Hello Everyone At The Get Slightly Famous Network,
Over the past year, I've been working on solutions to the growing problem of global poverty. This has resulted in my establishing a nonprofit foundation, Global Initiative to Advance Entrepreneurship (GIVE).
Now, in the wake of the devastating tsunami that ravaged South Asia a little over a month ago, our mission is more important than ever. I've spent the past several weeks planning ways to use the power of the Internet combined with the concept of cause related marketing to make a real, lasting difference in the lives of those affected in Indonesia.
Please feel free to distribute the following newsletter as you see fit. And stay tuned for updates to GIVE's efforts to aid the recovery efforts through the power of entrepreneurship.

Making A Real Difference In Indonesia
I just returned from Indonesia last month, launching a poverty alleviation
project for Global Initiative to Advance Entrepreneurship (GIVE), a
nonprofit foundation of which I am the Executive Director.
GIVE’s long-term focus is economic development through entrepreneurship.
However, in light of the devastating earthquake and tsunami in South Asia on
December 26th, 2004, our mission has a new urgency.
GIVE is now actively supporting the Indonesian relief effort by working with
local nonprofit groups that are delivering food, medicine and supplies to
the hardest hit areas of Indonesia.
With runways, roads, and docks all wiped out, many of the large relief
organizations have not even been able to reach the communities that need
help the most.
The supplies and medical aid sponsored by GIVE are being delivered by local
agencies already in Indonesia, and are being transported by a fleet of small
trucks and boats staffed with people who speak the language and know the
culture.
How You Can Help The Most
If you would like to contribute to those who have lost their homes and
livelihood in this disaster, I'd like to encourage you to make a donation to
the GIVE Tsunami Relief and Economic Development Fund.
Even if you have already donated to a relief organization like the Red
Cross, a donation of any size to GIVE will have a more lasting impact on
Indonesia, which has been the country hardest hit by this tragedy.
To find out more about GIVE or make a donation, please visit
http://www.giveindonesia.org
I believe that to tackle the issue of global poverty, which will only be
heightened in the aftermath of the recent disaster, an epic outreach from
those in the developed world to those less fortunate is part of the answer.
GIVE is focusing in 2005 on bringing proven models for poverty alleviation
and microbusiness creation to Indonesia. Our goal is to leverage our success
in Indonesia to further expand to other countries in Asia, including India,
Thailand, Malaysia and China.
GIVE embraces a model of “social entrepreneurship” that provides
opportunities to support long-term, self-perpetuating solutions to global
poverty.
I'm not talking about a handout or charity. Rather, I'm suggesting that one
of the best ways out of the growing problem of wealth disparity is by
teaching those with very little how to build their own income streams,
develop an entrepreneurial mindset, and essentially become masters of their
own destiny.
Our overarching mission is to produce job creators, rather than job seekers,
through entrepreneurial education and development projects, forging
complimentary relationships between the for profit and nonprofit sectors,
and linking proven models and resources toward the alleviation of global
poverty.
After the immediate crisis is over, the relief organizations will move on,
but the people of Indonesia will need outside help for years to rebuild
their economy and infrastructure.
GIVE is providing immediate aid now and will continue to help the people of
Indonesia recover long after the relief organizations have left. Shortly,
we’ll be announcing ways you can help in the long-term process of helping
Indonesia recover from this awful tragedy.

Perhaps sending a newsletter or email to clients/potential clients to tell them what is new, and a small recap about how the company has grown in the past 6 years. Perhaps sending them a little thing with your logo on it (if you have time) such as a notepad.
As for yourself, do something for you! Take a break, you deserve it. Is there something that you want to do, but never had the time for it? Do it to celebrate K23's birthday.

Today marks the six year birthday/anniversary of K23 Enterprises, and, like every year about this time, I am totally unprepared.
Why can't I remember my OWN business birthday? It's beyond me...
In any case, I've been thinking of things to do to celebrate this, and while I have a few things in mind, for the most part I'm totally blanking.
Any thoughts?

Okay, this isn't media exposure or blogging but I did a Webinar this evening with 350 people online. Really a very positive experience. I did my first one of these in Ocotber and this evening was my second one.
Exposure in front of 350 people about my expertise for an hour is not a bad thing.
All the best,

Valerie, for this you should probably just go pro to get it done right.
For some more informal stuff, I'll be contacting my local high school to see if they'd be willing to do a project (classroom or extracurricular) for some filming needs I have.
If you have a school of arts nearby, or technical school, that might be another option.

