What's The Secret To YOUR Own Economy?

I'm curious. How many of you are feeling affected by the economy right now?

Are you worried about your business? Are you looking for more income streams? Do you want to start a business but are afraid this isn't the right time? Or are you doing great right now?

For myself, I'm always interested in looking for more ways to take charge of my OWN life and my OWN business. My nbox is positively flooded with offers to help me make more money, leverage income streams and earn money with social marketing. Although I do read many of them, quite frankly I will also hit the Delete key and send them into email heaven.

I recently received one email though that had me intrigued. Ali Brown (one of my favorite marketing gurus) is offering a free teleclass on Thursday, March 5, called "How to Create Your OWN Strong Economy This Year...With Online Information Marketing."

I'm planning on attending because I want to make the most out of 2009. Will you join me on the call? Click here to join me.

Please share with me your thoughts and questions below. I'd love to know what you really think about your business and the economy right now!

Elance Calling Attention to Social Media

If you've been keeping up with social media you'll know that the list of sites you can leverage to help expose you to your target market and provide value to your audience is growing. There are so many that at times it can be confusing to keep up with it and decide where to focus your efforts.

Internet marketing expert and Elance "friend" Chris Bennett published an article on Frebruary 9th that attempts to provide some insight into a few social media sites that (although they have been around for a while) are now reaching critical mass and have something to offer those who are focusing on Digg and StumbleUpon in their social media efforts.

Have you heard of Reddit.com? How about Sphinn.com? Check out Chris' article for the complete skinny on these and other great sites you can use to attract attention to your business and build relationships online.
