Restaurant Marketing Idea #432 is:  Listen.  How?  Using "search" on free magazine subscriptions for restaurant professionals / owners.

Reading online magazines can keep the juices flowing.  Put them in a bookmark on Delicious (or browser) and once a week 'sharpen your saw' by choosing one of the resources below. Then input every free restaurant magazine the website has into the search tool.  You could subscribe, but remember that your time is short and isn't your inbox already full? Be selective. 

Before I found Hubspot, there was Xsitepro and Thesis Theme for Wordpress.  Both are excellent and recommended should you not be quite ready for Hubspot.  Since this posting in June, I have moved to Hubspot for this website / blog.  There are however good references here for those of you trying to get over a hump. Even back then I was looking to Hubspot as a means to conquer new internet ground (and very glad that I did) and offer a video at the end of the blog.

Here is the original blog article I wrote when the blog was using Thesis Theme:

Hate to take your time for such a silly thing ... But I would like to pose for you. Just look at me... (my blog that is). What you think? Prettier than before? Yes, that is one of my photos on top. You like? Lightning is hard to take. I wish that thunder came before lightning. Let's see, what did I do? Do you wonder? First, I downloaded Thesis Theme for Wordpress.

• Thesis Theme allows a non-programmer to tailor the appearance of their blog (and when upgrades occur, no loss of data) Want to take a look? Link for Thesis Theme.
  • Yes it has a small price... but consider the time it saves and the power it provides to enhance your presence on the internet... well worth it. (which is why so many companies use it)
