Plug-ins & Widgets Critical to Promoting Your Blog Content

Feeling Overwhelmed?

Let’s use K.I.S.S. (that’s Keep It Simple Stuff).

Bottom Line? Plug-ins and Wordpress Widgets are the FUEL & DELIVERY SYSTEM for promoting your blog CONTENT.

It’s not  either/or…it is both/and.

Yes, you need

1. Good CONTENT (remember…it’s progress, not perfection!), and
2. FUEL (plug-ins) that fires up a Great DELIVERY SYSTEM (wordpress widgets)Can you imagine trying to “eat” without food and without a delivery system to get it to your mouth? In general, there are lots of foods (plug-ins) out there to fuel your body, but without a delivery system  such as your hands, knife, fork, spoon, etc. ((widgets) you will not experience the exquisite art of eating (having people experience your content)!  Get my drift?

The point here is that you need a way of Feeding your CONTENT  from your blog to PEOPLE  (yes, they are humans…not just “internet traffic”…how cold!) so that PEOPLE on social networks and other blogs receive the VALUE from your words of wisdom, service, product, or business opportunity (whether traditional, mlm, direct sales, network marketing…offline or online).

You literally want to send out your content to people across the diverse array of networks via facebook, twitter, hubs, digg and others…and attract people back to your blog.  When that happens and you have the honor and privilege of getting to know those individuals better (and perhaps the opportunity to be of value and service to them in some way), you will have experienced an aspect of attraction marketing.  Thank you Mike Dillard!  (He is, after all, the Godfather of Attraction Marketing).

What value is there in having  GREAT  CONTENT if nobody reads it because they aren’t aware that it exists?  Besides, you can always go back and edit your post, right?  Nothing is forever and cast in stone (even stone)!

And…there’s always that DELETE button!   Just have some fun and dare to put the best CONTENT you have to share in the moment out there.

So, here’s the simple step-by-step idea:

LYF with Michael Han will never be the same!

Ok…so LYF  is pronounced LIFE.  That is why I say that Life with LYF will never be the same with Michael Han at the helm!

To read what Michael Han has accomplished with his billion dollar company, Envion, turning plastics into fuel (for one thing), it’s not surprising at all to discover that he is now embarking on the journey of his LYF with his foray into developing a network marketing company that he says will create “life” (how about LYF) beyond his existence on this earth!

Mike Dillard, the Godfather of Attraction Marketing & Magnetic Sponsoring Guru, is alive and well and speaking at my webinar, but we lost a great Attraction Marketer in Millard Fuller, founder of Habitat for Humanity

What do Mike Dillard and Millard Fuller have in common?  Both have exhibited the essence of true, authentic Attraction Marketing…You give value to people, and in turn, you inspire them, and then they follow you because they trust and believe in you.  Mike is a master of magnetic sponsoring, yet Millard was doing it before Mike was born. Our world is better because of both have offered of themselves, for both have changed their perspective “markets.” 

If the opportunity to hear Mike Dillard speak doesn’t get you excited, nothing will! Likewise, if hearing Tony Campolo as the principal speaker at Millard Fuller’s Life Celebration Party doesn’t get you excited, nothing will.

Check in for the Interview withThe Biggest Name In the MLM Industry, The Pioneer of Attraction Marketing, The Guy Who Revolutionized The MLM Industry Forever, Mr. MIKE DILLARD!!! If you are serious about your business, don’t miss this! Go to MagneticMarketingDiva and sign up for this dynamic, jamming webinar that you don’t want to miss!  How often do you get to personally hear Mike Dillard without going to a big week-end seminar.  And, though his emails are great, there’s NOTHING like hearing him live in a webinar!

To discover how you can hear Tony Campolo speak about the life of Millard Fuller, founder with his wife, Linda, of Habitat for Humanity, keep reading this blog…you will learn how you can.

Don’t choose one or the other…Mike speaking about ATTRACTION MARKETING or Tony speaking about the ATTRACTION MARKETER, Millard Fuller.  Do both.  You won’t regret either!

Now, here’s a truth you can take to the bank.  You CANNOT duplicate MIKE DILLARD or MILLARD FULLER!  Mike is uniquely MIKE…Millard was uniquely MILLARD.  And you know what you have in common with them? You are Uniquely YOU!  It would be pretty fricking boring if we were all alike!  But…here’s what you can do.  You can duplicate SYSTEMS…and we’ve got a SYSTEM that can help you with Mike’s ATTRACTION MARKETING!  Mike’s ATTRACTION MARKETING & our system will propel you to success in your business. It’s the way in which you approach marketing, rather than marketing in and of itself.  And thank goodness Habitat Humanity continues to exist because of a SYSTEM and will not disappear with the death of Millard.  Do you get the connection? 

