Results Are In, Finally!
I heard from Suzanne Falter-Barns of GetKnownNow a few hours ago. I won the Mega Marketing Makeover contest! Yippee-yahooey! Actually, I won by a landslide – I had 331 votes, the other finalists had 77 votes or less. I smoked some serious butt! (Is that too boastful to say?)
I would like to thank all of you who voted for me and who helped to spread the word by forwarding emails, and posting on your blogs, ezines, forums and networks. You are all awesome! Thank you so much.
Stay tuned as there will no doubt be changes with my blog and my Books by Glenda website. This could very possibly launch my book I’ll Do It Myself: A Collection of Memories from a Woman Living with Cerebral Palsy into orbit! Be sure to sign up for the book updates to see what happens next.
Thanks again!
Congratulations Glenda!! I hope your publishing dreams are
hugely successful! One of my dreams is to publish my story about
living with my various disabilities too. You can read a little
about me on my blog if you’re interested. Talk to you soon.

Wow- talk about a landslide. I guess this is one contest that won’t need a recount. Hey, what about those people who eblasted multiple forums and encouraged others to vote. Do we get anything?
J/K….well,sorta 
I will let my minions know that their vote counted towards your success. I’d like to see how the website makeover goes since this is my field.

I hope you are proud of your achievements.

LOL No need to worry about “hanging chads” in this election! As for those who e-blasted their forums, posed on their blogs and in their ezines, hmm, does knowing you supported a winner count?
And I truly appreciate it. Thank you.
I’ll blog shortly about what the Mega Marketing Makeover entails. It is quite a list of prizes.
Thank you all for your best wishes. With this kind of support, I already know my book will be a huge success.

Only if you’re Alice living in Wonderland
All kidding aside, from a networking POV, I do give you quite a bit of credit to knowing the right people who helped get the word out. It’s probably warrants a good article on the concept of “Tipping Points” and such. Dean

You are an amazing individual Glenda and such a wonderful uplifting inspiration to others. I look forward to buying your book and telling everyone about it. I think you should be on Oprah!

Hey Oprah, here comes Glenda and she’s ready to kick some serious butt on your show so you better get in touch now before her book is published and she is some famous she doesn’t have time to appear on your show. No worries those, you might get an invite to be on HER show…

Glenda my dear I am not surprised. From day one you have accomplished anything (and everything)that you set you mind to. I cannot think of a more deserving person than you BUT don’t let this fame go to your head it’s already swelled enough (ha! ha! ha!) Seriously, congratulations to a beautiful lady that I am honoured to call my friend. All the best!!
