I have quite a few fun "announcements" to share with you and I'm going to give you a very valuable free gift just for reading this post, too. 😉
I'll also explain the "why" behind my decisions (plus some tips!) which will make for options & marketing angles to consider in your own business.
As part of the ClickNewz community, I welcome your thoughts & feedback. I look forward to the discussion on this post!
I've mentioned several things in several places around the web, but I haven't really made any official announcements or shared specific dates for things you can expect as we kick off the New Year together. I'm really looking forward to my plans for 2014, and particularly excited about how they will benefit you...
My 2014 Goal is to help more people see more results.
As the 2013 year has been coming to a close, I've been offering Private Brainstorming Hour sessions for only $99. The public price is $199, but that rate will be going up on Thursday January 2nd, 2014 to $299.
These one hour sessions are incredibly valuable, and this is the first time in almost 17 years in business that I've offered individual coaching or consulting.
In the sessions I've had so far we've worked out detailed marketing and monetization plans, and come up with creative angles for increasing their reach and improving their revenue. They've been a lot of fun and very productive!
I tend to over-deliver, so the one hour sessions generally go 90 minutes instead. Until January 2nd 2014 you can still secure your Private Brainstorming Hour session with me for only $99:
Order your Private Brainstorming Hour
You'll have up to six months to schedule your session, so you'll want to take advantage of the discounted rate even if you're not quite ready for personal consulting for your online business.
Simply use the discounted payment button above, then get in touch with me using the contact form on this page to schedule your session.
* I mentioned that I have never offered private one-on-one consulting or coaching in the past. So why now? Two reasons. It goes toward my goal of helping more people see more results. And in addition to being a (small) source of revenue, it improves my relationship and retention rate with those people I do work with.
That's a BIG tip I mentioned in my recent free training session: helping your market achieve results can grow your business dramatically! 😉
Changes to my Private Mastermind/Brainstorming Group
For the last 10+ years I have been quietly running a private mastermind and brainstorming group of serious action takers. The group ranges from total beginners to experienced six-figure business owners. You can read more about the group here and here (including the comments on both posts).
You can currently join us and get hands-on help with your business for only $37/month. But that option will be going away soon. I haven't decided yet if I'll also remove the monthly membership option on Thursday, January 2nd - or if I'll extend it another week or so - but I'll keep you posted on the exact close date.
Once I remove the monthly option, you'll only be able to join the group with an annual ($360) or biannual ($198) membership. If you join now you can keep your monthly rate for the lifetime of your membership, no matter how much the rates go up publicly.
* There are two main reasons I am removing the option to join on a month-by-month basis. First, because I only want serious action takers in the group that are ready to invest in themselves and make serious progress with their business over the next 6-12 months.
And second, because members get entirely too much value when they join - including instant access to my $97 Social Marketing Results training course. I don't want to attract discount seekers or people who just want to dip their toe in the water, as the quality and caliber of my group is a high priority for me. We have an awesome community!
Social Marketing Results Price Increase
The Social Marketing Results training program is currently discounted at only $77. I'll be raising the price to $97 in the New Year. Although I'm tempted to raise it to $147 due to the value of the content, the ongoing training & support, and the results members are seeing.
You can also earn 50% Instant Commission, which is paid instantly via PayPal, for recommending this in-depth Social Media training program. You can request your referral link here: https://www.jvzoo.com/affiliates/info/62377 (If you don't already have a JVzoo account, you'll simply need to create one first.)
Launch Date for "Fast Content Marketing" Live Training Program
As I mentioned in my recent Free Content Marketing Training Session, I am releasing a brand new Live Training Program on "Smart Content Marketing" that will teach you how to increase your reach dramatically through fast, easy content marketing strategies.
The live sessions will be held live on Tuesdays at Noon Eastern, running for a minimum of six weeks. All sessions will be recorded and available immediately if you prefer to learn at your own pace, and will include checklists and worksheets and downloads similar to the Social Marketing Results program.
The first session will be on Tuesday, January 21st 2014. Stay tuned for details, pricing, and a special offer to join early at a discount. 😀 You'll want to make sure you're subscribed by email so you don't miss out.

Brand New: 2014 Niche Success Blueprint
By popular demand, this year I am going to be teaching the step-by-step process for starting and running a successful (profitable!) niche business online - like I do.
