Did You Get Your Letter?

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

About 2 weeks ago, we mailed a letter to all Telesummit alumni. We decided to try out the mail thing because some attendees complained about not receiving our emails.

So, to quell the worry and to answer your questions, we thought that having a few pages authored by me, Leesa Barnes, would be a great way to inform you of what’s going on.

And man, was it ever a good choice. One attendee had this to say to me over Twitter:

BTW, got your postal letter today. Love direct mail but so few do it. Thanks for kickin’ it old school…and a sticker, too!

Aw, shucks! Who knew that such a old piece of marketing could add such an emotional and personal touch?

So what that I was late…I’m still really excited!

I found out about Leesa’s Social Media Summit just the other day, and I immediately signed up but many days late. I’m probably going to up many nights, catching up on all this - and I’m really psyched!I’m about to start my podcast interviews of “Contemporary Amazons” on March 7th when I interview Jessica Valenti, author of Full Frontal Feminism - A Young Woman’s Guide to Why Feminism Matters and blogger extraordinaire of Feministing.com.

Podcasting occurred to me and seemed like a great way to create more buzz and excitement about my work training women into power and success. So, thinking of doing a podcast series - but I don’t know that much about HOW to do it - makes this summit a perfect fit for me.

Imagine my delight in the (magical) sequence of events that led me to Leesa’s work.

For now, I merely wanted to share my website and blog sites (check them both out, and feedback is welcomed), let you all know that I’ve joined the tribe, and tell you that I’m a hungry student whose willing to admit that “ignorance is not bliss”.

Looking forward to “meeting” you!
