I like the idea of starting with success in mind… I mean I have a few different blogs, each focuses on different topics, readers etc… It is so so important to identifying your finish line, I mean put down on paper what you really want from your blog!? Once you have answered this all important question I believe it becomes easier to post regular / informative info…. Keeeeep blogging! http://mjward.co.uk/blog

Hi Ryan

'it’s very difficult to be popular without being good.'

Couldn't agree more with this- true in many paths of life also

I'm beginning to think that blogging can be ridiculously good PR for individual self employed people (or small groups of).

What are your thoughts on SMEs (Small to Medium Enterprises) using blogging as a tool of promotion for their company?

For instance I encourage personal trainers to start a blog based on their knowledge of training; since they have an awful lot of engaging content to talk about if they choose to (testimonials, nutrition, motivation, physical conditioning).

But normal business finds it difficult to approach blogging with any
There is a fine line between 'trying too hard' and 'being corporate' when choosing the angle at which they filter their content. What are your thoughts on how a corporate events venue based business could use blogging technology to retain/add customers?

Do you think blogging is limited to a self-employed person or small team who are in the service industry?

Well, you're on the right track with reading blogs. Learn everything
you can about the business, start with a small client and build from
there. If there was any secret more than work hard and never stop
learning, there would be a lot more successful agencies.

Best of luck!
