How to Host Teleseminars That Sell

One of the most common mistakes I see coaches, consultants and other service-based entrepreneurs make in hosting their teleseminars is that they do not “seed” and/or provide compelling information about their upcoming paid program or service throughout the call. Most wait until the very end of the call to even say one word about the specific offer.There is a way to do this tactfully so that you do not come off as “too salesy”. The first thing you want to do is position your offer right upfront.…See More

How to Create a Clear, Compelling and Engaging Marketing Message That Attracts Ideal, High-Paying Clients Online

If you’re like many of the clients I’ve consulted with recently, you want to know exactly how to create a marketing message that really resonates with and appeals to your ideal client online.“What are the words and language I should use to connect with them?”“How do I know what will inspire and motivate them to take action?”These are questions I get all the time. And after asking them to tell me everything they know about their ideal client, it becomes clear what piece of the puzzle they are…See More

The Keys to Facebook Marketing: Easily Get More Leads and Attract More Clients

QUESTION: How effective are your social media efforts in bringing you new leads and clients? Be honest. Are you spending hours upon hours on Facebook, only to get a few leads? And, 9 times out of 10 those few are not even highly qualified? So, you end up with nada. If you're nodding your head "yes", you probably don't…See More

How did you find BBWO?: Google

About Me:: As founder and CEO of yourlucrativelaunch.com, Lavada is passionate about helping coaches, consultants and other service-based entrepreneurs to grow successful businesses online. Affectionately dubbed “The Conversion Diva” and “Launch Queen”, she partners with her clients to convert more leads into sales using effective copywriting and other online conversion tactics.

She has recently been honored as one of 50 Fabulous Women Entrepreneurs on Black Business Women Online and has appeared as a guest expert on several shows to include Pam Perry’s Synergy Energy Show and Deborah Owens’ Wealthy Lifestyle Radio.

Laid off, broke and a baby on the way…

Lavada’s entrepreneurial journey started in March 2009 when she was downsized from her software development position after being in the Information Technology field for nearly 10 years. She was six months pregnant at the time, had no savings in the bank and was completely devastated. Her passion had always been to empower and inspire other women. So, she decided to start her own consulting business, use her technical skills and partner with women service-preneurs to create effective websites that sell 24/7.

Initially, Lavada worked one-on-one with her clients as many coaches and consultants do, until she hit an income plateau in her business. She no longer had the time or energy to take on any new private, one-on-one clients and she was not meeting her revenue goals.

As she started developing marketing campaigns to promote her new online courses and teleclasses, she realized many of her clients and colleagues did not have the web development and internet marketing skills to successfully launch their own programs. Lavada scoured the internet and invested thousands in coaches, mentors and training products; only to find there was no comprehensive, simple step-by-step process. So, she created one!

No more crossing your fingers and praying that your launch is successful.

With a renewed vision, brand and a more profitable niche, Lavada partners with coaches, consultants and other service-based entrepreneurs all over the world to lucratively launch their group programs online.

Lessen Your Workload With Autoresponders

Posted on October 18, 2010 at 2:46pm 0 Comments 0 Likes

Are you manually responding to every single request that comes in through your website? For example, say you are offering a free e-book to those who join your mailing list. Or, perhaps you are giving your audience access to a video tutorial or webinar recording. When you only have a few prospects and/or clients, this may not be such a big deal. But, what if you are receiving ten and twenty requests a week? Or, in one day?…

SEO Keywords: Start With a Good List

Posted on September 30, 2010 at 4:00pm 0 Comments 0 Likes

When I first sat down to write the list of keywords I wanted to optimize my website for, it took me about 30 minutes to come up with a whopping three phrases. One of them was "information technology" and I can't remember the other two, but they were just as silly. Why silly? Because they were too general and broad and I had no chance of ranking high for those words. Our search engine optimization campaigns should…

Lavada Thompson

http://mybbwo.com/profile/LavadaThompson

Very few other women entrepreneurs in my circle have received quite as many third party endorsements as Lavada (even LaShanda Henry gave her high praise and shout outs).

She certainly deserves to be featured the next BBWO50 because she gives so much of her expertise to teach and empower online women business builders, especially through the group she co-founded with Cynthia Renee Frasier called the "Fix My Site" group and through the many webinars that she has hosted and co-hosted.

Finally, her participation as a board member of WAHMs WIN, has helped this organization to progress well, even though it's a brand new organization. She is a vital key member and leader in this org.

Thanks for this opportunity to, once again, recommend Lavada and give her a much deserved shout out.

Thank you, Lavada!
