ProBlogger.net 31 Days to Build a Better Blog
A free course through email to becoming a better blogger from an expert in the field. Basically, you can sign up to get an email a day for the next 31 days. Each one has one task to complete that day and some instruction on how to do it. This is an auto-responder campaign set up with aweber (I recognized the subscription confirmation page), so it’s interesting from that point of view. If we could figure out similar free courses our clients could give, they are a great way to stay in touch with potential customers. I’m signing up for it and it’s something I’d recommend for anyone who’s going to blog:
