David, I thoroughly agree with you on building community and communication. I would add that it is also important to have ongoing education through regular posts of the many ways of how online marketing enhances the offline business. I believe in the “spoke and hub” marketing theory where you have many different sources of traffic generation to the “hub” which is the offline business. Keep up the great site here!

Regards,
Bruce

The idea of “being real” is huge. I think people try way too hard and end up overthinking the concept of blogging. It doesn’t have to be a genius 1500 word essay, 5 times a week. If it’s relevant, insightful, even a great quote — it can bring in traffic and subscribers.

Tons of businesses and political parties in my country used blogs as their promotional tool. So, I’m not really surprised.
