“Well, I think by now everyone has heard my story, but I wont mind sharing it again because I am actually impressed with myself! And I was shocked and thrilled to see how EASY it was to get a few clients. I would say that my first client is actually my first 3 clients, because they all happened in 2 days.

“The first one is an attorney out of LA who I have known for a while, so I called him and asked, “Hey, what do you do to market your business online?” I got a fantastic response… “Nothing. I have a website, so people should be able to find me.” Once he said that, I knew I had him. Basically, I ended up pitching to him that he needed some SEO to get on the first page of google. He agreed, and agreed to pay me $2,500 up front and $750/month ongoing! Not bad for my first attempt!

“Second attempt was an optometrist that I know in town, and asked him the same question, “What do you do to market your business online?” Same response…. “Nothing.” I pitched to him he needed some SEO as well, and he agreed to pay me $1500 up front and $500 ongoing… Not bad for one days work… 2 clients with $3,000 up front and $1,250/month ongoing.

“My third was a real estate agent I am good friends with, and I actually sent him a text message asking “Do you know any realtors who would want to be on the first page of google when someone searches for real estate in Las Vegas?” (Dumb Question right???) He responded… “No.” So I said, “ok, well, I’ll ask around then.” He sent me back another text 3 seconds later saying “what kind of question is that? ME!!!!! Can you help? I don’t even have a website!” (Ummmm… let me think… YEAH!) Because he is a good friend and I knew he has a bunch of really good connections, I told him I will do it for him for DIRT cheap under one condition… He has to bring me more business. He agreed to pay me $1000 up front, $500/month, and has already referred me to a mortgage broker who just spent $5,000 on print advertising, a title company who I know spends quite a bit on print adverts but is doing NOTHING online, and a guy who just bough a website that is not making him any money. I am confident I will get at least 2 of these clients for the big kahuna package.. I think i can get $10,000 up front out of each of them with $1500/month ongoing… I’ll keep you updated.

“Sorry for the long post, but i am so stoked right now that I just want to get the word out that THIS REALLY CAN BE DONE… BY ANYONE! I have NEVER done consulting before and never even thought of it as a business until 15 days ago when I came across Maria.

“I am in debt to Maria! My parting words…. OYM! Open Your Mouth, and tell people what you are doing.”

Most of you know how much I preach about the “next big trend” and

that is video marketing online…and to position your company to win in

this emerging market space.

The power of video marketing online is the ‘Holy Grail’ for businesses to

get more sales.  Period.

• Results in one month:  One restaurant got 300 new clients just by using one video ‘webmercial’
• Small businesses spent $10.9 million on Internet video ads in 2007 and will spend as much as $1.5 billion in 2012, according to the Kelsey Group, an advertising research firm.
• One of my clients, by using effective video online placement and syndication via Wildhorse Performance Marketing, has achieved first page Google ranking resulting in over six figures annually of increased revenue.

One of my coaching students, Sheila, came across
a VERY cool article on CNN that I thought
you would be interested in.

It’s third-party proof of the value of video to
offline businesses… and also shows the value
of our services.

…the lastest statistics from Crowd Science are that:

• 17% of Twitter Users Tweet from The Toilet
• 11% Tweet while driving…YICHS

Now what the heck does that really mean…how was this report determined and honestly, how fills out a survey admitting that?

Hmm…already imagining the calculations on a business ROI for that!

Just joking, must be the Halloween activities influencing my writing.

Seriously though, great social media statistics from emarketer (full original article - click here)

“You have the entire screen of the movie theatre to create and write the life you want!” - Maria Gudelis

I love the quote from Flip Wilson:

“What You See is What You Get”

Simply because it is so true.  What you play in the ‘theatre of your mind” as Dr. Maltz so eloquently called it…determines what you get.

We tend to focus on what we don’t want…such as

1. Type of relationship with a lover

2. An empty bank account or being broke, no way out

3. An ‘ugly’ self image of ourselves in our mind

That we tend to forget about the POWER of our Thoughts…

Our visions and if we can ‘control our subconscious‘ to focus on what we want such as:

1. Super relationships full of fun, life, and happiness

2. Expressing gratitude everyday for our health, friendships and wealth (seriously, vision in your mind a very FULL bank account even if you don’t have one this instant)

3. Travel to exotic places

Then it so shall be.

“What you see is what you get” is so powerful…6 words to remind us to see our vivid vision and have them become reality!

