  • Hi Melanie

    Christmas is all about the giving, and you are super generous to give your readers the forum to promote their holiday specials. There are some fabulous offers available.

    I’ll like to chip in too 🙂

    A few days ago released the Disobedient Directory. A compilation of over 65 resources and tools to solve challenges within your online business.

    If you’re readers would like to grab their copy, they can do so for Free, but this offer is only available until midnight (GMT/UTC) on the 31st of December.

    You can get more info and grab your copy of the directory here : http://www.jackiepurnell.com/dd

    Thanks again Melanie for the opportunity to post this here.
    Have an absolutely brilliant Christmas, and I look forward to more of your great content in 2012.

    • Jackie!!

      It wouldn’t be a holiday celebration of Merry Marketing without you. 😉

      Oooh …

      I’m itching to grab your Disobedient Directory — thanks!

      I most definitely agree with you here …

      “Christmas is all about the giving”

      Have a glorious holiday season and I’ll be looking forward to catching lots of your posts in 2012! 🙂

      • Oh, darn, Jackie. I’m already subscribed to your list so I can’t grab the directory.

        Most likely you’ll be sending out an alternate link to your list … soon? 😉

        • Hi Melanie,

          Yep you’re right…you are on my list 🙂 Emailed the link to all my subscribers last Tues…so it should be hiding in your email somewhere, no bounces on my end.

          If you can’t track it down, give me a holla and I’ll send it out to you again.

          Thanks so much for the lovely comments on the blog too.

          Catch you in 2012 🙂

          • Thanks, Jackie!

            Wouldn’t you know it? The ONE email I didn’t want to miss is buried at sea … that is, buried in a sea of hundreds of messages in my inbox. 🙂

            I’m off to swim the ocean and hunt it down!

  • OOPS for got to mention, must use the code Holiday2011 !!!

    • Hi Ladies

      “fabulous after 40”?

      Do you have anything for someone a little older… say late 50’s?

      I’m asking on behalf of a friend of mnine. LOL

      • LOL!

        My sentiments, exactly.

        I’m asking on behalf of that same friend, Keith. 😉

        • Thank you. LOL
          It’s good to have friends.

          • I’ll concur with that way of thinking, for sure, Keith.

            But more specifically and better yet …

            It’s good to have friends like YOU. 🙂

      • Keith, I see you still have that cute little pink thingy for an avatar.

        Once again, could you possibly switch to something blue? You know — a bit more masculine. 🙂

        Or …

        You could head over to http://gravatar.com and display your REAL mug shot. Up to you.

        • You’re right… don’t want to start any rumours. LOL

          Been busy writing a few posts for the new site.
          Not used to more that one post a month – as you know.

          What would go with WM Web Design?
          Casual or formal?

          • If only I were a web-designing fashionista, Keith …

            I could answer that burning question — “casual or formal”?

            The diplomat inside of me is screaming …

            Is there something in between?! A compromise of any kind? LOL

  • Thanks for this opportunity! We are having a special 20% off EVERYTHING in our store or at http://www.fabulousafter40.com
    !
    http://www.fabulousafter40.com/ebooks/

    • “Fabulous after 40” …

      Kidding aside …

  • This is a great give away you have here. Love it.So here is my offer:

    Need to get back in shape after the holidays, or better yet keep the weight off while you enjoy the feasting! Join me on ichange for FREE http://www.ichange.com/user/KathleenGoldson
    Have a great Holiday.

    • Howdy, Kathleen, and thanks for swinging by to share your offer!

      Whether most of us want to say it out loud or not …

      The worry of gaining weight or maintaining our weight throughout the holidays is an issue. Cookies, candy canes, pastries … and all those sugarplums dancing in our heads … are tempting and staring us in the face over the next couple of weeks.

      And working in a hospital environment doesn’t help, either!

      Patients keep bringing in all those luscious holiday treats to share with the staff. 😉

  • Hi Mel What a great idea, which reinforces my belief that you have the brain of a creative genius… or a criminal mastermind.
    I reserve judgement on a final decision.

    My offer is to come on over to my modest little site and buy a Genesis WordPress theme.

    Your site is a Genesis theme and so is mine.
    With a genesis theme you get a fantastic looking site with inbuilt SEO and fast page load times.

    Mashable calls Genesis…
    “The “best of the best” among premium frameworks.
    It’s no wonder over 60,000 online publishers trust Genesis to provide a solid foundation for their sites.”

    Please take a look.
    Link is… http://www.wmwebdesign.co.uk/genesis-framework-from-studiopress/
    Look forward to seeing you over there.

    • Hi Keith!

      Hope I didn’t twist your arm too hard to encourage you to get your fanny over here and share something cool with us.

      I know how bashful you can be. 🙂

      Your new site is nothing short of fabulous and I’m wishing you loads of well-deserved success!

      ” ,,, creative genius… or a criminal mastermind.”

      The jury is still out. LOL

  • My novel, Palaces & Calluses, is only 99 cents from Amazon.

    Here’s some reviews:

    “The author’s writing is elegant and natural with beautifully written descriptions that are built almost in a linear, straight to the point fashion, without a hint of pretentiousness.”

    “I sat down to read a little before I went to bed, it ended up being a very late night as I couldn’t put it down! It is the first part of a series and I cannot wait for the next installment.”

    “I’m already looking forward to the next installment of The Cotswolds Chronicles. Rebecca Woodhead has found her niche and her passion!”

    “I found it dificult to put down and read the whole thing over a period of a few days.”
