Likes, Shares and GIVEAWAYS!!!

I just spent two days in Atlantic City at a leadership offsite where one of the resounding themes was COMMUNICATION. There were a couple of other themes floating around as well….like gambling and drinking but for purposes of this article, I’ll focus on the former. =) So, to put it very bluntly, communication can make […]

I AM…The Idea Mama

You know the moment when inspiration strikes. The whole EUREKA experience…it’s incredible, isn’t it? And do you know what’s even better?

The pain is never a deterrent for me.  Nope, I suffer willingly. I ignore the toe-crushing sensations and the […]

Just Add A Hint Of Sex To The Title

Okay, so about a week ago I wrote a post about email marketing techniques.  Remember…I said I wanted to figure out a way to get people to actually open my newsletter?  On my big BOOK LAUNCH DAY??? Well, here are the results of my efforts.  Out of 229 recipients, 45.4% opened the email. That is […]
