You're welcome, Diane. You had a great series on Public Speaking.

Yeah, thanks for mentioning my Thursday post on Basic HTML. I have had people send me e-mails about how it helped them. I'm thinking about doing a video tip on it.

"Tony's Blog has been a valuable resource to me as I got started marketing my first nationally published book. I subscribe to the rss feed and always gain something new from each post. It is as if I am enrolled in a marketing class for new authors on line. Tony's posts are always written in easy to understand terms and he gives step by step instructions. If you are a new author or wanting to become one, I highly recommend you follow Tony's advice and subscribe to his blog. You will not regret it. It's like taking a course for free!"- Dawn Stephens, Author and Illustrator, The Little Pot Series

What people are saying about our free marketing video tips

Let me just tell you... Your archive tip on linking a photo to another page where people can buy your book was so incredibly helpful and amazingly clear that you now have a real fan. SO smart to take away the fear that so many have of HTML. I followed it to the letter and posted a link on my blog today. Have a look. It's all because of you.
