Rick Herbst, John Adams, Derk Cheetwood & Steve Burton

Hollywood Daytime Actors, Derk Cheetwood, Steve Burton and Rick Hearst, have stepped foot into the world of Network Marketing world as Top 3% Leaders in the ‘Shining Star’
of All MLM’s, the fast-paced Growing, Network Marketing Premier ‘Juice’ & Nutrition company, Monavie.

As traditional network marketers, Derk, Steve, & Rick built their organizations primarily offline, but began feeling the overwhelming problem that plagues many
network marketers and that is Lack of Leverage and Duplication.

Finding themselves at a standstill, trying to continue the momentum in the Network Marketing Industry, they turned to the Internet for Answers.

Another ’super star’ in his own right, Dream Team Partner, John Adams, of JohnAdamsGlobal.com, a Delta Commercial Airline Pilot, with over 20 years experience flying large Aircraft, began researching ways to grow their network marketing business using the leverage, the power and the tools that the Internet has to offer.

In order to set the stage for what would be one of the most Unique Personal Branding Positioning of any Online Network Marketing Teams online, Derk Cheetwood contacted Personal Branding for Profit to create the branding they were looking for.

Tired of the traditional network marketing tasting parties, and hotel meetings, the Fab 4 knew that if they were going to be successful online, they would need to position themselves differently.

Branding themselves online would begin with their own personal ‘You-Theme’ Custom Blogs, in order to position themselves as Leaders leading with themselves, as opposed to what most struggling network marketers do online – leading with the opportunity.

In comes Personal Branding for Profit, (PBFP).

PBFP created Custom Blogs for all 4 gentlemen.

General Hospital's Derk Cheetwood

Derk Cheetwood, star of daytime Drama, General Hospital received not only a custom business blog, but also created an Official Fan Site built on the wordpress platform, to create a more interacive experience for his Fan Base as well as a Landing page designed to filter Fans and Entrepreneurs to where they want to go.

General Hospital's Steve Burton

Steve Burton, also known as Hearthrob, Jason Morgan (formerly known as Jason Quartermine) also received a Custom Personal Blog as well as a completely ’social media friendly’ Fan Site designed to keep his Fans engaged, keeping up with all his latest Tweets on Twitter, as well as a new home base at www.SteveBurton.com .

Bold & the Beautiful's - Rick Herbst

Rick Hearst, a 3 Time Emmy Award Winning Actor, and a Black Belt in Karate, also joined in the Complete Branding Bonanza, as he created his own ‘home base’ on the web with his Business Blog Site, as well as a brand new ‘Interactive’ Home for his New Fan site, located at RickHearstFanSite.com

Delta Airline Pilot - John Adams

Finally, our Commercial Airline Pilot, John Adams, also received a new Custom You-Theme Blog, in order to brand himself as the Global Pinnacle Leader that he is quickly becoming in his Organization.

All four gentlemen also received matching Twitter Backgrounds for their Business Sites as well.

The ‘Dream Team’ as they have penned themselves, is quickly mobilizing online as they apply all the marketing knowledge they have acquired in a short period of time, with the expectation of doubling or tripling their results online, while teaching other Network Marketers and budding Entrepreneurs the Importance of Personal Branding while building your business.

Because as all successful business owners know, customers come back for 2 reasons, Service and Likeability, and when you position yourself online as a person of Value and then have a trustworthy & Authentic online image to match, that is a winning combination for growing any business you are looking to expand online.

Michelle Shutter is no Stranger to the MLM Industry. Also a Entrepreneurial Work-from-home-Mom and a kindred spirit with her own special ticket to heaven (she has 4 Young boys!) and is a school teacher, Michelle finally found success online using powerful marketing systems and engaging her audience with her own unique, ‘teaching’ style.

However, Michelle’s old blog just wasn’t telegraphing her message correctly, so she came looking for our services.

I’ll let you hear from her in HER own words with this unsolicited Testimonial Video Below!

From a Boring and disconnected theme, to a RED HOT (for Teacher) look, Michelle was thrilled with the results!

We consulted with Michelle over the phone and told her to pose with that infamous green apple she is now holding in her hand. Michelle was totally game to take her branding to the next level.

Not shy at all, she took a bunch of pictures and we picked the best one!

We definitely give Michelle an A+ for Effort!

Next We created a custom optin form and custom little Apple Follow Me Icons to go with the overall Teacher Theme.

Then we continued the branding and carried it over to her twitter profile as well.

Michelle was an incredibly awesome client to work with.

She was so open to the creative process and allowing us to

create a look that was in sync with her own personal style!

One of my Favorite things about Wordpress is finding cool Useful Plugins that make blogging so much more fun.

One of the coolest plugins I use is called TweetMeme and it’s for Your Blog Readers to be able to simply Tweet your Blog Post straight to Their Twitter profile in just one fast click.

But have you ever wondered why people are re-tweeting your posts and it’s not showing up in your @ profile section in twitter (where you see all tweets with your name mentioned) Chances are you haven’t configured your TweetMeme Plugin properly in the ‘Settings” Section in your Wordpress Admin Dashboard, so I whipped up a quick tutorial to teach you how to do that.

Cuz Heck, if people are enjoying your posts and re-tweeting them, I’m sure ya wanna know right?!

I didn’t know I’d forgotten to configure my own when I first installed the plugin, until someone brought it to my attention. And then when I went to re-tweet one of my Good Buddy’s, Jason Croxford’s Awesome Blog Posts and saw that it was being RT to @tweetmeme I knew I had to share how to do it!

So This video will take you step by step and show you how to configure this cool twitter plugin.

