Take a 2 Minute Shine
Posted by Christina Hills on Jun 1, 2009 in Musings
I’m at the Boston airport waiting to fly home to California. As I was walking to my gate I passed by a shoe shine guy shouting out:
“Take a Two Minute Shoe Shine!”
That made me pause.
Had he said: “Get Your Shoes Shined” it would not have gotten my attention.
But the fact that he added “Two Minute” convinced me to stop and have him shine my black shoes.
So think about your headlines and ads, and see of you can add an easy benefit for your customers.
And by the way, he did a great job.
Keeping Control of Your Business
Posted by Christina Hills on Apr 12, 2009 in Musings
It’s Sunday afternoon on Easter Day. My husband and daughter are outside putting up her new trampoline, and I thought I’d make a short blog post.
Many folks have been pulling back lately because of the economy. They are not spending as freely as they used to. Cutting costs, and watching their bottom line. This is important to keep your business thriving.
Thats why it’s also important for you, the business owner, to know how to keep your business running. Specifically I mean it’s important to be able to “Do it Yourself”!
This is why I teach WordPress in the Website Creation Workshop
Although I’m a big fan of oursourcing: getting others to do that which you don’t have time for or don’t enjoy. I’m a big believer in knowing how to do the core things you need to do to keep your business running. i.e. How to create pages and posts on your website.
So if you don’t know how to create a website with WordPress, I highly recommend you head over to my other site and check out the resources there: www.WebsiteCreationWorkshop.com
Feedburner Email Sign Up Box
Posted by Christina Hills on Mar 28, 2009 in Musings
When starting an online business, it’s a good idea to build an email opt in box, so that you can collect email addresses from people who visit your website or blog. As an entrepreneur, you need to come up with a good opt in offer, that will entice your visitors to give you their name and email address.
One of the challenges for business owners is to decide which email marketing system. I use Aweber and 1ShoppingCart to send out messages to my subscribers and to my customers.
However, I’m testing out using Feedburner to collect email opt ins. It’s not as powerful as Aweber, but it’s free.
Here is a test of it below:
So when you enter your email address in the box above, you will get blog updates in your email account. (you can unsubscribe at any time)
This is similar to Aweber, however Aweber is more powerful, in that you can do extra broadcasts to your list, and you can have an autoresponder series with it.
Here is the aweber opt in box below
OMG! It’s been 2 months since I’ve posted
Posted by Christina Hills on Mar 23, 2009 in Musings
I cannot belive it. I setup this blog around New Years of last year, and I just looked an I haven’t posted in 2 months!
Well I’m not really surprised. You see I started my Website Creation Workshop February 10th and have been focused on my students in the class. I’m teaching them how to use Wordpress as a website OR a blog. It’s way fun, and I really love that the class is 8 modules long. It gives me the chance to really get to know them well.
The other thing is I now have 3 blogs! One for Shopping Cart Training, and one for my Wordpress training.
Plus with Twitter and Facebook….well there is a lot to do.
Only 2.5 Weeks Left
Posted by Christina Hills on Jan 24, 2009 in Musings
It’s only 2.5 weeks left till my Website Creation Workshop class starts! I’m as excited about this course as the students.
The class is going to focus on building websites with Wordpress and having fun! I almost want people to think if this as an ‘art’ class where they will get to build their online presence, and have a chance to be creative and fun in the process.
It’s really a coaching program and a training course all rolled up into one!
Each time I teach it, I add more to the course, and hense, the price goes up. This will probably be the last time it will be sold at this price of $997. If you’d like to find out more about the class, then click the banner add on the right side of this page.
What Makes You Happy?
Posted by Christina Hills on Jan 16, 2009 in Musings
What makes you happy?
What do YOU like to work on?
Take a look at your day: what are you working on right now? What are you avoiding right now?
These are important questions to ask yourself, as if you are clear on the answers you will get clearer with your success.
Today I conducted 3 Teleseminars and 1 private coaching call. And I was a very happy camper!
You see I love teaching and training via teleseminars and webinars. And when I have a day filled with that I’m happy.
So look at what makes you happy?
And then figure out how YOU can make money at that thing!
Look at what you avoid and what makes you grumpy.
And hand off that stuff to a virtual assistant who can do it.
You’ll be a happy camper if you do
Setting up my New Wordpress Workshop
Posted by Christina Hills on Jan 10, 2009 in Musings
Well, I’ve been a busy bee since I first setup this blog!
I’ve been setting up the ‘classroom’ for my new workshop “The Website Creation Workshop”!
I call it ‘new’, but it’s not really new. This will be the 3rd time I’ve taught it. But it feels new because I’ve been teaching about shopping carts for soooo looong, that it’s refreshing to teach something new.
I’ve been focusing on gathering testimonials and case studies from my students, and on my free preview calls for people who are interested in the course.
If you want to read more about the course just go here: http://www.TheWebsiteCreationWorkshop.com to opt in for the preview calls.

Get on that Bicycle and Ride
Posted by Christina Hills on Dec 31, 2008 in Musings
When doing ANYTHING online, or offline too, it’s important to just ‘get on the bicycle and ride’!
What I mean by that is that you can read, study, watch, etc other people with their online businesses, and that’s great. But the real knowledge and testing will come from actually DOING it!
For example, yesterday I launched this new blog and went to Twitter to invite people to view it. I got a comment from Kim Dushinski right away. That was great! and it showed me that I was missing the ’subscribe to comments’ plugin. So I quickly installed it.
My point here: get going with your website/blog/shoppingcart/autoresponders/products etc! You’ll shift/fix and adjust what needs to happen as you interact with your audience.
