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.

So I did this last year and really enjoyed it.  Ideally this post would have been up right after the new year, but I just haven’t had the time.  I’ve picked my favorite 8 images for you to vote on.

Rules:

• Only 1 vote per IP address.  And Yes, I can tell. (if you have a lot of friends voting from work that happen to run off of one IP address and they have trouble just shoot me an email.  I’ll make sure their vote counts.)
• Repeat rule #1. 
• Contest runs from right NOW til midnight on the 24th.

Remember to tell everyone you know to vote.  You can use email, facebook, twitter, personal blogs and even the telephone to get your message out.  The image with the most votes wins.  The winner will get a $200 credit on their next session so let the voting begin!

Thank you to all of my clients.  It is because of you and your loyalty that I get to do what I love.  May you have a very blessed year in 2010!