  If you don’t have the TweetMeme Plugin, you can download it right here:

Secrets Finally Revealed: How to Turn $5.00 Bucks into $300,000 Step-By-Step

http://www.MoneyMakingSystem250K.com

I Love Wordpress.

As someone who has a web-design background, and who madeover ebay stores for over 2 years, I’ve never seen anything as fun and as flexible as wordpress for content management and for an individual user to have an almost ‘instant’ web presence.

It’s the most convenient and fastest way to Increase your ‘Brand Equity’ Online.

Wordpress is an extremely powerful platform, and if you are an entrepreneur establishing your business online, you must have a Blog – Period.

Even if you Have a Website, you should have a blog.

Why?

Because you can always add fresh content to your blog, by yourself, (without having to call upon your webdesigner), which results in eager readers and followers just waiting for your next post, hungrily waiting for what you have to say.

So, aside from going custom with your blog design, which is something that I’ve really been turned onto, there are a ton of ultra cool plugins you can add to your wordpress blog to totally take it up a notch.

But first, before you start adding plugins to your wordpress blog, you first must understand what they are.

Here is a quick explanation:

A Plug in is an add-on for Wordpress that can do almost anyting you can imagine. It is an add-on file that you install into your WP-Content Directory, in the Plugin folder that will enhance the way your wordpress blog runs.

There are all kinds of plugins. All you have to do is basically think of something you want your wordpress blog to be able to do… and then all you have to do is google what you want, for example, “Affiliate” and then add + Wordpress Plugin, and see what comes up!

It’s super cool!

Well now that you know what a plugin is, and how it helps your Wordpress blog, here  is a list of my personal 7 favorite plugins for Marketers who sell products and services like I do.

And they are listed in no particular order.
1. eStore Shopping Cart Plugin – If you are looking for a way to sell products or services on your
blog, out of all the plugins I checked out, and believe me I checked out many, eStore is the simplest
most user friendly easy to install plugin I’ve found for what I want to do. It is integrated with
Paypal so you can easily accept payments. It allows you to add multiple items to your cart and checkout
through paypal at the end.

2. WWSGD – That stands for What would seth Godin Do. If you don’t know who Seth Godin is,
He is an American Author of Business books and popular speaker with appearances at ‘Google’
‘TED’ and a number of charities. Godin popularized the top of ‘Permission’ Marketing.

This is a super cool little plugin that really makes your blog readers feel special. You can program
a ‘first time user’ message that appears on either individual blog posts or on each page of your blog, and a 2nd message for return users. I think it’s useful in that it breeds familiarity, and makes your blog readers feel at home and welcome
on your blog, which is your personal space on the web and welcomes them back each time they visit!

3. Contact Form 7 – Forget having to create an html form in Frontpage and then cutting and pasting it into your
wordpress blog. All you need to do is install the Contact Form 7 Contact form Plugin. Make sure you create a ‘Contact’ page in your Backoffice admin area and then all you have to do is activate the plugin, copy a small snipet of code and
then paste it into the page. Hit Publish, and voila, you have an instant contact form where your blog readers can send you a message or comments that go to your email directly from your blog. But doing this can also leave you open to receiving spam, which is why I activated plugin #4 which is….

4. Simple Captcha. A Captcha is a type of challenge-response test used in computing to ensure that the
response is not generated by a computer. In other words, it’s those screwy looking letters and numbers
you sometimes see on a page that require you to type in what you see in the box, to ensure that you are
not some sort of Spam Bot!

Simply Customize some coding in this cool little plugin and then paste it right into your ‘Contact’ page where you activated Contact 7. These two plugins work hand in hand or you can use them seperately. Either way, they definitely do compliment each other.

5. Wordpress Affiliate Platform. I’ve been wanting to add an affiliate program to my design services for a while now, as it is a great incentive for others to promote your business on your behalf, but I didn’t need anything too complicated and I wanted it to run on wordpress. Whew, seems like a tall order? Could a plugin possibly exist? Yep, it sure does! It’s the Wordpress Affiliate platform and it’s a really cool plugin that allows you to track affiliates, it generates an affiliate link, you can track sales, manage affiliate payouts, and even upload affiliate banners and generates the affiliate link and codes so that your affiliates can just copy and paste the affiliate banners to promote your site. There is also an affiliate admin panel where affiliate can track their sales as well! Gotta love it! Oh and it’s fully integrated with the Wordpress eStore. They work beautifully together, just like peas and carrots

6. Commentluv – Commentluv is one of those cool little plugins that again, breeds familiarity and reciprocity. The way it works is that when a fellow blogger posts a comment on your blog, commentluv will pick up on their last post, depending on what site they list in your Leave a Comment Section. For example, if you enter your website as your twitter profile, it will display the persons last twitter feed. This little plugin helps promote others that have taken the time to comment on your blog, which entices your readers to click on their links and visit their blog. In other words, it spreads the ‘comment Love’ hence the name

and last but not least….

7. TweetMeme. Tweetmeme is a cool little plugin that packs a punch. It can be placed on all your posts and on every page, and lets your readers conveniently RT or Retweet, a blog post directly from your blog. Make sure to update your twitter profile in the settings section of the plugin, so that when someone  retweets, you can see your own name and know who retweeted your post. I like this plugin alot because not only does it help promote your post and drive more traffic to your blog, but you find out whose contributing to your blog and retweeting your posts, which in turn, usually results in you reciprocating by following that person too.

So there you have it. These are my top 7 favorite plugins for marketers who sell services or products
on their blog.

There are so many cool plugins out there, you just gotta get creative and start googling!

It’s So much fun!

Well it’s easier to do than you think! And if you are branding yourself online, it’s an absolute must that you make sure you get one.
