Marketing Tips Around The Net: December 4th

December is finally here! This week, I actually got to see my 3 year old twins play outside while it was snowing... in the Dallas, Texas area. Well, hopefully the lineup of tips I have collected around the net will be enough to keep us all warm, no matter where we live. And remember to check out the new audio/videos coming out next week. I have them listed after the tips. If you have radio programs, podcasts, videos, or teleseminars coming out, let me know about them and I will list them in next week's tip about the net. Check out my submission post for instructions on how to get free publicity for your events.

Also, make sure you take a moment to sign up for free video tips. Not only will you get access to the current tip, I will give you access to over 45 minutes of great tips just for signing up. You can also view a sample video tip before you sign up for the video tips newsletter, so you have nothing to lose for checking it out.
