I took a much needed break on Friday and Saturday from posting. With my daughter graduating from high school in a few days our home has been a busy place.
However I have spent a great deal of time this last week in the founders forum and there is much going on there. We have all been very busy tweaking Booster and every tiny thing has been discussed. I can tell you, first hand... All is VERY Good! They are making Booster even better for us, with more announcements to come.
I do want to share with you today some great marketing information from another Founder that I think many of you may enjoy trying. Some of you have created marketing pages to use as an advertising tool to promote your SQIP business. If you have done this, you may want to read this information.
Below is her post in the F.F. that I am forwarding to you all here now. Let me know if any of you decide to try this and if you see notable results. I am going to try some of these myself too.
Take care on this beautiful day!
Shelley

Press releases are one of the ways businesses are promoted. Another is by announcement. I just posted about Sqip on http://www.launchfeed.com/
EXAMPLE: You can see my entry here http://www.launchfeed.com/launches/view/1242590823 I used my domain link for this one.
Here's a list of other such sites where you can do the same thing I did. Maybe tell us here if you do; so we don't compete in the same site with our links.
Note that I did not advertise Sqip as a make-money opp at all, but as a new social portal where business people can get their products noticed....get your stuff set up now before the crowds come, etc. Business people will find the compensation plan after they hit your link. They will know what to do. Of course it's up to you what you publish. This is just my approach
Important additional note! These sites all have RSS Feeds which get picked up by other sites and spread all over the web.
