Greetings!
We're hot in the middle of summer, so I'm keeping things short and sweet this month. If you're trying to learn more about your market or know someone who needs information for a business plan, read the article on how to do market research. Plus, learn about driving traffic to your site using content publishing at my next workshop. More info on this one and others at the bottom of this email. Swimmingly yours,  |
Looking for market info? Here's a quick way to find it. Contrary to what you may have thought, starting with Google is not the

information to wade through. A better method is to find the
publications and associations related to your industry, and mine them
for reports, white papers, articles and more. Read the article |
