We saw right away, the potential a business could these tools to their advantage. But here In Chicago, most people still don't get it! So many of my clients are outside of the state. But since we live in a virtual world - that's fine. But we discovered early on, how to capitalize on keywords for any given industry. And we have over 25 case studies to back up what a blog can do for someone's web presence. Sure, ANYONE can start a blog. But it has to be set up for success. And as you know, most people who want to do-it-yourself - make the 10 most common blogging mistakes and get off on the wrong foot! I now manange about a dozen sites daily, 2 dozen sites monthly. But even now, some people JUST DON"T GET IT. I get exhausted being an evangelist sometimes. Derrick It’s so funny – we discovered the power of blogs and the business connection about 3 years ago.

I highly recommend signing up to your newsletter which alerted me to this information. Thank you for walking your talk by knowing your customers, solving problems, informing, advising and helping us get the best results. I would add a few other things you do well that work for me - 'keep it simple', 'be selective' and 'avoid information overload'. Some bloggers send endless newsletters and emails which end up being ignored, the 'wow' factor is lost and the 'gems' of information that could be helpful get missed. Thanks again Sue Hi Chris

Many of us start blogging because we thought we should, and as pointed out earlier, it really is a wonderful way to become more aware of and consolidate your thoughts around your niche. But spend some time planning as advised in slide 12, perhaps look into your future and see what you want for yourself, or your blog at least and make sure the name/address fits the goals.
