		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		&#160;2010 didn't start off amazingly well here at Market My Novel.
I could give you a lot of excuses why. I was burned out, I launched a new blog, was looking for more freelance work, etc.
The real reason? My blog wasn't working.
That's right. Miss Social Media Diva had a blog program that didn't work, and it [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Breasts Don&#8217;t Have It</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		Recently, I've received an influx of invites on Facebook from people who enjoy showing off their body parts.
Typically, I just ignore them until they go away. While I'm not a prude, I'm also not interested in networking with folks who cannot have some sense of decorum in a network I use for both personal and [...]]]></description>

That means your rankings in Google could get a lot better - especially if you are plugged in to Facebook.

		<title>Does Social Media Scare You?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		In my business life, I work with clients to develop dynamic social media plans that connect them with customers, donors, volunteers and fellow professionals.




When it comes to social media, I constantly encounter fear. Fear of the unknown. Fear of failure. Fear of trolls and nasty commenters. Fear of brand damage.




And just plain FEAR.




This year, I'm [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		When I read Terri Garey's Nicki Styx series, I cannot help but picture the clothes, shoes and all things vintage in the protagonist's shop, Handbags and Gladrags.

		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
I've always been a huge proponent of self publishing.


Years ago, self publishing wasn't easy. Many authors ended up with boxes of books gathering dust in their garages. They wrote the books and paid to publish, but they had a hard time finding buyers for them.


With the explosion of the Internet and social media, the publishing [...]]]></description>
