Good luck!! Now, STEP #1: go get your copy of How To Sell When Nobody’s Buying FIRST! 😉
Hi Mari,
Just ordered my copy of Dave’s new book. Looking forward to reading it and going big and going viral.
Speaking of that, here are my responses to your questions. Thanks so much for the opportunity. Hope to hear from you soon!
1. Where you’re feeling stuck with Facebook/Twitter/social media.
As a child, I would lunge into the water without even considering the temperature. Now, I daintily stick my foot in only to pull it right back out because the water is cold. (Funny, though, the water is probably the same temperature as it always has been, yet it never seemed cold as a child.) This is how I have approached social marketing. I dip my pinky toe in to test the water and then I pull it out fearful of getting cold. I’d love to take a huge cannonball leap right in though.
I’m also stuck in how to attract, connect and develop relationships with my ideal target. Often, I silence my presence because of fear.
2. How you think your business would benefit most from a rapid immersion in high-level social marketing training.
My business would benefit because it would align with our mission of helping others. YOUR high-level social marketing training would reinforce our message of “How can we help you?” rather than “What’s in it for me?”
3. Why I should pick you as the winner of this scholarship.
I want to see a world of where we no longer just see the changes or want to be the changes. I want a world where we lead the changes we desire with family, business and life. And, the first steps are service and gratitude. This is how I want to connect through social media. This is how I want to connect with you as you and your branding illuminates both service and gratitude.
Because I’ll literally jump in an ice cold pool to play big and be bold. 🙂 Brrr….but I’m ready for it!
What an incredible contest offer Mari to order a book that will again be a big hit for Dave Lakhani. Definitely looking forward to reading the chapter you contributed! 🙂

Hi, here is my part for the scolarship contest!
1. I’m feeling stuck with converting my contacts & relations from Twitter/Facebook/social media into leads and I’m also stuck on how I can monetize it.
2. I think I am a quick learner (have a PhD) but some piece of my puzzle is missing since I’m still find my business struggeling with social medai. I think I need a real mentor that can show me the way, step by step, individually, how and what I should do to turn my business around with social media. I think Social Media Success summit is a good start with all the knowledge but the mentoring part is the think I’m missing. Someone that can give advice based on my specific needs and desires.
3.I know my business would be takin of enormously when I get all the pieces of the puzzle togheter and I’m very sure that a mentor like You Marie, can help me to do that. I have seen a lot of what you have accomplished with social media and I really think you are a brilliant social media marketer and great leader in this industry!
I hope I can be the selected since this kind of coaching is priced above what I have to spend on my business at the moment.
Have a wonderful day and take care!

PS. I am buying the book from Amazon at the same time as i write this so if you can’s see it immediately I can assure you that I’ve got it. 🙂

Mari –
I love your stuff and I would to be able to win a spot in your training. Here is my entry:
1. I have learned a lot in the past year with Social Media and I believe I have a lot to offer as a Edutainer teaching people how to get started with Social Media themselves. I’m feeling stuck in integrating all the Social Media options and driving traffic.
2. I am a very fast learner despite my age 🙂 and I feel my business would benefit immensely from more exposure that your training in social media would provide. I am basically at ground zero with the Edutainer concept and can see this taking off.
3. You should pick me because I have a drive that won’t quit, I have a fantastic attitude and I’m loving what I’m doing. I am a true entrepreneur that can bring a lot to the group.
Can’t wait to read your book – going to pick it up now! Thanks so much for the opportunity!
Please don’t publish my entry.
Thanks!

