How to Write a Professional Bio that's Profitable

Learn how to make an awesome professional bio that brings in the dough!

Everyone wants more money right? We can be passive all day long and say, 'We're good. We have what we need to meet our needs. And that's enough.' But how many of you know that in order to be in business, stay in business, and be successful in business, you need working capital and a consistent cash flow? Anyone who's BUSINESS-MINDED will know that you need money to reach your hands in order to not only leave a legacy for your family but to reach those at large who need our message or service.

So today, I am starting a video series on ways to spruce up your professional marketing material in a way to see a profit in your business. It's times out in doing what seems to be all the right things but nothing to show for it. Learn these simple, but valuable tips that will skyrocket your business and make you look good!

 

Do you see the wealth transfer? I do!

Below is a video entitled: Write a Bio that's Profitable!  Writing a bio is hard work; selling yourself shouldn't be. A bio can make or break your chances of being referred, closing a deal, or even being called on to speak at an event. Click on the video to view it and be sure to comment and /or share it with others. And of course, if you have a professional need, be sure to reach out to me at UpgradeU Writing and Editing Services! ;-) 

Till Next Time,  

An exciting new business venture I've partnered with!

As many of you know, I've been a writer and author for a number of years. I've had book signings, seminars and workshops on writing and publishing, been interviewed on radio and TV, and even had contests in order to promote my books. But nothing can be as good as a marketing tool as Empower Network.

I've recently learned of this opportunity through a friend on Facebook. I'm an avid Facebooker and love learning new methods of business on there. Well, this one at first, was like any other, or so I thought. Upon looking at the corporate website and seeing all of the products they had to offer, one stuck out to me and I realized I finally found what I had been looking for. 'A Viral Blogging System'. It had all the bells and whistles and allowed me to do what I love...writing and blogging, but also set up an online business platform for another service I do...edit and proofread manuscripts and other documents (another online hustle :-)). So I said, "What do I have to lose? It's only $25 to start and $25 a month to maintain and use the system."

Well, all I can say is: it works! Not only do I get so much more traffic (because of the viral component of the system) but I've received many more sales from my editing business! I guess that $25 was worth it after all, huh?

So what do you receive when you purchase this product?

• Simplified, complete blogging and internet traffic system
• Design structure that is optimized for marketing conversions,  
• High converting lead capture pages 
• Full web hosting and free system upgrades 
• Full access to your leads and customer database 
• Full Fast Start Training series to educate you on how to start getting results by participating in our marketing platform 
• Access to our weekly training calls to help educate you on getting results.  

Again, ALL for $25 a month!

All you have to do is have a niche, a passion, a topic or topics in which to write about, write it, and publish! There you have your blog! Then watch the traffic come to you! Look at my Empower Network Blog that I use for my business, UpgradeU Writing and Editing Services!

Why am I writing about this business that I've partnered up with? Because I know how leery any business can be, especially one that claims to be a home-based business. But know this: you tried others only to see yourself losing hundreds, maybe even thousands of money, spinning your wheels at something you've never tried before. BLOGGING, everyone does, and if you haven't, once you try, you will see how easy and fun it is, especially when dollars start coming to your bank account, even while you sleep. I'm glad I was introduced to this business, and I plan to bring others to it as well.

Till next time...here's to your success!

Is it really just a DREAM?

“Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.” ~Gail Devers

Throughout your life, you acquired dreams...

 

Dreams of what you'd be when you grew up

Dreams of having a family

Dreams of the car you would ultimately want to own

Dreams of your highest accomplishment

Dreams of starting a business, non-profit, or school

Dreams of being a best-selling author, actor, ball-player, or entertainer

 

Dreams...Dreams...Dreams.

 

But how many of them actually became reality? You may be thinking that I'm telling you NOT TO DREAM... But on the contrary, I want you to continue to DREAM. Just because one particular dream did not manifest in your life doesn't mean many of the others won't either. 

 

Have you kept track of your dreams? No matter how big or small they are, all dreams are important. Worked properly, dreams go through several stages:

 

Dreams ---->   Projects ----> Programs ----> Plans ----> Goals ----> Purpose

 

But dreams can't reach its intended purpose without you taking them from off a page in your journal and onto the specified area it is supposed to go to. It needs to have an intended target. Your job is to reach for the dart and throw it in the direction it was meant to hit.

