Sonia Simone
Sonia Simone is senior editor of Copyblogger, the web’s most influential copywriting blog. She is also the founder of Remarkable Communication. She’s been active in social media for nearly 20 years (yep, before there was a World Wide Web), about as long as she’s been a professional writer.
Sonia has become a leading voice in what’s being called the “Third Tribe” of online marketing for small business and solopreneurs. The Third Tribe rejects the anti-profit ethos that has long marked social media, but also steers clear of the strong-arm tactics too often used in traditional Internet marketing.
Sean D’Souza
Sean D’Souza is not the average feel-good trainer. He doesn’t necessarily tell you what you want to hear. Instead he shows you what works time after time in marketing and sales.
When you sit down to listen to Sean, you’ll get a solid understanding of ‘Why Customers Buy (And Why They Don’t). And Sean not only gives you the steps and the how-to, but also tells you the underlying psychology of what makes customers behave the way they do.
His understanding of customer psychology is encapsulated in a system that he’s developed called Psychotactics. Psychotactics is all about how to structure your marketing in a way that’s simple, yet extremely effective.

Erin Feree
Erin Ferree, founder of elf design, helps small businesses stand out from their competition so that they can connect with their best customers. She does this by working to define their brands, and then using that definition to create logos, marketing materials and websites that show how they shine. She also believes that all of a business’s brand materials should be not just pretty, but also designed strategically to be effective. This produces a winning combination of materials that communicate visually, look stunning and are designed effectively, which help her clients reach their target audiences.
Dawud Miracle
Dawud wears many hats. As a website designer, social media guide, niche marketing specialist, business strategist, teacher, metrics guru and overall business problem solver, he’s spent the past 13 years teaching hundreds of small business owners how to find and leverage the hidden profits in their businesses.
He sees the relationship between your offer and your audience’s wants as the key to increased business and greater profits. This relationship is best understood and optimized by measuring and evaluating your marketing strategy and tactics along with the results they get.
When he’s not helping his wife chase their 3 young kids around the house, you’ll find Dawud helping his clients “see with a new clarity” how they can use their web presence to generate more leads, get more clients and sell more products.

Jennifer Hofmann
Jennifer Hofmann was not born organized. In fact, her creativity and ADD meant she started projects she never finished, was surrounded by clutter, and struggled to keep up with everyday tasks.

If you’ve tried to get organized in the past and failed, you’re not alone. Jennifer’s approach helps small business owners discover their natural strengths and how to integrate them so that organizing becomes easy and enjoyable. Jennifer’s business, Inspired Home Office, is based in Salem, Oregon.
