August is for marketing

As soon as it hit August last Friday, things quieted down. Vacation is in the air (maybe it's just the quiet I notice).

This is my favorite time of year for marketing. This is me-marketing time. I get to do all those things I never have time for.

You want to know what I'm doing?

Here's what's on my big To Do list:

• Writing articles for MarketingProfs, Rain Today and a few other places my prospects visit when they're looking for marketing help.
  (Where can you submit articles that will be seen by your prospects?)

• Developing new ideas for topics I can speak on, which I'm doing in collaboration with a couple other experts, which makes it much more interesting and enjoyable.
  (Who can you collaborate with and where can you give a workshop or presentation?)

• Planning my post-Labor Day marketing push: identifying my best prospects, thinking about how to approach them, what to offer
  (How will you take advantage of the shot-in-the-arm productivity that follows a lazy summer?)

What are you going to commit to for the remainder of August?
