Enjoy this excerpt from Secrets of Online Persuasion by Deborah and JP Micek.

The shakeout between the fast and the slow has already begun. The slow will fail in their feeble attempts at preserving the old ways.

It reminds me of Neo in The Matrix at the end of part one, where Neo gets on the phone and says to those controlling and manipulating what people see:

“I know now what you’re trying to do, and I’m going to let them all know.”

Now with the New Media, there is an army of Neos – hundreds of millions of change agents. They are passionate about participating in the marketplace conversation and transformation. And that strikes fear in the hearts of the entrenched institutions.

What Does This Mean To You And Your Business?

It means it’s no longer “business as usual”. It means you can’t market, sell or manage the way you did even just three years ago.

It also means you can give yourself a tremendous competitive advantage when you understand the New Media Marketplace.

If you’re in business and you’re not already feeling these changes, you will soon enough. The New Media world of blogs, Podcasts, social networks, Wikis and more are enabling participation and connection like never before in history.  If you want a head start on your competitors, it’s something you must get involved with now.

A few years ago, Coach Deb and JP Micek teamed up to produce a book called Secrets of Online Persuasion.  Here is an excerpt for your enjoyment……

The New Media Revolution

The tidal wave of cultural transformation is not coming. It has already hit.

“They are the gatekeepers. They are guarding all the doors and they are holding all the keys, which means that sooner or later someone is going to have to fight them.

I won’t lie to you Neo. Every single man or woman who has stood their ground, everyone who has fought an agent has died. But where they have failed, you will succeed.

I’ve seen an agent punch through a concrete wall; men have emptied entire clips at them and hit nothing but air. Yet their strength and their power is still based in a world that is built on rules. Because of that they will never be as strong or as fast as you can be.”

- Morpheus to Neo in the movie, The Matrix

Most people are missing it, and that’s good … for you. Because now, with the help of what we’ll be sharing with you in this book, you’ll see opportunities where your competitors and peers feel confusion and frustration.

What’s the mistake?  What are people missing?  It’s the tidal wave of cultural transformation that’s sweeping the modern marketplace – a revolution that’s happening offline, online, and everywhere in between.

It’s easy to miss.  Since this reformation of the marketplace is being powered by the New Media, it looks like it’s all about technology. And that intimidates most people. But don’t allow yourself to be fooled. It’s not about the Internet, blogs, iPods, or any other cool new tool on its own.

People, participation and persuasion are generating the Revolution.

That’s so important to your business success in the marketplace of the new millennium that it bears repeating. The New Media Revolution is about people, participation, and persuasion.

Grasp this one concept and you’ll quickly leapfrog your competitors to lead your niche in marketing, buzz, and branding.

As Seth Godin first forecasted in his 1999 book, Permission Marketing , traditional advertising and marketing through interruption is dead.  Today, despite the companies large and small who still blindly stumble along, following habitual patterns of the past, the new millennium consumer has proved Seth’s forecast to be true.

Will you follow in those same old footsteps until the reality of failure hits you? Or will you ignore the lie that others are telling themselves and profit from this exciting new marketplace?

Game changing video interview on the new Twitter App going LIVE today with Mike Filsaime and Deborah Micek about “TweetGlide” in this post below.

If so, you’ll love what Mike Filsaime just released today: TweetGlide which will not only replace these other application tools, but it’ll take it to the next level. (See video interview below as Coach Deb interviews Mike Filsaime about what makes TweetGlide different, unique and better than TweetDeck.)

Let’s just say, if you’re a business owner or marketer who is on Twitter in order to market your business, product or service, then you’ll fall in love with TweetGlide the way I did once I got to the bottom of what it really does.

TweetGlide is a Game Changer for Twitter. Watch this two part video interview with Mike Filsaime and judge for yourself… (Then pass it on – your followers will love you for it!)

Deborah Micek here, reporting from the Blog World Expo 2009 floor. (not exactly LIVE, but this quickie video will give you a feel for what Blog World Expo is really all about.)

Blog World & New Media Expo in Vegas this past weekend was yet another mega success (at least for those of us who made it so by getting what we came for. Yeah, it’s good to have goals when you go to Blog WORLD, ya know what I’m sayin?)

With over 300 speakers on panels at Blog World Expo all in the span of just 3 days, it can get rather overwhelming. Especially if you go to all the sponsored tweetups, meetups and after parties sponsored by cool companies and people like @JasonFalls @Mashable, @AdventureGirl, @TechSet, @Mike_Stelzner, @MariSmith, @bhgre_sherry and so many others.

By the last day, at the last hour of the day, I found a nice corner in the back of the breakout area to put my feet up, laugh a little and just hung out with my good friends (and well respected colleagues) Denise Wakeman and Rich Brooks. (Yes, there’s a back-story to this reunion meetup – but we’ll save that for another post. mmkay?)

In this casual 3 minute video, Rich Brooks from Maine, asks me to reveal how I do it all.

How do I get from one event to another and keep on going? Motivational secret revealed in this video. (I Guarantee you, no other motivational speaker has EVER revealed this little known secret that only the MEGA successful know about.)

As you enjoy this fun, impromptu video interview that THE Rich Brooks originally created to send to his brother-in-law, you may notice “another layer” in the background. Actually a few Tribal factors are also seen throughout the video.

Ok, that’s all I’m saying. I’ll leave the rest of the clues and social media tribal customs for friends, fans and tweeps to uncover in the video and reveal in the comments below. (Be sure to add your Twitter handle!)

Do you notice the Tribal language and customs of Tweeters in the video? Let’s just say, in casual, conversational interviews like this, there are many other layers and lessons to learn from – if you dig beneath the surface, and ask the right questions when they pop up in your mind. Ya’ know, the smart questions like, “WTF is that?!” #LikeTheLongAssHashtags and shtuff like that.

Over & Out,
Deborah Micek
AKA: @CoachDeb

PS: We also touched on a hot topic discussed at Blog World Expo (otherwise known as #BWE09), which was: “Sponsored Conversations“. With the FTC regulations coming into play on Dec 1, 2009, it’s a topic we all need to be aware of. And we address it in this video in our usual, irreverent fashion: indirect, and with humor. Feel free to share the real business lessons and your thoughts on sponsored conversations in the comments below. I’d love to hear your take on it.

PPS: While The Rich Brooks from Maine has a wide array of credentials, including being the President of flyte, and Fast Company Expert Blogger, he’s best known for his accomplishments in the Twittersphere for inventing the supervillain named The Sandwich Svengali. (More on that story at the upcoming SXSW “conference” in Austin, Texas.)
