It's Mid Year, Got Your Blogging On Track?


Hi there ... 

This posting is titled as such because out of all the communications we should be doing for our businesses, blogging seems to be the largest challenge for many of us.  And, I am wondering why! 
Don't look now, but my own frequency in blogging is way behind what it should be. The mind tells me I don't have time, but in all truth, of course I have time, we all have the time!   So what's our problem?  
Do we think they won't get read? Won't count?  One thing for sure is that if they are not written, they absolutely won't get read nor count. The internet is magical and it always amazes me when I look at my blogging stats. Someone out there is reading my stuff.  They will read yours as well ... trust the internet! 
So why aren't we blogging more? There are lots of blogs out there so they must add value to a business. Those of you who know me, know that a blog to me is "water cooler conversation." It's where your prospects and clients can get to know you and the behind the scenes thinking and activities of your business. It's the back door to your business ... the real stuff!   In that sense, it should be easy to create even a daily blog ... an ongoing dialogue with your market!  A great thing! 
How about this?  Let's make a promise to each other that we will "give our best effort" to maintaining our blogs!  If you need more incentive check out my Keep Your Garden Growing Newsletter/Mailing for this week.  It includes 9 ways that blogging helps your business grow. Also, if you haven't created a blog yet, Today's Way is happy to help you.  We provide 1-on-1 training for both blogger and wordpress blogs! 
Also, please share what you think keeps you from blogging!  If you don't know for sure ...guess! Maybe we can bounce off of your thoughts till we nail down what the block is. Time to help each other grab onto and use this fantastic resource for our business success.  Let me know!!  I welcome your input. 

Keep Your Business Garden Growing!
