Interruption To The Schedule

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

I wanted to post a quick note to let you know that I will be away from blogging for a couple of days. Last week, my family came to visit from Indiana; and Friday, my wife went under doctor-ordered bed rest that will be in place through Monday evening. I am respecting her privacy and wishes by not going into more details, though I will say that it's not anything life-threatening.

I have been playing Mister Mom even more so, which has stretched me to the limits of my talents. I don't know how my wife does all she does.

I do know that I have thousands of e-mails to go through and many I have glimpsed that I know I need to answer. I ask that you extend a little patience and I will get to them within this week.

The Tuesday guest post was submitted weeks ago, so it will run on Tuesday at the normal time. Jo-Anne Vandermeulen will discuss: Audio Podcast Authors Promoting Through Blogtalkradio. I know this is something that many authors have been asking about. She and others have really done a great job at harnessing this venue.

I will be back in a few day. Thanks again for your patience.

I hope Emily gets better soon. Give her my love... :)

Take care of yourself and go easy (we women are just born multi-task-ers :).

Cheers

And of course, I'll miss your marketing genius in the meantime.
