I Built It, They Came. Now What??

Last week DoingItLocal reached over a quarter of a million viewers!  The numbers are down this week with just a mere 127,985.  DoingItLocal can be much more, even becoming nationwide.  I am probably what is holding that back because I'm not a marketing person.  I am looking to PARTNER with the right person.  This isn't a job offer.  I'm looking for someone who has a background of marketing products or services and is tired of doing it for someone else.  If that is you or someone you know email me at DoingItLocal.com@gmail.com. Here are last week's Facebook Insights, these numbers did not include the audience of Twitter or DoingItLocal.com.
