Zaadz.com, one of my all-time favorite places to hang out, announced today that they're getting ready to launch a really cool new marketing platform called zPro later this summer.
In a nutshell:
zPro is a complete online marketing toolkit that packages newsletter 2.0 with social media and web 2.0 goodies (from micro-communities and member profiles to group discussion forums and blogs) to give you everything you need to grow your biz.
Here's the blurb from their blog:
To give a bit of a background, and to share a bit of our excitement about the launch, I'll just point out, again, that this whole community was founded on the notion of conscious capitalism. We're quite serious about the “making a living doing what it is you love” thing, and so, obviously, we're passionate about supporting those of you who have already set out to do that—or who are working at realizing those dreams.
Hence, zPro.We're psyched about supporting small business owners and life coaches in growing their businesses by deepening their relationships to those they serve. By strengthening that sense of connection and community in the marketplace, we'll start circulating capital in ways that will make a difference. It's exciting. :)
This sounds like a terrific platform for professional coaches who are building a business with social networking tools like online forums, blogs and viral marketing. You can see exactly how this kind of 'micro-community' technology works just by exploring the Zaadz site itself.
Get this: The first 100 people who sign up get a free lifetime subscription to zPro, plus coaching, a potential spot in their print ads, a place in their rotating Featured Friends slot, and inclusion in the zPro directory; the next 1000 will get six months free.
And "signing up" means giving them an email address. That's all. I'm already on the list -- whatcha waiting for?! Go sign up now!
P.S. I forgot to mention that I originally stumbled upon Zaadz about 4 years ago while Googling for inspiring quotes. Well, technically I stumbled upon Thinkarete.com, which was created by Brian Johnson, the Founder and CEO of Zaadz. Thinkarete.com is still one of my favorite go-to resources for inspirational quotes.
