In 2008, eleven year old Megan Maloney lost three family members to cancer in less than 12 months. Megan?s father was about to test launch an online travel business, when Megan came to him with an ?aha? moment. ?Dad, is there any way to fight cancer with your new travel site, can we raise money to help fight this disease?? That was all it took. After some lengthy discussions & re-development, Charity Pro Travel was founded just in time to become a partner with Stand Up 2 Cancer. As word spread, Megan was contacted by local & national media, giving interviews to the likes of CNN & Ellen Show Producers. Her story and photo even made the front page of the Travel/Entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times. Less than a month later she was off to L.A. for the live broadcast of the first
Stand Up 2 Cancer telethon featuring over 100 celebrities & 40 entertainers. Shortly after a successful test launch, the economy took a turn, the travel industry took a hit and Megan had to return to school, leaving restricted availability and participation. So, the Maloney?s decided to put the project on the shelf? . until now. Fast forward? June 2017. With her continued passion to make a difference, Megan, a college marketing & business student, has dusted off the project and has put together an impressive team. She first partnered with Keith Hudson, a family friend and father of pop star Katy Perry, as the CEO. Next, they pitched the concept to Priceline and have joined forces with the Priceline Partner Network to power and provide all the travel related products. With
additional strategic partnerships in marketing and brand development, Megan?s unfortunate story has now become her future to see the problem and work to find a solution. As a growing millennial population has a desire to inherently better the world, Megan will help provide the collective an opportunity by connecting hearts around the world, one trip at a time. 1 in 2 men, 1 in 3 women will be diagnosed with cancer, 1 person every 8 minutes under 40 will be diagnosed with cancer in US. http://www.standup2cancer.org

Pop-duo Carly and Martina launched into their music career at the young age of 13, with their first recording contract for original debut single "Make Me Happy." The 16-year old twins from Chicago carry mind-blowingly strong vocals, bold-albeit daring harmonies, and such sweet versatility to their sound it comes as no
surprise that they have amassed an international, loyal fan base in such a short amount of time. No stranger to the stage, the two have blessed the stages of many a notable music venue across the US. Their on stage, almost telepathic chemistry is something only the twins themselves can truly grasp, however its undeniable
presence is what makes their live-performances so entertaining. Ordinary is not a word that can be used to describe Carly and Martina as musicians as the girls write all of their own lyrics, musical arrangements, and are almost always found buried deep into the post-production process of their creative genius.
Right now, you?re trying to figure out h ow t o st an d ou t f r om t h e cr ow d so you can get in front of more potential clients and customers and grow your business. You want to write for national publications, be quoted in newspapers and magazines and appear on television and radio ? but you have n o idea h ow t o st ar t lan din g t h ose oppor t u n it ies. Sound familiar?

What do I know about becoming an expert and getting more visible? I began my career as a corporate attorney who happened to have a little blogging hobby. Since I began that blog eight years ago, I?ve landed two book deals, countless guest blogs, feature articles with major publications likeGlamourandMen?s Health, dozens of (paid!) speaking engagements all over the country, and numerous national radio and television interviews. I even got hired away from my law practice by ESPN to be a sports business analyst five years ago, and now I write for Forbes on sports business and for Fast Company on entrepreneurship.

