Dear Subscriber,

Welcome to the 4th edition of my newsletter. 

Sorry it is a little late, I've had a very busy weekend!  We spent most of it cleaning out our old house so we can get it on the market.  Then on Monday I spent the day with my daughters and some other family at an amusement and water park.  Days like that are why I've refused to give up on earning an income from home and why I am excited to help others do the same.  I just can't wait until I am earning enough for my husband to quit his full-time job too.  He'll concentrate on our electrical contracting company, but working for himself (or rather for us) he'd have more flexibility in his schedule and would be able to spend days like our daughters and I had on Monday.

The other part of my weekend was spent working feverishly on a new website.  An online friend and I started our own direct sales/network marketing company!  We got tired of poor member/customer support, tired of broken promises, and tired of programs that require a HUGE investment and only those who can also make a huge investment in advertising get ahead.  We are really excited about it, take a look: http://www.simplecashprogram.info

Now onto the newsletter.  Today's article is on press release writing.  Press releases are a great way to get the word out about your business.  They can be a quick way to get your website a first page ranking on Google.  So for today, I am providing 24 Killer Press Release Secrets!

Best wishes,
