I am starting a new business, kind of a social media boot camp for companies who want to know how to use social media (Twitter, FaceBook, SEO, etc) to break out online without being SPAM.
Wish me luck.  |

Luck!
It's not an easy business, although I don't know that it' *harder* than the next one. I'd imagine a lot depends on breaking thru the clutter which would also be (at least some of) the service you are selling.  Yay for you!

I'd wish you luck, but I don't think you need it. You'll kick ass just fine without.

Good wishes from me as well. New challenges are (scary) but exciting as well. |

The logo in my head has class AND technology as the feel. Wine glass shaped U's, city scape looking letters.... sadly, not able to make it appear on paper yet. Why is this SO EASY when I do it for other people but not me?? blech |

The business is live. Currently using a canned template and no logo while we design what we want this weekend, you can watch as new pages, posts and features are added over the next several days. Uptown Uncorked
We are booking weekend seminars starting at the end of September, but are already taking booking for one-on-one in office sessions now in the Boston or DC area (Boston - MA - NH gets me, DC - MD - VA gets Triston) |

A chapbook is a detailed family history and family tree. It reads more like a novel than a dry geneology text. They are actually pretty cool, and very expensive to do. |
