Happy Friday!

The smoke has pretty much lifted here for now. I am so grateful for the bit of rain we had, and the shift in winds that blew most of it out of our area overnight. It feels so good to be able to walk around outside, and also to have the windows open in here again.

Today I’m putting the finishing touches on the new site, and plan to be able to share it with you on Monday. I really want to have everything in place and set up properly so that I can start putting into action all the things I learned in the 365 Sales System over the past couple of days.  

But, before I start to work on that this afternoon, here’s what I have for you…

Today’s Read: 7 Reasons Content is Key for Your Creative Business

As a creative business owner, you know that marketing is a key to your success. Even when you’d rather be creating content and other products, you need to be getting your business in front of the people who want what you have to offer.

Using content marketing as a key marketing strategy is a way to provide useful, relevant, and consistent content to attract the people you want in your community. It’s a way to encourage your community members to take action, buy your products and services, and ultimately lead to your creative business success.

Here are 7 reasons why content is key to your creative business marketing

Featured Partner Pick Today

20 Short Reports from Ekit Hub is today’s featured partner pick.

I chose this as the featured deal today for a couple of reasons… 1 – because at $17 (but only through Monday, June 12) that’s less than a buck a report, so it’s an absolutely ridiculously good deal; and

2 – because short reports and mini classes are going to feature so heavily in my new adventure, that it’s just too good a deal to pass up.

Not only do you get these 20 short reports, but you’ll also get the “Grow Your Biz with Short Reports” guide as well, so you’ll know exactly what to do with them. They’ve even put a list of things you can use them for right on the sales page.
