Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

It`s great when others are doing marketing and promotion for your business.  The following all came about during the month of October.  A few came about from being on Twitter, other resulted from people contacting me after having seen my StartupNation Home-Based 100 "campaigning" efforts, one was due to a speaking engagement, and one evolved from responding to a HelpAReporterOut.com resource request:

• Inside Digital Design: Brands, Logos and Identity Crisis

Thanks Janie!  It`s been kind of nuts lately - resulting in six new clients last week, too!  Hope things are well for you as you head into the holiday season.
