FTI #340: Don't read this today. Unless...
Happy holidays!
Yes, I'm sending this on Christmas morning.
But don't read it today.
Instead, relax with family and friends and give yourself a break from the audience and business growth scheming.
Unless...
Whatever you have planned for today is far from relaxing and you could use something to distract you from all the holiday "fun."
In that case, I'm happy to help.
Now, on to this week's ideas...

My Final Words Of The Week
Last week, Mike Leip bought an ad in my newsletter to promote his Twitter account.
Smart move.
It led 456 (and counting) of my readers to check out his profile.
You can see what his ad said here if you want some inspiration for your own.
And reserve one to promote your own social account here.
Have an interesting week!
