Hey everyone, ok update on the whole CYBER PR Challenge. You may have noticed that Week 5 is missing...well that's because I need a good hair day for that one!! Week 5's theme is Youtube, so I plan on having us girls do a video blog, but when ever we are together we're usually off and running to gigs, or doing our admin day (which we call music monday) in our grubbies and messy hair. So we are still planning on doing it on a music monday town day. That way we will look all smokin'....or at least decent hahaha!
So Week 6 is on Blogging! I'd have to say that this is the greatest part of the whole challenge that I've taken full advantage of. It was always a conflict...to blog or not to blog! Well the answer is...BLOG, BLOG, BLOG, BLOG! I'm learning that it is the most benefical thing you can do online. We have received so much more traffic on our site and its fun. If you're not over picky "don't let perfection stop your progress" is what I'm learning....just go for it!! Put in a few links, a couple of pics and talk about something you love. I actually love learning about stuff like this...because even though it seems overwhelming, when you realize its simple its like finding a treasure. So on top of it all Sherry & I have both started our own personal blogs. It's great cause its our own personal views and experiences which is new for us to send out to the worlds because we've always represented ourselves online as a duo with the same experiences. But we do so many different things on the aspects of music that the blogs give us a personal outlet.

Doing as much online to promote yourself and your dream is a necessity, but you also have to make sure that you pay attention to your local surroundings. No Limitz is now part of a Northern Alberta local marketing group called "ThinkLocalMarket.com" . We performed for their first networking Gala where we not only promoted our latest album "Hold That Thought" we were also promoting "HOUSE CONCERTS". We absoulutely love this growing and dynamic group for not only does it help promote products grown, created, produced, serviced, and given in Northern Alberta, but all the members try to help and promote each other. There's marketing courses, networking opoportunies, and you discover what's in your own back yard. You don't need to order stuff from Texas or some far off place, its probably made in the next town over. Remeber to try to discover opportunities around you, not only abroad. So if you want to discover some REALLY COOL STUFF just head over to www.thinklocalmarket.com and find it there!
