Day: September 19, 2006

I’ve made and posted my first podcast. Yes, it’s got some technical issues, but for a first try, I think it’s safe to say it doesn’t entirely suck. You can subscribe to it here. It’s called Creative Lube.

The thinking behind the name is simply that I want it to be something that functions as grease for your creative business wheels. Some editions will be me talking about an issue I think is important, but often it will be me answering questions…your questions. So send in those questions! This is your chance to have me answer your question and for you to help others by sharing it.

ASMP Minneapolis/St. Paul is kindly bringing me to their fair neck of the woods to give my New Treatments for PMS (Panic Marketing Syndrome) talk. PMS is that “disease” that creatives often have, where they do little to no marketing when busy, then the phone stops ringing, then they frantically market, then stop again when they get a project…rinse, repeat. The result is feast/famine cashflow and a bad set of nerves, usually. But there are things you can do to get your marketing under control. In this talk, I’ll tell you some of them. And, of course, there will be plenty of time for Q&A too.
That event will be on Monday, October 23rd. On the following day (10/24) I will be available for one-on-one consultations–both in one-hour (ish) and two-hour (ish) blocks. Discounts are available to ASMP members. Call (619.961.5882) or email for details.

I’m excited about the trip and look forward to meeting lots of you there! Book now to be sure of space! And thanks to Steve Niedorf of ASMP-MSP and all the companies who are helping sponsor my trip.
