MarketingSherpa.com
http://marketingsherpa.com/
A long time favorite, we tend to read the newsletters frm beginning
to end, and
then print them for later use. There is so much here that it is mind
bogging
on your first visit. There are also a variety of great books, reports,
etc for
purchase, but an incredible of material free through their opt-in
newsletters
and archives. Sign up for them all and stick this in your Fave file
- it's a definite
keeper! Oh - and it's a woman-owned site (probably why it is so totally
terif!)

CornerBarPr.com
http://www.cornerbarpr.com
This is a witty, cynical barbed wire humor look at the world of PR.
At first
glance, you might be tempted to toss it off as fluffy with no content
but remember the old saying "many a truth is said in jest"?
There's a lot to learn
here about what works and what doesn't in today's market. Just keep
an open
mind and you will have many "ah ha" moments here!
Bill Stoller's Publicity Insider
http://www.publicityinsider.com
A great site with practical, useful information learned from someone
that's been
on the front line of news and PR. No fluff, at times even a bit gruff,
this is a site
that has a lot to offer, including one of the best free newsletters
I have found so
far. Sound advice and a good template for submitting your press release,
too!
Clickz.com
http://www.clickz.com/
Clickz.com is part of the Internet.com family of news sites, and
provides a
constant stream of current & relevant stats and case studies
of marketing
and PR efforts online. A wide variety of free newsletters are available,
too,
allowing you to stay in touch with changes in consumer buying trends
online
as well as current effectiveness of various types of onlline marketing
- without
spending a fortune for the advice!
Wilson Web

Dr. Ralph Wilson formed Wilson Internet Services at the very beginning
of the
commercial Internet in 1995 to help small to medium businesses & learn
how
to use the Internet effectively. Today, the site is still one of
the best online
resources for marketing and PR advice, whether you are a novice or
a pro.
Internet Marketing Terms
http://www.marketingterms.com
Ever feel lost when trying to figure out the difference between CTR & CPC?
Is "beyond the banner" like "over the rainbow" or
does it really mean something
in the online ad world? Here's the place to go to bring some clarity
to a really
confusing new world of words!

The PR Academy
http://www.learnpr.com/
This unique site offers several PR courses, one specifically designed
for the
freelancer or entrepreneur. At $197, you might think the tuition
is steep but
it is good enough that it is accredited through Portland State University
in
Portland, Ore., so it is not the usual online "class" -
this one is the real deal!
