Vertical Response
I recently worked with Vertical Response while doing some work for Friends of Trees. I enjoyed the program and thought I’d offer it to clients.

You, Me and Email Marketing

Email Marketing
I want to make you an offer regarding Constant Contact which I believe will be to our mutual benefit.
I have been a Constant Contact business partner for the past 4 years. I know the product and company well. As a business partner, I hear about improvements early. I also get other perks – one of them being a small monthly percentage of the $ that people who sign up with my affiliate link pay to Constant Contact.
1. To sign up as an affiliate of mine if you’re just getting started, simply click on this link and sign up. If you’d be willing to share this link with people, I would appreciate it greatly.

Now, here’s my offer to you!
1. I will look over an email from you and provide feedback on things I would do to improve your email such as provide layout advice, additional social networking effective practices, and feedback on better use of graphics.
2. I will provide you with support for any problems you’re experiencing if you don’t want to go through Constant Contact’s (excellent, btw) support system
3. I will provide some consulting around increasing your reach.
4. If you like I will send you (from time to time) an email that outlines changes in Constant Contact.
5. I will share tips and tricks for integrating your e-mail newsletter into social media platforms.
If any or all of that sounds good, please either take the actions above, or contact me for further discussion via email or phone (503-358-0029)
Thanks for your good work in the world.

Facebook for artists, healers, musicians and small businesses

People have been asking me questions about Facebook, lately, and in the past I’ve taught a few classroom-style labs, so it seems like this would be useful to offer.
We’ll cover the basics and then dig into some recent changes around FB fan pages and how to admin/use them. (we might also get to Twitter, LinkedIn and pointed sticks (see Monty Python))
Next Class: 5/5/11 : 11am-1pm @ The Happy Clam
Here’s a little background on some of what’s possible with one company, Wileyware, that I do the fan page for:
https://albertideation.com/wileyware/
RSVP by paypal-ing me @ albertkaufman@gmail.com – $11
Or, if you’d like to pay at the door, that’s fine – you still need to RSVP with me to guarantee a spot. I’ll cap the meeting at 11 – see a trend ?
There’s wi-fi here, please bring a lap-top, though that’s not absolutely necessary.
Questions are welcome, and if you can’t make this one but would like to do it another time, let me know. I’ll also try to write up some notes, like this one (https://albertideation.com/2011/01/26/fblists/ ) on my site which will capture some of what we learn together.
To prepare, please friend me on FB, and create a FB fan page for your biz.
