My Kindle Book
Tweet One of my goals for 2012 is to start publishing some quality books on Kindle. I have almost finished writing my first one.

Tweet It is interesting. Since my client first approached me asking if I had seen the White House Squeeze page, I have been paying much more attention to President Obama’s marketing strategies.

Tweet As Cyber Monday in the United States is almost upon us this seems like a pretty good time to do a review of Webhosting. I use three different webhosts and I thought I would do a brief overview of all three below and give an honorable mention to a webhost that I don’t use but several people I respect do.

I just saw this video from the Peru Tourist Board (www.visitperu.com), which gives some idea of the fantastic diversity of this wonderful country. Hope you enjoy it!
