Iphone and Droid Apps
I saw an app on a droid the other day called MyCoupons. For $20.00 per month, you can advertise within a 20 mile radius of your business. I am going to try it this month and see how it does. I am assuming iphone has something similar, but I haven't checked it out yet. Just another advertising idea for any of you who are looking for something different. It's likely to draw in a young to middle aged technology oriented crowd.
Next meeting!
I was looking through the notes, and we all forgot to bring our jump drives last meeting to get that good to great thing from Allison. Also, we could discuss SEO next time if anyone's interested.
April Meeting Minutes!
We had a great meeting in April! Can't wait to see everyone in May!
30 and Driven Meeting 4/15/2010
Members present: Allison Carenza, Karren Colbert, Valerie , Erin Parish
I) Questions, Information Randomly brought up in the meeting:
A) How did Allison get the review tab on her facebook page? Allison was not sure. However, Erin checked into this. If you search for applications you can find it. The application is called reviews. Just click add to my page, and add it to your business page. Simple! (=
B) A man named Seth Godin has a marketing blog that is really good. Everyone should check it out.
C) When writing your blog, you want to write it as if you’re trying to attract someone of the opposite sex. Make it interesting and short.
D) We should all do videos for utube and add social acceptance (testimonials) to our websites.
E) When bringing in an employee or other people to help you, it always helps to write a list of what qualities that ideal applicant should have. You should also write a list of the qualities of your ideal client so you can know what market you’re targeting.
II) Successes
A) Allison
1) Allison will have a gallery opening at first Fridays in August.
B) Valerie
1) The Hippie Chow Bag design is done, and it is cool!
C) Karren
1) Karren got a large group of people who regularly comment on her blog. It is making her experience much more enjoyable. Karren is getting a lot of traffic to her website.
2) 2 Kids signed up for Karren’s writing camp.
3) Jon is working on Karren’s logos.
D) Erin
1) Had a $3500.00 month. Is well on her way to bringing someone else into her office.
III) Head Trash-What things are holding us back or have held us back from being better business owners.
A) Allison
1) Allison always saw herself as a teacher and not as a photographer. She is transitioning to seeing herself as a photographer. She had a scarcity mentality when it came to teaching other photographers what she knows. She feels like she needs to make a certain amount of money, but she keeps telling herself happiness is more important than money.
B) Valerie
1) Had a misconception that you have to have a unique product and be super intelligent to be a business owner.
C) Karren
1) Karren has problems with ideas that keep coming. They never seem to stop, and one idea leads to another which creates difficulty focusing (we all agreed on having this problem). Karren has a fear of failure. She also fears rejection when it comes to selling her business. She has problems just walking into a place and asking for business.
D) Erin
1) Erin fears losing control of her business/business name. Erin doesn’t feel like she is an authority on her business, and she doesn’t feel like she would have anything to tell others if she were to speak about her business in front of them.