Hi Mari! WOW, I am extra excited that I stopped by to read your blog. This is THE opportunity I’ve been dreaming of. I have been working the past few months to build my own business specializing in Twitter PR and blog giveaways. I have so much to learn about marketing, yet I know I have the starting skills and the desire to be successful in this business!
1- The area I feel stuck in is this: Twitter and Facebook are amazing marketing tools, but how do I measure campaign successes and my own worth?
2- My business would benefit from your training and coaching because my desire is to be teachable and use the skills to the benefit of many businesses. I seek to help companies, blogs, and products network through conversations and connection on social media outlets. My business benefits when I’m most benefiting other hardworking businesses!
3- You should pick me for this prestigious scholarship because I have already committed myself to succeeding this field: I quit my full-time job to work at home full-time in social media PR and marketing. I do not want to go at it alone and would love coaching. Teamwork is very enjoyable for me and I want to surround myself in a network with those who are experts– that’s you! I can promise you that I would pass on the knowledge as I am able. I consider coaching to only be successful if the coached can become the coach! 🙂 Of course I’ll be a hard worker because I’m all-in, but I also hope to contribute to and grow the field of high-level social media marketing. Thank you so much for your consideration!
Hi Mari,
I got my Step one done! Here is my Amazon order # for you to verify (104-0842294-1905010) 🙂 I’m super duper excited. Here are the answers to your questions. (Plz don’t publish)
1. Where you’re feeling stuck with Facebook/Twitter/social media.
~In my time on Twitter & Facebook with my tweets and personality, I’ve developed a good following of active and engaged people. I just haven’t been able to on a large scale solidify my brand, establish/expand word of mouth marketing and have it result in significant income.
2. How you think your business would benefit most from a rapid immersion in high-level social marketing training?
To be able to learn how to utilize all the tools of social media marketing effectively by someone who has had massive success doing it would TRANSFORM my business in the scope of influence and income I am making from it.
3. Why I should pick you as the winner of this scholarship?
Since the car accident in January ’08, I’m still not 100% physically (herniated discs in my neck & near daily headaches) to be able to work a job let alone full time hours on here with social media, though I strive to do my best every day to be visible and give value.
When I got active in social media in September and learned of the Social Marketing Mastery class before I haven’t been able to afford it. We’ve been financially staying afloat during all of this with some of the income I’ve been bringing in…but it is by no means a full time income Mari.
Since I can’t get employed, social media marketing is the only way for me to bring in money at this time…I’d really like to make it a permanent transition from employed to self-employed at this time.
I’ve been voraciously learning as much as I can in the time I’ve been doing this Mari. Being able to learn from you would radically change our situation at home and my position online. Like I said in my tweet to you a few days ago, I’ve looked up to what you were doing while RV’ing and gave me the vision that it was possible to do this full time and do what I love.
And knowing that such high level immersion in social marketing for me would solidify my transition from needing an income from a job and truly could earn a full time living online and be able to travel North America in an RV if the settlement from the car accident is what we hope it will be next year or so.
Mari, I wish I could express to you really what it would mean to win this opportunity and all that it could do for my business. I know you have a lot of great people to choose from. I’m keeping my fingers and toes crossed to win and to be able to connect with you on a level beyond Twitter & Facebook.
🙂
Thank you for the opportunity.

Ordered my book this morning, can’t wait to dig in! Congratulations.
1.)I’ve been getting lost in the maze of social networking, with no clear path to follow, having a hit or miss(mostly miss) effect. 2)I have a new project in the works that would benefit greatly from social marketing in getting the word out,and creating co-creative relationships. 3) I really enjoy your style and am quick study. I take consistent action and would be an awesome before and after testimonial for your program.
All the Best,
Cathy

1. Where you’re feeling stuck with Facebook/Twitter/social media.
Trying to keep up with all the design changes…
2. How you think your business would benefit most from a rapid immersion in high-level social marketing training.
I cut back on my social marketing recently because I’m changing my branding… “thetimediva” was extremely limiting especially since we go way beyond time. wanted a slight gap between the relaunch. The goal was the end of June and it look like we’re a few ahead of schedule. I will be re-doing my facebook page and reserved a new fan page Ann Rusnak – Productivity and Focus which I need to develop.
I worked on our new program “Focus Mojo System” and got great several case studies that I be putting on the fan page
3. Why I should pick you as the winner of this scholarship.
Cuz you like me 🙂 I’ve learned so much from you and everytime I apply something I see results.
With the many techniques and your mentoring, my business is now growing and the majority of new clients (including repeats now) came from Facebook.
With your continued guidance, I know I can reach more solo entrepreneurs/sm biz owners to show them how get out of overwhelm, focus on their bigger picture and transform their lives by taking control of their day.
Thanks so much for all you’ve done.
