Thanks, as ever, Elizabeth, for these great links. It’s good to see there are some fine promo links this time. I honestly need to think about how I do promo, so those ideas will no doubt be helpful.
I think we all should probably review our approach to promo…maybe as often as twice a year, since everything changes so quickly with social media. Hope you have a great week!
Thanks for including the IWSG post!
Another great post from the IWSG!
I need to follow more of your sources here through my DLP Twitter.
There are some excellent follows in there!
