All You Need Is “Love” – Whatever That Means To You!

All You Need Is “Love” – Whatever That Means To You!

This month’s Carnival, we’re trying something a little  — different … And that means one of two things, right? Either it’ll be awesome, or it’ll sink to the bottom of the ocean faster than the Titanic. (Too soon?) This month, instead of a specific topic, we’re going with a generalized theme, and that theme is love, sweet love. It is February – the month of hearts and flowers and chocolate and ooh, wouldn’t some caramel pecan turtles be good right about now? Where was I again? OH, right. Love. We hear it’s all you need. What do you love about your business? How can love as an emotion improve your marketing? What do you do when the love is all gone? Where IS the love, anyway? These musical questions and so many more — that’s what our brilliant, savvy Carnies have in store for you at the following links! And don’t forget to join the Twitter convo this month – use hashtag “#wordcarnivals” to chat about this month’s Carnival with the Carnies and other readers!   Nick Armstrong of WTF Marketing: Small Business Marketing: The Difference Between Love and Lonely Nights is Seduction @WTFMarketing https://plus.google.com/+NickArmstrongWTF/ Evan Austin of Graphics (and more!) by Evan Austin Communicating Love in Business: Colors and Imagery @graphicsbyevan facebook.com/eadesign.me Nicole Fende of The Numbers Whisperer®: Looking for (Business) Love in all the Wrong Places – Why Your Partnerships Fail @NicoleAFende facebook.com/SmallBizFinance Sharon Hurley Hall of Get Paid to Write Online: The Tools I Love for My Writing Business @SHurleyHall facebook.com/SharonHurleyHall Melanie Kissell of Solo Mompreneur: Turn Your Blog Into a Perpetual Valentine @melaniekissell facebook.com/solomompreneur Sandy McDonald of Why You Must Blog: How to Fall In Love With Your Business Blog @whyyoumustblog facebook.com/whyyoumustblog Michelle Nickolaisen of Bombchelle: Four Things I Love About Being an Entrepreneur @_chelleshock facebook.com/bombchellebiz Laura Petrolino of Flying Pig Consulting: How to invent your jump shot @lkpetrolino facebook.com/FlyingPigConsulting Clare Price of 5 Easy Pages: Yes!
