This post is a long time coming so I apologize for that.  I’m a very picky person by nature and I insisted on finishing this new site before I blogged again. 

So welcome to the new site!  I really hope you find it easy to navigate and full of great images. 

(drum-roll please)

Congratulations to the 2009 winner!  I contacted his mother, Angel, some time ago with the news so now it’s your turn.  This was the winning image…

Keep an eye on the blog in the coming week for information on our 2nd annual Single Parent Contest and how to enter yourself or the single parent in your life to win big!

So all I hear about lately is how social and viral marketing are the wave of the future.  I don’t know, but I do know that most of us don’t go a day without checking our facebook accounts.  Is social marketing all it’s cracked up to be or is it just hype?  Maybe just a phase?  I say we test this theory with a little experiment.

How many of you have a personal blog?  A website?  Don’t raise your hand, it’s not like I can actually see you.    If you are a past or current client you already know that every time you send a new client my way you’ve earned a $25 credit.  So here is the experiment part.  Listen up because if this works it’s going to make some of you very happy!

If you put a link to my site up on your blog or website you will earn a $35 credit for every referral that comes from you.  So let me break it down like this:

• client must complete session before credit is given to you
• 6 referrals that come as a result of your link will earn you a free session plus the credit you’ve earned.
• 12 referrals gives you a free session, 10×10 album plus the credits you’ve earned.
• link on your site must be a static link.  It can’t be a link in one post.

What is a referral?  A referral is when a new client books, completes and orders from their session.

Let’s see if all this hype is real.  It’s going to be interesting as so many people have blogs anymore.  If you add a link let me know where it’s at and make sure you let all your blogger friends know about this! (or you could not tell them and earn all the session credits for yourself!) 

Happy Blogging!

On a different note.  I will be launching a brand new site hopefully (fingers crossed) in the next couple of weeks.  It’s going to look very different so don’t think you went to the wrong site! 

I will be doing the Single Parent Contest again this year.  Keep your eyes open for information on that towards the end of February and start thinking of some deserving single mom’s and dad’s.
