Own Your Niche: Hype-Free Internet Marketing Tactics to Establish Authority in Your Field and Promote Your Service-Based Business by Stephanie Chandler

I spent a year working on my latest book, and am incredibly excited about its release in early February. Own Your Niche: Hype-Free Internet Marketing Tactics to Establish Authority in Your Field and Promote Your Service-Based Business is more than just an internet marketing guide. It’s about building your audience, sharing great content, cultivating community, and ultimately building your service-based business.

Pre-orders are now being accepted, and buyers will receive a collection of my favorite resources and templates along with a PDF copy of the book so you can begin reading immediately! Get all the details and pre-order your copy here.

My inbox has since been flooded with requests for a copy of the slides, which I am happy to make available. You can download the PDF version of the slides here.

A slightly modified version of the slides are also available for viewing via SlideShare.

You can download a copy of the handout here.

Several people reported trouble with the audio when I read off the social media resources so here they are again:
