You could not be blamed if you think a blog exists to inform and entertain its readers. After all, a blog really isn’t much different than a magazine, right? And a magazine exists to inform and entertain its readers. Right? Actually, this is the exact point where many information marketers go horribly wrong. Let’s pull up a quote from an ad executive named James Collins: “There is still[…]
You’ve either got a blog already, or you’re just about to start one. Congratulations! You are one of only 500 million.

As an added benefit, the better your image[…]

Nor is it because they don’t have time – we all naturally recommend things we like to friends. The reason they don’t recommend you is because you don’t make it easy for them. Here are 7 ways[…]
If you have a blog you might want to consider allowing others to post on it. Here’s why: 1. Guest bloggers create content for you, meaning you either a) don’t have to create as much content or b) you can have even more content on your blog without the extra work. 2. Guest bloggers know things you don’t. You’ve got your expertise and they’ve got theirs, and while[…]
Which would you rather do – spend two hours thinking of a great blog post idea, researching that idea, writing the post and finally editing the post… or dashing off a video post in less than half the time?

A blogpost on your website will only attract people who[…]
