Comment by Peggy Gaffney on March 10, 2011 at 4:48pm: Yes - we are getting spammed AGAIN. It is annoying, but it is hard to filter out spammers when they sign up for a list.

Comment by Peggy Gaffney on March 9, 2011 at 10:25pm: Kristen - I'm glad you got so much from the webinar. They have these every week. I am getting a huge marketing education and it costs nothing. This answers so many questions that we have on how to grow our small businesses.

Comment by Kirsten McDonough on March 9, 2011 at 8:58pm: Hello Everyone,

I just completed my first Webinar that Peggy Gaffney had suggested. They are terrific and very helpful. You can find them at http://www.bizlaunch.ca/seminars.php. I am working on updating my profile and joining all the social networking links that would pertain to my business. This is one step closer.

Comment by Shay Paquet on March 9, 2011 at 2:13pm: Hi ladies,

I was recently approached by a local coffee shop that would like to sell my cookies. Does anyone have any advice on wholesale selling? Is there a standard discount?

Right now, my confections are reasonably priced and made to order. Here is a link to my Etsy shop. I would love to hear some feedback.

Thanks :)

Comment by Peggy Gaffney on March 7, 2011 at 10:03am: I am passing on the link to a series of webinars I have been taking to help me grow my business. They have been great. They last about one hour and are packed with tons of down to earth, practical information. The presenter, Andrew, goes very fast to cover everything, so what I do is open a blank word document and shrink it to fit on only part of the page. As he speaks, I take notes typing as fast as I can. I'm better doing it this way than writing. By the time each session is done I feel that I have one more tool to make my business grow. This week there are five sessions. The link is http://www.bizlaunch.ca/seminars.php. This is the group that was recommended to us by the speaker from Deluxe when we were all in NYC. Check it out.

Comment by Kristina Ackerman on March 6, 2011 at 12:38pm: Can't spammers be removed/banned from the group somehow? By email and IP address?

Comment by Peggy Gaffney on March 4, 2011 at 8:55pm: I have asked Caitlin to do something about the spam.

Comment by Rachel Gaffney on March 4, 2011 at 8:52pm: Betty...can you please STOP FILLING MY INBOX WITH SPAM....Thank You

Comment by Toni {Skye Media Group} on February 25, 2011 at 6:05pm: Now that it's tax season getting into the business side of website design is all the more real. I'm super organized so it's not that hard to gather what I need, but working with others on their projects and putting me and my business out there is trying. I work mostly through social network and referrals. I'm still working on the mingle & network piece. I hope this group has or knows of any DID events that's close to me.
