Trying to learn new skills to help me out for the future and I know this is a big one if I want to work in an agency at some point.

I’ll post one to my blog and you can download it and use it as you like. I do not warrant it in any way. I hope it helps.

More social media proposals for strategy, goals, tools, timelines, and the works. Honestly I’m brand new with learning these so not exactly 100% sure what type of content goes into it, which is why I’m looking around.

My first proposals were based on proposals from the company I worked for at the time. They had their own format, and it was based in terms of a proposal for computer sales and computer repair. Since that time I’ve done more than a few interactive proposals.

What type of work is it for?

I’ll see if I can dig up something and strip it down for you.

Never done it before since things are not traditional in that sense with where I work, but trying to learn and gain the experience of writing them. Any site recommendations for templates?

I agree with Marc, there are a lot of templates out there. I’ve had some success with my proposals in part because I had help getting started, I’m happy to pass on what I can.

Its formulaic to a degree.

Working for a start-up we kind of forgo the professional proposals but I would like to learn.

I really feel that twitter is a kind of Ebay for the E-Services. everyone has something to sell and does not pay attention to what is said.

As I try to disseminate information on the benefit of my website, others are replying to me by selling something without any feed back at all about what I had said.

Is this a world of deaf-mute, back on themselves?