Valerie Vauthey - MyPrivateCoach
|
Hello!
As I was in Europe for 4 weeks, one night I decided to browse the internet and went to all large European TV show producers websites. I sent a few emails about what MyPrivateCoach does and amazingly, it is the largest one which contacted me!
They want to do two things with me (and on one I would love to get your help!):
- a documentary on MyPrivateCoach and on the little Corsican lady who came to America and started the company she could not start in France
- have me as a coach on call for some of their shows. For this, they would like me to send them a tape of me in a professional "movie" quality piece. Either me filmed with a client (on stage/in a studio or in the comfort of the client's home) or doing an interview with a show host.
This sounds good except, I do not have such a thing!
I know I can contact local videographer but I am sure I would be better off if I could get into a studio and get the real TV professional grade film.
What would your suggestions be? (I have already bounce this idea to my network of friends and friends of friends and it is moving but slowly....and apparently these guys don't want to wait!).
Thanks and have a fantastic day!

Hello,
You have never seen a post from me on this board but I was reading you with a lot of attention :o)
I have used Blogger but frankly this is not a corporate scale blogging system. It does not offer lots of features as Scott mentioned. It also tends to crash easily and has an amazing number of bugs!
Also, for those of you who think that using Blogger which was bought by Google, will help their ranking on Google, you are mistaking :o) Google takes all blogs into account and does not give more weight to Blogger's blogs.
I am still looking for the best open source blogging system....
Cheers!

| 01/08/05 | Blogging and using RSS # |
Jenny Meadows

Hi Scott,
I'm finally getting around to reading my Ryze network posts. Interestingly enough, I've been working on converting a major company's Dreamweaver site about databases to Plone, as well as copyediting a Plone blog for a friend who's an SEO guy, so I'm getting more knowledgeable about computers and blogs, etc., than I ever imagined.
I agree with your posts about blogs, Scott, but didn't see anything about adding one's blogs to RSS feeds. There are several free ones out there, and my friend's business increased 400% within 60 days of sending his blogs to various RSS feeds.
Scott, you can probably tell Denise more about the how-to of this. Or Denise, you can go to my friend's blog (www.4webresults.com/blog) and read his articles about RSS feeds.

I use Wordpress (http://www.WordPress.org). It's open-source, and it's the #2 most popular blog software (i.e., code that you run on your own site, as opposed to a hosted service like Blogger), behind MovableType (http://www.movabletype.org).
There's a lot of info at their site, but it's kind of techie-oriented. For something a bit more readable, check out http://weblogs.about.com/od/wordpressindex
Having my own software allows me to do all kinds of cool things using dynamic queries. See, for example, http://www.onlinebusinessnetworks.com/online-social-networks-guide/ryze.php, which shows in the right sidebar all the most recent posts from our blog which reference Ryze, or http://www.onlinebusinessnetworks.com/scott-allen, which shows only my posts, not my coauthor's. I can also create RSS feeds on the fly for any search like that, e.g., just posts in a particular category.
That's just a sample of some of the things you can do if you're running software on your own site.

It works just like a regular search, and you can have it search news only, web only, or both (I recommend news only unless you want a ton of stuff coming in). You're only allowed a certain number of alerts, but you can use the word "OR" to cover multiple sites in a single alert.
So, for example, I have an alert set on:
"online networking" OR "social networking" OR "online business networking" OR "social network" OR "social networks"
Yes, plurals are different, and there's a maximum of 10 words total (not counting the OR's) per search.
It's incredibly easy, and one of the most valuable tools on the web, I think.

The problem with Blogger is that it doesn't have a lot of the stuff you really need to get the most out of blogging built in and/or switched on by default.
Start with this article on "How to Network with Blogger":
http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=720&topic=-1
And then follow it up with my "How to Network with Your Blog, Part 2", which includes enabling some of the specific things that Blogger doesn't have on by default (it may be a little out-of-date -- I think they've made a couple of things on/available since then, but it'll show you what all to check for).

I SO relate! I'm working 40+ billable hours a week right now for clients, plus finishing the book, plus working on the next set of classes and trying to do some product development!
That's why I focus on bang for the buck. Pitching is really, really time-consuming. If you can outsource it to a PR person or even a VA -- great. But if not, the other gets very good results, and you know that every person you talk to is qualified -- already covering the topic. And a lot of what you write in will get published -- many post the comments immediately, directly below the article.
