November 30: Bye-bye November!! Hello HoliDAY!

Hey Indies!

I hope you had a splendid Thanksgiving -- mine was the best EVER!
I had a cold and no voice for most if it, but why keep track of
such details? The weather was great and family and friends were
all around. What could be better? So, bye-bye November, Holiday
2012 is now in full swing! W00T!

I really cleaned up on Cyber Monday -- my members REPRESENT!
Can't wait until my front door starts filling up in a few days. Let the
tree decorating begin! 

Before I get to all the cool new stuff at your site,
I wanted to quickly let you know that a scheduling
issue has left one of my Branded Content Strategy
Coaching spots wide open. Who wants it?

Better grab it up quick if you need help creating
your OWN systematized media marketing machine,
putting it on auto-pilot for 2012.

Snap up the last spot here before it's gone!

Now, for the other fun stuff -- see what members are making, what
classes they are hosting -- and if you're a soapmaker using a Mac, don't
miss Katie's invaluable tips for running Soap Maker 3 on a Mac! Plus,check out all the small business learning resources in the Premium Content
area -- hundreds or timeless resources not available anywhere else,
to help you grow!
