Creating a Social Marketing Explosion - Principle #1 - Create Raving Fans

Nobody cares about you! Now that’s a bold statement, but it’s true most people only care about themselves and how they can solve their own problems.

They are embarking on a multi million dollar campaign to capitalize on that stupidity... hoping we are too distracted by American Idol and Dancing with the Stars to pay attention to the millions of dollars they steal from us every year.

First -time homebuyers Tax Credit

First-time homebuyers must close by Nov. 30 – contract not enough
