I have fallen in love with a monkey!

Well, not really, but I am very excited that MailChimp has changed their free account option to include a larger mailing list size! Woohoo! So, fellow small business owners, you absolutely must give MailChimp a try—check out the e-mail campaign that I just sent out on behalf of www.EquestrianHomeLeasing.com!

Now, let me count the ways…

1. free up to 500 subscribers,
2. free up to 3000 emails per month,
3. gorgeous website… (an absolute must in my book),
4. clever + hilarious copy (i.e., writing),
5. easy-to-use interface,
6. list segmentation,
7. detailed reports (i.e., tracking),
8. powerful webmaster tools,
9. truly helpful help (i.e., articles, tips, blog),
10. and did I mention FREE !?!

Hands-down, MailChimp is the ideal way to manage any and all of your e-mail campaigns (i.e., special offers, monthly newsletters, birthday wishes, holiday greetings, etc.)!

When you change the way you look at things, things change.

I have been soooo ready for a change… After all, simplicity is key! 😉

What do you think? Do you like the new site design? I’d love to hear your thoughts (i.e., what you like, what you don’t like, what you’d like me to add/remove/modify)…

Let your voice be heard!

Dropbox has to be one of my favorite finds ever! If you don’t already have a backup system in place for your computer files, you should definitely sign up for a free account.

Dropbox is the easiest way to store, sync, and share files online. There’s no complicated interface to learn, it works seamlessly with any operating system (i.e., Windows, Mac, Linux), and it automatically makes sure your files are up-to-date.

Nowadays, our lives are on our computers. So, if you’re anything like me, you’ll be eternally grateful for the peace of mind that Dropbox offers (without you having to remember a thing)!

Plus, for those of us on a rather tight budget, the free account option is a lifesaver, providing just enough storage space for your most essential files.

Having your files (and all their revisions) accessible from anywhere in the world via the Dropbox website is a super-dooper handy feature for anyone who travels.

If you happen to forget to grab your final proposal before you leave home, it’s no problem! Just stop by the library and print a new copy! So cool!

The features as listed on the Dropbox website…

• Sync files of any size or type
• Share large files and photos easily
• Automatic online backup
• Access your files anywhere
• Sync between operating systems
• Track and undo changes to files

Change is not merely necessary to life, it is life.
