Yep, this is a blatant, self-serving vote solicitation. I'm in second place in the Journalist category of the Small Business Influencer 2011 contest! And, as the contest ends August 9th, your daily votes are crucial right now.
So please go to Vote for Susan Ward as a Small Business Influencer and give me a vote.
My colleague, Alyssa Gregory of About.com Small Business Information, is nominated too and would also really appreciate a vote so why not vote for her, too, while you're there? Vote for Alyssa Gregory as a Small Business Influencer.
And what would be really, really great is if you go back and vote for us every day because this is one of those "one person, one vote" every day contests and Alyssa and I only have six more days to get votes, so the more times you vote for us, the better chance we have of winning.
So please, set your reminder app and come back; your six votes could make the difference!

Hello Susan!
I love your articles but, maeby you will give us a hint on how to vote because i have entered the site and there’s no vote button to click on…
Thank you!
Hi Don,
Thanks for the compliment! And thanks for trying to vote.
When you follow the link above or this one http://influencers.smallbiztrends.com/small-business-journalists/susan-ward/, you should come to a page with my name on it and a big square number on the top left with the word vote under it. Just click on the word ‘vote’ and that should do it.
I just voted for you.
Good luck!
Love your work, M
Thanks so much!
