Get Snappy Testimonials for Your Business!
I L-O-V-E it when someone I know and admire creates an easy way to do something we all know we should be doing…but too often, don’t do.
My good friend Martha Carnahan has done exactly that with her Brilliant Testimonials Toolkit!

So, you’ve been thinking about holding a teleclass, or maybe creating an audio download as the freebie for your mailing list opt-in. The whole idea seems groovy until… the dog barks. Or the kids come in yelling. Or the UPS man knocks at the door. Or the phone rings (because you forgot to turn [...]

I woke up this morning to an email from Plaxo reminding me that my friend Janice’s birthday is in 7 days. That’s cool – I appreciate reminders like that. Only problem is she died in December. That reminder was like a kick in the gut that momentarily knocked the wind out of me. But it [...]

Introducing a new player in the Social Networking arena: IMFacePlate.
It’s actually kinda cool, IMHO, because it combines the social connection aspects of Twitter, Facebook and others with the article marketing aspect of Ezine Articles, Squidoo, and others (remember folks…links back to your site…very important!)
