{ Isn't she cute? }
I have a secret to success. I surround myself with really amazing women and learn from them. My friend Jessica, of JessicaKnows, is the hardest working woman on the Internet.
She answers email from me late at night**, even though she is going to bed, when I ask her to write some amazing letter, description, article. She makes my blunderingly crazy ideas sound all fancy and polished.
When I asked her to help me teach women how to contact companies to get sponsored to go to blog conferences she said sure! {Of course, 'cause that is how she is}
Then, she disappeared for a week. I hardly saw her. Where did she go? Homegirl was hammering out this little masterpiece ebook/workbook for us. I read it today and it rawked my sawks. She taught me so much, and I host my own blog conference. It proves that there is always more to learn!
I want to give a copy away today because it is such an amazing resource. If you want to learn how to market yourself and your blog, and want to learn how to rawk it like a bloggy rawkstar then you must read her workbook.

My blog is – From Dominique’s Desk
It is a place whereby I share my daily trials and experience as a mother to two active boys.
My favourite Jessica Know’s post is
http://jessicaknows.com/2008/12/getting-organized-day-3-of-15-days-of-new-years-resolutions/
My blog is Mama Says – Disorganized, Discombobulated, and Indomitable mother of 7 children, trying to get my act together before they all graduate high school. Here’s where I write about everything that makes my husband’s eyes glaze over.
I haven’t visited Jessica’s site, but I’m loving her Moleskine notebook post! As a freelance writer I’ve heard tale of the Legendary Moleskine but could never figure out what the fuss was all about. Now I know!
I’ve got two blogs to keep up with. The first is But Why Mommy where I blog about my daughter, her dinos and my crazy peeing cat.
My second blog is newer Juniper and Coffee. It follows my year of crafting dangerously, where I plan to craft every day for a year. I’m also going to blog about all of the wonderful crafty people who inspire me.
Jessica’s post on Day 12 of 15 New Year’s resolutions on pursuing and learning new things hits close to my heart. Its kind of what my new blog is all about.
I blog at PENSIEVE and in two words, it’s magically delicious. It’s Seinfeldian….it’s Forrest Gumpian…. It’s about nothing and everything–parenting & kids, marriage, encouragement, faith, cooking, photography, friendship…slice of life. Definitely a humorous bent
.

Jessica’s book would help me, help you
I kinda figure you’re expecting my comments!!
xo
I’m CanCan from MomMostTraveled.com
I’m a globe-trotting mother of two preschoolers. I blog travel tips, advice, and sweet giveaways! I am the Mom most traveled, and THAT has made all of the difference!
I loved 15days with Jessica, but my favorite more recent post was http://jessicaknows.com/2008/12/connecting-more-with-my-husband-day-11-of-15-days-of-new-years-resolutions/
I really needed that reminder!
I want to win this ebook b/c I actually tried to buy it but my paypal wouldn’t cooperate. I’m traveling in Laos right now so paypal thinks I’m fraudulent. But it’s ME, PAYPAL! Don’t you remember ME? The ISP has changed but my feelings for paypal remain the same!
Oh, so many blogs to choose from! Decisions, decisions!
First and foremost, I am a ghostwriter (http://tinamcallister.com) and budding coach for everything ebooks. I help busy professionals create books (print and electronic) to help build credibility, make money, etc.
My current fave post over at JessicaKnows is http://jessicaknows.com/2009/01/go-outside-your-comfort-zone-day-15-of-15-days-of-new-years-resolutions/ because I am a big believer in pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone!! Yes, this coming from a born introvert, believe it or not!
I did re-tweet your contest (even before I saw this post! – lol) @TinaMc – but I’m lame and don’t know how to get the link for said tweet.
Here is my tweet! http://twitter.com/MomMostTraveled/status/1097286480
I’m @MomMostTraveled
I blog at Wired For Noise (http://wiredfornoise.com)where I get all loud and opinionated. I speak my mind on parenting, politics, and the planet.
I don’t know if I can choose 1 post of Jessica’s to love. If I have to I think I can narrow it down to the http://jessicaknows.com/2008/12/getting-organized-day-3-of-15-days-of-new-years-resolutions/ because I’m am so not organized. Anything that encourages me to get there I love. LOL
I tweeted this too. http://twitter.com/summerm/status/1097297994
My blog is http://prairie-mama.blogspot.com. I talk about the joys and challenges of being a Mom to 3 babes on earth and 1 in heaven. I also talk a lot about my sewing and knitting and how they keep me sane
http://jessicaknows.com/2008/12/finding-the-spirit-of-the-season/ I love this post. It puts into words what I have been feeling.
I tweeted this contests – I’m prairiemama1
My blog is http://www.superdumbsupervillain.com. I’m a stay at home mom of two who never really expected to be smack-dab in the middle of Kansas. I write about parenting and its trappings, all facets of art and design and punk rock and cool stuff, in general.
My favorite Jessica Knows post is her Rules for Twitter:
http://jessicaknows.com/2008/09/jessicaknows-rules-for-twitter/
I’ve never been to any blog conferences but I would love to make the rounds this year if I can finagle a sponsor or two… and possibly a laptop… that would help, too.
Sounds like a great ebook! I’m the freak and organizing addict behind the I’m an Organizing Junkie blog. I blog about all things to do with organizing in hopes of getting others “hooked” along with me.

