Blogging for dollars - can you teach an old dog new tricks?

Business Edge, Change


Several months ago, Mike Sansone, a nationally known blogging leader located in Des Moines, told me that in today’s business environments, blogging is a key promotional tool.  I confess, at that point I had hardly read a blog, much less composed one.  So it is with mild shock that I share that not only am I blogging (albeit sketchily) but I’ve also teamed with the Des Moines Register to manage the Business Edge Blog at the Register’s website.  Please take a look…a number of business experts are providing expertise on an array of business topics that are valuable to small and mid-sized business owners, many of whom, are my age.  By the way, you’ll also find good advice at Iowabiz.com, a site managed by Drew McLellan.

So if you’re reading this and fear blogging, take it from an old dog who learned a new trick…reading and writing blogs will boost your business.
