Don’t Miss the Upcoming Facebook Fun!

If you weren’t already aware, Art of Eloquence has a fan page over on Facebook.  We’ve been having such a fun time over there that I thought I’d share it with everyone so you could come on over and join us for some upcoming Art of Eloquence Communication FUN.  Aside from all the fun links, videos, funny pictures and sayings posted weekly, here are two reasons you’ll want to join us…

1. Communication BINGO starts Sept. 1st!

I have a list of 75 communication terms posted on a secret link on the Art of Eloquence website just for our Facebook fan page members.  Choose 25 of the terms, email them in to me before Sept. 1st and play along to win one of 8 prizes!  Each of the first 8 winners will get a free Art of Eloquence product!

The idea is to watch for the terms I call out each day and cross them off your list.  Each day I’ll not only post a term or two from the list, but a fun link, picture, joke or saying that goes along with it.  When all of your terms are called off, email me to claim BINGO!  After each win is verified with my email copy sent in, I’ll award each of the first 8 to call BINGO with a free Art of Eloquence eProduct!

If you aren’t yet a member of the Art of Eloquence Facebook page, come on over and “Like” us!  Then click our Events tab to find more details about our upcoming Communication BINGO!

2. Free copy of my very first JoJoisms eBook!

If you weren’t an Art of Eloquence newsletter subscriber last week, you probably didn’t get a free copy of my very first JoJoisms eBook, the very first in the eSeries!  Not to worry, because if you are a member of our Facebook fan page when we reach 1000 members, you’ll have another chance!   We have somewhere around 950 members.  When we reach 1000, I’m going to make a link available for ALL Art of Eloquence Facebook fan page members to claim their own free copy of my very first illustrated JoJoisms eBook with my insightful and humorous quotes on communication!

Don’t let us start without YOU!

If you “Like” us, I think you’ll really like us!

Contest Runs: August 1st-October 31st, 2010

——-

This is our BIGGEST contest EVER! November 1st Art of Eloquence will celebrate eight years in business.  In recent years, we have celebrated by offering a few hours of online fun and a contest where we gave away a prize package to one lucky winner.  This year, we would like to offer THREE MONTHS of fun and give away 18+ prizes!  So this year we have eight fun ways for you to win from August 1st through October 31st!

1. Our Facebook Fan Page members will be able to play Communication Bingo. Here’s how this will work. I will post 75 different communication terms on the fan page and each member is allowed to choose 25 of them and email them to me.  Each week (M-F) I’ll post a few words from the list.  You will need to follow along and cross off the words/terms I have already called out.

The first 8 people whose entire list of terms is called off and email me claiming Bingo will win a prize and 8 points toward the grand prize!

To play, you need to be a member of our Facebook Fan Page: http://www.facebook.com/ArtofEloquence

3.  Post an Art of Eloquence Link: Each time you post a link to the Art of Eloquence site and email me sharing the link and where you posted it will earn you 8 points toward the grand prize! You may post a link to our main site sharing who we are.  You may also post a link to a particular page, product, category, blog post, or age category.

To qualify, post our link on your blog, website, Facebook or Twitter page, Yahoo group, Facebook group,  or other online chat group.  Then email me jojo @ artofeloquence.com with “BBLink” in the subject line and tell me what and where you posted.

Are your emails effective? They can be!

Have you ever written an email you thought was clear only to have the recipient reply:  “What on earth are you talking about?”   Do you occasionally find that your email misspeaks?  Did you ever NOT say what you meant to say over email?  I think we all have had times like these, but with a few easily implemented tips, these can be fewer and farther between!

Join me in the next few months as I begin a new article series just for my newsletter subscribers on effective emailing!  These articles will eventually make their way into a book that will be offered for sale on the Art of Eloquence website.  However,  if you are one of our newsletter subscribers, you can get all this information for free beginning tomorrow morning in my very first What’s New at Art of Eloquence eNewsletter series of articles on effective emailing!

If you are not a subscriber yet, click here and, in addition, you will receive special offers and free gifts from time to time during the month.  Lastly, What’s New at Art of Eloquence subscribers are all entered into our Subscriber of the Month Drawing for a chance to win a gift certificate for $20 worth of Art of Eloquence products!  A new subscriber is chosen each month!
