Holiday Wishes From Marketing Tips For Authors

Praise For Conducting Effecttive Twitter Contests

I just finished reading Tony's book, Conducting Effective Twitter Contests and I have to say that I'm thoroughly impressed. Not only do you receive a step-by-step outline of how to implement a contest, but you also get tons of very helpful tutorial videos. This book is worth 10x what you pay for it... it's like getting an entire course! -Shelley Hitz, author of A Step-by-Step Guide to Guest Blogging * Tony Eldridge's "Conducting Effective Tweeter Contests" displays the same relevance, integrity, and attention to detail found in his daily Marketing Tips for Authors Blog. Tony takes a fresh topic and provides a highly readable, illustrate, step-by-step roadmap to success. Tony takes you on a pre-launch to follow-up journey that even the most techno-phobic author or business owner can use to maximize their social media marketing. -Roger C. Parker, The "Best Selling $32 Million Dollar Author" and author of #Book Title Tweet * If you'd like to boost your Twitter followers, I highly recommend Conducting Effective Twitter Contests. The combination of video and text reinforces the message and is terrific for people who learn better by watching or who feel a bit intimidated by online marketing. Dana Lynn Smith, The Savvy Book Marketer and author of the Twitter Guide for Authors. * Conducting Effective Twitter Contests is amazing. Tony covers topics that go beyond basic contest running to topics such as protecting your Twitter relationships and everything in between. I haven't seen anything like this information. Tony has developed a step-by-step system to make it easy for you to follow. Phyllis Zimbler Miller, co-founder of Miller Mosaic Power Marketing and author of What You Should Know About Using Twitter Effectively and Strategically
