Why You’ll Have To S.U.C.K. To Be Heard In 2007

by Mike Sigers on December 30, 2006

For my last post of 2006, I’d like to give us all a piece of advice whose very idea was formed after reading the promo for a book I’m going out tonite to buy.

Over the last two days I’ve exchanged a couple of emails with a guy I wish was a close personal friend of mine.
I met him in May of 2002 at an Internet Marketing seminar in Pensacola, FL. He was an attendee, not a speaker. That part soon changed.
