(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 21, 2008 ) Goshen, MA – With National Small Business Week, April 21-25, highlighting small business in the US, a new YouTube video offers a vivid look at today’s technology-assisted business lifestyle in rural America (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-HgjPdfGiE ). Author and marketing consultant Marcia Yudkin, based in Goshen, Massachusetts (population 920), portrays the glories of living and working in close daily contact with the four seasons.

“Is small-town America a constricted, dying, bitter environment? Not at all. My video shows that it can serve as a gateway to freedom and happiness,” says Yudkin, author of 6 Steps to Free Publicity and 10 other books. “Although the high-speed cable and DSL networks have ignored our town, I can easily work with clients from as far away as Japan or Switzerland – plus enjoy the bears, beaver, mink and moose right outside my door.”

Yudkin’s YouTube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-HgjPdfGiE ) shows the satellite dish she uses to connect to the Internet, her quiet home office, pristine hiking trails, the nearby swimming pond and her road, which sees only one or two cars an hour. In the narration, she explains that the riches of nature, not Porsches or Ferraris, reward her.

Marcia Yudkin (www.yudkin.com) has been successfully self-employed since 1982 and has published 11 books, most by major publishers such as HarperCollins and Penguin USA. She has delivered commentaries on National Public Radio and appeared on stage at national conventions for associations like the Association of American Publishers and the Canadian Public Relations Society. She now provides marketing consulting, copywriting and coaching for clients around the world.

Her YouTube video lasts 2½ minutes and can be viewed for free at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-HgjPdfGiE .
