Last question, did you miss out this weekend?
Many of you received that great discount this past weekend to grab all my 15+ ebooks and videos and coaching for 29$ and I received a few emails from those that missed out. Sorry, that promo went fast and has now expired. But there are still a few more discounts available for this package at 47$, discount code BBSK47. These remaining coupons will probably be gone by today.

More to Come! LaShanda Henry | @sistasense

We Inspire … do you?

I did it. With a few quick key strokes, I joined the growing number of wonderful women posting their inspirational stories on Pepsi We Inspire, a community blog for African American Women. Pepsi’s new community is quickly building a buzz. It includes icons Queen Latifah, Raven-Symoné, Thandie Newton, Keyshia Cole, Dr. Robin L. Smith and Taraji Henson. It also includes a social component, that always each and everyone of us to become storytellers, sharing stories of inspiration on the topics of beauty, laughter, joy, hope, wisdom, and love. I recently added my first two posts. One on love and another on wisdom.

Quiet as its kept, I’ve been building social networks for African American Women and Mothers for years now, so I clearly see the value of the Pepsi We Inspire community. I am slowly, but surely noticing a growing push within large companies to invest more time in marketing to the  African American community online and offline and I like that. Our spending power is great and clearly should not be ignored.

I GOT IT: The New Motorola Backflip!

I just got the new Motorola Backlip! While I don’t normally do mobile / techie posts, I couldn’t resist. This phone is sweet! And you can not be a social media marketing expert without a good smart phone. I’m a simple gal, so what I really wanted was a QWERTY pad, which this phone has plus the integrated twitter, facebook, social media aps. It’s also cool that it folds open and has a 5.0 mega pixel camera. I put my old BlackBerry to rest ages ago, and was secretly waiting to get an iphone BUT I jumped on this one because it really does have everything I am looking for. This is officially my first Android Smart Phone, I’ll test it out and just might post my findings in a few days.

Are you Starting Up or Starting Over?

This past week, I received quite a few emails from women wanting to start their business up or over; interested in my advice. When I get these requests, I like to bring them to your attention (just in case you were also in the same boat). They generally have reviewed my videos and/or my extensive eBook library and are looking to learn how to better market their businesses online.

As a matter of fact, I just got this email a few days ago:

Hi LaShanda,

I was wondering , I have an on-line biz for a while now. I did well then i hit a dry spell. I was thinking of doing your start up sista 30 day $79 or do you think I should do the other bundle discount that you for 15+ Ebooks and 30 video tutorials for $97.00? I might be better to start all over again reinvent myself and my business and get my customers back. – R.R.

While I did decide last year, to take the bulk of my eBooks and combine them into the Black Business Starter Kit, I decided to take it up a notch for 2010. In addition to my 15+ Marketing eBooks, the Starter Kit now includes 3 eCourses: Startup Sista (starting your business online), Selling On Social Networks (social media marketing for beginners), and How to Find Customers Online (the name says it all). I also decided to add my latest three eBooks in the How to Make Money Online Series: How to Make Your First $1000, How to Make Money MLM and Network Marketing as well as How to Make Money Coaching. I really wanted to make sure that if you are in my circle and you wanted to start up or start over, I gave you a well rounded collection of eBooks and online video tutorials that explained exactly what I did to market, build, and profit from my business online.

The new Starter Kit is $197, but for the next few days I am offering it to my sistasense readers and BBWO members for $99. Click here for details. Offer expires after first 50 downloads or 3/12/10, whichever one comes first.
