Woohoo thanks Melanie! I hope it inspires you to find a way to get out there more often with your message.

Tony...this comment really hit home with me. I think sometimes when we're writing on our blog or putting our thoughts online, we wonder whether anything we write will have an impact on those who read it and you just proved to me that communicating authentically and truthfully online isn't ever in vain. I'm really touched by your comment, BTW, I've hadn't head of Marshall Syler but googled him immediately and I see I'm in great company so thank you for that.

And thanks for offering your help with aweber...immediately after I tweeted that concern a aweber rep contacted me to take care of the problem.

I hope I keep writing articles that tug on the heart....let's see ;)

Can't say how grateful I am for all the comments. Coming out of my week-long head cold and getting back into blogging. Will respond to everyone. xoxo.

I love the way you broke this strategy down, Tynisha! I have done this with my salon biz and the referrals picked up quickly! I love it!

Ok you are tugging at my heart on three different levels ONE: not sure if you study with Marshall Syler the Millionaire Maker but your words certainly carry the same warmth = trust that he offers. Two: I like your style of thinking. I see us a problems solvers "FIXIN' THINGS" as my pastor says.

I do have a solution to your aweber concerns in a tool that I use and can offer. Not gonna hard sell. if interested DM me on Twitter. I KNOW I can save you money and make your tools more powerful

Oh the third way you tuggin' on my heart. Lets say you brought back good memories of a cherished friend

I just want to shout out an "Amen!" after reading this, Tynisha. This is as good as any sermon from the pulpit I've ever heard!

And your main point is very well taken. We're doing our potential customers and clients a HUGE disservice if we don't share our knowledge and our gifts. As you mentioned, that's just plain selfish.

I'm glad that Terrie inspired you to write this post. I just met her recently during the last blogging challenge we completed on May 9th. She interviewed me as a guest expert and she was Awesome-O-Matic!

Write On!
(or should I say Preach On!) :-)

thanks so much for being a part of this challenge!

Wow, there is so many juicy topics to tackle in the comments that you guys are completely putting off my preschedule blog posting game :)

~Terrie, stay tuned for a special post answering your shy Introvert question.

~Gwen, online business need and should have offline networking activities --again another blog post on this later in the week.

~Henry, that sounds like awesome strategy you have there. Please let me know how it works it for you. I'm interested in the results.

~Melanie your question is going to take a blog post from me also...so stay tuned.

Wow, thanks everyone for commenting. Lots of food for blog posting over the next 28 days.

LOL I'm like Terrie with the scare button! But you know what, Terrie is awesome, whether she thinks she's shy or not. So to me that means our self-perceptions are not what others see - they see confidence and authority. So I know I could do this!

How do you suggest doing this if your business is online?

It's a great strategy and I use it to some degree.

I'm writing an eBook on Personal Branding that I'm giving away for free... with products on the backend sales and a 2-Tier Affiliate program.

I'm looking forward to following your #blog30 series.

Best Regards,
~Henry~

My scare button got pushed here. I can feel the anxiety ...LOL.. despite what Melanie says I really am shy and so it's hard for me to step up to people and ask for them to support me...LOL

Tynisha - wow - this is just what I need. I'll be following this entire series. And I'm going to follow along and see what can happen during this 30 days for me. I will tell you that I stepped out during the last blog challenge and it was very important. Thanks for bringing this to my attention...

Tynisha ~

I love this strategy. It's actually my "dream" strategy for showcasing my expertise and getting word-of-mouth referrals. Just one teeny-weeny problem. I have zero minutes of time to devote to attending meet-ups or in-person networking events. Not to set a negative tone here or anything of the kind, but I'm a single mom and I work three part time jobs outside the home as well as running my own online business. Whew!

It's a real double-edged sword situation, if you know what I mean. I know exactly what I "want" to do and yet what I "need" to do is getting in the way.

All in all, your post maps out an ideal way to get yourself out there and strut your stuff!!

I have several marketing books and although you mention to step out - a lot of the books on the market now are Inbound Marketing.

How do I balance the Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, digg.com - etc. with the challenge of face to face networking? Also, how do I attract more clients for a business like interior design. Any ideas?

Great post, Tynisha. And congratulations on the blog. It looks fantastic. On goals, I believe that the single most important predictor of success for women is the identification of specific goals and the lining up of actions to achieve them. And movements are so powerful, and when we embrace our ability to embody one, amazing things happen indeed. Thanks for this stepping out moment!

Hi Tynisha,

I see you are going to be a staple to the blog challenge. This is a great idea to have a 30 day action plan laid out for all of use. I'll definitely be following your advice! I love the plan you have set up for the challenge - all with a new blog.

Hey Fiona,
I was trying to think of something that would keep me motivated for 30 days. I've had blogs before and always lose steam around the third week or so if I don't know what I'm writing about and then of course the procrastination sets in. Thanks for visiting. I have some more great tips coming up.

Wow you are right on the money with your To Do List. It is manageable and has reasonable goals. Thank you for providing this information! I will be doing my homework tonight!

I really like this post. Excellent use of the 30 day Blog Challenge, and to create an Action Plan over 30 days is a reasonable timeframe to achieve something, even for a small busy business :) It will be awesome to see how this program progresses over the next month :)
