Arrogance, a blogger’s biggest enemy....
Markets are conversations.
Don’t talk to us as if you’ve forgotten how to speak.Don’t make us feel small.Remind us to be larger.Get a little of that human touch.
You want us to pay? We want you to pay attention.
- Cluetrain Manifesto
To link to you, people need to: know you, like you and trust you
You have to stand out, but stay connected
Conversations create a ripple effect
Bond with your readers, and improve the conversation!
