September 27: Is your business ready for the new FaceBook?

Hey INDIEs!

 As we approach the holiday season, I have some important
information to share with you about using your online newsletter
to boost visibility over the next few months. This is important not
just because of the approaching season, but because FaceBook's
recent changes remind us to own and control our own media
outlets. (More about this here and here.)

If you want to turn those e-addresses you have into good relational
leads, you won't want to miss tonight's call: 60-Minute Em*il
M*rketing: How To Create and Publish Your Email Newsletter
in 60 Minutes A Week! at 8pm (NYC); 5pm (LA). Be sure to
RSVP if you'd like a reminder before the call!

Also, for those who missed last week's call, How To Grow
Your Business Using Twitter Chats, you can get the audio here.

NEW Meetup!: October 9: Sugarloaf NYC Art & Craft Festival

I hope all the fun questions, tips and conversations at the site
this week inspire you as much as they do me! Enjoy!
