What Should You Do If You Don’t Get Social Media?
Many of my local business clients say that they just don’t get social media. They tell me they just don’t understand how using social media is going to get them more business.

What’s Better Than Being on the Front Page of Digg?
Last week, we were talking about one of the reasons business blogging growth is slowing.
Part of the reason growth is slowing is that the instant fame model of blogging is proving to be hollow. You can’t be an instant success blogger. It just doesn’t happen.
