Here's is the Effective Marketing webinar (which includes a PDF course manual) I wrote & recorded for Intuit Academy:  http://bit.ly/4eqJ39  The course is designed to cover the most effective marketing methods for accounting professionals and how to utilize them to reach your target market and grow your practice as a Accounting Professional.

Both of these were geared towards accounting professionals, but the concepts can be utilized by other service professionals too!  Check out the podcasts on social media and social networking too.
