Twitter FollowFriday v2.0

// April 30th, 2010 // 4 Comments » // News

Hi again,

If you read my previous post about FollowFriday’s you’ll know why I’ve decided to take a different approach to FollowFriday. If not, you can read “Taking Back FollowFriday the Chris Brogan Way” for the back story.

April’s been a busy month, but a productive one. The highlight for me was definitely completing the ZenProfits Blog Marketing Blueprint and getting it to market. It’s with that in mind that I’d like to thank the following awesome people this #FollowFriday for their help and support without which none of this would have been possible.
