We had great ideas and we put them in motion. You can too!

For the first time ever we are sharing what we have learned about creating information products in our Six Month Become An Infopreneur Program. This course will only be available to TEN small business owners who want to expand their business, position themselves as experts and create alternate revenue streams.

The Professional Organizers of Canada Conference this year is taking place on November 6 – 8. Needless to say, attending Conference is very important because you meet so many people as well as learn vital business information and the latest in the world of professional organizing.
This year is extra exciting as I am hosting a workshop at Conference: “From Organizer to Infopreneur – Using Information Products to Boost Profitability.” Taking place on November 7 at 10:30am, this workshop focuses on the importance of information products and how you can use them to increase business. Here’s the workshop’s description:
“Many businesses have already discovered the benefits of information products. There is an eager group of buyers out there and you can tap into them by knowing what you’re passionate about and knowing what has the most potential in terms of quantity of sales and dollar amount per sale. Using information products, you leverage every opportunity and start increasing and protecting your income stream. A Red Bench’s business model is built on using information products as a revenue stream. Using our 6-Step Infopreneur Process, you will leave with the process to go from mind to marketplace and start earning passive income.”
Register now to attend my workshop at the POC conference. You can also view the program for Conference here (PDF) – my workshop is listed on page 8.

I recently received my POC Talk newsletter and was shocked and thrilled to see that I have been nominated for the 2009 Harold Taylor Award. What an honor and a surprise!!! Thank you so much to whoever nominated me. I did not see this coming and am just thrilled to be apart of such a distinguished list of organizers. 
Nominees are the people who have been recognized by their peers as having given something back to POC, its members, and the organizing industry. The winner will be announced at the National POC Conference in Calgary this November. I will be a speaker the conference. The presentation is From Organizer to Infopreneur– Using Information Products to Boost Profitability. I look forward to meeting many organizers.
Thank you for this honor. I am proud to be apart of POC and have always wanted to give as much as I can to other organizers and the organizing industry. That is why A Red Bench was born!

We kicked off the second day of the Social Media TeleSummit with Facebook expert Shama Hyder of Click to Client, LLC. Her t
opic was Fruitful Facebooking: How to Leverage the Social Giant to Further your Biz and Brand.
I was really looking forward to this call, because as much as I resisted Facebook and was forced into using it, I really like it. I have gotten back in touch with so many friends from high school (North Allegheny, Pittsburgh, PA) and college (Indiana University, Bloomington, IN) and its been really fun. That said, I could spend hours on Facebook and I have a business (two of them actually) to run so I was anxious to learn how to more effectively use this powerful tool
Just learning how to automatically post my blog on Facebook was enough, but I learned so much more on this call. I learned some techniques to using Facebook in just 15 minutes each day and the difference between groups and fans. Very helpful for me!
Thanks Shama for a great call. You certainly understand the big and constantly changing world of the social media giant.
Continue to check our website and blog for more information regarding social media tools. If you missed the Embrace Social Media, a TeleSummit, be on the lookout for Nancy’s presentation available from A Red Bench.
