I receive requests for free marketing help on a daily basis. Some asking for quick advice, while others ask for a complete, detailed marketing plan (I kid you not).

Now, as much as I’d love to help each and every one of these people with all the free advice I can possibly give, I’ve come to realize that I can no longer continue to do this.

I didn’t like the thought of having to turn people away when they asked for advice. But, just a handful of requests grew to 25… 50… there are even days, when I receive almost 100 requests for free Internet marketing help.

You see, I was working so hard at giving free help, that I was beginning to jeopardize my relationship with my
paying my customers.

So, I took the plunge and gave Twitter another shot last Thursday (4/23)… I was already pretty excited to see my follower count at around 650… but, imagine my surprise when the numbers suddenly grew after I began tweeting again I’m over 1,150 now – I’m up 300+ in less than 5 days! Of course, this is small-time compared to those with over 10,000 followers… but, this is SO INCREDIBLY COOL!

Now the hard, tedious part is… how on earth do I follow-back everyone in the most time-effective way? Is there a software or somethin’ that can help me with this?

In any case… here’s my Twitter page if we aren’t connected on there yet: http://twitter.com/marketingchick

Happy Tweeting!!

So FINE… I’m back. lol

Have you ever looked at something that’s been a part of your life for almost forever (furniture, pets, even family), and suddenly find yourself *seeing* it for the very first time? This has been happening to me quite often lately, and it’s creepy weird.

Why does my room look different? Are those my sandals? Is this the same laptop I’ve been working on for the past year? When did I finish designing that website? What happened to my golden highlights and green eyes?!! ( < < just kidding! nark! nark! :-D )

If you think I’ve lost my mind, you’re right. But not how you might think…

Have you ever felt like your head is cluttered with so much to do, you don’t know how you’ll ever get anything done?

Not knowing how to organize your tasks leads to worry, stress, and discouragement. Maybe you already have a nice list of things to do, but find yourself feeling like no matter how much you’ve accomplished throughout the day, your “to-do” list just keeps on growing…

Every task, action, or project has a place and time. When these items are properly organized, you feel in control. As a result, the time spent on worrying is replaced with effective action. Here’s a sample to-do list to help you accomplish more, while decreasing stress! Read more »

Happy Birthday To Me!

No, it’s not my bday… but my son made me this special ‘surprise’ treat and proudly presented it to me while singing the happy birthday song.

(Mango yogurt, sharp cheddar cheese, mayo, gummy fruit snacks, and butter… topped with cracker sticks.).

Quick note from my friend’s house…

My DSL has been down since yesterday afternoon. We’ve got some crazy rain and thunder/rain storms here. So, if you’ve sent me email since then and haven’t heard back, you know why.

I’ll get back to you (if necessary) as soon as I get my connection back!! Arhhhhhh!!!

I appreciate your patience! Thank you!