I just recently found Jessica’s blog and am really enjoying it! Yours too
http://twitter.com/Texasholly/status/1097715757 is my tweet!
I love Jessica’s new blog look and love her 15 days of marketing series, but my favorite is: http://jessicaknows.com/2008/11/15-days-of-marketing-day-thirteen-what-not-to-do-when-marketing-branding-yourself/ because the Tweetlater thankyou for following with the hard sell is absolutely my biggest pet peeve and the reason I don’t even look at DM anymore…UGH!
I write June Cleaver Nirvana about my perky suburban angst. It is silly. You will like it. Go!
i really appreciated Jessica Know’s http://jessicaknows.com/2008/11/15-days-of-marketing-day-one-make-your-blog-or-site-more-pr-friendly/ as i already feel late to this party! i’m hungry to learn more about how to do right by this here internetico blog-world and jessica’s e-book seems like a good way to get out of the starting blocks.
My blog is http://whatshereallywants.blogspot.com … an attempt communicate with the man i married after knowing him less than 5 months, despite the fact that he doesn’t read the blog. (likely, it is best that he doesn’t.) it is a collection of pretty things i like, random things i don’t, and what i wish he would know without my having to tell him.
I blog at http://fromcribstocarkeys.com, an ADD-influenced account of my life as a mom of boys, ranging from babies to teens,a WAH freelance writer and all-around cool person. The topic mix is as eclectic as I am, with reviews, recipes, parenting advice and more.
I have been a longtime fan of Jessica, so picking a favorite post is tough! Of the more recent posts, my favorite would have to be day 11 of her 15 days of resolutions. http://jessicaknows.com/2008/12/connecting-more-with-my-husband-day-11-of-15-days-of-new-years-resolutions/ This speaks to me as my dh and I need a little boost in that direction.

My blog is htp://www.bizziemommy.com which is about my transition into a mom entrepreneur.
I really loved Jessica 15 days of resolutions http://jessicaknows.com/2009/01/go-outside-your-comfort-zone-day-15-of-15-days-of-new-years-resolutions/

Thanks
Stephanie
I have 3 blogs and all of them have to do with me being a wife, mother, author/blogger, life coach, radio show host and certified multi-tasking maniac and how I love my life amidst the chaos! My Life A Work In Progress (http://www.christiecrowder.com) is my main blog…access to the others (Funeral for My Fat Pants and The ChatterBox Reviews) can be found there.
My favorite Jessica Knows posts definitely have to be the 15 Days of Marketing!!
I tweeted this (@cgccoach) but I am not sure how to link it here.
christiecgc (at) gmail (dot) com
Here’s my tweet: @bizziemommy thinks she is going to win this http://bit.ly/4qsH HA! She can forget it!
I want to win! I want to win! I want to win! lol
here’s my tweet, http://twitter.com/TrentTribe
Just Pure Lovely is often called a mommyblog, a photoblog, and a craftyblog. My life is not always just, pure, or lovely, but I’m trying to keep my thoughts there. Just Pure Lovely is my place to think and to create, record and remember. Blurbs and blips included.
http://www.justpurelovely.typepad.com
I loved Jessica’s 15 Days of New Year’s Resolutions. Especially “Take and Share More Photos.” I’m doing Project 365, too!
My blog is Because Babies Grow Up and is brand new. I’m focusing on activities that parents and caregivers can do with babies and toddlers to encourage their cognitive, physical and rhythmic development. I’m including videos to show actions and melodies for fun songs and finger plays.
So far, my favorite JessicaKnows post is Day 4 of 15 days of Marketing. I’ve already had great success in benefiting others and reaping rewards!
My main blog is It’s my life… http://www.roseslife.blogspot.com it’s all about me, my life, and how I deal with it. Oh, wait. It’s also a lot about my kids, their lives, and how I deal with that. And a bit about work. And writing. And blogging. And stuff. Ahem.
My other blog is The Lemonade Stand http://www.roselemonade.blogspot.com. It’s a review/giveaway blog that promotes products that parents might find helpful or fun.
I’m not even going to attempt to pick a best of from http://www.jessicaknows.com. Too many to chose from and each is a gem!
OK. I lied. This is my latest favorite Jessica Knows post. http://jessicaknows.com/2009/01/moleskine-hack-for-moms/. Brilliant!
86753oh9.com is what it is….depending on how I feel that day. I like flexibility…or maybe mental instability. It’s all entertaining and nothing is set in stone. It’s like a non-brand Brand!
I have a LOT of Jessica favs…..can’t I just pick all 15 days of Marketing???
Here’s my Tweet: http://twitter.com/Jenny86753oh9/status/1098386640
Thanks!!!!!
My blog: Problem Solvin Mom, Ideas and advice for busy families
A little bit of everything, since there is so much that we, as moms, are doing in our lives.
My favorite(s) of Jessica’s are the 15 days of marketing posts, and if I had to pick just one of those, it would be the one that recommended HARO!
OK, I don’t think it saved my comment so here goes again:
I’m a working Momma who can’t quite get everything done but tries anyway. Cutting corners isn’t slacking, its SMART. And I try to enjoy the ride along the way.
Would love to win a copy of her ebook!
