Help Wanted!

This post is more than a year overdue but I firmly believe things work out the way they are supposed to and I feel in my gut that now is the right time!  And I am hoping that this opportunity might come at the right time for someone reading this too!

With my 3 year blog anniversary coming up next month and a BRAND spanking new (SUPER CUTE) redesign in the making (coming soon!) I have lots of  new amazing advertising opportunities available for local OC businesses. and that’s where I need help!

I am looking for someone to help me with advertising sales and account management so we can GROW our Tiny Oranges tree and take it to the next level!

When thinking about where I would find this person, my first thought was, I need to do a post, because preferably this person will be someone who already knows, reads and (ideally) loves my blog! Because when you believe in and have a passion for what you are selling it is contagious!  So, here is my official “help wanted” ad…
