Awhile back, an article came out that interviewed a pretty well-known person. Marketing advice was offered, I frothed and flumbled, and so it passed out of my mind. For the most part. I’ve come upon mentions of that article here and there. Some people are dissing it while others are giving it acclaim, but recently… Continue reading He wrote ten books so he must know his stuff