I haven't worked out all the details just yet, or set up the sales page, but this is coming SOON and you'll want to check this out the minute it's released. 😉
UPDATE! See: http://www.clicknewz.com/9204/niche-success-blueprint/
Hop on my list to make sure you don't miss out on this one. It's going to be a very detailed blueprint, very step-by-step, easy to follow and implement, and insanely affordable. And it may start as soon as next week!
In Closing... (Your Free Gift)
As you can see I am still working out a few details and working on the technical setup, so stay tuned for details. I have quite a bit of sales copy to write and several pages to update. I'm using the outlines and sales copy blueprints in this copywriting course - which I highly recommend, and it's still only $17. (!!)
Ah, and one last thing: I'll be doing away with the half price offer on my 20FF Report and putting that product on JVzoo with an affiliate program. You can currently get it for only $7.47 from the link above, and I'll let you know when it's available to recommend as an affiliate via JVzoo at $14.95.
Your Free Gift:
As promised, just for taking the time to read this post, I want to give you a valuable free gift. This is a copy of my Facebook Page Marketing Checklist which will prove very helpful in getting more likes and higher engagement on your Facebook Page.
This is incredibly important right now with Facebook filtering out Page Updates heavily, causing most business owners to see dramatic decreases in activity and engagement on Facebook. Follow this checklist to get back on track quickly. 😉
Enjoy!

Best,

About Lynn Terry
I can't wait for the "Fast Content Marketing" training and the Niche Success Blueprint! Being a part of Social Marketing Results has been fun and my results have been wonderful. Thanks to you and SMR, I have an editorial calendar completed for the first quarter of 2014 and a social media strategy in place. I'm so excited for the New Year! =)
That's GREAT to hear, Wendy! 😀 Way to go!! Are you using the free planning calendar at: http://www.clicknewz.com/9079/free-blog-planner-marketing-content-calendar/ ? The Niche Success Blueprint product is ready to go, and the first training module will go out tomorrow. Very excited! You can see the link below to check it out. 😉 *cheers*
I'm glad that you plan to help even more people in 2014 because that is what everyone expects from you. Hopefully you will have a great year. Thanks for these offers.
Thank you Saqib! I'm expecting a great year - and planning on it! Wishing you an amazing, productive 2014 as well. 😉 *cheers*
Hi Lynn,
Awesome goals for 2014. I'm excited to continue learning from you...
And I'll definitely be back for more 1 on 1 calls with you!
Have an awesome new year. Catch ya in brainstorming session Thursday 🙂
Kerry
I've so enjoyed getting to know you this past year, Kerry. 😀 Today's Brainstorming Hour sessions was a FUN one. I really enjoyed it!! See you in the member's forum for more brainstorming! *cheers*
Hey Lynn,
I know we have already spoke about my niche, but I would love to be a part of the profitable step by step niche business with ya.. Can't wait for the details...
Hi Clint! I'm really excited about your niche - fun topic, and great overall plan! The Niche Success Blueprint training would be *perfect* for you, as it's a step by step "implement as you go" course that would work well with your part-time business schedule. 😉
The details are available now at: http://www.clicknewz.com/9204/niche-success-blueprint/ I'll keep an eye out for you there!
Hi Lynn,
Great information packed postep...as usual.
I did respond to you by email when you requested what we wanted to learn more abouther and our own goals for 2014.
I just have a suggestion for you that I don't know if you can implement.
My marketing budget, as well as other accounts are very low right now, due to Christmas.
I do not get paid again until the END of this week, as many others do too.
Would be able to extend your offers to the end of the week , instead of Jan 2nd, as I would love to partake in one or two of your offers ? I have a feeling that others are in the same "boat" as I am , especially after Christmas. Just a thought, Terry!
Thanks again for all of your help via your wonderful blog posts!
Happy, happy New Year!
All The Best,
Diane
Hi Diane,
Absolutely! My goal is to help as many people see results this year as humanly possible. If you miss a special, feel free to just email me directly - and we'll get you hooked up. 😉 I'm happy to do that.
To be honest, I'm running short on TIME due to the holidays, so I may have to extend the specials publicly anyway as I find time to update sales copy and checkout buttons, lol. 🙂
But like I said, just email me when you're ready, let me know what would help you most, and we'll make it happen. That goes for anyone reading along too, of course.
Glad to hear about all the changes! I'm looking forward to a fun and profitable year. Right now I'm working on my 2014 plan and that includes my 1st product!
