Hi Zara Calling with powdery delights!

noreply@blogger.com (Zara Lockwood) — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 08:10:00 +0000

Just a quick broadcast to remind folks into coffee try out my coffeedownline builder thingy if you haven't already, it's a free tool that gives you two ways to activate your network - getting new recruits - and promote your products - firstly you can recruit via the front page referral URL you are given, or you can introduce people to all the sites on one splash page - the second URL.

This builder is a part of a suite of tools I am working on to bring people interested in coffee together - maybe I should start a coffee dating site like "plenty of coffee" ? innit :P

Anyway - here's the bit.ly URL - I know my video is bad but you have to just do stuff sometimes right ? (unless you like people doing nothing o'course) http://bit.ly/14ebTo

At the moment beach lawns have got the usual purple and orange flowers, the spring ones are dying off and the yellow ones are just starting to pop open - they seem to last until november. See some bumble bees hovering on small white flowers next to red berries with thorns.

...seen a rat or ten too, no sign of the black rats I saw last year so far, doggette in the previous post, loves to sniff them out, she remembers the domestic rats we had in Berrow I expect.

I will also be adding some digital images made from photos of mine that give Weston a pastel glow that reminds me of the old postcards of the town I've seen on eBay.

Example Sands Night Club:

and The Winter Gardens Pavillion:

I might make some of these into postcards or keyrings - create my own souvenir shop maybe ?

noreply@blogger.com (Zara Lockwood) — Tue, 05 May 2009 20:10:00 +0000

Does anyone remember when Minehead had orange sand ? - I'm sure the sand has changed colour and texture since I last visited (about 15 years ago) it looks the same as Weston Sand now, but I'm sure it was grainer and... well... darkish orange! - totally different to Berrow or Burnham which had and still has fine yellow sand.

Do you Twitter ?

noreply@blogger.com (Zara Lockwood) — Tue, 05 May 2009 19:53:00 +0000

Join up to twitter here: http://www.twitter.com twitter is like a cross between text messaging and instant messaging except it's all done in public, so others can read your messages and join in your conversations if they want.

You might think, well why would I want to chat so everyone can listen in ? - well - the idea is say for example you were chatting about mobile phones, somebody that is following your 'tweets' (chat) may know of the phone you are after or have had a good/bad experience and they can let you know.

Another example is using twitter as a status updater or general chatting with friends to meet up.

If you are reading an article on another website you can add a web link to it and all your friends/contacts will be sent the link.

Another thing you can do is tweet to groups on a subject by adding a # (hashtag) for example if you add #somerset to a message - anyone looking in twitter search http://search.twitter.com can type in #somerset and any chats hash tagged that way will show up in results.

SomersetBob has created a group to make finding somerset stuff on twitter easier here:
http://twibes.com/somerset you join by using your twitter account to sign in - there are ten members so far (it's new!) so more people interested in Somerset are welcome to join.

Shout out for the Raglan Arms in Weston

noreply@blogger.com (Zara Lockwood) — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 20:47:00 +0000

I recommend you visit this group, it's a good example of a local pub interacting with social media - and actually making use of it - i.e building a list of locals and letting them know when events are happening there, and informing potential customers of features like free wi-fi, when football matches are on etc.

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=81041695773

I will get a photo of their pub next time I am down that way with a camera!

The Million Dollar Challenge - top business experts from around the world

noreply@blogger.com (Zara Lockwood) — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 14:22:00 +0000

*** TOP FEATURED ***

The Million Dollar Challenge - top business experts from around the world

Zara Lockwood has sourced a million dollar business development campaign from global experts to help your business grow rapidly... If you've been active on social networks lately, you have probably heard the buzz about the Million Dollar Challenge. It is a ground breaking business TV collaboration which offers unique results based opportunity for your business to access powerful marketing campaigns valued at well over US$1 million. This gives you access to the kind of thinking, expertise and campaigns that most businesses would only dream of.

Zara has forged a strategic alliance with yourBusinessChannel, so now her readers can apply to take part in the Million Dollar Challenge. It only takes only a few minutes to apply. You should certainly take a look. The ideas behind these campaigns draw on the latest thinking of top rank business experts from around the world.

For example, in the area of business networking contributing experts include Ecademy founder Penny Power, BNI founder, Ivan Misner and the most connected man in the world Ron Bates. Sales campaigns draw on the thinking of experts like David Meerman Scott (a man personally responsible for over US$1 billion in sales), entrepreneurial successes like Bob Young (whose business broke all first day records on the NYSE when it listed), PR gurus like Peter Shankman, as well as experts in blogging, online sales, content distribution and much more.

Million Dollar Challenge campaigns are leading edge: they will shock your competitors, excite your prospects, and transform your business, all at a price you can afford. The first group of businesses already on the Challenge are reporting excellent results even early on. Best of all, in challenging times, the Million Dollar Challenge is very low risk, because it is largely results based. You only pay full price if you experience great results. (Of course, we’re absolutely confident that you will). And there are some very strong guarantees in place as well.

If selected to take part in the Challenge, your business will be one of a handful to get access to campaign blueprints drawn from the advice of global marketing experts, and then tailored specifically for your business. Blueprints like:

Digital Marketing Blitz: campaign on key social networks like LinkedIn, YouTube, and FaceBook with a purpose built sales team

Attraction Blueprint: connect directly with customers on social networks and search engines like Google.

Sales Monster: generate powerful sales presentations fast whenever your sales team needs them, and receive weekly updates on the latest sales techniques. Perfect

Sales Site: benchmark your website against the Internet’s ‘perfect sites’.

The key focus of the Million Dollar Challenge is rapid sales growth – because research shows that this is the number one business issue. Anyone with a business - from entrepreneur to executive - can apply. And the Million Dollar Challenge is open to business associations, charities and not-for-profits as well.

Even if you’ve not felt the impact of the global slowdown, the pressure is on. Decisions you make now are vital. Clever businesses like yours need to get the best results so that you make the most of every opportunity and grow rapidly. Imagine if you could get access to over US$1m in results-based campaigns which have been proven to work, in many industries all around the world. What numbers could you achieve with the latest thinking, know-how and advice from some of the world’s most successful business experts? Today you can find out.

There is more information on Million Dollar Challenge in this short video presentation. The application process takes a few minutes. Twenty-five places have been made available. Is there any reason you shouldn't consider this for your business?
