How do brands link up their Google+ pages and YouTube channels?

Hello, I have over 400 videos uploaded to YouTube. I don't just talk about YouTube, I wrote the book on it. "YouTube Video Marketing Secrets Revealed: The Beginners Guide to Online Video Marketing." I actually had this challenge when my Google+ was first synced. I logged into my YouTube channel and all my videos were gone - or so I thought. Here are directions on how to sync your profiles.

1.Log into your Google+ account and then go to YouTube.com
2. Go to your YouTube Account
http://www.youtube.com/account
3. Select "Switch Accounts"
4. Select the channel you want to use and make the sync. http://www.youtube.com/channel_switcher?next=%2F

If the videos are on a separate channel already you will not be able to port them to the new channel. I would instead suggest adding a Manager to the account and you can do that at http://www.youtube.com/account
Please call me if you have follow up questions. Thank you.

I want to start an ecommerce business that imports goods from India to sell in the U.S.. Where in the world do I start re: tax/legal implications.

I started my first business selling a product that was imported from Ghana - African shea butter. I purchased it from a supplier and made over $12k in sales the first 20 days. I would suggest starting with Jim Cockrum's blog at http://www.silentjim.com. He teaches a ton about importing goods through his Proven Amazon and eBay courses. Even though you may want a standalone site I would definitely recommend his site to start with. He teaches a model of go where the people are instead of chasing them down.

Imagine advising an aspiring entrepreneur who is starting a business ... after being in prison. What advice would you give on key things to do/avoid?

Fantastic question! First, a little about me and why I am qualified to answer. My father served 19 years of a 20 year sentence in prison where he passed and I had challenging background. I never met my birth mother and met my birth father at the age of 18. I've been on my own since I was 16 and have lived in the YWCA, homeless shelter's etc. I don't have any family support financial or otherwise. I haven't even had a call on a birthday, holiday, wedding day or even the birth of a child. I have a GED and now a Master's, built my first home before 30 and all while a single mom at the time. I worked very hard throughout my life and now I am retiring from a position at a Fortune 500 company after 10 years of service in my 30's. My husband has had challenges with his background and we opened a gym here in Atlanta for 8 months before closing and I also own several businesses online that focus on teaching part-time entrepreneurs how to convert their passion into profits. I have dozens of courses published on the world's largest destination for online courses including 3 best selling books on Amazon. Okay, now that ALL of that is out the way, here is my response.

Yes, I have begun working with local entrepreneurs and small business owners in Atlanta, GA to build their Internet properties and protect their reputations online and off. I help them create and develop "trust based marketing" through email, books and online and I am partnered with the #1 trusted marketer online to accomplish this and a group of over 10,000 offline business entrepreneurs.

Key things to avoid:
- excessively talking about your past
- blaming others for your current situation
- the old environment

Key things to do:
- Read (or listen to) Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People"
- Find a mentor/coach that you can share your goals with and get feedback
- Invest in small business and personal development classes online or at a center (most are free)
- Think outside the box
- Build a community online
- Transfer life skills into your business
- Understand the pricing structure for your business
- Set goals and create plans to achieve them
- Invest financially and reinvest back into your business
- Create a business and financial plan (on paper)

I could go on and on and would love to connect with your organization. A 15 minute chat to provide more clarity would be great! ~Montina

This session with Montina was beyond worth it. She jumped right to it, wasting no time to give me the jewels. As a result, I will save thousands and add revenue to my bottom line. She even sent me a list of resources. I highly recommend a clarity call with Montina. You won't regret it. Thanks Montina!!

April Gregory Source: Clarity

I missed the first call due to work but I got to reschedule and pick her brain about a variety of topics I was curious about. What I appreciated the most was her reflections on thoughts. Sometimes hearing what you already know from someone else validates or even makes you reconsider lessons learned. And knowing that her perspective is outside of my own thoughts brings more definition to the truth of her advice. Thanks Montina for taking the time to speak with me!

P.S. Cool name too!

Letice Arthur Source: Clarity

Montina was great. In just a short time, she gave me a great idea and confirmed a course of action I am ready to take. I made my request on a Monday morning and was able to chat with her that same day. The Clarity system she uses is aptly named, as I received some clarity! :) -
I highly recommend her as a consultant. One tip: make sure you have a very specific question ready before your call; maybe even write that question in the box when booking your appointment. God bless!
