Where To Get Custom Twitter Backgrounds

by Missy Ward

Gena from WinAHouseCompetitions.com submitted the following question to AskMissyWard.com:

“I like the way your twitter page has your photo and info down the left hand side of the page! Where did you get your twitter template, it's cool!”

Hey Gena,

I actually designed the background myself on Twitter.com/MissyWard, but there are a number of companies out there that have done backgrounds for friends of mine:

Auggie4000.com – Auggie charges $20.00 per background. You can see samples of his work and purchase online here. After you've completed your purchase, you'll receive a form via email to complete, letting Auggie know what you want. (I've used Auggie's services for a number of banner creatives and he does a great and fast job).

TwitterWallpaper.com – My friend Julie recommends them. Looks like they charge $75.00 for a custom Twitter background.

TwitterImage.com is another company that provides custom Twitter backgrounds. I haven't used them, but they've done a number of high-profile Twitter users. They charge $100 per background.

Building Your Email List – Strategies to Start and…

by Missy Ward

Gregory Young submitted the following question to AskMissyWard.com:

“I have had success promoting affiliate products with niche sites, but I know I am leaving money on the table because I am not building a “list” as well. As Queen of the Affiliate Scene, I was hoping you could point me in the direction of a simple yet thorough guide on building and marketing to an email list.

Well Gregory, I couldn't locate a guide that encompassed everything that you needed to know to get started, so I put together the following video presentation for you.

In the video, I discuss the reasons you should be building a list and marketing to it; list management and deployment technologies available and strategies to build up your numbers in your database.

I hope you (and the others who may watch it), find it helpful.
