- Advertising
We offer several co-operative advertising opportunities for indie business. We started co-op advertising back in 2005, after becoming frustrated with the astronomical expense of advertising our indie business. By sharing the expense with other indie businesses, we found we were able to get a much bigger bang for our buck. These co-ops grew so popular that over the years we launched several co-op advertising websites so more indie entrepreneur's could benefit. Learn more...

"I just purchased two of your e-books (Marketing With A Plan & Google Analytics). I am working through the Marketing With A Plan book and find it very easy (informative & fun as well) to follow. Your Coversion calculator would really help me out with developing my marketing plan for this year. Thank you so much for sharing this with us! "

"Meredith, I’m so glad I met you! I have implemented and studied little by little what you have taught and by golly! It’s working. And it does take time and you do have to maintain it. I thought, post a website and walk away. But noooo, it needs to be nourished and maintained and researched and tweaked and on and on. You woke me up to new frontiers, I’ve reached new potential sales and I thank you for that!"
