			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Hello Social Media! </strong>I am asking for your help. I am not asking you to spend a penny, and I do not mean to take a lot of your valuable time.</p>
<p>I need you to help me spread a message of friendships, business, the bridge between the two, and the value of having friends to lend a hand. Along with a ton of helpful tips and tools relating to Twitter, the importance of relationship building is a strong message in my new book, and if you can help others to hear about it, you will have done me a huge personal favor, and one that I hope you will feel good about.</p>
<p>I spent a lot of time thinking about writing this book. I really did not want to be the guy selling a book, because I knew it would be hard, and I knew there would surely be nay-sayers. Friends enticed me by telling me the Internet, including Twitter, could really benefit from my no-nonsense approach, and that they really believed I have valuable experience to share with others. So I spent hundreds of hours &#8230; months of my life &#8230; during a recession, to produce a book that I sincerely believe can benefit the Twitter community, and beyond Twitter, with lessons I have learned about social networking. Now I must find whether I have done the right thing &#8230; I hope so!</p>
<p>Here it is &#8230; my quest to see if I am right, or if I am wrong. If I am right, people will pitch in and help me to spread the word. If I am wrong about building relationships and networks of alliances, then I guess the book is not worth the paper it is printed on.</p>
<h2>How Can You Help?</h2>
<p>I would first like to ask you to <a title="Twitter for Business: Twitter for Friends on Facebook" href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Twitter-for-Business-Twitter-for-Friends/118173786481?ref=mf" target="_blank">join my Facebook page</a> and <a title="Mark Aaron Murnahan on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/murnahan" target="_blank">follow me on Twitter</a> and watch carefully for updates. The big effort is to have the book become very popular on Monday. Here are a few ways you can start helping to spread the message &#8230; and remember &#8230; Monday is the big day!</p>
<ol>
<li>Share this with others using Twitter, Facebook, Digg, StumbleUpon, Sphinn, Reddit.</li>
<li>Tweet it again! Not everybody sees it the first time you tweet it.</li>
<li>Add a link to your Website / blog. I have added some graphic and text links below along with the code to put it on your site.</li>
<li>Blog about it &#8230; <a title="Are You a Trust Agent? Chris Brogan is!" href="http://www.awebguy.com/2009/08/are-you-a-trust-agent-chris-brogan-is/" target="_blank">here is an example</a> of a similar case when I was asked to help.</li>
<li>Ask for it in book stores.</li>
<li>Recommend me for an interview with television or radio stations. They love Twitter, and a story about it benefits them, and me. <a href="http://twitterforbusinesstwitterforfriends.com/2009/10/press-release/">Here is a press release</a>.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Thank you so very much for any assistance you can give!</h2>
<p>I wish to sincerely thank you. Please know that I will be there to do the same for you when you need me!</p>
