Okay...so you want to know more about the email marketing campaign that took FOREVER. Brace yourself. Here's the nitty-gritty... Yes, I did my research. I looked into Contant Contact and iContact and a few other online services that produce email marketing campaigns with beautiful html messages with all the bells and whistles. They ...
Over a week ago I began an email campaign in earnest. I want new clients. I need new clients. I, of course, am my favorite client. But I don't pay myself nearly what I'm worth. Besides, new clients are fun! They have new ideas. It's fun to help them with their business. I get a kick out ...
