News Flash — Robyn McMaster Scores 1000th Word Sell Comment

By Brad Shorr | April 2, 2008

word-sell-one-thousand.JPGMinutes ago, Robyn McMaster left comment #1000 on the Word Sell blog. To celebrate this milestone, I’d like to award Robyn her choice of one book from the Word Sell recommended reading list.

Robyn, let me know your choice (and mailing address) and I’ll send it right out!

I’m glad that Robyn was the 1000th commenter for a couple reasons. First, she was one of my first readers. Without her early encouragement I don’t know if I would have kept it going. Second, I think she was really disappointed she didn’t come up a winner in the recent “nano contest”.

Congratulations, Robyn!

      Thanks Andrew! Joanna, I don’t think Robyn is yet aware of her achievement. :) Bob, hang in there - you have a great shot at 2000.

      Brad, I can’t believe this! I entertained family over the weekend so I didn’t see this till now! How exciting!!!!

      Hey, Bob, maybe you tripped over those spurs on your cowboy boots racing to beat me… I’ve got tricks up my sleeve.

      Joanna, you have not only learned, but I’m proud to say you shine as a commenter. Thanks for your kind words.

      Andrew, I have to agree that this is a real milestone for Brad. He’s now a blogging celebrity!

      Jeanne, You are generous with the kind words you sprinkle everywhere. Thanks. Brady has indeed built a great community.

      Brad, you were one of the first to comment on my blog and I’ve always considered you a friend in the blogging community. I’m going to look your list over. You’re very kind to have a reward connected to your milestone. Certainly makes Word Sell a special place!

      HI ROBYN! I knew you’d surface eventually. If you don’t see a book you like, please feel free to request another one. It seems like we’ve been blogging buddies forever.

      Brad, I’ve just given you a link on the blog I just posted, “Business Words to Impress?” You’ll love it!

      Brad, clever idea. Robyn, which book did you take?

    11. Robyn Says:

      I’ve taken quite a bit of time to peruse the great choices you offered in your recommended reading list. It was hard to choose. I’ve settled on, “The Little Blue Book of Advertising: 52 Small Ideas That Can Make a Big Difference” The reviewers really made me think there’s some great insights that make a difference.

      Thanks so much, Brad. The last time I won something was when I was young and I was playing bingo beside my grandmother at a fair. I won a really nice lawn chair.

      This is very exciting!

      Hi Robyn, maybe you can read the book in your lawn chair! The book is a great choice, one of the best I’ve read on the topic.