HOW I USE FACEBOOK GROUPS TO GROW MY BUSINESS Eleven months after I started my own business, I found myself fully booked and in a position to pay myself a salary equal to what I was making as a VP at the marketing agency I?d left. And I owe virtually all that success to tapping the power of Facebook groups. Before then, I used Facebook the way most people do? as a tool for keeping in touch with friends and family, sharing life updates, and taking a break from work. LinkedIn and Twitter, on the other hand, were my business development tools. That started to change when I signed up for a group coaching program for online entrepreneurs and was invited to the coach?s Facebook group. I couldn?t have known at the time that Facebook would become the referral source for 95% of my new business leads and 85% of my current clients.
FINDING THE RIGHT FACEBOOK GROUPS Most Facebook groups I?ve come across for entrepreneurs are ?private,? meaning you need to click a button to request access and wait for someone to approve you. Don?t be put off by that. Some groups might have a few baseline requirements for entry, usually by interest area, field, or identity, and others are dedicated to paid training. There are groups for women entrepreneurs, for instance, and others you?re asked to join when you sign up for a paid coaching program.
So while the first Facebook group I joined was the latter sort, I was soon emailed an invitation to join another after downloading an e-book on an entrepreneur ?s site. For independent workers and ?solopreneurs? like me, private Facebook groups offering exclusive content and networking are becoming more common. Watch for those mentions in any emails you receive from someone after downloading their free offer.
That?s not the only place to look, though. Facebook?s algorithm is good at suggesting groups you might like?you just need to get started. If you?re on the desktop browser version of Facebook, you?ll see suggested groups on the right sidebar when you?re already inside a group. That can be a good place to find other groups whose members have similar interests.
Amanda Goldman-Petri, founder of Market Like a Nerd, filled her business with one-on-one coaching clients just 30 days after she began actively participating in Facebook groups. And she says that within 90 days, she booked $120,000 in new business, 90% of which came from her own Facebook group. Goldman-Petri has three important tips when it comes to finding the right group to build your own business: 1. Don?t join a group run by a direct competitor in your space. 2. Stick to groups with 500?10,000 members. This way it?s big enough to be worth your time, but not so big that you get lost in the shuffle. 3. Make sure members in the group are actively engaged. If it?s simply a place where people drop in promotional posts and then leave, it isn?t worth your time. WHAT TO DO ONCE YOU?RE THERE The biggest mistake I?ve made with Facebook groups is simply spending too much of my day posting and answering questions. You want people to notice you and engage with you, so you soon find yourself everywhere, all the time?not the most effective strategy. When you?re inside a group, there?s a search box. Use that to search for keywords around your product or service. For example, I search things like ?publicity,? ?PR,? and ?public speaking.? I try to stay in my lane, so to speak, and only engage on topics that are central
to my business in order to effectively manage my time in the Facebook groups I?ve joined. I only actively participate in three groups outside of my own, [but] in the beginning, I joined at least a dozen groups where I thought my ideal clients might hang out. There are a few other guide rules I?ve given myself. I only actively participate in three groups outside of my own. In the beginning, I joined at least a dozen groups where I thought my ideal clients might hang out, and then I essentially tested them out to decide which got me the most bang for my buck. Since you can?t tell much about a group until you?ve been approved to join, I start out by scrolling through the group?s main news feed right after I?m approved. That helps me get an initial feel for whether or not I was right about it being a good spot to find my ideal clients. For example, I once ended up in a group with perfectly lovely women, but the majority appeared to be involved in multilevel marketing. That?s not my ideal client, so I quietly left the group. If I read through a dozen or so posts and think the group is a good fit, I?ll write a post introducing myself and my business and then gauge the response. If people leave positive comments and ask me questions, that?s a promising sign that it?s worth getting more engaged.
From there, I?ll search the group for my keywords and respond in a few threads. I?ll also start posting every few days about a topic related to my business and attempt to teach the audience something?or just provide some value however I can. For me, that might mean giving a few tips on the best places for people to find their first speaking gig.
THE RESULTS TO WATCH FOR
What happens after I start posting tips and answering questions in these Facebook groups? Sometimes it?s as simple as someone sending me a private message and saying that they saw my post and are interested in learning more about my services. Other times, they?re intrigued enough by my content to ?like? my business page and then join my own group, where I can market to them more openly. If people leave positive comments and ask me questions, that?s a promising sign that it?s worth getting more engaged. Either way, you?ll want to keep a lookout for hard results like these. As every business owner (not just marketer) knows, if you can?t ultimately turn engagement into revenue,
it?s not worth much. My business is 16 months old, and I?ve been booked solid with retainer clients since month 11, thanks in large part to my participation in Facebook groups. And it?s not just me who is seeing this kind of lead generation from this approach. Emily Hirsh, an online marketing strategist whose business is on track to do $250,000 in revenue this year, says 80% of her clients come from a wide range of Facebook groups where she maintains a presence. But you don?t have to be an online entrepreneur to tap the power of Facebook groups. It?s fertile ground for a variety of independent consultants as well?including in local niches. Stephanie Melish, a certified business coach who often works with local clients, tells me she?s landed two coaching clients, a speaking engagement, and several business collaborations by participating in a Facebook group that focuses on women in the Charlotte, North Carolina, area. It allows me to build my credibility in my local marketplace and secure referrals,? says Melish. ?For example, I was able to secure one of my coaching clients because they saw a post where someone had asked about local business coaches, and several other members had listed me in the comments.?
Having previously tried to generate leads through LinkedIn groups with absolutely no results, I was skeptical that Facebook would work any better. Less than a year later, I?m thrilled to have proven myself wrong. Kristi A. Dosh is a publicist and the founder of Guide My Brand.

Sabya Clarke
Sabya is 18, and I'm a virtual reality screenwriter and director. I just completed a successful Kickstarter campaign for my VR movie,To Patch A Broken Star(for release in 2018). Here is a short article on how to create a successful brand. One of the best ways to create a successful brand is to offer something in an emerging market. For example, my production company Cinema gick does not produce traditional films. We produce virtual reality films. A virtual reality experience is not a 360 video. With VR, the world is built from scratch, and
the characters in the film are animated and rigged. You can view the story looking up, down, to your left or to your right. It?s an amazing form of entertainment.You no longer just watch a movie. You can experience it. My VR movies will eventually incorporate smells, a special chair and a vest that you can wear. Why a vest? Imagine watching a scene and feeling the vibration of an earthquake that?s happening in the movie. Imagine smelling the meal that the protagonist is preparing next to you in the kitchen.
Virtual reality is truly immersive, and there?s an amazing opportunity to grow with the technology. That?skey for building a successful brand. Find opportunities for growth. Another tip for creating a successful brand is to leverage diversity. Cinema gick is a B Corporation, whose mission is to help those underrepresented in film and technology gain more access. These include women, minorities and persons with autism. My movie, To Patch A Broken Star, is currently in production. After raising funds successfully using Kickstarter, I was able to hire a virtual reality world builder to help me make my movie. As the director,I am
also responsible for casting voice actors, and hiring other cast and crew. The actress for the pilot of my movie, Joy Ogke bene is Nigerian. The lead actor,Devin Justice, is Puerto Rican. My production partner is from Liberia. Ad-iverse team and crew is helping me to build a successful brand as a virtual reality director, writer and producer.
