Welcome from Bobette
Dear Reader,
Well, my daughter's settled in at college and I'm settling into a house with just Tim, the cat, and me (sigh).
The good news for you is I now have more time to work on the site and new product offerings. Been working on some things...
...I revised and expanded the affiliate program for my marketing plan ebook. You now earn 50% commission - more than $13.00 per ebook sale - through your affiliate site. More information at:
http://www.websitemarketingplan.com/ap/AffilProg.htm
If you don't yet have the excerpt, pick it up here:
http://www.WebSiteMarketingPlan.com/BookExcerpt.htm
...I am also reading Sharon Fling's new ebook "How to Promote your Local Business on the Internet". She graciously allowed me to include a preview on my site (.exe file). Download it from my "No-Cost Marketing Tools" page:
http://www.websitemarketingplan.com/Free/FreeMPRes.htm
(It's the first item on the page.)
Sharon's article, "Jumpstart Your Local Business -- Get Online", is in today's spotlight. She wrote it for local business, but the information is relevant to all businesses. In the article she explains 5 ways consumers are using the Internet to research and purchase.
I'm trying out a shorter format for the newsletter, with links to additional content. Let me know what you think:

Take care and enjoy,
Bobette
P.S. If you like the newsletter, please spread the word by forwarding it to two friends or associates.
