You’ve probably seen share buttons (like on the bottom of this post) on websites, blogs, and generally all over the Internet. These buttons allow you to share content via Facebook, Twitter, and any number of other channels. If you use Constant Contact you simply click the

box when you are selecting the list you are sending to and scheduling the send date and time.

Adding Social Share buttons to your Awber e-mails is a bit more involved.

If you’re interested in adding share buttons to the messages you send with AWeber, simply follow the directions below.

Gmail offline is a new feature that Google just released for their Chrome browser, and it’s GREAT. I love Gmail and if you use it you probable do to. With Gmail I get my e-mail at my desktop computer, my laptop, my phone and anybody else’s computer that I might be using. It’s SO liberating! BUT, there has always been one major drawback, that has been access you Gmail when your a offline, say on a plane or if you lose your Internet connection for some reason.

Gmail Offline solves this problem. It’s free. It’s simple to install and easy to use. In the video below I show you how I installed Gmail offline in less than 2 minutes.

This post is not directly related to Internet marketing, but it is related to human relations, you and me, your customers and colleagues, and mine.

In this poignant and funny TED lecture Brene Brown explains human connection — our ability to empathize, belong and love. She shares a deep insight from her research, one that sent her on a personal quest to know herself as well as to understand humanity. A talk to share.

Can you guess which color text link got 53% more clicks? One was red, the other blue. Nothing else on this homepage was changed. Watch the video below:

Last night I re-edited an old video and added it to the home page of IMGmembers.com. I excerpted clips from an old “speaker demo real”. My speaking parts were out dated, (amazingly more due to my looks than the content of what I was saying, much of what I was speaking on was strategic and still very applicable today) but my point is that with 20 or 25 inutes of editing I was able to harvest some very usable video content and add it to this website.

Check it out and let me know what you think. The video is about mid-page. Do you have “old” video that you can re-purpose?

According to a survey conducted by Citi Investment Research and Analysis and published at Inman.com

Real estate professionals consider Facebook and other social media sites to be the best online marketing tools at their disposal, rating them as more valuable than search-based campaigns.

Just because social media ranks #1 for marketing real estate doesn’t mean it is the BEST channel for your business, but… and this is the reason I posted this today, a few years ago, maybe even 1 year ago, Social Media would not have been on top for Realtors either. If you are not taking social marketing seriously you should. If you need help I’m here.

Intrusion and hype based marketing is becoming less effective as word of mouth, education and discovery based marketing is becoming ever more effective.  I see this as a VERY good thing.

In the video below I show the most common mistake I’m seeing small businesses make on Facebook. Go to your personal Facebook page and click on your employer, I’ll bet it’s NOT linking to your Facebook Business Page. This is one of the most common mistakes I see businesses making on Facebook.  In the video below I show you what I’m talking about and I show you how to fix the problem in about 15 seconds!

Now that the Facebook Timeline has rolled out worldwide, the way you access your Employer field has changed. Mari Smith has provided some screen shots on the link below that you may find helpful. http://www.marismith.com/mistake-personal-facebook-profile-employer-link/

I’m often asked what I do as an Internet marketing coach. What’s the difference is between a marketing coach and a marketing consultant. (In the video below I explain how small businesses benefit from an Internet marketing coach.)

Using the familiar Chinese Proverb,  “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.“, let me explain it this way:

A service provider gives you a fish.

A consultant tells you where to fish and recommends a bait.

A coach takes you to the best fishing hole, shows you what equipment to use and how to rig your bait, he shows you where to cast, he shows you how to set the hook and then guides, directs and encourages you as you are casting, reeling, fighting and landing the fish. A coach teaches you how to fish.

By the way, what I just described is the process my fishing guide, Dan Lyon, uses when we go fishing. He’s great and has helped me catch some huge Rogue River salmon.

As an Internet marketing coach I teach my clients to fish and more.

I help you avoid the obstacles, I watch what you are doing and make suggestions, I review your website analytics on the lookout for both red flags and  opportunities you may not be seeing. Just like Dan, my fishing guide, wants me to catch lots of big fish, I want you to obtain and maintain top Google rankings on your best keywords, I want your website to produce maximum leads and/or sales.

My fishing guide gets paid weather I catch fish or don’t, but I’m sure he knows I’m not going to use him for long if we don’t catch fish in a reasonable time but I doubt that is why primary reason he wants me, and all of his clients, catch fish, the primary reason is it’s JUST MORE FUN!!!

Like fishing, Internet marketing is much more fun when you’re having success.

As you’re Internet marketing coach we will have fun. You won’t catch a whopper with every cast, I know that, but I will “put you on the fish”, and show you, very specifically, what to do and how to do it. I’m very confident when I say that with me as your  Internet marketing coach I will significantly up your odds of Internet marketing success.

I often spend a little time Saturday mornings “working on it” as opposed to “working in it”, the “it” I’m talking about is my business.

I get outside of the “to do’s” and client work and I take some time to think. Some of my best ideas have come from these Saturday morning sessions with myself.

This morning I was thinking about ways to leverage my expertise and experience to serve more people and build new streams of revenue. As fate would have an old friend of mine, Alex Mandossian, had sent me an email earlier in the week that I had set aside to watch this morning. It’s so interesting I just had to share it with you.

Here’s the video. I hope you find it as interesting and inspiring as I do.

Here’s what Alex said in his email, “This offer is amazing – in fact, I wish I’d thought of it myself. My dear friend Eben Pagan has compiled the best of the best, a total of 6 courses worthy of devotion to launch you into success following his model of “focus on making money in the future”.

Check out the video below. I have to say that I’m absolutely loving how all of these tools are interacting. The +1 button now lets visitors share links to your pages on Google+. Now if someone wants to start a conversation about your content it’s incredibly fast and easy or them to do it.

Second, you now can use +Snippets to customize the name, image and description that appear when your content is shared. This so cool.
