Listen to a 2 minute video message from Leesa Barnes, author of Podcasting for Profit
Dear Friend,
In 2005, I opened the doors to my coaching business. I was the Empowerment Diva and my mission was to help women be more confident in their jobs.
To market my business, I went to networking events and handed out business cards. I was buying ads in the community newspaper. I was meeting people over coffee. I was printing off flyers and handing them out at events. I did everything people told me to do to promote myself.
But things weren't working. After six months, I was $25,000 in debt and I had only 2 clients paying me $300 a month for coaching.
So, I changed my focus. I went from being the Empowerment Diva to the Chief Divapreneur. I was now helping career women transition to self employment.
Three months later, I became Coach Leesa. Now, I was helping women manage their businesses on a shoestring budget.
Three different focuses in just 12 months. I was confused, heavily in debt and utterly frustrated. I started visiting career websites and polished off my resume to see if I could get a job.
Fast forward to 2008. My business is vastly different today. I made my 2007 income in the first quarter of 2008. I held a virtual event that doubled my list in just 90 days. I have a business that's booked solid - and I don't have any 1-to-1 clients.
I can now share with you...
How an Unknown, Big City Gal Used Social Media to Triple Her Income, Get a Book Deal and Become the Most Sought After Expert in Her Field in Under 12 Months
Yes, I'm talking about myself.
In 2005, no one really knew who I was. I struggled to get speaking gigs. I earned only $1500 a month and I couldn't figure out how to move beyond this - let alone make six figures.
Three years later, I have achieved many things, in particular:
I was the only coach named by Canada's Word of Mouth Expert as one of the Top 50 Media & Marketing Bloggers in Canada.
Because of my podcast, a publisher contacted me to write Podcasting for Profit. I didn't shop around a book proposal, nor did I work with a literary agent.
I organized the first Social Media Telesummit, attracting 26 well known speakers, including Andy Wibbels, Paul Colligan, The Blog Squad, Jody Colvard, Krishna De and Yaro Starak to speak about social media over 8 days.
Social media has helped me maintain a #1 ranking in Google for the search term podcasting expert which has resulted in speaking engagements and interviews that practically fall into my lap.
I close deals faster because of social media. I build relationships with prospects who visit my blog, listen to my podcast and network with me online. This means that when they're ready to buy, they come to me.
I've been called a "Podcasting Queen" (Suzanne Falter-Barns), "Ms. Podacious" (Lia Allen & Milana Leshinsky), the "First Lady of Podcasting" (John C. Havens) and a "Podcasting Extraordinaire" (Globe & Mail technology columnist, Mathew Ingram) all because of my blog and podcast.
I want to teach you how to use social media and good ol' internet marketing tactics to...
Find New Clients EASIER, Earn Money QUICKER and Get Known FASTER Using Social Media
I've seen how social media, combined with a solid internet marketing plan, can help you dominate your niche, land top notch media interviews and have people clamouring to do business with you.
Take these examples from a selection of my clients:
A professional organizer starts using blogs to get known and saves $2000 a year on her marketing budget. She eventually gets called to appear on Toronto's #1 breakfast program without sending them a press release.
A financial company uses podcasting to increase their visibility which helps them decrease cold calling. Their sales team now has more time to drum up new business through their existing client base.
A senior executive at an advertising agency is listed #1 in iTunes for his podcast. He's invited to speak at many events and paid thousands of dollars because he's seen as an innovator in his field.
A relationship coach, who's afraid of technology, uses both a blog and podcast to generate thousands of dollars in extra income, giving her more free time to spend with her two school aged sons.
As I look at what my clients did to achieve this success, they all follow the same pattern. While the successes are different, they each used the same model to get there.
Some used blogs, some used podcasts and some used social networking. Whatever they used, they found new clients FAST and got known QUICKER using social media.
I want to help you experience massive results in just a few short months. That's why, I'm celebrating the launch of a brand new program...
Announcing My New Social Media Mastery Program
I'm so excited about this program. Not only can you choose your level of success, but you'll get results right away.
The Social Media Mastery Program was created for alumni of the Social Media Telesummit. But I know there's a need, so I'm opening this program for others to join.
I will spoon feed you my step-by-step blueprint on how you can use social media to raise your visibility and have business chase you. This is the only program that combines what you already know about teleclasses, shopping carts, autoresponders, ezines - in other words, the best of internet marketing - with the power of social media.
Here's what you will NOT get in the Social Media Mastery Program:
A flood of information that leaves you confused.
Techno mumbo jumbo where you'll be bored to tears.
Fluffy information that lacks substance or is based on "What if's."
Instead, you'll get:
The step-by-step blueprint that has helped me and my clients become stars in our niches.
A high level coaching and training program that goes beyond some of my other programs, but is more affordable than my $12,000 a year Inner Circle Mastermind Program.
A six month curriculum that we work on together so you can maximize your return on investment.
My personal phone number so you can call me directly during my office hours to ask your questions.
The opportunity to send your documents or slides directly to me so I can critique them.
Here are the the 6 tactics you'll learn as a Social Media Mastery member...
You'll Learn 6 Secrets to Help You Master Social Media So You Can Convert Traffic Into Cash and Fans Into Clients

