Happy Birthday GrowMap 6 years old Thank you to everyone who has supported GrowMap over the years. A special thanks to the many collaborators who have shared my content and shared their knowledge.

Some deserve special mentions:

Best Blogging Mentors

Kelli @kellibmiller and Crystal @CrystalandComp are two of my long time collaborators. They have been sharing what they know in their LearntoBlog Hangouts for almost 70 episodes and recently launched the LearntoBlog VIP Forum.

Best Writing Mentors

Carol Tice @TiceWrites is one of only two training communities for writers that is really worth the money. If you are serious about your writing, join Carol’s Make a Living Writing Writer’s Community. (Beware imitations!)

Best Blogging Community

Ann Smarty @seosmarty has launched MyBlogU where bloggers go to collaborate and promote epic content. Ann and Gerald Weber @the_gman created ViralContentBuzz which lets us share each other’s content on social networks.

Best Blog Commenting Community

Adrienne Smith @AdrienneSmith40 is one of the few bloggers who has had a huge commenting community from way back when and still does today. It is a lot of work to answer all your comments and many of us get busy with other priorities. If you want to find the best CommentLuv bloggers, visit AdrienneSmith.net.

Need a Book Written or Published?

David Leonhardt @amabaie offers a really cool service. You can have a book edited or ghost written for you. If you want a book for yourself see A Personal Branding Book to Enhance Your Reputation. Tell David I sent you!

Know anyone who could benefit from having their own book, you can earn a $1000 referral fee. Anyone who wants to be seen as the top person in their industry or location can benefit.

Videos and Images

You may have noticed the custom images created by Julie Weishaar @newhorizons123 or as example of one of her custom videos in the right sidebar on GrowMap. Julie is my go-to video person.

How to Become Successful

Andy Nathan @AndyNathan has been researching how people become successful. You can see his video interviews on StartUpGap and he is publishing a book about what he has learned – due out on Amazon later this month. You can also find Andy @SmartattheStart.

Hangouts Queen

Deborah @SocialWebCafe is the only professional Google Hangout-on-air producer I’ve come across. She also provides Premium Twitter chat event services.

Web Developer / Hosting

Ron Cripps provides the primary support and hosting for GrowMap.com and has been one of my most loyal supporters. If you need web development or hosting talk to Ron. You can find Ron on Twitter @affiliatexfiles and @marketingtilt and find out more about his web services at MarketingTilt.com.au.

QR Codes

Jim Bannon has been doing his best to teach brick and mortar businesses how to use QR codes to drive offline people to their online resources. If you want to track how well your print media and signage drives customers, be sure to check this out. He also offers Facebook Likes Generators.
