Happy start of the Fourth of July weekend! We all know that you have plans, and we have some awesome round up news for you before you disappear for the holiday weekend. So here we go!
Item One: We’re rolling out our first shiny new membership program!
Well, a test run, at least! We’ve been kicking around the idea of a low key subscription program around here for awhile now, and we’ve finally decided to go ahead and do it! We’re not putting the official sales page up until Monday (mostly so Laura can convince Holly not to refer to it as orgies of copywriting breakthroughs on the actual sales page), but we’re letting you guys know early.
We’re going to have two sessions a month which are open discussion. They’re going to be low price (around $25), and you get to hang out with Holly and Laura and pick our brains about whatever copywriting, product launch, or marketing issue you may have at that time. You can buy tickets to multiple sessions for a discount, or just one at a time if you’re feeling particularly stressed. It will be fun, low key, and a great way to get some professional advice on some specific problems, or to just kick around a new marketing idea.
The first session will be the 15th of this month, so put it on your calendars, and watch for the sales page on Monday.
Item Two: Our Crazy Facebook Consultation
So there was a ton of excitement going on at our Facebook fanpage this week as we reached our 128 Likes goal and then some! 
So of course this now means free consultation! On Tuesday, July 6th, we’re going to have an all day Skype consulting fest where you can book a free 15 minute session with us. If you’re not a FB fan, become one before next Tuesday, and sign up!
Item Three: On exposure and your blogging tank being on empty
There’s been a lot of personal writing and expressing one’s fears going on at the cottage a lot this week, what with Laura’s post on 8000 words of crap and Holly’s guest post over at The Complete Flake about hiding behind our business superhero identities. So we thought to add a few more personal posts that we’ve found around the blogosphere:
- Tony Teegarden talks about being naked on your blog, and while it’s friggin’ scary, it’s also the best thing in the world.
- Allison Nazarian did this great post on your tank hitting empty and how you seriously need to take care of yourself and “fill up your tank” if you want to keep going. And that’s perfectly okay.
- Charlie Gilkey also did a post on writer’s block (or bloggers block) and how it’s hard to get back on the blogging horse, but you’ve got to do it.
And that concludes the roundup! Have a great Fourth of July!
