Priceless Marketing…seriously, it’s FREE!


We could create phrases with people standing next to each other if we classified our different crimes and wore them on our sleeves:

S - stealing
AD - adultery
D - destruction of property
AY - acting young (A crime if we don't act young! Skip into the grocery store today.)

SAD DAY - and it is if we do not resource the social networking tools we have available for marketing.


By Gayle Gross

There is an amazing opportunity before us. You know. You are active on the social networks, otherwise, you would not be reading this. Marketing is FREE when you know how to resource the proper tools. Being educated is key.

My husband used to say, “The right tool for the job.” His dad said the same thing when he was alive, may he rest in peace. Times change. We know this. The fact I am no longer married is a testament. Speaking of testaments, look at how many of the Ten Commandments we still follow on an “outward” level. They have become less an integral part of the fabric we wear. There are not many people wearing an “AD” on their sleeve and you and I both know adultery has its place in our world today. I reference, “The law of adultery and ignominious Punishments” by Andrew McFarland Davis: “In 1639, a woman, who was found guilty of adultery, of a somewhat aggravated character, was sentenced to be whipped at a cart-tail through the streets, and to wear a badge upon her left sleeve during her abode within the government.

In 1641, a man and a woman convicted of this offence were sentenced both to be severely whipped immediately, at the public post, and they wear (while they remained in the Government) two letters, viz., an ‘AD,’ for adulterers, daily, upon the outside of their uppermost garment, in a most eminent place thereof.”

You are now thinking, she’s off on a tangent: social networking, free marketing, tools, change, and a person straying from the ten commandments. I am here to say they all relate. Being religious is defined as relating to or manifesting a faithful devotion. FREE marketing takes religion - a focus and steady attempt everyday. The word “religion” is often used interchangeably with faith or belief system. Does anything really happen in our lives if we don’t believe? I am here to tell you, NO.

So, let us go back to why you came to this page. PRICELESS MARKETING is an option. You can resource the right tools with the top three social networks. Top three in my current way of thinking – no disrespect for the little guy – I AM the little guy, which doesn’t mean I am small. Following me? Yep, I am off on a tangent again. The business I now share with a team of committed workers, 10 Day Book Club, may appear small because the world is big but consider an ant in comparison. They are small, work hard and have colonized nearly every landmass on earth. There are over 22,000 species of ants and yet they effectively communicate and solve complex problems together. Ants are considered social. They have the most ancient of social networks.

There is a phrase I remember from college. “Knowledge is not knowing everything, it is knowing where to find it.” With this in mind, social networking is on the Internet. Free marketing is Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. The right tools are within your grasp if you know how to use them. Religion, in this sense, is the repetition of process. And, success lies in knowing where to find the answers. 10 Day Book Club makes it easy. We teach social networking classes in an interactive way. Small class sizes for $10 - $39. Is it worth the money? We believe it is PRICELESS but see what our students have said within their quotes below.

Before I go, let me explain some things. A tangent is sometimes classified as the straight line, which “just touches” a curve. Ants walk in straight lines because of the scent left behind by their leader. Pheromones are a secretion (by ants) triggering a social response by members of the same species. Without being gross (although it is my last name) I say, “Follow me.”

"I found the overview (basic training) very informative and worthwhile.  Meli and Gayle collaborated nicely during the presentation and I was impressed with the amount of information that they were able to share in such a short amount of time.  I am sure the more detailed calls on each of the sites will be awesome and well worth the cost.  Thanks again ladies and keep up the good work." Deb Idleman, Lia Sophia

"I was very pleased with both the introductory social networking webinar and the more intensive ones for Facebook and LinkedIn.  (I had a scheduling conflict with the Twitter class, otherwise I would have taken that as well).  Meli's a great asset and a real delight; accessible, knowledgible, and incredibly intelligent.  Don't lose her!" Larry Felder, Paleo Artist and Author

"I was so pleasantly surprised with the Facebook training. I did not expect the individualized help which we each received. It was an interactive training and I gained so much from that format. Meli was certainly knowledgable about Facebook and all the new changes that have come about. Thank you for offering the seminar! It was most helpful!" Carolyn Jones, The Gate Lady

"I found this social media training class (LinkedIn) to be extremely informative.  As someone who is involved with different sales, recruiting and artistic self marketing endeavors, the in depth, immediately applicable information is invaluable.  Thank you very much for providing this much needed education." Karen Finnegan
