Do a good deed today to honour lives lost and nations forever joined by the tragedy of September 11 and enter it on the My Good Deeds website. So far it has received 357,196 pledges. Today I volunteered my time with a non-profit organization, and made a first-time donation to a charity of my choice.

In the spirit of giving, I will also offer a free copy of Robin Hood Marketing, the book by Katya Andresen of Network for Good to a random subscriber to who is signed up for my monthly e-newsletter or to receive email updates from this blog.  Katya offers no nonsense marketing advice, stolen from the riches of the corporate marketing world to promote your just causes. She is on the mark.

If you are not familiar with the options available to you from my site, here are your choices:

• Make It Count e-newsletter - if you want to receive the e-newsletter each month by email, sign up by completing the form. The link is in the top left corner of this site. The newsletter contains information that is not posted on this blog.
• Email updates for Ready, Aim, Inspire articles - if you also want to receive email notices each time I post to this blog, enter your email in the Feedblitz subscription box lower down on the menu. You’ll receive the new article by email. Note, you can receive an RSS feed directly to your browser without receiving the email updates, by clicking on the RSS feed. Your feed will come to you by RSS, but I can’t enter you in the draw. Your subscription is directly with Feedblitz and I won’t have you in my contact subscription.

I’ll draw a week from today so sign up now.
