Hi [NAME],

It's been some time since I sent out a newsletter to the registered users of Emarketing Workshops at http://emarketingworkshops.co.za. In fact it's been a while since anything newsworthy happened at Emarketing Workshops. However, I've spent some time recently revamping and upgrading the web site so let me tell you about some of the changes and future attractions.

First of all take some time to visit http://emarketingworkshops.co.za and browse the new site.

Phoenix on Facebook:
-------------------------

I created a business page for Phoenix Business Solutions, our marketing arm, which I hope will develop into an online community sharing information and ideas on Internet marketing. With so many people using Facebook it makes sense to make it easier for them - once you logged in to Facebook you can also visit the Phoenix page and comment on the Wall or participate in the discussions.

So, visit  http://www.facebook.com/pages/Phoenix/105912757240 and become a fan!

And link to it as a favourite from your profile.

Internet Marketing Workshops
-----------------------------------

In the current economic climate the Internet is still one medium where you can promote your business at a reasonable cost. I have scheduled some workshops for the rest of the year and added a new workshop, Online Advertising Strategies. Take a look and book for one that suits you.

I have also upgraded the download section at Emarketing Workshops and will be adding some ebooks, reports and other downloads there.

Some of the ebooks are:

- Directory Marketing Made Easy

Other Developments:

There's been a lot of changes since the last time I sent out a newsletter. Here are some:
