I will be doing live, virtual evaluations of home pages, using principles from my book Home Sweet Home Page during my Virtual Housewarming Party next week. If you’d like to put your name in the hat to win one these insightful critiques of your home page, enter this week’s Twitter contest. Full instructions can be found here:

Evaluations will be recorded via conference call and a live chat will be available for audience questions. Three evaluations will be awarded during this week’s contest. Another two contests will run for the next two weeks and five more winners will be chosen.

What is a home page evaluation?
I’ll take a look at the winner’s home page and assess whether or not it is helping the owner achieve their goal for the page. The winner will gain valuable … and actionable … advice on how to improve the effectiveness of their home page.

In addition, those listening to the evaluation will also pick up on juicy bits of information they can apply to their home pages, as well.

What is the value of this prize?
I could say priceless … but that might be tacky, and this isn’t a VISA commercial. I provide full home page evaluation services for between $199 and $249. This prize is a sub-set of that service valued at $75.

What if I can’t make it?
I’ve scheduled three dates for the live evaluations. If you are the prize winner and can’t make any of those times, then I’ll have to select another winner.

If you’re a spectator, then you can always pick up the mp3 recording later, which will be made available.

If you live in the greater Phoenix, AZ, area you’ll want to check out my live presentation of Plan Your Business Vision.

For two Saturdays in February, I’ll be teaching “Create Your Business Plan and Vision” at Paradise Valley Community College.

In this live version of my Plan Your Business Vision workbook and audio program, I’ll be helping local entrepreneurs and small business owners develop a simple, flexible and effective business and marketing plan that will move them toward their vision.

By the end of the workshop, participants will have completed mission and vision statements, as well as created an action plan for bringing them to life.

If you’re going to be in the area Feb. 20 and 27, from noon to 4pm, I would love to have you participate. And let me know you heard it here on the Marketing Turbo-Charge blog!

I am so happy to announce that Terri Zwierzynski, CEI (Conductor of Extraordinary Ideas) at Solo-E.com and a Solo-CEO Consultant, has agreed to write the forward to Volume 1 of the Turbo-Charge Your Marketing series of books based on the teleseminars! In addition, she’s going to be a featured speaker in the third series of teleseminar tentatively scheduled for February/March 2009.

Let me share a little bit about Terri: After 15 years of employment with large and small technology companies, she became a corporate refugee in 2001. A non-conformist at heart, she is now a self-employed business strategist and marketing consultant to solo entrepreneurs, and a grassroots promoter of the solo entrepreneur lifestyle. She has grown Solo-E.com from a few hundred subscribers into a site that attracts thousands of solo home business owners monthly from over 100 countries on six continents, and recently received the distinction of being named a finalist for “Website of the Year” in the 4th Annual Stevie® Awards for Women in Business.

Solo-E.com has been dedicated to supporting Solo Entrepreneurs worldwide — self-employed individuals who desire the financial and creative freedom of entrepreneurship without the sacrifice of personal freedom — since 2003.

I subscribe to their newsletter and have found it to be very helpful. They offer proven, no-hype business strategies, marketing techniques and entrepreneurial advice from successful Solo Entrepreneur Experts (including Adam Urbanski, who will be speaking on Tuesday, and Michele PW who will be speaking on Wednesday) — in a variety of virtual learning formats and schedules to fit your Solo Entrepreneur lifestyle! I strongly encourage you to check them out.
