Praise is indeed rare from editors. Congrats!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your promo efforts. I'm always interested in how well these things do. That Twitter ad was ridiculous! $5 per click?

I just can't touch them, as that's the nurses's job. I have a cart that I push with a bunch of stuff. I even have crossword puzzles and coloring pages if a patient is a child. :)Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-43861080642420441342016-07-08T11:09:00.547-04:002016-07-08T11:09:00.547-04:00I think this was an excellent compliment since edi...I think this was an excellent compliment since editors, I would suspect, are very picky.

I made such a terrible (and expensive) mistake once that I've never gone that route again - folks either like my work or they don't. As in all of my business ventures, word of mouth is the truest and most effective form of advertising. True, it entails quite a bit of mingling with your target audience - I'm still learning - but you have it down to an art!<br />Cheers to you and volunteering! I can just imagine how inspiring it will be and hope you'll share the experience in some of your endlessly interesting posts :-)diedre Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12772557495518846226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-43379302258818856152016-07-07T11:16:37.223-04:002016-07-07T11:16:37.223-04:00Exactly.
