garaughty, the art of marketing you

 

  First I'd like to give a BIG THANK YOU to everyone for adding so many quality posts to the marketing group this week. I'd especially like to thank the newbies for bringing a fresh perspective on things and new voices to the conversation.

 

 Teri Ellis aka The Lady In Red

 teri ellis

 While there was so much great content to select from as usual, a post by Teri Ellis caught my eye as being particularly outstanding as a reminder of how much we all learn from each other... newbies and "oldbies".

 In her post Rain Tips and Pieces of the Puzzle that are good to know! What Say You?  Teri gives a very cool list of 40 things she's learned on Active Rain. Her post reminds me of how much I've learned from so many of the sharp cookies that share their ideas, knowledge and experience here in the Rain.

 It's also an excellent intro for anyone trying to get a handle on or to find their way around all the stuff available on Active Rain. It's a great read, check it out!

 And now, some of the must read marketing posts from this past week...

Jessica... thx so much for the awesome feedback and the excellent post! It's people like you who make the marketing group what it is. I'm really just the "host of the party", it's the great members we have that bring it to life.

 Re "I hate that we couldn't work on the project but I am glad to know that business is booming for you.  Can I reserve you for 2009????"...

 Definitely, so sorry I wasn't available this month to work on your new blog. I'm drowning in new work/projects and I try not to take on more than I can deliver but...

 I have a ton of new stuff coming out soon and would love to work with you in the future, hopefully before 2009. ;-) I'm honored that you asked and I was disappointed I couldn't take on any more projects right now but... definitely soon. Thx again Jess.
