Enstine, thanks for stopping and letting us know :)
Thanks for all that great information about the benefits of blogging. You have put a lot of really useful tips all in one fantastic article.
Hi there :) Thanks for stopping by and letting us know :)
Thanks for sharing…great info!
You have some really interesting stats in this post. I already have a blog and this info will be helpful, but as an Art Director and Graphic Designer the “Attention Please” section is particularly interesting. The stats about how many SMB websites are lacking the basic inbound contact links are amazing and show how much opportunity there is for Designers to bring value to clients. HOWEVER, the biakelsey.com source links lead to a 403 Forbidden Acess page. The stats would be more meaningful (and useful) with the source data.
Thanks!
thank your for your great help.I like it
Thanks for sharing…Great way….its useful.
Wow! These are some really impressive statistics. Thanks for sharing!
I personally check online bloggers if they have a review on a certain product that i wish to get. If they have a positive review about then ill buy it. The usual suspect are top 3 reviewers that i see when i searched on Google. Thanks for the list, i learned a lot.
There’s more than 45 reasons to blog but this list is perfect!
Thanks for sharing this stuff with us!

I believe that a social media consultant must be attuned to the company goals and aspirations if he or she is to represent them on their social media channels. I also think that outsourcing social media marketing is a good idea for a company looking to specialize in their core business. In any case, most businesses outsource marketing and advertising and I don’t see why social media marketing should be any different. You just need to be actively involved to ensure that you are represented in the way that you want
