Pam Knight's Empowerment Group

Many people belong to one or more network organizations and pay monthly or yearly membership fees.  While many take advantage of the tax deduction, people primarily join and renew because they believe in the organization what it offers and what it can do for them or how it can help them.

Why should I become a member?

Smart Business Empowerment Group my new online community network empowerment memberships site,  provides you with services to help you market your business, work smarter not harder and shorten your learning curve for getting your business to the next level.  These services include networking meetings, learning how to blog, write articles, promote your business, learn how to package what you know, able to sell your product or services, working with a team of experts who can help you grow your business, monthly coaching, monthly q&a sessions, monthly laser coaching, downloadable resources, using audio and video to promote your business, workshops, webinars, resume help, a resource room, and support among other benefits.  

Launching New Site

Launching a new networking site is very challenging, but also exciting. I love helping small businesses realize their dream and see it come to life. But launching a new networking site where there is a paid membership can also be more challenging and more involved. In the SBEG Site, there has to be content, programs, resources and activities to keep the membership renewing and coming back for more.

With the help of a team of experts that will come aboard to make this all possible, we believe this membership site will provide the needed resource that small businesses, individuals, self-employed and professionals need. While there are many sites that offer similar platform, we will reach out more and provide more programs related to everyday businesses and people. This is a platform that no one should be afraid to belong. You will feel right at home and can ask questions and get answers.

See video below on the new Membership Site.


What methods of payment are available for paying member fees?

We currently accept payment online. No checks at this time.

To Launch Our Membership, we will be having a Launch Party. If you live in the DC metro area you are invited. However if you want to come from afar, we welcome you to. Don’t worry this is an online community so can join online. We are just having a launch party to expose our membership. So we are accepting membership now. If you are one of the first 25 members, you will become a Charter member and here is what you will receive.
 
  • 3 Free months of membership

  • Special Recognition at the First Annual Awards for the Empowerment Group

 So stop wishing there was help for you, stop thinking that nobody is going to address your concerns, stop believing that you have to pay so much to get valuable information and stop thinking that you won’t be able to move your business forward.  This is for you and you can make it what you want.

The resources will be there for you, you have to make it happen.  As the membership grows so will more resources. So stop sitting on the sidelines and come on board. We promise won’t bite, but we will welcome you with open arms.

I Need Help

As a typical business person you will face a lot of experts ready and willing to help you for a price. Many of these people will be from advertising agencies and marketing consultants. I am a marketing consultant and I am going to tell you that you have to be careful.

Keep in mind that you are the expert in your business. Nobody can feel, see or taste your business like you can and you must never let a sales rep talk you into doing something that just doesn’t feel right. As they say, you have to trust your own instincts.

I would say this about experts, use them to do a better job of what you are doing, if you can afford them. But it all boils down to you knowing enough about your business to do your own before you turn it over to someone else.

I get kinda scared when you turn over 100% of your marketing decisions to an outsider. Remember to work on your business or marketing as a collaborative effort with your marketing person.

Tag Me on Facebook What?

facebook

facebook  What is this talk about Facebook tagging  people automatically? OMG, does that mean I will be be tagged regardless?

Are you on facebook? I know I am and facebook is always updating, improving or upsetting some folks when they make changes. This new feature will allow you to tag individuals without you having to manually do it. Wow!

Now here is my question? What if you don’t want to get tagged? Will this new software do this no matter what? Automatically tagging…hmmmmm I may have some concerns about this. I know people tag people anyway whether they get their permission or not. Nice software really! What else will Facebook do to make our lives easier? My thing with Facebook is when they make a changes and most of the time the changes are good, there is no tutorial to help you understand how the changes will effect your profile or even show you how to work the new feature. Or ways to make people a better social networker. They continue to improve (as they think) and if you don’t or can’t keep up with the technology you are left behind and then what happens, you just kinda leave your page alone and don’t keep your page updated.

 Well facebook, I think if the software allows you to not tag people that don’t want to be tagged, then you have something really great. However, if you have software that will tag people regardless, then you might have some concerns as time goes on and consumers may be leaving one of the largest social networking sites besides Twitter at a rapid pace. What do you think?  See more on this article
