Well, that’s all for today, but keep your eyes on my blog because I’ll be posting an article this week about a killer Thanksgiving marketing campaign that is sure to add some much needed holiday cash to your bottom line.  But, because it’s coming up quick you’ll need to act fast to take advantage.

 

Oh yeah, and don’t forget to vote tomorrow!  Our nation and the future of your business depends on it more than ever!

I don’t know what you have planned tonight, but I can tell you I’ll be up to my eyeballs in Halloween craziness.  My wife and I moved into our new neighborhood last year just in time to experience the Trick or Treat madness and let me tell you, it’s total chaos.

You see, we live in a pretty quiet neighborhood in Rock Hill, SC, which is a suburb of Charlotte, NC.  It’s a fantastic neighborhood in that it’s not a tract development so every house is a little different, everyone has good sized yards, and there are LOTS of trees.  Plus, there are culdesacs EVERYWHERE, so I don’t have any problem letting my kids ride their bikes in the street because there’s no way anyone could speed.

Anyway, Halloween is total chaos because every year, local churches and other neighborhood groups bus kids into ours.  Yes, they bus the kids to our neighborhood.  Crazy, I know.

So from 6:30pm until at least 9pm we’ll have a steady stream of kids trounce up our front steps hoping to get some candy.  We bought 5 HUGE bags of candy, over 1,000 pieces total and I wouldn’t be surprised if we ran out before the last little ghost rang the doorbell.

But, I didn’t write this email to complain.  Nope.

See, as I was thinking about all the kids that would be ringing my doorbell hoping to score a little Halloween loot I thought, “why not give my loyal customers and subscribers some Halloween loot as well?”

So, that’s what I’m doing.

Beginning right now and running through Monday at 11:59pm ET, you can score anyone of the various products or services I offer at a full 31% off.  That’s right, you can almost 1/3 off the final price.

That includes my best selling, step-by-step business building guide ’28 Days to Defining and Dominating Your Target Market’, as well as getting a powerful, profit producing website.  Basically anything (with the exception of the Silver website package or Champion’s Circle membership) is 31% off.

But remember, at 11:59pm ET on Monday it all goes away.  So if you’ve been thinking about investing in one of my products or services, now is DEFINITELY the time to act.

If you have any questions or trouble with any of it, please don’t hesitate to let me know and I’ll get you squared away.

So, I hope you have lots of exciting things planned for tonight, and hopefully you won’t have to suffer through the madness of having kids bused into your neighborhood!

I know times are tough financially, but don’t be one of the companies that cowers in fear.  Instead, be one of the ones people will be talking about as being a HUGE success when this mess is over.

I hope you had a great weekend.  I have a quick note today that could be very valuable for a few LCO’s that are looking to get a huge bump in traffic and links to their website.   And the best part is, it won’t cost a thing.

First, a little background info.  I belong to an email list by a guy named Peter Shankman.  He’s a big-wig public relations (PR) guy that runs a list called Help A Reporter Out (HARO).  It basically gives reporters an opportunity to send shout outs for sources for their stories.

Peter publishes this list 3 times a day and it’s usually a bunch of story topics that reporters or authors need help with.  The name and contact info of the reporters  are listed along with the topic of the story they’re writing.

Now, you’re probably wondering why I’m telling you this and why I subscribe to an email list like this.  To answer your question, one of the very BEST ways to generate publicity, which is basically FREE advertising, is to get published by the news media.

When you get publicity, there are usually a few benefits such as credibility, attention, and in most cases these days you get links back to your website.  And in case you don’t know, links from high quality news sources provide TONS of traffic to your website as well as credibility with the search engines, which in turn helps your website rank much higher.

Okay, now onto why I’m telling you all this.  Peter published this afternoon’s query list and it has a request for information on landscaping small spaces.  It’s for Total Landscape Care Magazine which is an industry publication devoted to, well, I’m sure you can imagine.

Anyway, if you’d like an opportunity to share your expertise and knowledge, PLUS get mentioned on a high traffic website and possibly get links back to your website, then I strongly encourage you to check this out.

Now, before I post the information, let me give you a few rules.

First, please don’t contact the author unless you’re ready and willing to share your ideas.  This could be a fantastic opportunity, but I don’t want to bombard the author with tons of needless inquiries.

Second, just be willing to share your ideas, experiences, or suggestion.  Again, this is a FANTASTIC opportunity to get some publicity for your business and even though it’s for a magazine of your peers, the media exposure you’ll get, along with the links to your website will definitely make it worth your while!

Okay with all that said, here’s the information for this media opportunity, along with t
