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!)

glance, you might be tempted to toss it off as fluffy with no contenthttp://www.womensnet.net.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!

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!
