Thanks for visiting!

Just poking around my feed reader this morning and there is so much great stuff out there you oughtta see. For example,

• First off, Seth Godin thinks you should be blogging, even in you only feel like you have one post in you.
• Steve Farber pulls up an old article of his about a Kit-Kat Tale that talks about stupid things we sometimes do while traveling. You’ll want to read all the way down to the end to get the most out of this one.
• Aaron Brazell is getting fed up with bogus Twitter marketing practices. And he’s right. When you use social media sites to promote your business, make sure you are building relationships with people first. And don’t just shove links at them!
• Finally, Mike Sigers shares with us a real world example of a simple way to turn a business that’s failing horribly into a huge success. Go check it out to find out how.

Grab yourself a cup of coffee and enjoy!

Arriving at SOBCon-07

Gorgeous and I arrived at the Sofitel Chicago O’Hare yesterday. Man what a nice hotel!

We knew we were in good hands when the shuttle driver offered us a complimentary water for the 10 minute ride from the airport to the hotel.

We met with some of the hotel staff and walked through the rooms where we will be meeting for the conference. Everything we’ve seen so far seems top notch.

As the day progressed we caught up with Liz Strauss, who was talking with Lorrelle Van Fossen at the front desk. Right beside Rodney Rumford.

I had to laugh because Lorrelle happened to be wearing an outfit that was the same color as her blog. As I walked up I said to myself, “That must be Lorrelle.” The outfit seemed perfect.

We got a peek at Lorrelle’s new book on Blogging Tips which every attendee will get complimentary. The book is brand new. In fact, the book hasn’t even been released yet. The official release is tonight at the conference. I’m here to tell you the book is packed with great information that you can actually use to take your blogging to the next level. After it is officially released I’ll get you a link so y’all can get your own copy.

We all ended up in the lobby near the bar as the evening progressed. Liz and I caught Steve Farber checking in and went over to introduce ourselves. And before the evening was out, Diego Orjuela came by and sat down to chat with us.

All in all a good day. And things haven’t even gotten started yet!
