		<title>What Should You Do If You Don’t Get Social Media?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many of my local business clients say that they just don’t get social media. They tell me they just don’t understand how using social media is going to get them more business.

		<title>Outsourcing Saved My Business (Go Read Soren’s Post)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[He made an excellent post about outsourcing, and I'll be frank, there's an affiliate link in his post, for a product I think is a must-have. If I had gotten any sleep last night before watching the twins (during my mastermind call!) I would probably go and try to sign up as an affiliate myself. ]]></description>

		<title>Why Creating Mini-Viral Success Brings MORE Traffic and Sales Than the Hyper-Viral</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It boils down to this. No matter who you are, it seems comparatively easy to get 100 people to do the same thing, to go in the same direction. By comparison, especially if you’re new to online marketing, it seems much more difficult to get 10,000 people to do the same thing. You may find [...]]]></description>
