Why trees, roots, and birds in a post about being human? Not sure, other than that this image says "connection" to me in a way many with people just don't. The most important thing companies miss when it comes to marketing (especially content marketing, or inbound marketing if you prefer) is that it’s about making…
The most common mistake businesses make is writing like they're a business. While I've noticed a shift to a friendlier writing style in the past decade, partially thanks to social media and I'm sure influenced as well by Millennials entry into the working world in large numbers, there's still waaaaay too much bad business writing…
Writing is hard. There's no way around that. Everyone gets stuck at least once in a while and needs a little nudge to get them going. I'm going to share a few ideas that I use frequently to help bust through writer's block. But, first, why should you even care about blogging? Why Your Business…
