PUTTING THE BULLET BACK INTO BULLETIN

*We are a unique organization that offers our Subscribers and Members: 1) fabulous information, insight and intelligence in our Newsletter and through our continuous RSS and Email Feeds, 2) an unparalleled suite of services and products for making you personally and professionally successful, and 3) an actual interpersonal community where Human Beings work together in cooperation and synergy to achieve exponential returns.

THE NATIONAL NETWORKER is more than talk about networking and media -- we are about connections, team-bulding, personal introductions, constructive interactivity and RELATIONSHIPS.

1. ALL-NEW BUTTONS AND APPLICATIONS (FULLY-FEATURED AND COLORFUL) FOR YOU TO PLAY WITH: Part Deux

If you look at the bottom of any of our articles, you will notice a whole set of new applications to save, bookmark re-publish, broadcast, email, comment about, rate, follow, subscribe to or promote any of our authors, any of their articles, or the whole Newsletter. Look for the buttons and use them. Promote TNNW, our authors, or yourself.

Widget Selection Button: Opens up a gallery of widgets for you to use on your blogs, websites, newsletter and homepages.

Buzzworks Self-Promo: Opens up to our brand new self-promotion buzz page. Click on it, land on the special page, and tell us if you've talked TNNW or its authors or services up (in any medium). We will buzz you back (across a veritable plethora of media) in a giant way. You promote us, we promote you. Networking is a mutual proposition.

Submit Article to Google: Click on this button to submit the url of your favorite articles (as many times as you would like), or of the whole blog or website address to Google. This is very, very helpful SEO (Search Engine Optimization). Google is the most potent and well-regarded engine. They like us already -- help them to fall in love with us, and with each of our authors.

TNNW Member Services: This button opens up to a page which describes and contains links to all of our services for Members.

Re-Tweet This Article (not shown): You can automatically re-tweet the entire content of any article by merely pressing this button. This greatly helps cultivate the buzz and branding for your favorite authors. Let's help them get word out to the broadest and biggest possible market. This gadget does it all for you with one click.

2. JASON JACOBSOHN: Networking Insight Newsletter

We all send a special thanks out to Jason Jacobsohn, the producer of the Networking Insight Blog and Newsletter (http://www.networkinginsight.com/), both of which are excellent networking intelligence and strategy sources. You might want to visit Jason's site and subscribe. He's a gifted writer offering excellent insights.

In addition, he is co-producing and promoting an E-Factor event, scheduled for June 4th, which you should learn more about. More Information/RSVP: http://www.efactor.com/p/events/id=81.

As always, Jason...we thank you for our mutually-supportive relationship.

3. SITES TO SEE -- NOW: Part Deux

There are several super sites (in the vast web of THE NATIONAL NETWORKER) which you should definitely look at and favoritize. We'll admit...we are still under construction, and are making constant improvements to the navigation "friendliness" of all of our sites -- and yes, we have a truckload of them -- more than 22 of 'em and growing. The trick is going to be centralizing the navigation right on the website. This should be in place very soon -- we are internally beta testing right now. We're just like Microsoft, except we do our beta-testing prior to releasing our product to the public.

For a complete sitemap and index of all of our sites, simply click on http://tnnwindex.blogspot.com/, and FAVORITIZE. {yes, yes...it sounds like a window cleaner} Keep this handy - when you're on any page, look for the INDEX TO TNNW SITES button to return to the Index at any time.

Visit http://tnnw10.blogspot.com/, and FAVORITIZE. We have UPDATED our listing of advertisers, affiliates and services. There are some deep promotional discounts and other advantages exclusively for TNNW subscribers. Look for ChapterTracker, Andy Lopata's 2 CD set, and, of course for Douglas Castle's exciting new ad for THE CASTLE CONSULTANCY. If you are curious as to what I do -- I work very closely with young, growing enterprises on strategic planning and development. I am relentless, determined and demanding; on the bright side, I have good table manners. Visit DOUGLAS CASTLE PUSHES PEOPLE TOO HARD, for more details.

4. FACT: HOW YOU DEAL WITH FEAR WILL MAKE YOU EITHER A LOSER OR A WINNER

The primary motivating force in most people's lives is FEAR. People respond more to fear than to opportunity. Fear holds us back, inhibits us, makes us indecisive, attracts negative energies (misery loves company), and keeps us from reaching our potential, both personally and in business.

Question: Are you going to saddle up and ride the shark... or be eaten by it?

TNNW Featured Columnist, noted consultant and speaker Christine West is hosting a fabulous five-part webinar series called How To Master The Fear In Challenging Economic Times. The series begins on June 9th. Registration materials will be sent out during the next several days -- you will need to register early. How you deal with fear can transform every aspect of your life.

To hear a sample voice clip of Christine West, simply click on: http://www.thebusinessmd.net/downloads/TheBusinessMD-Interview-Business-Corner-09.mp3.

5. REMINDER

You're missing out. To get the full benefit of THE NATIONAL NETWORKER and all that we have to offer, you MUST subscribe to either the RSS FEED or the EMAIL feed. Please do it now in order to keep your free subscription! Click on:

or on

It's really quite simple. If you actually do it, you'll find out that this is indeed true. By the way, the email feed, which contains all of the content of the RSS Feed as well, is the more popular of the two by a significant margin.