 

Once you do that, you are well on your way from just having a DREAM to living a REALITY! A life one is meant to live--full of Purpose and Meaning! Keep dreaming... they will soon become the very essence of who you are.

Until next time,

Breakthrough

"May the Lord bring you into a deep understanding of the steadfastness of Christ" -2 Thessalonians 3:5.

Most of the flight from Atlanta to Ft. Lauderdale was delightful. We sailed high, in clear skies, with nary a bump to bother us. As the pilot announced our initial descent, things began to change. The could cover in the area was thick, and we would have to go through it to land. As I peered out the window into murky grey emptiness, I felt frightened. There was nothing I could do except put my trust in the pilot and those in the control tower at Ft. Lauderdale. We bumped, were jarred and seemed to be on a roller coaster ride before we finally broke through the clouds. How relieved I was, being able to see once again, and having the smooth ride resume. Breaking through those clouds was exhilarating for me! I sighed a breath of relief. 

Life hands us cloud-banks of dark and dismal times, also. We may have some warning, as the pilot warned the passengers on the plane, or we may just hit the cloud-banks of life with a bang. Either way, the ride through them is usually bumpy and uncomfortable, to say the least. But the old saying that there is light at the end of the tunnel is so true. There is light after we ride through the cloud-banks of life. The question is, how do we weather the storm? Who do we put our trust in, as we face difficult times? Do we turn to a friend or write to Dear Abby for help? I hope we turn our eyes toward heaven, and ask God, who created this universe, for guidance and help during the cloudy times we endure. Then, when we make the transition out of darkness into His wonderful light, we can be reminded that He was with us all the while. That is very reassuring to me, and I hope it is to you, also.

Walk in Your Purpose! -Call for Submissions!

Now is the time! Are you a woman who has an extraordinary story of triumph after years of turmoil and defeat? Did life ever knock you down while trying to start a business, ministry or while caring for your household and children? And even though all of this happened, God came through and allowed you to break out and break through to your success! If that's you, then we want to hear from you!

Who should participate?
1. First-time authors who want massive exposure for their stories. Why not decide to be a published author where you can finally share the story that has been burning inside of you? You will now be the voice for so many others like you who need just that right story to set them free to walk in their purpose! This is the perfect avenue to do just that.
2. Veteran authors who see this as the perfect collaborative effort. Maybe you have not been in an anthology before and want to have another genre to write from. Or maybe you have contributed to an anthology before but feel this one will give you increased exposure.
3. Entrepreneurs and Business Leaders, all Ministers of the Gospel, Stay-at-Home Mothers, Working Mothers, Single Mothers, ALL Women!

We are currently looking for 30 women who have true stories just like this, and told in the 1st person narrative.

Live a Life of Balance

Philippians 4:5 "Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord [is] at hand." 

When was the last time you decided to do things according to what is most important to God, instead of what's always important for others? Have you stopped to ever ask yourself, "Is this something that is pleasing to God, or only pleasing to man?" Yes the promotion may help your stature and raise your salary. But who is it really benefiting? Do you find with that promotion a whole lot more responsibility that takes you away from what matters most: your time with God? your family and children? your own fulfillment in life?

God makes it very clear where our priorities should lie...

Matthew 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

God should be first place over anything we do. Without Him, our life would be imbalanced. He is the nucleus that holds all things together. When we realize that and decide to not just include Him, but make Him the very One all of our decisions are based upon, then we will see the advantages we receive from a God who holds all of the favor and blessings in His hands. You turn a job that you felt you had to have in order to get what the world had to offer into a ministry. You will influence more whether you have a title or not, and you will have more fulfillment in that job whether you received a raise or not. God becomes your source! And He is the best one to provide everything you need.

Your life will grow more in balance in:

1. Spiritual (Your relationship with God and clarity of vision in ministry)
2. Family (More closeness with your spouse and children)
3. Work (Not just a job, but a fulfilling career)
4. Health (Exercise and purposeful choices in your eating habits)
5. Relationships (More meaningful relationships with friends)
6. Self (Well-being more complete, signaling peace and tranquility)

God desires you to be prosperous and in health, even as your soul prospers (3 John 1:2, emphasis mine). You can do that with a life of balance.
