Free (But Professional) Web Marketing Tutorials

I attended a Girl Scout expo (a cool trade show for girls) over the weekend with my wife & daughter and sat in in a "cookie marketing" break-out session put on by a Ms. Lorrie Thomas who herself had broken into the hard-knock business world by selling cookies as a Girl Scout.

She gave a terrific 30-minute sales & marketing primer that my daughter picked up some tips from ("Ask 'How may boxes would you like?', not 'Would you like to buy cookies?'")

While I'm sure she could still move a boatload of cookies, Ms. Thomas' current expertise is in helping marketing challenged entrepreneurs with their web marketing efforts through her company Web Marketing Therapy. I asked about her project rates and they were very reasonable. I spent twice as much when I launched my two companies in 1996.

She suggested that business owners could get to know what sort of work they do by checking out the "Free Therapy" her company provides at their website. She invited TA members to help themselves to all her firm's free advice by clicking here.
