GLOBAL OPERATIONS: SKILLS AND TOOLS
Freedom, time and money are the three things a creative person needs to be happy, but we often only manage two of them in our professional pursuits. In this free ebook “Freedom, Money, Time — and the Key to Creative Success”, London-area professional coach Mark McGuinness shares practical business lessons he’s learned in his pursuit to earn a living from his creative talent.
We think people like you working on creating your global niche will especially appreciate the lessons inherent in Mark’s unconventional path (poet to psychotherapist to creative trainer, oh my!).
Download the ebook, there’s no need to sign up or commit to anything. Feel free to share it.
PROGRAM FOR INDIE ARTISTS, FREELANCERS, BLOGGERS, MICRO-ENTREPRENEURS: The author of the above ebook is launching an in-depth training program for creative entrepreneurs. Core instructors for this program are Mark, Brian Clark, Tony Clark and Sonia Simone while other partners include Jon Morrow, Jeff Walker and Rich Schefren.
“The basic message of the course is that business is creative and creative people can succeed at business (even if they’re not the corporate type),” explains Mark McGuinness.
Here at expat+HAREM we’re pleased to be affiliate partners for Mark’s upcoming “Creative Entrepreneur Roadmap” program, which you’ll learn a little bit more about in the ebook. (If you’re chomping at the bit to hear more now, you can sign up for details right here.)

The world’s widest web is a natural place for global citizens to test and actualize ideas, build community, and even create an unbounded livelihood as entrepreneurs. You probably aim to keep raising the professional level of your online presence and build sustainable ventures. expat+HAREM is doing it with the help of Third Tribe Marketing.
Third Tribe has been getting our online derriere into gear since four megabloggers launched the private educational network in February 2010. [as of July 2011 we are no longer affiliate members but recommend you still check it out if interested!]
WHY WE LIKE IT
Third Tribe’s ethics-first philosophy appeals to expat+HAREM since it combines established online marketing strategies with the softer edge of transparency and authenticity characterized by today’s best social media practitioners. That’s where we want to take our work, and our relationships.
The community was created by Chris Brogan, Brian Clark, Darren Rowse, and Sonia Simone, and is populated by at least 2,500 forward-thinking entrepreneurs of all kinds — although not nearly as many global citizen types as we would expect!
WHAT THIRD TRIBE HAS DONE FOR expat+HAREMInspired us to improve our mailing list hygiene. We’ve been haphazardly collecting addresses from interested parties for six years, and touching base with you all sporadically but as we grow our professionalism, that system is substandard. Now we’re strictly double opt-in, which means we’re working with a mailing list provider and operating at industry standard. We don’t send mail to anyone who doesn’t want it!
Spurred us to create a regular newsletter. Related to the above….a mailing list is only as good as it is active. That means generating specific content of interest to you, and building stronger connections between us.
Offered exquisite guidance on yucky-sounding aspects of Internet marketing — like SEO*. Search engine optimization can make the difference between being invisible, and being found by the people who need and want to join us here at expat+HAREM.
* I mention the advice of one Third Tribe member in “What’s a global niche?” but there’s still a lot to be said for how much that SEO expert’s suggestion has helped expat+HAREM move forward. One guy freely sharing his expertise on the Third Tribe forum single-handedly convinced us why and how to explain ourselves and our newly coined tag line, pronto.
Taught us innumerable things we have yet to put into practice (we have to sleep sometime!) and many incremental improvements you enjoy here today. We plan on gradually instituting new features and refinements …addressing the needs and interests of the expat+HAREM community.
By the way, if you have ideas for us and what you’d like to see here at expat+HAREM send them.
WHAT WILL YOU FIND THERE?
A powerhouse of seminars, transcripts, workbooks, lively forums, and Q&A conference calls.
The material that has already been amassed will give you quite a workout — doubly so if you are concerned about “getting your money’s worth” and put in as much time as possible. The price is $97 a month, with a first-month money-back guarantee if you determine Third Tribe is not right for you.
We admit it’s not a community for the faint-hearted or uncommitted. Third Tribe means business, and they mean to teach us business. Staying on pace with the seminars and the forums and the conference calls — it’s not easy. We think it is, however, a great learning environment to get started and grow our expertise with some of the best minds in the field.
