I want to brag about one of the many great people here... Lisa Penosky

Lisa came to my class and she took an action. Lisa not only signed up with a full profile and picture of her but begin looking for ways to help people here. You can do it too with a little bit of time. Start anywhere, but start! This is where the future of business will be. Those who figure out that the customer wants to connect to real people that have the courage to connect on line and do not hide behind a logo or name. The customer wants to know YOU before they trust YOU with their money. How do YOU relate to others on-line? What do others say about YOU on-line? Are you someone who lets others contribute to YOU? Just inside252.com is a completely free place to build a web presence and really does not take a lot of time--but you have to do it! This is what "transparency means" at a small business level. This also enhances your paid advertising by many times. This can be a way to save small towns in America if the individuals in the town will take action and realize the world wants to hear their good stuff and they have the power to share it right NOW!

Lisa wrote this kind note that she said I could share:

I attended Martin's seminar on "Marketing Your Business Online", and was thrilled to learn about all sorts of resources I didn't know existed! I joined Inside252, which I found to be a fantastic resource for collaborating with other local businesses. I'm also on Linked In, Facebook, and MySpace.

I'm working on getting businesses I work with in the community to join Inside252 as a quick and easy way to share ideas and stay in touch. We do some cooperative marketing together, and it will be a great way to share ideas within the group.

I recently became a community "organizer" on Inside252. I saw the want ad from Pat, the list owner, and wanted to assist other people in using this medium to help their businesses.

Thank you very much for coming down and sharing such great information!
