http://JohnAssaraf.com

As a teenager, John Assaraf risked the consequences of a turbulent lifestyle that could have easily led to jail or to the morgue. In his quest to overcome his challenges and fulfill his desire to live a purposeful and meaningful life, he discovered a unique passion for brain research and quantum physics as they relate to achieving success in business and life.

Today John shares that passion with audiences worldwide. He is one of the experts featured in the hit film and book The Secret, and helped launch it into a worldwide phenomenon (for which Simon & Shuster ordered the largest second printing in its history – 2 million copies) through his appearances on Larry King Live, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Anderson Cooper 360° and other major media outlets. John is also one of the Marshall Goldsmith School of Management’s Distinguished Thought Leaders.

In the last 20 years, John has built four multi-million dollar companies, including:

* RE/MAX of Indiana, which now has more than 1,500 sales associates, who collectively generate more than $5 billion a year in sales and are paid more than $120 million in commissions annually
* Bamboo.com, a start-up that attracted over 100,000 clients in less than a year and generated more than $30 million in revenues within 10 months. Bamboo then merged with Ipix and went on to become the world’s leading provider of online virtual tours including the imaging infrastructure for Internet companies like eBay.
* John is now applying his entrepreneurial drive as founder of OneCoach, a company that is helping thousands of entrepreneurs and small-business professionals grow their revenues so they can achieve financial freedom and live extraordinary lives.

John’s personal passions are his family, spirituality, exercise, cooking, travel, and helping entrepreneurs understand how to incorporate the psychological and strategic sides of building a successful business and life.

Marketing & Social Media Queen~ Denise Cassino

March 27, 2010 - 8:22 am No Comments

Maureen G. Mulvaney, better known as MGM, Amazon Best Selling Author of The Women’s Millionaire Club (http://www.TheWomensMillionaireClub.com) celebrates and honors the Marketing Genius of Denise Cassino.

“My original Book Launch of The Women’s Millionaire Club, was quite successful as my book became an Amazon Best Seller. The Challenge was that I spent hundreds of hours and tons of money figuring it all out.

I watched another author, also become an Amazon Best Seller, but she breezed through the process because she had a Secret Weapon–Denise Cassino.

I’ve learned my lesson–to create a Highly Successful and Profitable Book Launch and Internet Marketing campaign I hired Denise Cassino. You Should, too.” ~ Maureen G. Mulvaney, MGM

Denise Cassino ~Website Design, Web Marketing and Publicist

Denise Cassino is the CEO of Wizardly Web Designs and Marketing, a Website Design and Internet Marketing Firm. With a tremendous subscriber list, Denise can easily reach thousands of writers and authors by email with the stroke of a key.

Denise works as YOUR Marketing Partner by providing the following services:

1. WEBSITES: A must for every marketing effort. A website should be optimized with relative tags, page titles, subheadings, links, blogs and inbound links from other sites. Denise builds creative, unique and personalized websites, Denise creates banners and ads for other sites, too.

2. SOCIAL NETWORKING: Powerful networking tool for marketing. Many sites make it easy to build contacts and notify them of upcoming or past events. These are important to draw visitors to Virtual Book Tours, radio shows, and book launches. Denise sets up accounts with the most effective social networks.

3. BLOG: Centerpiece of your campaign. If used properly, every blog entry links back to the owners web pages at least 3 times per entry. This alerts the search engines that there is new content available. As more and more links point to a given site, the search engines give the site a higher rating. 70% of what search engines look for is popularity. Denise builds and maintains the blog, frequently adding content.

4. PRESS RELEASES: Announce relevant and important news and events. When properly constructed and written, they will garner the attention of reporters looking for stories. These Press Releases must be submitted to press release sites on the Internet for maximum exposure. Denise writes and distributes the press releases.

5. PRESS KITS: All authors, speakers and personalities need a Press Kit or Media Kit. This includes the persons photo/s, biography, and possible topics of discussion; if a book is highlighted, cover art, synopsis, reviews and a sample chapter are important inclusions. Denise creates and distributes the Press Kit.

6. VIRTUAL BOOK TOURS: Replace the in-person book signings. These are events on the Internet hosted by website owners and bloggers who each promote one leg of the tour by including info from the media kit, written interviews and more. These must be targeted to an audience receptive to the book genre. Denise arranges the Virtual Book Tours.

7. EMAIL LISTS: Help sell books and grow businesses. Opt-in pages lure visitors with the promise of something free—a report, a book, an eBook, etc. In exchange, the visitor must opt-in with his contact information. Denise creates the opt-in page and helps create the free item giveaway.

Latitude (Extract)

March 24, 2010 - 5:01 am No Comments

Latitude was commissioned by Parabola as part of Dead Reckoning, an exhibition commemorating the 250th anniversary of the birth of Capt William Bligh. Focussing on the notorious mutiny on the HMS Bounty, Cotterrell constructed a simulation of Blighs historic 5,800km open boat journey taken in the ships lifeboat. Directly informed by the anecdotal and navigational notes taken from Blighs log, the panoramic first-person view charts the shifting horizon witnessed by Bligh and his companions on their travels.

The ocean is the ultimate mapping challenge: free from reference points it offers a desert of uncertainty and isolation. The same stars look down on mariners now as 250 years ago but augmented with digital information and analogue communications the electronic maps of the oceans bristle with information. Virtual markers populate the ocean floor with plotted depths, underwater mountain ranges, submerged reefs, tidal currents and volcanic activity. Traversing oceans has, like much of contemporary experience, become mediated through technology and virtual imagery.

Using simulation technology developed by KongsBerg AS, Norway and with advice and support of the Maritime Simulation Unit at South Tyneside College, Cotterrells Latitude used data recorded by Bligh in his notebook combined with oceanographic information and a vessel modelled on the original elevation drawings to render with physical accuracy the motion and view of the occupants of Blighs launch. Generated in real-time the imagery is not pre-recorded but created mathematically through the coordinates, weather, and other information available. In a sense this is a reverse engineered log-book allowing the audience to translate the notes and figures recorded in Blighs journal into sensory experience.