Here are the 6 success topics I'll teach you in this program:
Topic #1 – How to Let Problems Skyrocket Your Sales
Many tell you to target a niche. With social media, you need to target a niche problem. You'll learn the best way to discover a profitable problem and how to use it to grow your business using social media.
Topic #2 – How to Deliver an Endless Stream of Content - Even If You're Time Strapped
If you have great content, don't keep it to yourself. You'll learn how to use YouTube and podcasting to share content with others without having to do anything technical. If you're writing articles, you'll discover how to use them on your blog so you generate an endless stream of traffic. You'll also learn the one tactic you must use on your blog that will get prospects and clients to share your amazing content with others effortlessly.
Topic #3 – The Social Media Tools You MUST Use to Create an Endless Stream of Raving Fans
Getting known and raising your visibility is a mystery to many. As a member of the Social Media Mastery Program, you'll discover the social media tools you MUST use to build traffic. You'll also learn which plugins you need to turn your Wordpress blog into a traffic attraction machine.
Topic #4 – Killer Conversion Tactics Using Social Media
Once people start visiting your site, you have to capture their information. You'll learn how to use an ezine, RSS and a feed email service to entice visitors to join your list. You'll also discover what you need to dangle in front of visitors so they give you their email address with no hestitation.
Topic #5 – How to Measure What Really Matters for Maximum Profits
You'll discover the three most important things you must use to measure your social media strategy and the tools you should use to collect this information.
Topic #6 – The Only Way to Make Money Using Social Media WITHOUT Using Ads or Sponsorships

As a member of this program, you'll learn the easy way and the smart way to add the power of a subscription model to your existing Wordpress blog. This is the same strategy that was used with the Social Media Telesummit blog.

What Makes the Social Media Mastery Program Different?
Most programs leave you feeling overwhelmed. You get so much information is such little time. You have no clue where to start.
You won't feel this way with the Social Media Mastery Program. Why?
You get personal coaching from me, Leesa Barnes. I'll keep you focused on your goal. You'll get to ask me questions directly. I'll be your personal social media coach.
You get a step-by-step blueprint. Too many programs overwhelm you with too much content - or they give you fluff. Not so with the Social Media Mastery program. I'll teach you how to combine internet marketing and social media to explode your sales and grow your business.
You learn using a variety of tools. I know that everyone learns differently. Some learn by doing, others by listening and still others by watching. That's why each topic has an audio, video and written component. You get to choose how you want to consume the content.
Still Have Questions About this Program? Here Are Some Things You Need to Know...
1 - Bring Your Business Partner Along for the Journey
If you have a partner in your business, ask him or her to join you at no cost. She or he can sit in on the Live Q&A Calls, access the Training Sessions and participate in the One-to-One Call-In Days with you.
Just remember - both of you must be focused on the same business. If you are a health coach and your friend is a fitness trainer, then you're not focused on the same business. But if you own a sales training company with your spouse, then you're both working towards the same goals.
2 - Your Confidentiality is Guaranteed
I'm not in the habit of revealing my client list, so you can rest assured that I will maintain your privacy. Anything discussed on the group calls stays on the group calls. All Social Media Mastery Program members will have to sign a confidentiality agreement before they can join the club.
3 - This Program Is Social Media Driven
Training sessions and activity sheets are delivered as a digital file in a members' area. The private social network is an online group. Only the Live Q&A Calls and the One-to-One Calls are over the phone. Because of this, you must have access to the Internet and have your own email account to be a member in the Social Media Mastery Program.
Only Those Serious About Mastering Social Media Can Join This Program
The Social Media Mastery Program is a 6 month commitment. I know that you will make back every penny that you invest in this program. I'm that confident about the value I'll deliver to you.
I only want to work with those who are serious about using social media in their businesses. I'm putting all my knowledge, expertise and energy into your financial and professional success. In return, I want the same focus from you.
To become a member, you have to apply by filling out a form. I use your answers to understand who you are and what skills you bring to the program.
I offer two guarantees for this program:
Guarantee #1 - If in the first 30 days, you feel that the program isn't meeting your goals, open a ticket on our help desk and let us know. We'll cancel the remaining 5 payments, as well as your membership in the program. No hard feelings.
Guarantee #2 - If 12 months after the end of this program, you don't make back what you spent, I'll refund every penny. But I have a condition. You have to show me everything you did. If you do nothing, you can expect nothing in return. If you made every effort, you have to show me.
But, I know that won't happen. That's how confident I am that you're going to boost your sales using the tips you'll learn in this program.
Here's to your social media success!