If you are interested to learn more…one of the first success action steps on day one of live coaching from me involves not only step-by-step instructions on how to create wealth for yourself in the RICHEST NICHE today…

…it also includes powerful ‘reprogramming of your mind’ to give you confidence to get clients to practically hand you checks!

The May 2009 Issue of Time Magazine featured how the world has changed and how that impacts how we work.  A quote directly from the article:

“Throw away the briefcase: you’re not going to the office. You can kiss your benefits goodbye too. And your new boss won’t look much like your old one. There’s no longer a ladder, and you may never get to retire, but there’s a world of opportunity if you figure out a new path.”

Me being the “glass is half full” kinda gal…I see a huge silver lining in the last part of the quote that was on the front cover of that May 25th Time Magazine article!

You see, we are truly on a new path in a world that changes every ten seconds and that is a good thing…the ability to collaborate to any corner of the world via the Internet opens the windows to lower cost labor, high intellectual teamwork, systems to manage your product life cycle…that you literally can create your own ‘lifestyle dashboard’ that fits what you want.

Maria Gudelis on Opportunities

There are so many new opportunities that almost every day yet another possibility shows up!  Now is the best time to be an entrepreneur.

You are modern day Christopher Columbus in today’s environment!

Just 5 years ago it would have cost over $30,000 to get your company branded online and have a solid website, usp and full branding campaign implemented.

Today…it is a fraction of the cost or should I say “investment”.

It gets better you can use hundreds of FREE social media sites to brand yourself, find customers, build business communities.  I remember in the year 2000 having to hire six figure executives to provide the same benefits that you can now get today with FREE social media sites…more sales!

The hardest part now is not lack of capital budget to market your company, the hardest part is to  focus and craft the right social media strategy online!

Visit one of the best marketing companies in the world if you need help on crafting your social media strategy:  Wildhorse Performance Marketing

Cheers,  Maria Gudelis

We live in a 3-6 second attention span culture and as a result - you should be able to identify your unique benefit to a customer in less than 6 seconds…really!

Make Yourself Known With Your USP

You have a great opportunity to “make yourself known” on a great piece of “virtual” real estate and here is where you can keyword optimize your bio to enhance your ability of getting to page one of Google and to drive traffic from your Twitter account to your website.

As an example of a great background graphic that broadcasts their “Unique Selling Proposition“, take a look at http://twitter.com/nakedpizza background.  Statistically, it has been proven that when you first go to a webpage, your eyeballs first look to the top left corner.  Note on Naked Pizza’s Twitter background how they use the most precious piece of “virtual real estate” on Twitter and have a great picture of their pizza with the words “think before you bite” and they communicate their U.S.P. -

“our dough, sauce and cheese are 100% natural, no additives, preservatives, colorants, or freaky chemicals of any kind. promise”.  Randy and Jeff, co-founders

Also note how the Naked Pizza owners signed it as “Randy and Jeff” to keep it ‘casual’ and fit the branding of Naked Pizza.

Who is Willie Crawford and why should you listen to him?Willie Crawford was raised on a tobacco farm in
North Carolina, living off welfare most of his
youth. His family was so poor that he once wore
his grandmother’s shoes to school while working
to earn money to replace his only dilapidated pair.
This environment built a burning desire in Willie
to break away from the cycle of poverty and build
his own business.

Willie worked his way through college, then
joined the U.S. Air Force where he traveled to 47
different countries while serving as a navigator on
C-130 transport aircraft. During that time, Willie
also learned “a little” of five different languages.

In 1996, while still serving in the Air Force in
Hawaii, Willie decided to start his own
internet-based business. By the time he retired in
2003, Willie had built that into a 6-figure
part-time income.

United States, Malaysia, Singapore and the U.K. He
has also done over 60 interview or information
products on the topic of how to generate website
traffic using mostly free methods.

Trafficology, the web’s leading traffic generation
magazine has interviewed Willie five times, and their
parent company, NitroMarketing turned one of his
mini-courses into a major big-ticket product.

Willie has created dozens of information and software
products, written over 1500 articles and 50 ebooks
on ecommerce and website traffic generation. He has
hosted seminars, and now hosts his own radio show
several times per week.

Willie has an incredible 1600 websites, some of
which get over 1 million unique visitors per month.

using content which he distributes across the
internet as well as on his websites.

Willie now leverage his expertise at website
traffic generation though content to help manage
the content submission company, Easy Push Button
Traffic, which he co-owns with traffic generation
expert Cyndi Parker.

his Florida home.
