We Have a Winner!
Today is the day we all find out who the winner of our first-ever What I Learned From… Contest (sound of crowd cheering) and I’m tellin’ ya folks, the excitement is building!
First I’d like to thank a fellow Bubba, Mr. Chris Garrett who, completely out of the blue, Tweeted me a while back and kindly donated 5 copies of his and Darren Rowse’s book, Problogger: Secrets to Blogging Your Way to a Six Figure Income. What a guy!
So a big ol’ tip o’ the Middle Zone Stetson to ya, Chris!
