This week I would like to share a friendly reminder regarding keeping on top of your publicity and mentions on the web. It’s my marketing take action task for this week, inspired by Leslie Saeta’s 30 day marketing challenge post here. Google alerts sends you updates based on a search term, so you can keep [...]
Doodling away variations of girls. A head here and a head there…brewing in my head! I think it’s going to end up being a cute little print…
