Here is a very public “Thank You” to Publicity Hound Joan Stewart for showcasing the lessons in the Bye-Bye Boring Bio Action Guide on her blog and linking to this post via her Publicity Hound ezine today.
It’s my pleasure to extend the anniversary sale special offer to receive the Publici-Tea™ Express Digital Workshop as a high value bonus to anyone who puts “Joan Stewart” in the comments section of their online order form when they purchase the Bye-Bye Boring Bio Action Guide or the NEW DIY Publicity Success System between now and March 31, 2010.
Speaking of which, here is a fun video my good friend and Publici-Tea™ graduate Betsy Talbot captured today from the sunroom of my Bellevue home to tell you more about this comprehensive self-study system that is as delicious as it is useful. Tune in now!
(Bellevue, WA - March 1, 2010) – In what the Wall Street Journal describes as today’s “ago of going solo,” independent professionals and publicity seekers are attempting to declare their expertise so the right people will listen and act. To support that quest, today through March 7, 2010, Main Street Media Savvy Founder and DIY Publicity Expert Nancy Juetten launches an anniversary sale through which people can purchase the popular and well-reviewed Bye-Bye Boring Bio Action Guide and receive the equally popular and well-reviewed Publici-Tea™ Express Digital Workshop as a high value bonus gift.
Juetten says, “Quickly establishing trust, like and respect online and in person has never been more crucial. People are no longer buying from ‘companies’ they are buying from ‘people.’ And the beginning of the relationship starts with business owners and independent business professionals declaring who they are, the value they bring, and why their expertise matters more than ever to the right people now.”As a result of her nine years working in the trenches with clients as a publicist and storyteller, Juetten has been struck by the struggle business owners experience as they attempt to describe what they do and for whom in compelling, clear terms.
She created the Bye-Bye Boring Bio Action Guide to make it easy for independent business professionals such as coaches, consultants, soloprenuers, aspiring and thriving authors, speakers, and infopreneurs to write compelling bios to advance their goal of earning expert status now.
Juetten suggests that people summarize their experience by combining four essential ingredients into a winning bio recipe — stunning results, succinct stories, sassy sound bites, and social information to help ideal clients connect with them. That helps people quickly organize their most compelling contributions.
“Would you rather hire a sales trainer who believes that cold calling is best left in the freezer or hire a sales trainer with a far less memorable way of sharing her point of view? That is the power of a sassy sound bite,” Juetten says. “If your bio sounds like ‘blah, blah, blah’ to you, you can bet a decision maker is going to agree. Go deep, describe your experience in memorable, magnetic, and meaningful ways that matter to them, and the right doors will open so you can get to work and get on with your life,” Juetten suggests.
“Guiding people and organizations to use words wisely in their website and blog bios, social media profiles, speaker pages, speaker introductions, and book jackets to invite relationships and new opportunities is the essential problem that the Bye-Bye Boring Bio Action Guide solves at a time when a solution is needed, now more than ever,” says Juetten. She even offers an Extreme Bio Makeover Service in which she will upgrade a client’s best effort draft to be even better.
Thousands of business owners, out-of-work employees, and publicity-seekers across Main Street USA and the world continue to toil in their search for new engagements and media recognition. The Bye-Bye Boring Bio Action Guide is packed with examples of real life bios that compel, along with step-by-step instructions and convenient templates that make it easy for others to write their own stories with speed, ease, and impact.
The Publici-Tea™ Digital Express Workshop invites business owners to learn the nuts and bolts of do-it-yourself publicity and book publishing so they can prepare and share their stories with much wider audiences. The over 100 minutes of audio files packed with real-life stories of decisive, stunning do-it-yourself publicity success stories from business owners, resource-rich Power Point presentation, and access to special offers and useful links and resources that deliver abundant value.

When Affirmagy launched to the world on Valentine’s Day 2005, I was a proud member of the company’s PR team. Working together, we earned plenty of quality media placements to invite product sales and earn raving product fans.

The company has just announced that this is the company’s last season, so there are some amazing deals for you to enjoy. Save up to 50% on cuddly blankets with positive affirmations until Nov. 30.

The “Media Savvy” column I wrote for the Puget Sound Business Journal for the 10-9-09 edition speaks to some essential questions to consider, especially if you’ve had to reinvent company products and services to rspond to current marketplace opportunities.
Are you wrestling with your business model in changing times?
Is your reinvention in progress or now complete?
How long has it been since you revisited the language you use to describe what you do and for whom?
Is your message relevant still?
If not, take time now to revise and refresh your message to reflect the value you bring to the marketplace today.
Then, re-launch your message to posting it to your website, blog, social networking profiles, article submission bio boxes, speaker introductions, and other avenues where ideal customers can learn more.

Today seems a fitting day to consider the stunning results you bring about for your clients, your family, or your employers, and others you serve. What are your stunning results?
Is your book a best-seller, translated into many languages, to empower others to be their very best?
Do you make phones ring, emails flow, and sales happen as a result of your consistent, tenacious sales actions every day?
Have you empowered thousands of people to eliminate chaos and achieve organization at work so they can invite more abundance in their lives?
Speaking of eliminating chaos, did you see the HUGE story in Friday’s Puget Sound Business Journal about Laura Leist’s company called Eliminate Chaos? Laura and I connected first at a local networking event, and she mentioned that earning a story just like this was on her priority list. We talked a while, and the more I learned, the more I knew that her story would be a perfect fit for a “Growing Your Business” feature. I told her how to approach her pitch and to whom to send it. Laura subsquently attended the Publici-Tea™ Workshop to learn a bit more. She followed up, waited, and wondered. And Friday’s story was the result of her effort. (The photo is by Dan Schlatter.) A full page Growing Your Business feature is a stunning result to flow from a productive conversation with an expert at a networking event and attendance at a DIY publicity workshop.
The next Publici-Tea™ Express is September 16, 2009. And here is an offer you can’t refuse. Sign up today to be a FAN of the event on Facebook. Then, you can attend the event at the $25 VIP rate!
Here is the link to sign up for Publici-Tea™ Express.
These events are a labor of love for me because the results that guests experience demonstrate that the mission I am on to empower others to get seen, heard, and celebrated is well worth the journey. Become a VIP and attend. Can’t wait to meet you!
