OK soldier, welcome to Basic Training. Today is just going to be a basic equipment checklist.

The Basics:
[] I have an easy to remember e-mail adress
[] I have an easy to remember web site and/or blog
[] I am collecting e-mail adresses and sending out a regular newsletter

*Tips*

-If you don’t have an email, use Yahoo or Google and chose something simple and easy to spell… JoinRick@Gmail.com is easy to remember and spell..

-If you don’t have a website.. you probably need one, at least go to Wordpress.com and get a free blog started up. Try to make the user experience as entertaining as possible (video and animated hosts are popular) but also as simple as possible. Here’s some guidelines to try and follow.

-Use Constant Contact to manage your e-mail newsletters. Easy to make and manage professional newsletters and It’s free for 2 months!!
