Everyone is doing it! Blogging that is. And as I have come to learn over the past few months - running a blog is one of the very best ways to share dynamic, up-to-date information with clients, colleagues, and friends.
At the same time the information shared is syndicated to millions of servers worldwide and a real contribution can be made by the sharing of knowledge through a blog. Since our newest member of the company is an absolute technical wizard (thanks to Paul McNeely) it is now so much easier to post current content every couple days vs publishing it on our website or putting everything into an e-newsletter.
Now we can just send out summary emails that highlight topics and articles - and more simply share the links to that content vs putting it all into an email. This makes the e-newsletter updates much easier to quickly scan and get to specific articles / updates that you find of interest and value.
Thanks again for your readership, interest and most of all your personal and professional relationship. I look forward to sharing some great information on how to profitably grow your business and reach your personal and professional goals.
