What does every good marketer really do? He creates relationships. She make friends. When you begin to think of marketing in this way, everything about marketing becomes more fun. Suddenly there is no foreignness, no fear, no feelings of inadequacy. We can all make friends. It's a talent we've had since we were little children. Use it.

Always do your best. And always, always have fun.

Lori said...: A-fucking-MEN! I've been preaching and preaching to writers to stop selling themselves short - it's killing us all. If you let one person undervalue you, you've screwed yourself and your fellow writers. It's a business, dammit! Act like a business person and not some insecure little simp who can't live without accolades. Accolades don't pay the mortgage!; 5/5/08 12:47 PM
