What Does A Blogging Strategy Look Like?

...that's a question I've been focusing on recently as Jonathan and I continue with our strategy to take the business to the next level. I've always blogged primarily because I enjoy it and latterly have continued to do so because I can see just how powerful a marketing tool it is. I was ...

Life (And Online Networking) Doesn’t Work Like That…

The more involved and experienced I get with marketing a business online, the more I can see how and why so many people jump on the bandwagon, become disillusioned when it doesn't work for them and then denounce it as an evil way of doing business.

A Slight Rant About Blog Abusers

Is there anything more annoying than following a blog where the writer - after months of scheduled writing - for some reason decides to stop blogging regularly and reverts to the odd post once every month or so? (Ok ok, so I know I don't write on this as regularly as I did but I never ...

Earning Money from Blogging

...I don't (well, perhaps a $100 per month) - which is unfortunate given that I spend quite a bit of my time doing it! Yes, I do it for the love of it and because I love the fact that I can blog about something a little obscure (e.g. most businesses in Grenada) one day and ...
