to record calls with Audio Acrobat, please contact me.

Now, back to listbuilding!

Michelle...

Instead of paying someone to remember to hit the record
button why not just make a note on your call outline...

Step 1: Welcome people to the call
Step 2: HIT RECORD BUTTON

Really... it just needs to be worked into the routine.

Way to go, congratulations, and hope for the best. You can get a VA here in this thread or in the WSO section.

You're right: it DOES need to be worked into my routine.

However, recording with Audio Acrobat is a little more complicated than just hitting a RECORD button. You have to dial into a separate number and then dial in a pin # (if I remember correctly) to record.

I've done it before, but was just wanting some help to take one more thing off my plate: mainly to make sure I didn't forget to do it and to make sure it was done correctly.

Ah well... Guess I'll do it myself!
