I vote for Donna Gunter’s OnlineBizU newsletter.
I only recently learned about Donna Gunter’s newsletter and, boy, am I glad I discovered her! Of any of the online marketing coaches and consultants I’ve encountered, Donna gives the clearest and most effective tips. She makes everything understandable and practical and easy to implement. She is amazingly generous with the depth and detail of her information. Plus, I enjoy her personal notes, which also make me think.

Mountain Moving Mindset (M3)
Target market: Originally, the “M3 Power” eNews was put together specifically for small business owners, entrepreneurs and solo-preneurs wanting to reach new heights. However, very quickly the eNews was in demand by individuals too, so now, it is for all wanting to take their life and their business to a whole new level. I believe that a strong mindset gives you the power to move mountains and, I share my free tips and teach exactly how to do that in my newsletters.
Months/years published: I have been sending the weekly “M3 Power” eNews issues for the last 8 months.

I vote for Donna’s newsletter.
I’ve been receiving it for a couple of years now, and what I like about it is that she so willingly shares what she knows. Her newsletter is packed with tips and how-tos, and she doesn’t hold anything back. Her newsletter isn’t the usual “bait” newsletter where you get a teaser about the topic but have to buy a product or service in order to get the information on how to do something. Donna puts it all right out there. There are no gotchas.

Donna has a fantastic newsletter, I particularly enjoy the personal anecdotes and the wealth of valuable she conveys. A true gem!
This is an excellent newsletter and I look forward to reading it each
month. I have passed it along to several people, including my cynical
30-something offspring (who are currently struggling with the way the world has changed since they graduated from college).
I would heartily vote thumbs-up for this newsletter.
Those newsletters are so exciting and motivates and inspires me to follow my dreams and be who I really am! Thanks a lot!