Here’s an example…Let’s say that you are going to a party and you don’t know anyone.  If you go in and just begin meeting people and asking them questions about themselves, at the end of the night, they will go up to the hostess and say that you were the most engaging guest they chatted with all night!  On the other hand,  if you walk through the door, jump up on the food table and say, “Ok, folks…put down your wine and plate.  I want you to pay attention.  I have a GREAT Product and  a GREAT Opportunity for you.” Well, this is what will happen.  Somebody will scream, “Get the hook,” and you will be dragged off your pedastal (the food table) and tossed out the door, without ever having met anyone!  What a missed opportunity, eh?  Ok, I am so close to the border here in the Pacific NW, and I LOVE my Canadian brothers and sisters, I have to throw in an “eh?”  They are so much better with words.  Do you know what the correlating “words” for “eh” is in the United States.  Well, let me tell you by sharing a story.  My friend, Laura, who lives in Vancouver and has been a friend since we met in Arizona when I was living in Kentucky, one day said, “XXXXXXXX, don’t you know it?”  She was visiting me (or I was visiting her…don’t remember which now), but I looked at her and said,”Don’t you know it?”  She said, “Yes, that term you say at the end of the sentence.” Well, I doubled over in laughter.  I said, “You must be talking about when I say, ‘XXXXXXXX, you know what I mean?’ “  We both go so tickled. Every time I think of that story, I am filled with joy for the spontaneous exchange.  So, now that I live in the Pacific NW in  Blaine, WA barely twenty minutes from where she lives in White Rock, we do something like this to cause us to fold into giggles.  “Laura, I believe that social media connections and being on Twitter and Facebook is the key to your friend’s food social networking site Food Connect, don’t you know it…you know what I mean…eh?”  And then we look at one another, and know that we’ll be friends for life.  Does it matter that we speak differently…me with a strong southern accent from growing up in the south, and Laura with her special way of speaking?  Hell no!  Authentic connections are simply that…engaging moments of being present with one another in the simplest of situations, laughing and sharing.  So, check out Food Connect!  If you are a foodie, this is the site for you…share recipes…connect with foodies all over the world!  Isn’t it great that we don’t have to have the same passion, the same business, the same life in order to JOIN THE CONVERSATON?  The bottom line is that we are all connected…we are all on the same TEAM!

You may feel that I have digressed from my sharing about the MIKE DILLARD webinar that you can sign up for at MagneticMarketingDiva.  Not at all.  In fact, that story is a perfect illustration of ATTRACTION MARKETING.  It’s all about the relationship.  That applies whether you on online or offline.

Speaking of connecting, it was with great sadness that we lost one of the greatest of connectors this week.  Who is that?  Millard Fuller, the founder of Habitat for Humanity.  Most people in our world know about Habitat for Humanity, but few know that Koinonia Village is the birthplace of this magnicent organization started by Linda & Millard Fuller. Roby and I had the privilege of speaking at Koinonia Village in Americus, Georgia. 

From the Koinonia website, it says…
“Preliminary autopsy results suggest congestive heart failure, the same cause of death 40 years ago for our founder Clarence Jordan. Millard came to Koinonia in the early 1960s at a crucial time in his life and his marriage. He immediately became good friends with our founder Clarence Jordan. He often said that he learned most everything from Clarence while sitting across from him, helping to milk the farm’s cows. 

Together with Clarence and our neighbors, Millard started Partnership Housing, which grew up to be Habitat for Humanity International. In 2005, at the age of 70, Millard and Linda founded Fuller Center for Housing to continue working to provide adequate housing for the world’s poor.

Millard wanted to be buried in the same manner as was his spiritual mentor and friend Clarence. So, like our founder Clarence, Millard will be buried on Picnic Hill in a shipping crate with no significant marker for his grave. ”

If you don’t know the deeper story of these two amazing, original ATTRACTION MARKETING men, visit Koinonia website.  Roby was emailing today with our dear friend, Peggy Campolo, and they were talking  about his passing. 

Roby told Peggy that we are on the Koinonia email list, and learned about Millard’s death a couple weeks ago, and discovered in the most recent newsletter that her husband, Tony Campolo, will be the principle speaker at Millard’ Life Celebration Party. Roby told Peggy, “ How neat is that!  I told Dotti I would love to be able to see it/hear Tony, etc. … do you think it will be videotaped or recorded somehow?”  Well, guess what folks. Peggy contacted Linda, Millard’s wife, and she wrote back, saying…

Isn’t it great that we all can share in knowing more about Millard Fuller by looking at those photos and listening Tony Campolo speak about him at his Life Celebration Party?

The memorial service for Millard Fuller is scheduled for 2 p.m. March 14 at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Ga., the church Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. once co-pastored with his father. The public is invited and welcome to attend. In 1992, Millard was honored with the Martin Luther King, Jr. Humanitarian Award, and was invited to preach at this church in 1993.

Ann Karp, a program director at Koinonia, asked us to speak there after she read about our year long journey criss-crossing American in 2005/06, with the intention of engaging hearts and minds, creating authentic connections and transcending differences that separate us. Roby & I were the first gay people ever invited to speak there.  This picture is immediately after we spoke.  Part of this newsletter from our journey tells of our time there.  Read it and learn more about Clarence Jordan.

Though Koinonia’s roots were in the Christian faith, it evolved over the years   Peacemaking is a core value of Koinonia.  I believe that is the reason we were asked to speak there.  That we are gay just happened to be a part of who we are.  The bigger picture, I believe, is that our message resonated with their core values. People of all faiths go there to spend up to two weeks.

Ok, once again, you may feel that I have digressed from my sharing about the MIKE DILLARD webinar that you can sign up for at MagneticMarketingDiva.  Once again, I repeat. NOT AT ALL.  We each are a unique part that weaes a beautiful tapestry.  It is about BRANDING YOU…that YOU being your unique & authentic self,  LIVE YOUR TRUTH, The magic that happens will astound you, and you will ATTRACT all that you desire into your life.

Connections…Connections…Connections…Where would we all be without our connections to one another?
