Hi Andy!
I believe I'm the first Bumpzee, DoFollow....Chick in the group! So, boys...mind your manners ;-) JK. I'm honored to be around such charitable and kind professionals. I look forward to being a part of such experts in your own fields.

I just logged into Bumpzee for the first time...looking forward to a good experience!

As for writing a press release, please email me offline...I have a great opportunity that will benefit our community's online exposure to be unveiled at the end of next week, K?

Peace-all!
Ponn
BTW, since my target market are women entrepreneurs...I know I won't be a lone-ranger for long :-)

Re: Do You Want a $200 Press Release Submission With PRWeb? For Free?

Ponn Sabra — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 15:52:50 -0000

Hi Andy!

Thanks so much for the kind remarks, very generous introduction to this incredible offer, and 'test-driving' my rules first to assure everything runs smoothly...so glad I past your 'test' ;-)

I did noticed that you're officially enrolled in the Webinar (which is simply spectacular) and you've made the first-cut for next week's slots.

I agree Skype is the way to go if you don't have VoIP or are calling internationally. They also have a # in the UK.

As for my ezine, you get 1 free eReport, a 7-day free eCourse, and monthly ezine, with (very rare sporadic) emails like today's offer. My biggest complaint is that I do not send out enough updates. Then, again...that's what my blog is for, right?

Hope your readers will follow your lead. Thanks again.

Peace!

Re: Do You Want a $200 Press Release Submission With PRWeb? For Free?

As a matter of clarification Lord Matt, as a woman entrepreneur I write from a woman entrepreneur's perspective, therefore my target market is women entrepreneurs.

In fact, my book, column, blog, etc. has a huge and loyal following by males who appreciate my view-point. Even my best-selling "Empowering Women to Power Network" book, received incredible testimonials from best-selling male networking authors, who applaud my efforts to share a woman's perspective to networking itself. I'm often told it helps males understand how and why women work a certain way or the other.

PRWeb.com and I have a long-standing incredible working relationship, and they've always believed in my foremost charge that we must "empower others with education and access to tips, tools and resources".

They, nor I, (and it is stated in the disclosure) are prohibiting males from participating. In my opening paragraph I stated "any online entrepreneur".

Given that women entrepreneurs still have less resources available to them, I chose to cheer and motivate women to get on the band-wagon.

Unfortunately, throughout my journeys yesterday (and I have even commented on other blogs) about why men read my post and quickly sign-up, but I found women, read, go, come back, read again...sign-up or don't sign-up at all. This has completely got me dumb-founded!

Also, I see that women who have large lists or blogs, also signed-up but didn't share the news, which was always perplexing...honestly, I was saddened by this fact.

Nonetheless, Lord Matt, I'm glad you stopped by my blog, and I appreciate the fact that you'd still recommend it even though you feel the offer doesn't fit with you personally.

All the best to you.

Re: Never Tried PRWeb? What if you get $200 toward your first Press Release?

Ponn Sabra — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 22:14:30 -0000

Hi Vlad!

Thanks so much for helping to spread the news! WOW...your 'short & sweet' post got more diggs than my full-post. Not even "1" for me :-(

But, I am *not* sad at all...because however the message gets out, and the more people can take advantage of this program.

BTW, the BumpZee NoFollow Community is 'knocking the socks off' in promoting this campaign. You guys rocks! And, literally--its the men filling the rooms faster. While it was intended to target first women entrepreneurs...they're not signing-up even after reading the post. Hmmm...

Interesting dynamic, huh?

BTW, your blog is great. I always learn from anything I read ov'r here. Keep up the great blogging!

To our success & empowerment,
Ponn

Re: Anticipating My First $200 Level PRWeb Press Release

Ponn Sabra — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 17:09:22 -0000

An extremely thorough post Vlad. Thank you for the mention!

Did you just take my notes and transcribe them? Just Kiddin'

Please note that one can utilize PRWeb.com with a $10 - $79 donation. Although you will not have access to most (if any) of the services listed above.

Hoping you can "track" your results for ROI via your own web stats. Have you asked Mario about this?

Another great feature, is that you can edit (and submit for review) any of your press releases. Therefore, if you can't figure out how to 'track' a particular URL now when your press release goes live, and you figure it out later down the road. You can update your press release thereafter.

Congrats Vlad!
I admit, I'm falling behind in my follow-up in this experiment. And, the #s are quickly changing...ya need a lot more to just get on the Top 100 list. Hmm...I know I have to reconsider structuring my time back to this project.

Re: Podacsting With PRWeb Press Releases

I used it for the first-time last month and I'm very happy with the number of downloads.

Also, the quality of PRWeb Podcast and their 3 highly-talented staff members made for an excellent experience. I'll definitely be using this service more often. Here's my sample.

Congrats on your move to WP Sara!

It is simply the best decision I've made ALL year. I just moved a little 33 days ago, my traffic, subscribers, community, clients, *Everything* has seen dramatic differences.

I know what its like to have a huge To-Do list. Some pointers are, I applied all my SEO Tips Marathon posts to achieve my success. Or, you can simply read my daily posts from March 15th to today, to see exactly what I implemented. I arrived to WP with alexa ranking of ~2mil...look at me today. I had NO technorati ranking, and now I'm soaring!

