It’s entry into a world of the business elite, an exclusive ‘members-only’ club if you will.
This is Madison Who’s Who – a website that will increase your exposure by plugging you into a comprehensive network of business leaders and professionals.
Playing off the old adage, “It’s not what you know. It’s who you know.” Madison Who’s Who provides a forum for executives and professionals to introduce themselves, trade industry secrets, and even build business partnerships.
The website’s primary component is its exhaustive, yet user-friendly electronic registry of business professionals from virtually every industry and specialty.
Other services and perks it provides:
• Bulletin board, including job listings and networking opportunities
• Commemorative wall plaque and Certificate of Recognition
• Leather bound registry
• Corporate membership logo
• Business news updates
• Topical blog updates, including up-to-date information about the site’s network of business professionals.
Madison Who’s Who is not open to everyone. In fact, membership doesn’t come easy. All candidates, both domestic and foreign, must endure a nomination and an evaluation process. That is not to say you must rely on a colleague to nominate you.
Anyone can nominate themselves by simply submitting a resume. However, the true test is passing the rigorous evaluation process—and not everyone makes the cut.
Once you’re in, members are invited to complete a bio that’ll include a picture, professional information, education, and a little summary about yourself. Samples of these bios are conveniently available for non-membership viewing.
It is suggested that members include as much information about themselves as they can. This will give other people a better sense of who you are and what you do.
“Featured Members,” “VIP Members,” and “Members of the Year,” are great registries that are open to both members and non-members. A quick glance at these elite lists gives any curious onlooker that itch to join and be a part of something big.
Just take a look at who’s a part of this league of extraordinary professionals:
• Alexa Abowitz, an attorney at Cetrulo & Capone LLP, who’s favorite publication is The Chronicle of Higher Education.
• Benjamin Salvaty, a partner at Hill, Farrer, & Burrill in Los Angeles, California.
• Prof. Luis Samayoa, an assistant professor of clinical pathology at the University of Kentucky.
• Lili-Charlotte Sarnoff, an international sculptor.
• Dr. Robert Acker, a microbiologist from Indiana.
• Eddie Aguinaldo, the president of Dynamic Interiors, Inc.
• Dr. Omer B. Abdelbasit, a doctor specializing in neo-natal healthcare at Security Forces Hospital in Africa.
• Liliana Abud, a television writer in Mexico.
The networking possibilities are endless with a Madison Who’s Who membership.
Sign on – get nominated- and start building exciting relationships with exceptional business leaders from around the world.
Don’t be left out.

You’ve heard all about blogs. How about social community blogs?
If you’re ready to get started with your social community blog, you really want your thoughts, ideas, comments, and information about your product or service to get out there to the masses, then listen up.
How exactly should you get your social community blog started?
Follow these very simple tips on getting started with your SC blog in 5 easy steps, and you’ll be well on your way to success.
1. Pick your first social network, and build your profile there.
Many people get started with their blog with one of the “big” ones, such as MySpace, Facebook, or Twitter. These sites allow you to develop a profile-which you should fill out as completely as possible to show that you are serious about networking and building contacts!
2. Send out “friend” or “contact” invitations.
One great way to start is to send the invitations to friends you already have in your contact list for your email. It’s pretty likely that some of those people will sign up for the social networking service that you have subscribed to, giving you more contacts or friends there.
Not all of your contacts will be interested in this type of networking, but the way to increase your visibility and gain exposure is to build up your number of “friends” online.
3. Once you’ve tried to get all of your contacts to join (and it’s likely that many of them have at this point), then start growing your list of friends and contacts within the site.
Often you can search for common interests, geographical locations, and other targeted information that will assist you in building a useful, relevant network with your blog site.
Build up more and more contacts for your blog and build up your online “community.”
This is the best way to build credibility within the social networking world.
4. Now that you’ve got your first blog site up and running smoothly, and you’re starting to build a network there, look for other blog sites and social networking sites that are out there.
Try Ning, Digg, Plaxo, or LinkedIn for more ideas.
There are literally thousands to choose from. Each one of these sites is a little bit different in terms of focus, function, or purpose, so poke around and decide which ones might fit you best.
But, whichever ones you choose, you will want to build your list of these sites up and build contacts on each one-this will ultimately drive a lot of traffic to your site, based on how popular you can become with the social networking sites.
5. After you’ve gotten your blog site started, you will need to provide regular updates.
With multiple sites, this can become very time consuming, so it may help to have a rotation or a plan to keep current with all of them.
Add information consistently, so that your profiles stay current and lively. Join discussion forums, comment on other people’s blogs, leave trackbacks, exchange links, ask questions that stimulate conversations, and do everything you can to increase your contacts and network connections.
Do you have any other great ideas about how to get a social community blog started?
If you are a blogmaster (webmaster) you know how tedious it can be to accomplish all the tasks that ensure your blog(s) are getting indexed correctly.
Well, Google has made it much easier. They recently turned each of the Webmaster Tools into “feeds” that can be instantly added to your iGoogle homepage.
Once these “gadgets have been added to your iGoogle homepage, you’ll have access to all the blogs (or websites) in your Google webmaster account for instant stats on:
1. Crawl Errors
2. Content Analysis
3. Top Search Queries
4. Subscriber Stats
5. What Googlebot Sees
6. External Links
7. Internal Links
8. Site Links
From this page it’s just one click to tons of data that will keep your blogs and Google on good terms. This is a serious time-saver! And, if you are like most busy bloggers (me) and have sadly neglected this stuff, you (we) have no excuse now.
To find the Google Webmaster gadgets: Go to your Google Webmaster Tools account. Click on any verified site, click Tools, then click Gadgets.
So, you are already near the end of January 2008 and what does your blog have to show for “Great in 2008″?
Well, I am sure that you’ve had to make some tough decisions already:
“Do I buy a coaching program and learn more about getting some server-melting traffic to my site?”
“Should I increase the scope of my content so that I can more people and maybe get more traffic?”
“Or… maybe I need to narrow down my focus so I can rank on the first page for something?”
Those Are All Great Questions But…
Sometimes (I think most of the time) you need someone, with experience or insight, to help you answer those questions and make life-changing breakthroughs. That is how it works for me anyway.
Every time I venture into a new project, I seek out a mentor (or coach). I have found that doing so, in the beginning of an endeavor, allows me to progress to the end goal much more quickly.
That may seem obvious but the fact is, when it comes to online marketing, most folks waste $500 - $1000 (and countless hours) on a wide-variety of courses, seminars and programs before connecting with a “three-dimensional coach” (a real live person) which would cost about the same but deliver 10x the ROI.
Why? I think it is because most people can justify spending $50 here and there, 10 to 20 times over. But it takes a lot of discernment to see the up-front value of one relatively large transaction that gets you into a quality coaching program.
You Might Need a Doctor
If you are contemplating the hiring of an online marketing or an authority site building coach, I recommend Dr. Rachna Jain at NetSmartCoaching.com. Yes, she is a doctor, a psychologist in fact, and her online experience as a coach with the Authority Site Center is quite impressive.
Rachna’s unique background allows her to help a variety of online entrepreneurs with both the technical and mental barriers to building an authority site, getting traffic and, of course, increasing sales and conversion efficiency.
By the way, her coaching program is not a large “membership” site of hundreds of folks learning together. It is actually a more one-on-one approach catered to people who appreciate frequent, personalized help.
To find out why Rachna is uniquely qualified and exactly what the coaching program offers, take a listen to this 29 minute audio interview I did with her and then visit NetSmartCoaching.com.