6. AN OBSERVATION

* NETWORKING IS A TOOL TO CREATE RELATIONSHIPS, AND NOT AN END IN ITSELF. BUSINESS HAPPENS BECAUSE OF RELATIONSHIPS. BOTTOM LINE...IT ALWAYS COMES DOWN TO THE PERSONAL INTERACTION BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE.

7. TWITTER US!

You are cordially invited to follow TNNW (and we will follow you back) on Twitter at http://twitter.com/TNNW_BUZZWORKS .

Enjoy the articles, and enjoy all of our TNNW sites. We have so much to offer each other. Let's put it to work for everyone's benefit.

Yours,

Adam J. Kovitz and Douglas Castle

SITES TO SEE -- NOW

There are several super sites (in the vast web of THE NATIONAL NETWORKER) which you should definitely look at and favoritize. We'll admit...we are still under construction, and are making constant improvements to the navigation "friendliness" of all of our sites -- and yes, we have a truckload of them -- more than 20 of 'em and growing. The trick is going to be centralizing the navigation right on the website. This should be in place very soon -- we are internally beta testing right now. We're just like Microsoft, except we do our beta-testing prior to releasing our product to the public.

For a complete sitemap and index of all of our sites, simply click on http://tnnwindex.blogspot.com/, and FAVORITIZE. {yes, yes...it sounds like a window cleaner} Keep this handy - when you're on any page, look for the INDEX TO TNNW SITES button to return to the Index at any time. Here are a few sites to visit right now (Put down that X-Box and get back to Networking!); they are just a sampling:

MEET OUR ADVERTISERS AND AFFILIATES

We have some fabulous services, affiliate programs and business development tools on this page. Take a look at what our advertisers and affiliates are offering (often at a significant discount to our Subscribers and Members) and click away. We do not give any space to any product or program which we have not examined for quality. Do some serious shopping. If you are interested in beling listed here, just navigate you way to our ADVERTISING AND AFFILIATE SERVICES Site. Hint: You'll have to use the index to find it.

Please pay special attention to my new ad (which is particularly direct and offensive) for DOUGLAS CASTLE - STRATEGIC PLANNING on this page. If you want to comment about it, criticize it, or just take advantage of the opportunity to abuse me, please either post your comments right to the bottom of this bulletin, to my current article, or to my email address which is douglas.castle@yahoo.com . Please avoid profanity. For the really mean ones, you may email them to my alternate email address, which is Whodoyouthinkyouaredouglas.castle@yahoo.com .

Expect CHAPTER TRACKER (Jay Rowland's ingenious organizational tracking product) and WILL BANTER (J.D. Gershbein's cartoon creation, and a possible candidate for TNNW's Board Of Directions) to be making appearances on this page very shortly. Years after Homer Simpson is gone and forgotten, the frenetic, caffeinated WILL BANTER will be a legend and role model to every networker on this planet. Oh brother.

SPECIAL TNNW PACKAGES FOR PRESS RELEASES, PUBLICITY AND PR

You cannot afford NOT to use the indisputable power of the press release (just ask ANY of our TNNW clients, or Featured Author and expert Rita Wilhelm). The cost is miniscule in proportion to the potential audience. It adds to your credibility, SEO, branding, potential client population and makes you instantly more visible and more popular. TNNW offers multiple press release packages at the best prices in the industry - plus, we will help in every aspect of drafting, editing, tracking and following up with your releases. A PROFESSIONALLY WRITTEN and PROPERLY DISTRIBUTED PRESS RELEASE IS THE WORLD'S MOST POTENT MARKETING TOOL. Bottom line: Do ALL of your press releases, and set up your press release campaigns through TNNW. Let us help you exponentialize and monetize your profession, business, brand, product or service.

TNNW BUZZWORKS

We have just released the TNNW BUZZWORKS page. Look at it very, very carefully. Here's the idea: If you write or reference THE NATIONAL NETWORKER in any article, blog or social media (Digg, Twitter, Facebook...), point it out to us, and we will give you (and/or your organization, service or product) a BIGGER BUZZ IN RETURN! Keep buzzing us, and we'll buzz you as you have never been buzzed before -- to hundreds of thousands of readers. Get buzzin', cousin.

TNNW SERVICES FOR MEMBERS

Explore (bring a lunch, binoculars and a pith helmet) our services. You will not find better services, at better value anywhere. You might want to become a Member...

CHRISTINE, ELAINE and ANN

We have three fabulously gifted Featured Authors, and we would insist (gently, of course) that you visit their blogs. These blogs are not only fascinating, but they were evidently prepared by a brilliant blogmaster -- some uncelebrated (and probably undercompensated - sigh -) Shakespeare of Javascript.

Christine Sotmary's blog about her widely-acclaimed book can be found at http://christinesotmary.blogspot.com/ .

Elaine Ingis, the Founder of SrMeetUp! has a blog for her BabyBoomer membership community at http://srmeetup.blogspot.com/. Her website can be found at http://www.srmeetup.com/. You might want to become one of her advertisers, writers, or Members. She is a dynamo.

Ann Barczay Sloan's blog can be found at http://annbarczaysloan.blogspot.com/ . She engaged TNNW to assist her in getting some artists and photographers to contribute (for some publicity and potential royalties) for her forthcoming book. Within two four days, we have received more than 100 email submissions. Investor interest is growing as well. We will be off to the publishers soon!

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS

TNNW expects to announce the filling of several newly-created positions within these next four weeks [cue drumroll]:

Newsletter Editor; Calendar Coordinator; Webmaster, and Director Of Membership Services.
