What’s happenin’ around town…
Want free consulting from the likes of Liz Strauss, Chris Brogan, or our very own Susan Payton from The Marketing Eggspert?
Susan is hitting the pavement to promote her new ebook Eating Cereal With a Fork: Maximize Marketing in a Recession. Make a short video, podcast, or write an essay on why you think you should get a marketing makeover, and you’ll be entered in her contest to win some free consulting. (One of the prizes is some Sparkplugging advertising, too!)
It’s the BlogJolt!
When I first started this blog, I borrowed an idea from Des Walsh and started the (now defunct) BlogJolt. Every week our group of bloggers picked a blog to write about and link to – only organic, original content allowed. It was a great way to get to know each other while also helping each other to build links and traffic.
Two similar projects have come across my desk lately.
- Publicity Wheel is doing something similar but automated with a script you put on your site. As long as they are screening applicants, I think it’s worth taking a look at.
- A more hands-on approach is getting started at Chris Garrett’s Authority Blogger forum. Get to know the people involved and help each other by promoting their best content. Again, only organic, genuine promotion is allowed.
