Welcome back! It's good to see you again. Please note that I am now publishing all new material at my hub site: In Context Blog

This may not look like an actionable productivity workflow post, but it is. In fact, I think that it is a very important post for three reasons:

1. It is about learning some new things that you can put into action right away.
2. It is news about one of those chances that only comes around once in a while.
3. There is a contest for all of you at the end!

I am not usually one to use hyperbole, but this is going to be good. I am going to take this course. Why?
Because I just started a new site and I want to stop working for other people (I want to just work for you, dear readers)! Also, I have been working on a media site/e-learning product of my own, and I have learned some very valuable marketing lessons from Naomi, lessons that I have been able to put into action right away.

In fact, here is my own receipt information, I just signed up myself:

Call this post Marketing in Context

Naomi and Havi are starting a new teleconference training course. It’s about Marketing and Promoting your business. If it’s anything like her SEO Ninja course you’re going to want to jump on it.

The course starts next Wednesday, 10 Sept, and is about:

This is a 6 week power course for creative types, small business owners, and people who are (understandably) too busy freaking out to properly live their dreams.

Six weeks of learning, soothing, ass-kicking, fear erasing, question answering, and some other things that end with “ing”.

It’s a course for people who want to get their business — sometimes referred to as “that thing that you’ve always wanted to do and maybe you might get paid a living wage for it someday but it’s not really, you know, a business business” — rocking and rolling.

It’s for people who are ready to clear out the crap that’s standing in the way of their awesome life and start having more fun and making some money doing it.

As you know, I only link to products/services that I have actually used and can personally recommend (like these [link]). Obviously this course has not happened yet, so I have not used it. But I am going to take the course. Because I know Naomi, I read her blog to learn internet marketing, and I know others that have used her personal coaching to great advantage. I trust her to provide value (and some swear words, sorry).

So, if you are interested in learning how to promote your own small business (or large business for that matter), click on that Picture up above. Or this link. Yes it is an affiliate link, and yes, I will get a little slice of the fee.

The Productivity in Context Marketing Contest

Here is the contest:
If at least 10 of you sign up for this course, I’ll make my money back and be able to pay for one of you to take the course too. So, let’s forward this article to all of the people that you know that may be interested in learning innovative marketing techniques from couple of very creative gals.

Send me an e-mail so I know that you or they signed up for the course. As soon as 10 people sign up I will select one at random and send you the course fee via Pay Pal. Remember that the course starts next Wednesday!
