Make Social Media Your Slave

Make Social Media Your Slave By: Sandi Krakowski Sometimes you hear something online that is so out there- so ridiculous- so stupid actually that you wonder if the person who said it was joking. But if you're like me, I begin asking all the right questions to lead me to where I need to be in my business when this kind of thing arises. A few months ago I heard a very popular business person say these words, "What the heck are you spending all that time on Facebook for? Go build your business." Made me laugh actually. Because you see last year I started a little test with some marketing through Social Media. It earned me a nice 6-figure income over 12 months. Then we kicked it up a notch [...]

Creating Rapid Response To Your Opt-In For Your Email List

Creating Rapid Response To Your Opt-In By: Sandi Krakowski When building your website there is one component that should be in the upper right hand corner of your online real estate that you don't want to be without it.

Using Facebook To Increase Sales And Your List

Using Facebook To Increase Sales And Your List By: Sandi Krakowski I recently installed a plugin on my blog and was completely blown away at the results.

Cooking Up Big Dough In Business

Cooking Up Big Dough In Business My first business wasn't planned in a boardroom, I wasn't mentored by a millionaire the first time around and I didn't have any business partners in which to confide in as things grew. It was just me, a dream and many times guesswork. Back in 1997 I didn't even know a thing called the "Dot Com" bust was taking place. We had three little guys I was homeschooling (well only one at that time, the other two were in diapers still)... and my husband's income wasn't matching my desire for a $ 900 kitchen mixer. I learned how to bake bread from scratch from some ladies I had met online and while it was rewarding seeing my families eyes open wide when that [...]
