How to fast-track your business into the blogosphere

Have you been looking for the perfect, complete blogging package to help get you fast-tracked into the blogosphere?

Have we got a deal for you!

Let me explain. This past weekend Patsi and I were guest expert speakers at an intensive marketing seminar. Naturally we spoke about blogging for business. Part of the deal when you speak at these types of events is that you get to pitch your products and services.

Me, being very optimistic, produced a lot of conference packages. In fact I produced more than the number of participants who attended. I don't know what I was thinking. Now, though, I have a whole bunch of pink bags strewn around my living room. The bags are filled with our blogging book and audio programs about blogging on CD.

This is where you win. I don't have enough room to store all this product. So rather than wait for the next conference, Patsi suggested we have a pink bag sale and offer you, who have requested info about blogging from us, a chance to pick up one of these packages and save big. I have 20 12 9 5 packages ready to go right now.

Here's what you get:
