Ever need a little help but don’t have a lot of budget?

Well, here are some resources to help you grow your personal and professional brands.

I have a growing list of the best articles, how-to’s and social media resources. . . if you have an article that you think would be a great addition, let me know!

– I have to give a special thanks to @daveohoots of @hootsuite for sharing this handy DIY Social Media Policy Maker.

Check out the new Privacy Policy Generator and Common Misspellings.

Be sure to read about and download my FREE Social Media Editorial Calendar (ZIP) and our FREE Printable Blog Planner (PDF)! Yes I know it’s from 2012, but hey – it’s FREE!

Now, before you dig in to my growing resources guide, I recommend reading this great post by Rob Fuggetta : Five Reasons You Need to Focus on Earned Media – The Most Trusted Information Comes Not From You, but From Your Customers.
