Is it really spam?

May 11, 2012 By Leave a Comment

No SpamI wanted to take a moment to address something that is a huge problem:  spam.  I’m not talking about spam in a can – I’m talking about the spam that lands in your email inbox. But do you really understand what spam is?

2011 Top Internet Marketers: Those Who Influenced Me This Year

December 20, 2011 By 3 Comments

2011 was a year of change for me, and my business.  If you’ll notice by the lack of consistent blog posts on this site (as well as my other sites); I took this year to restructure, refocus and streamline my business and personal life.  I unsubscribed from many, many mailing lists this year – focusing only on those that I found to have the best content, and who resonated with me for a variety of reasons.

So, while it might have seemed like I dropped off the radar – I was in fact very busy with my business, and also watching and learning quietly in the background from those top internet marketers whom I respect.

I wanted to share that top internet marketers list with you, so you too can sign-up for their mailing list and watch and learn how they run their businesses.  These folks walk-the-walk and were successful first, then started teaching and helping others.  That’s important!  Their style is natural, warm and friendly – so you feel like you really know them vs. a cold hard sales pitch, where it’s clear someone just wants your money and doesn’t give a rip about you personally.

These folks take relationship marketing to a whole new level.  They get it.  Without further ado….
