-= Great Reads =-

Great Reads are posts from other blogs that I recently read and trully enjoyed. There are far too many great posts so I can’t list them all. I add a half dozen or so and stop until next issue. Otherwise it will begin to look like some cheap directory. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did.

-= Great Lines =-

Great Lines are just email subject lines that I received that actually caused me to open the email. It doesn’t mean that the product or service is any good – I have no idea. It doesn’t even mean the sender is the original author of the subject line or copy. It’s simply face value and just my opinion. What do you think?

1. “Brian, your 2009 ACTION PLAN is inside this email” by Michael Green
2. “Brian, I will let you try my membership site free” by Dirk Dupon
3. “Please Join Me On The Radio Today Brian” by Willie Crawford
4. “Is your brand aging? Find out with this 5-point checklist” Great line but no name anywhere
5. “How to Spot the Next Big Trend” by Charlie Page

-= Not So Famous Quotes to Ponder =-

Ok, these guys aren’t famous YET but it’s still great quotes:

“We’ve been trained for decades that promotion and advertising are mostly one-way announcements and not two-way conversations.”
~ John Dilbeck

“People no longer use ads as a way to inform themselves about buying decisions.  Instead they utilize the easily accessible opinions, reviews, and testimonials of bloggers and interact with others via social media to come to their own conclusions.”
~ Gyutae Park
