Guess Who Had a Facelift?

We interrupt our regularly scheduled blog article series to bring you this Art of Eloquence special report!

Guess who’s had a facelift?  Nope, not me.  Though, at 49, it might not be such a bad idea.  It’s Art of Eloquence!

Yes the brand new, redesigned Art of Eloquence website has finally gone live!  After months of tweaking, learning new technology, getting help from my web host and ANYone who’d listen, it’s finally here!

What do you think?  The design isn’t the only thing that’s new!

* Mostly Importantly: it’s much easier to search the site to find the things you want because we now have drop down menus all along the top of the site!  You can search our store by age, category or value packages.  Easily find our free resources, Facebook fan page and our free monthly seminars across the top.

* We have added our Birthday Bash info so you can check out the prizes we are giving away on November 1st right here on the blog.

* We have also added several new communication scriptures and quotes on our scriptures page!

* We have completely redesigned JoJo’s Articles!  They are now alphabetized for easy reference!

* One of the biggest changes on the site is the addition of our videos!  I’m in the process of recording more, but you can see the first few on the home page and some of the age group pages in the store!

PLUS, the home page features my 200th JoJoism.  Remember I said I’d have a celebration when I reached my 200th JoJoism?  Well…You may have noticed I skipped over that one and posted a few after that.  Here is that celebration!

We’d love your feedback!  Please leave your comments and let us know what you think.

Want more free articles & gifts?

If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time, you know that I have a lot of fun pictures, videos and articles to share here on Communication FUNadamentals.  What you may not know, is that you can get even more free articles packed with communication tips as well as free gifts and exclusive offers if you subscribe to our What’s New at Art of Eloquence eNewsletter!

We give away free gifts and products, usually for, but not limited to, the major holidays.  Two weeks ago, we gave away a free copy of my very first JoJoisms eBook on Communication to ALL of our newsletter subscribers–no strings attached!

We also provide our Art of Eloquence newsletter subscribers with exclusive offers we do not offer ANYONE else!  Last week we had a One Day Only Sale.  It was a buy one HALF OFF; get one FREE sale!  No special occasion, we just picked a date.  We know times are tough out there and we just wanted to bless our subscribers with something we had never done before.  By the way, we’d like to thank all of you who sent emails thanking us for the opportunity to purchase all the ePackages and individual eBooks you’ve been wanting at this amazing low rate.  And a special thank you for each of you who shared with us how Art of Eloquence products have blessed your life and that of your children!

Another perk of being a What’s New at Art of Eloquence eNewsletter subscriber is that you get a free monthly article packed with tips for effective communication in your daily life.  We’ve had many an article series come through the newsletter that eventually was incorporated into a book we now sell on the Art of Eloquence website.  Our newsletter subscribers got the info for free ahead of time!  We just finished a series on conflict and one on email.   I just started a brand new series last month that will be about a year long on common communication myths.  Last week I shared why communication isn’t just important for making speeches, but for every day life.  Tomorrow, I am going to share an article I just finished on myth number 2:  Communication is Easy.  I’ll share how everyone is NOT born knowing how to communicate effectively and this is why so many misunderstandings occur.  PLUS I’ll give subscribers tips and links to free resources to help you study this vital skill.

Another advantage to What’s New at Art of Eloquence eNewsletter is my new Ask JoJo segment that comes out the second Tuesday of each month.  That’s where YOU get to ask me ANY communication question you like and I’ll answer it complete with tips and techniques.  Since many of our subscribers face the same issues, it’s nice to be able to benefit from someone else’s questions!  I try to answer 2-4 questions each month.

Aside from these things, What’s New at Art of Eloquence eNewsletter subscribers also get first notice of new products and a chance to pre-order upcoming new products at a HUGE discount!  I’ll be releasing my brand new, expanded eCourse on Conflicts soon and ONLY our newsletter subscribers will get the opportunity to pre-order this expanded eBook on how to avoid, reduce and resolve conflicts.

If you are not already as subscriber, you can subscribe here!  If you know others who’d like to benefit from all of this creative and fun information on effective communication, post a link to this blog post on your Twitter, Facebook, blog, Yahoo group, or website.

Don’t forget that if you DO post a link to any page on our site before November 1st, email us jojo@artofeloquence.com (with “BB Links” in the subject line) to let us know and we’ll give you 8 points toward our Birthday Bash Grand Prize!  Check out the details here!

Most of what we offer is free!  Don’t miss out on all the fun!

Free JoJoisms Coming Soon

I have a new series of illustrated eBooks coming out soon.  JoJoisms are my funny, insightful sayings about life.  The first in the series will be on communication.  Who’d a thunk it, right?  Inside will be things like, JoJoism#45, “God didn’t make cookie-cutter people so there is no one-size-fits-all way to communicate with them.

It’ll be out this week and you can get it for free if…

1) you are one of our newsletter subscribers.

What’s New at Art of Eloquence is our newsletter featuring an exclusive monthly article and Ask JoJo featuring answers to YOUR communication questions.  It also shares exclusive offers and free gifts just for our subscribers.  Tomorrow;s newsletter will allow every subscriber to download JoJoisms that reveal life’s truths about communication fundamentals!

If you are already a subscriber, you need do nothing but open your newsletter and click the download link.   If you are not a subscriber, now is the time!  Click here to subscribe to What’s New at Art of Eloquence today!

2) you are a Facebook Fan when we reach 1000 members.

We currently have over 930 members of the Art of Eloquence Facebook fan page.  When we reach 1000, I’ll make a download link available to all members!  Our Facebook page members have all kinds of fun that we cannot work via our newsletter.  I post funny pictures, quotes and sayings that help illustrate various communication skills.  However, the next several months will be even more exciting.

September 1st will kick off our Communication Bingo contest.  I’ll be posting a few communication terms per day M-F along with some fun links, pictures, scriptures and quotes that illustrate their importance.  If you are one of the members who signed up to play (chosen 25 of our 75 communication terms) and you are one of the first 8 to call bingo (meaning I have called out all 25 of your terms), you will win a free gift from Art of Eloquence and 8 points toward our Birthday Bash Grand Prize!

If you are already an Art of Eloquence Facebook fan page member, go into the group and find the post with the details of the game and the 75 words.  Then pick 25 of them and send them in to me before Sept. 1st.  If you are not yet a member there, click here to “like” (join) our page and check out the link to enter!

3) you are a For the Love of Purple.com Contest winner.

I have a fun blog for purple lovers called FortheLoveofPurple.com.  Today and Wednesday I’m celebrating the one year anniversary of the blog by having a contest.  Today I’m asking readers to name the purple things they have in their home that start with the letters A-M.   You can see the details of that contest here. You’ll notice that the cover of JoJoisms is purple (as are most of the Art of Eloquence communication studies!).

So…there are three ways to get a free copy of JoJoisms.  I suggest to you try all three!