And to everyone else, if you need year end tax deductions, this is the perfect time to purchase the above offers.
I have been part of Lynn's mastermind group well before I started working for her and I can tell you first hand you want to take advantage of everything she has to offer. I would not be where I am today without her.
Thank you, Angie. 😀 Likewise, you have been invaluable to MY business! Here's to a profitable, productive, FUN New Year! *cheers*
Happy New Year, Lynn! I am one of your biggest fans and I'm sure to be one of the many people you help with RESULTS in 2014! Hurray for you and your work! And hurray for me!
I'm looking forward to all you offer in coming months. With your assistance and my ambitious plan for 2014, I'll be truckin' and listening for the $ka-ching$ for you, me and my clients, too.
You are an inspiration and a great role model for me. So I thank you and wish you all the best for 2014!
Thank you so much, Kate! I'm very excited about the year ahead, and look forward to watching you reach YOUR goals for the year as well! 😉 *cheers*
Lynn, thank you, thank you, thank you. You are the most generous person I have ever met. I'm anxiously waiting for your Content Marketing course. If it is even half as effective as your Social Media Marketing course, we will be "blown away" with details and step-by-step. Up until now, I have been very involved in "just learning" but had decided 2014 was going to be devoted to DOING and you have inspired me to make sure I do.
I have an affiliate link set up at JVZoo - is that the same link I should use for everything you have?
My website (WordPress) was taken down and has not been "born again" but that will all change very soon! http://www.CarolConnectsPeople.co will be launched again!
2014 is going to be a GREAT year and I'm excited to get started. Thank you Lynn!
Thank you, Carol. 😀 Yes, the content marketing course will be the same format as Social Marketing Results, so it should be A LOT of fun, just like SMR! I'm amazed at the results people see implementing what I've taught there, and love continuing to watch the growth & success of those putting what they learned into action. Awesome stuff!!
The content marketing course will launch on January 21st, so I'll have details for that available soon. 😉 *cheers*
Are you still launching the Easy Unique Content course? I really hope so cause in my mind, creating content and marketing content are two different things. How is Smart Content Marketing different from Social Marketing Results?
The content marketing course will be "Fast Content Marketing" and it is taking the place of "EasyUniqueContent.com" - I just settled on a new name for it. 😉 It will be all about creating and marketing your content to increase your reach, revenue and traffic - fast!
It will be different from Social Marketing Results in that it will focus on content ideas, content formats, creating & publishing content for maximum results, and how it all ties in to your overall business (including your funnels, promotions, social channels, email marketing, etc). SMR focuses strictly on social media, where content marketing will focus on creating content that gets traffic and makes sales. 😉
Every post of this blog is really useful me and becomes a guideline for blogging in 2014. Find the right niche which's suitable with the passion. Thanks a lot for the Free Gift.
You're most welcome, Cipto! Enjoy 😀
I am in the business of providing local online news, but I do not have "clients" per se, only advertisers. I do not do affiliate marketing, because it would detract from the business of providing to readers facts about what is happening locally. I have my niche, but cannot figure out how to more profitably monetize it. Would any of your programs be a good fit? Happy New Year, Lynn.
Hi MAM,
I would love to brainstorm with you on ways to increase your traffic & revenue. You can currently join my Private Brainstorming Group for only $37/month - even if you just wanted to work together for a single month, it would be very beneficial. You can get details here: http://www.clicknewz.com/hands-on-help/ - and the monthly option is still available until Tuesday January 7th. After that there will only be annual & biannual membership options, but if you join before the 7th you can keep your rate for the lifetime of your membership...
I love your Clicknewz blog and have been an avid follower for over 3 yrs now. I recommend your programs to clients and other people that I know. Am excited for your new programs that are coming out. Thank you for all your help and materials over the years.
Thank you Corina! Happy New Year 😀 *cheers*
Geez, I guess I missed your offer on the "Niche Blueprint." That's what I need, STEP-BY-STEP tutorial!
Anyway, thanks for all your great info in the past ... and keep up the good work.
Thank you Gene! And no - you didn't miss out at all! It's still available. 😀 See: http://www.clicknewz.com/9204/niche-success-blueprint/ Join us, it'll be a lot of fun and SUPER productive! *cheers*
Hi Lynn,
You always post very inspirational content, thank you! I hope to join your group at some point. All the best for 2014! 🙂
Thank you Dorothy! 😀 *cheers*
