Last week Nicole Dean was on vacation with her family here in Tennessee, which is where I live, and so we took the opportunity to get together and see some of the local sites.
We hiked Burgess Falls and toured Cumberland Caverns, and basically just hung out and had a fabulous time. This is not the first time I've met Nicole in person - we had roomed together at Willie Crawford's event earlier this year too.
Nicole and I have become fast friends, and in addition to being an all-around fun person to hang out with... Nicole is truly brilliant. We talked for hours, shared resources, and even hung out here in my home office (where she totally raided my book shelf! 😯 ). Not only did I welcome her into my home, but I've also invited her to my blog - and would love for you to welcome her here too as she 'takes over' here at ClickNewz for the week...
Nicole is doing a Summer Blog Tour across the blogosphere. She is making appearances as a guest blogger at places like Sparkplugging, Bob "the teacher" Jenkins' blog, Jimmy D. Brown's blog - and this week: here at ClickNewz!
Her topic for us is "5 Ways to Promote an eCourse other than Adwords". This should make for an excellent series and some great resources, no matter what you're selling online.
Nicole is one of those people that practices what she teaches. She is a niche affiliate marketer, and a true online business owner, managing multiple websites in a wide variety of niches. She has a strong sense of integrity, a smart way of doing things, and personally... I pick her brain every chance I get!
We'll be rooming together again in a couple of weeks for StomperNet Live 8 in Atlanta, and we're also both attending the NAMS Workshop in August as well.
I hope you enjoy Nicole's guest appearance here at ClickNewz, and her series on marketing. I'll be reading along as well so I'll join you in the comment area for the discussions following each post...
Give Nicole Dean a warm welcome, and Enjoy!
Best,
p.s. Things have been a bit quiet around here, so Nicole's timing is fabulous. I've been super busy reworking Self-Starters Weekly Tips, which is my primary site and online community. So that's where I'll be this week while Nicole is taking over the reigns here at ClickNewz. Thank you, Nicole!
I have (very quietly) reopened membership into my Private Brainstorming Group, which will close again in the next 24 hours. Last time it remained closed for 6 months, so if you'd like to join us now would be a good time to do that! 😉
About Lynn Terry
Welcome Nicole! Can't wait to read your posts this week here at Click Newz; and also can't wait to meet you at NAMS next month in Atlanta! 🙂
I'm so looking forward to NAMS. Can't wait to hang out and chat with you, too!
Hi Nicole!
Summer Blog Tour - huh? That'll make for a fun summer. This will be a great stop for you too. But don't worry ... Lynn has us well-trained! heh heh
Lookgin forward to reading your posts here.

Yeah, the Summer Blog Tour has been a ton of work, but it sure has been a heck of an accountability exercise. I wouldn't have written this much this summer without it. Lots of great content to repurpose now... 😉
Welcome Nicole! You are having a ball this summer aren't you! I like that Lynn pointed out that you are a niche affiliate marketer - so many of us could use some guidance with that hot topic. Also looking forward to your posts promoting eCourses here at ClickNewz.
Sharon, you know I love ya! Thanks for coming by and cheering me on.
YEA! I'm excited to learn more from Nicole. I have been following her blog tour and have learned a lot and even won a few things (Nicole, if you're reading, I sent a DM via twitter the other day).
She'll be a great asset to ClickNewz!
Thanks, Angie. Yes, I got your DM. Random.org is loving you! I'm so glad you won. 😀
Nicole,
I welcome you with open arms!! I've been following you for a while so I know you're a brilliant affiliate marketer. I'm really looking forward to learning some wonderful new things I can apply in my online business to take it to the next level!
Hope you enjoy your stay!!!
With such a warm welcome, I'm already enjoying my visit here. Thank you, Iris!
Welcome Nicole!
This is great- I totally love your sense of humor and great resources. I always read your blog and also Lynn's blog.
Looking forward to reading your strategies.
All the best,
Eren
P.S. I think I would do the same thing (raiding Lynn's book shelf- LOL 😉 )
My sense of humor? lol. Nahh...
I am the "mostly-sane" marketer for a reason, you know. Glad my goofiness is entertaining. 🙂
So excited to have Nicole here! She is the way that I found you Lynn. I heard about you from her Success Cast and boy am I glad she did that interview!!
That interview is by far my most downloaded one on my blog. I think Lynn's honesty and transparency is so rare in this industry that she blew people away. It's not all about driving Ferrari's or living on a golf course. It's about living your life the way you choose -- whatever that is. That's the beauty of it. While my dream may be to have no mortgage, someone else may want to buy a vacation home or vice versa. You get to set the rules. 🙂
Wow! Talk about a warm welcome. Thanks so much everyone for your kind words. I'll be posting in just a bit - after I load up on my morning coffee first. YUMMY!
Lynn - I think you'll need to set up a "What Lynn's Reading" section on your blog. I'd buy it all! 😀
No such luck - you'll have to come back over for another visit if you want to raid my bookshelf again 😉 (open invitation!)
http://www.twitpic.com/4x9qs <- still in the process of getting it all organized! And I have an entire collection still in boxes in the "storage room" as well... Enjoy your coffee! *cheers*
ooh. Twist my arm. You know I'll be back -- and not just for the books. There are still falls that we haven't hiked, lots of marketing that we haven't discussed yet, and restaurants that we haven't tried, so I'll just have to. lol!
Welcome Nicole! Looking forward to your posts!
Welcome Nicole,
Any friend of Lynn's is a friend of ours, but of course we already know how good you are!! Can't wait!
Welcome Nicole! I can't wait to read your posts and get your opinions on something that you are clearly knowledgeable about, which is online marketing. Looking forward to your helpful and useful posts! Welcome again 🙂
Barbara, Mark and Uprinting -
Please ask lots of questions. I want to help as many people as I can this week. Thanks for the warm welcome!
