#1. I would love your support! You’ve been a host of a party before right? So you know how it feels when you’re preparing your grand event and making everything just perfect. You’re anticipating. You’re excited. And you would just LOVE to have your friends and colleagues there.
That’s how I feel now too. This is my very first book. And let me tell you, it was like birthing a child: exhausting and rewarding at the same time. One of my goals this year is to really slow down and relish in what I’ve accomplished and celebrate. So that’s exactly what I’m doing. I am a first-time author and I’m just so proud and excited. Would you come support your colleague in the industry? I am inviting you to join me!

7 No Brainer Ways to Repurpose Your Expertise and Excellence ©Melissa Galt 2010
In this age of life and business at warp speed, it is easy to get overwhelmed by the many opportunities and tasks that come our way literally daily. And we forget that the whole point to the internet is that it allows us countless super simple ways to replicate ourselves and our expertise with a minimum of effort. So let’s imagine that you have one piece of incredible content, even at just 250 words whether they are written or spoken (I know you might not like to write or be good at it, but I also know you can talk and be transcribed!) Here are seven no brainer ways to repurpose your expert and excellent content.
1. Make it a BLOG POST, if you don’t have your own blog, then share it on someone else’s as a comment.
2. Turn it into an ARTICLE and submit it to article directories like www.ezinearticles.com
3.Spin it into a VIDEO. You can do this easily with www.animoto.com or www.articlevideorobot.com
4. Add images and illustrations and make it a downloadable SPECIAL REPORT. (This works even better when you combine several articles together.)
5. Put it in your EZINE (electronic newsletter)
6. Make a PODCAST out of it.
7. Share it in a FORUM. This is a great way to attract new prospects and buyers.
There are many more ways you can repurpose your content. The key is to put these systems into place so that you can focus on your excellence and expertise and reap the time saving benefits of sharing great content you create in multiple formats with multiple prospects and buyers. After all we are in the Information Age, the more you share, the more you grow.
Want more great shortcuts to systemizing your profits? Grab your seat on the upcoming free webinar “5 Super Simple Secrets to Save You Time, Skyrocket Your Profits, and Build Your Brand With Heart and Individuality”; on Thursday, August 12, at 4 pm EST/7 pm PST, http://tinyurl.com/23wgfeo.
Do you know this man?
The man that I’m talking about is David Shepherd.
A very accomplished entrepreneur, he is also the founder of Business of Design Conference – THE place for serious designers to get best business advice and latest strategies.
I am embarrassed to admit that until a few months ago, I had never heard of David Shepherd or his conference. And you know me – I am ALL about business of design. It’s shocking that such a charismatic figure in our industry and such a powerful event, escaped my radar.
So, it occurred to me that if it escaped me, perhaps it’s escaping you as well. And I just couldn’t let that happen.
I am very excited to be attending the conference this year. You know that I always talk about continuing education, self-improvement, and betterment of your business skills. Well, if you are a serious designer, there is no better place this year to further your business, your confidence, and your bank account, than by attending The Business of Design Conference, September 2-3, in NYC.
I’d like you to experience it so much, that, as a preferred partner of DPI, I’ve been able to negotiate something very special for you (I still can’t believe David agreed to this).
Officially, the ‘early bird’ special ended on June 1st but David is extending it for you through July 6th! Only through July 6th, you can save $500 off the regular price admission ticket of $1995. So your price for this premier two-day event is $1495! Your special code is 74Z4G. (this offer is not valid for those who have already purchased their tickets)
Be sure to check out the particulars at The Business of Design Conference and register today. Can’t wait to meet you in NYC!
