Janette Toral’s Book Launching

I had the privilege to meet and chat briefly with Janette, one of the organizers of the recent iblog3 summit.

This coming May 2007, Janette will be launching her e-book and of all things, she is giving away 100 free copies under certain conditions. Check out her blog site if you want one too. It would be great if I am still lucky enough to fall within the first 100 bloggers to get this book. As a newbie blogger, who attended her very first summit, I was overwhelmed at how much I STILL HAD TO LEARN ABOUT BLOGGING. The problogging facet of it intrigues me since being at home most days, I am online almost always, so why not try to monetize that time and be even more useful, di ba? Janette’s e-book is sure to push me in the right direction and get me up and running on blogging.

Below are details of Janette’s book launching and the promotional book give-away:
