Hot Off The Press!

Well, it’s not really hot ... and it’s not really off the press. It’s an e-book I’m just finishing up – Marketing Tune Up: A Turnkey Guide For Creating and Implementing Your Marketing Plan. Actually, this little tome was started a while back, but then all that life and work stuff got in the way.

Marketing Tune Up, affectionately nicknamed MTU, is a fun-to-read discourse about the ins and outs of writing, and actually putting to good use, your marketing plan. There’s nary a drivel of dry and droll marketing speak. What is contained within its pixeled pages are tried and true tactics and techniques to get your name out there, get the phone ringing and the inbox jingling. Okay ... enough with the alliteration.

This is a 75+ page beta version I’m putting out there at roughly half what it will sell for as version 2. I’d appreciate your thoughts, insights and suggestions for inclusion in the next version. If you’d like to email me some of your successful marketing activities, I’ll include them in the next version along with a credit line and a link to your site or blog.
