How to Unlock Your Creativity While Clearing Your Mind – Whenever my head is filled up with gunk keeping me from moving forward. I break out this exercise to get in a clearer frame of mind. Others have found it useful as well. Try it. It works.
Number 9…
How to Get More People to Show Up (Without Bugging the Crap Out of ‘Em) – Not only is this one of my favorite titles, it’s also one of the most useful posts on the site.
“a concise insight into effective event marketing strategies. For instance, one mistake I was making was covering too many messages in a single newsletter related to an event. I’ve found limiting emails to one key message and sending them in a more regular, strategic plan has helped people to understand the meaning of the events and, yes, increased the numbers of people who have shown up!” – Cherie Barnett, Marketing Graduate
Number 8…

Shop at the Wicked Smaht Store – Very cool to see people visiting the store. There’s free stuff. There’s stuff to buy. And much more planned in 2011. Shop around. My goal is to cut through the junk and provide ridiculously informative and exciting content time after time. The information in these products are structured in a precise manner so you make the most of your newly acquired knowledge. Why? Because I love you. 😉

The Free Wicked Smaht 10-Part New Media Marketing e-Course – In my view marketing boils down to your frame of mind. If you have a bad attitude about marketing, well, your marketing isn’t going to be so hot. Bottom line, marketing can and should be fun. So this course helps you start that shift in thinking and make some immediate changes for better results.

The Free Beginner’s Guide to Twitter – Nice. More free stuff. I could charge for this guide but I don’t. Why? Because you getting started and finding your Twitter groove is most important to me. If you need me later, you’ll find me. So many people give up on Twitter before they can see the true value. I don’t want that to happen to you.
Number 3…
About Dave Charest – If you check your stats, you’ll probably see that the About page ranks pretty high. Makes sense, doesn’t it? People want to know who’s behind the information. I’d say this is one of the most important pages on any site.