Stay posted, Okay!?

The best of luck.

Re: If Gap Needs a Niche

Thanks John for your post. I shared with my fellow women entrepreneurs that the #1 place I started creating a niche online was article marketing, particularly at one directory. For details: http://empowerwomennow.blogspot.com/2007/02/17-...

Re: How to Write a Persuasive News Release

Ponn Sabra — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 06:48:48 -0000

Hi Michael!

Nice resources, thanks.

I can't agree with Joan enough, and yes, her work is a must-subscribe/must-read!

Here are a few resources you and your readers would definitely appreciate, as great follow-up material:

1. PRWeb.com and I have been giving away $200 PRWeb.com Premium press releases away since April 2007, details for anyone to claim theirs today are here. By the way, prior to our launch, PRWeb.com has never offered any one a gift/bonus of this magnitude before. We have an unique partnership that I treasure, and feel humbled to have.

2. I have an unique Online Press Release series that includes topics like:

a. Online Press Releases vs. Offline (with diagrams showing the difference in marketing reach both have.

b. Online Press Releases - How-to Target Your Ideal Client/Customer/Reader

c. Online Press Release *are* Cheaper, Better, Faster than running a Pay-per-click campaign.

d. The Internet's Ultimate List of Online Press Release Distribution Centers, ranked by Google PageRank with 1-3 line descriptions of each service

3. Lesley Spencer-Pyle, is a dear colleague/friend of mine and she writes incredible online and offline press releases. Having been a Public Relations Specialist prior to starting her home-based business, HBWM.com, she has years of experience in writing press releases that gets attention. She also knows a great opportunity when she sees one, and has herself capitalized on her free $200 PRWeb.com press release through me, and we both actively promote this offer to her members; because it includes a PRWeb.com 1-hour webinar that teaches you exactly how to utilize all the resources with its premium package. Having used their services for over 2.5 years, I was surprised to learn anything new, but in fact, learned a great deal from this webinar. Lesley agrees that with technology changing, the webinar was ideal for even the seasoned PR Copywriter that she is.

Hope these resources help ;-)

To our success & empowerment,
Ponn

P.S. I'm sure you don't remember me Micheal, but I submitted my press release to your forums when I started out early in 2005, and was ripped apart by many members. This was great education, by the way ;-) I was a student of Alice Seba then, and I find that forum thread still survives in Goggle searches to remind of my humble beginnings online. :-)

My point is: I couldn't write a "decent" online press releases back then (though I wrote them for years as an offline government official), and now here I am a well-paid search engine optimized online press release copywriter, I'm an Evangelist educating and promoting everyone the web (particularly online business owners, such as internet marketers and bloggers who do not appreciate press releases) about their grave impact as a optimal internet marketing technique, and have a unique partnership with one of the web's greatest online distribution centers: PRWeb.com.

How? Because I write and publish regular and consistent online press releases. I started off writing them weekly 2.5 years ago, and now I write them at least monthly.

PRWeb.com has the technical resources and incredible customer services, to help all their clients write editorially-acceptable press releases, and ones that are read. Every single press release is read by an editor and *must* achieve an editorial score of 4 of 6 to be published. This human-barrier helps any novice copywriter (a) learn the craft of writing a press release and not over-sell in an "ad" format, (b) learn the art of writing press releases for the spiders *and* traditional media outlets.

Re: Flexible Rubber Keyboards for Your Computer

This is so awesome!

We just got a 37" HDTV this weekend and set it up to our wireless PC.

But, having to lug around our wireless keyboard to the couch is such a pain in the butt...hmm, any rubber wireless mice available ;-)

Great comparison post too. Which one do have, if any yet?

Re: Create PDF’s With Google Docs

Ponn Sabra — Fri, 09 Mar 2007 11:33:15 -0000

Hi Lynette.

Since this post I've been using Google docs along with my gmail. It's a great prg, thanks! (As an author/writer, the only problem is I need a "word counter", so I have to cut & paste into Word anyways).

Anyways, because of this post I also connected with Jen--an incredible SEO/IM Specialist. She far exceeds the capabilities of a typical VA.

I'm so glad I'm one-person away to implementing many of your useful, IM strategies. We're so excited about the relaunch of my website/blog on March 15th.

So, a Big Thank you for being you--Lynette!

Re: The Ultimate Guide to Productivity

Ponn Sabra — Thu, 03 May 2007 20:30:03 -0000

Hi Leigh!

Great points. Thanks for sharing your research on this topic. I'm a big fan to getting up early morning before the house begins to buzz.

But, I'm finding that taking an one-hour nap here to there throughout the day or night, wakes me up to some of my best work. Sounds kindof unconventional, but I can't toss and turn in bed if I happen to wake up so I get up and write.

Speaking of memes--didn't you tag me about a week ago too? Still trying to fit that post in ;-)

BTW, I thought of you today, when you recommended 'kicking everyone out of he house'...with the awesome weather creeping up, it was much easier to have them play in the yard for a couple hours while I tapped on my keyboard. So, see you do have some good "productivity" tips afterall!

Don't be so hard on yourself!

Peace, Ponn

P.S. Don't forget to credit Ben at his original post you initiated this meme:
