“Nettie is a brilliant social marketing consultant whose special skill is being able to work with people who don’t yet understand social networking or feel afraid or discouraged by the learning curve. I am so lucky I found Nettie– she walked me through the steps in a way that gave me confidence. Plus she’s a blast to talk to, a not inconsiderable advantage.”

Sally Helgesen – Author – www.sallyhelgesen.com

“Nettie has helped me SO powerfully in expanding my digital platform, connecting with fantastic new peers and partners, exponentially increasing my media exposure for my book Breakdown Breakthrough and my coaching business Ellia Communications, and getting “suddenly social” with relative ease (and no pain!). Her expert advice and instructive coaching helps me get my work and messages about women’s empowerment out there in the world, and make more money at the same time! As Nettie has taught me, with social media, we are able to build an enormous global stage on which to deliver and produce the “plays” we love the best! I can’t recommend her highly enough!”

“I was introduced to Nettie before the publication of my first mainstream fiction novel. As a beginning author, I found Nettie’s expertise and professionalism invaluable. She made the once overwhelming task of setting up a blog understandable. With her initial setup, my blog site is easy to access.With the systems Nettie set up, my assistant has been able to feed my blogs into dozens of other sites and greatly increase my on-line visibility. With my sequel being released in September, we will again be seeking Nettie’s expertise.

“Marketing your first book is much more daunting than writing the book. Lucky for me Nettie swooped in and laid out exactly what had to get done, connected with great reviewers, and knew where and how to get the awards. Moreover, her positive “can do” attitude and energy made the process a delight.”

 “Everything that I know about social media (including LinkedIn), I learned from Nettie Hartsock. She is a brilliant online strategist who has the gift of seeing the “bigger picture” and shares this gift with her clients. Nettie is a woman of integrity. She will limit the number of clients that she accepts so that she provide stellar professional services and attention to detail to her existing clients. Although our assignment is complete, I can still consult with Nettie for her professional opinion and she has always been gracious in accommodating my requests. Nettie is patient with clients who have limited online experience and turns them into pros. She is very passionate about blogging and social media training which show in the caliber of her work. I am truly honored to be one of Nettie’s former clients and would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.”

“Nettie taught a class on using social media to promote books at a Writers League of Texas conference. It was excellent. I was in awe of her knowledge of social media and plan to avail myself of her services to help promote my book.”

Sheila Allee , Speechwriter and Web Editor , Texas Education Agency

“I attended a Freelance Austin talk Nettie gave a few years ago on blogging and social networking. What’s most noticeable immediately about Nettie is her energy–she’s incredibly enthusiastic about what she does and loves sharing ideas with others. She provided great information on emerging technologies and how to make them work effectively. I’m guessing there were more than a few blogs born that day! Nettie’s zest for life and her passion for her work are an inspiration.”

 “Attending Nettie Hartsock’s “OverWebbed” workshop has been a highlight of my year, and I’m still raving about it to other writers. The content of her presentation is enormously valuable for anyone creating or enhancing a digital footprint. Nettie’s tips on targeting readership and refining content are thought-provoking and immediately applicable. By addressing bloggers as both readers and writers, she shapes the ideal contemporary web networker. Her time-saving pointers, resource links, and steps for capturing audience metrics show how writers can power-up their online presence without compromising their creative output. I highly recommend attending a course with Nettie and following her Hartsock Agency blog, a great capstone incorporating all her advice.”

“Nettie is a joy to work with. She organized and executed a four-month PR campaign for my new book, Awake at the Wheel. She got the word out, set up a number of blogtalk radio interviews for me, got the book reviewed all over the blogosphere, and coached me and my assistant on a wide variety of ways to make magic happen. I especially appreciated Nettie’s rigor, easy going style, straight talk, common sense, accessibility, honesty, knowledge, and big heart. I look forward to working with her again.”

Mitchell Ditkoff, Author – www.ideachampions.com

“Nettie is an absolutely lovely person, who has extraordinarily deep relationships in the online space. She thinks creatively about how to position and leverage her clients’ books, and because she’s so knowledgeable about what’s happening online with regards to business books, how everything works, and who’s who — she’s able to make all kinds of great things happen!”

“Nettie gave a terrific presentation on the topic of Advanced Blogging at PMA (IBPA)’s Publishing University. She was generous with her time, and her expertise was evident.”

Jamie Carter,  Operations Manager, Publisher Alley

“Nettie is extremely knowledgeable and an expert in the field of PR. Her insight has led me to understand the importance of connections in the web world. I took a three hour seminar from her at the Writer’s League of Texas and was thoroughly impressed by the wealth of knowledge I walked away with. I literally had a written list of over 40 resources, tips, and necessary tasks to complete in order to build promotions for my publishing company and children’s chapter book series. I talked to Nettie just at the start of my publication and have already seen the benefits of her advice. It was perfect timing to say the least! Thank you for all of your help. I had no idea how many opportunities are available to an author/publisher by becoming alive on line.”
