November 1: Avoiding Holiday Season Overwhelm and Making Amends

Hey INDIEs!

It's November and I just started my holiday shopping! As always,
I buy nearly all of my holiday gifts from IBN members. This year, I'm
doing something different -- I'm going to blog my purchases -- stay
tuned at my blog -- the first one is coming this tomorrow.

Meanwhile, I'm geared up for tonight's webinar on using My Video
Talk. I've actively used video in my business for years -- uStream,
Livestream, Youtube, JustinTV and more. But I've never tried a service
that is accompanied by a business opp0rtunity. In fact, I've intentionally
avoided it. But tonight, I'm doing something a little different by
welcoming a dynamic lady who is going to tell me how her video
product compares to others I have used, and there's also a business
opp0rtunity associated with it. Since she offered to show me, I thought
I'd invite you to come too!

Join me tonight at 8pm EST -- click here to RSVP and get the details.

Now, look at the super stuff at our site, starting with this cute handmade purse ...
