Re: I really feel great today because . . . . . - Thanks David and GT, Needless to say, I am very excited about the opportunity. In fact, I am already making plans for what I want in 2011, since I will be able to use the tv show's marketing tools driving traffic from their site back to my blog once I've taped the show in November. Once I got the contract, it took me all of 60 seconds to update my blog with the "Coming soon" message/link. Can't wait to post updates. This is a great forum! Everyone is so supportive. Aneshia
Re: Twiiter an sales - Lots of different ways soldlab. I would start with: 1) Identify your ideal accounts and see if they're on Twitter. Get to know them and what they're interested in. Reply to their tweets and get on their radar screens. Before long they'll be checking out your profile and will be curious as to what you're selling. 2) Follow key words that relate to your industry. Find people who have a problem that you can solve and offer to help. Get involved in the discussion around your industry and be seen as an expert. Good luck!
