I did it all wrong; but at the same time, unknowingly, I did many things right. Rico Mossegeld, Fool For Five, interviewed me last year about the back-story of Diva Marketing and my other blog Blogger Stories. <a href="http://tinyurl.com/2zxd3g">http://tinyurl.com/2zxd3g</a> <br /> <br />Skipping forward almost 3-years (that I find hard to believe!)blogging has given me more than I ever expected. Along with meeting wonderful people - like you - from across the globe, it changed my business model, outlook on marketing and life experiences. Not bad for a silly little website(smile). I wish you as much fun.http://pr.cateringpage.com/2007/04/01/is-blogging-an-effective-form-of-business-communication.aspx#comment-309011Mon, 02 Apr 2007 17:18:42 GMThttp://pr.cateringpage.com/2007/04/01/is-blogging-an-effective-form-of-business-communication.aspx#comment-308813Lawrence PerryToby - You do me a great service in your comment, and Maurice Watts will also be encouraged. I am using Ecademy as a means of publicising my blog to a wider audience, and therefore may I ask you how did you start blogging, and write the Diva Blog? http://bloombergmarketing.blogs.com/bloomberg_marketing/ Kind regards, Lawrence Perryhttp://pr.cateringpage.com/2007/04/01/is-blogging-an-effective-form-of-business-communication.aspx#comment-308813Mon, 02 Apr 2007 05:30:19 GMThttp://pr.cateringpage.com/2007/04/01/is-blogging-an-effective-form-of-business-communication.aspx#comment-308785TobyLawrence - Thank you for your very kind words and the shout out to GourmetStation. I am humbled to be compared to Maurice Watts. <br /> <br />I'd like to add one more idea to your excellent post of using blogs as a business communication tool. One that is very simple but makes the difference. "Write as you." Don't hesitant or be shy about letting your personality come thru. The secret to building relationships, online or off, is the ability to forge that important connection .. that happens when I get to "know" you.<br /> <br />And from what I've read of Catering Your PR .. you're doing a great job! If you find yourself in Atlanta the drinks are on me (smile).<br /> <br />On another note, since you mentioned Ted Demopoulos, your readers might enjoy reading his story about how he began blogging - <a href="http://tinyurl.com/24psyo">http://tinyurl.com/24psyo</a>http://pr.cateringpage.com/2007/04/01/is-blogging-an-effective-form-of-business-communication.aspx#comment-308785Mon, 02 Apr 2007 04:52:22 GMThttp://pr.cateringpage.com/2007/03/04/first-impressions-help-your-business.aspx#comment-285603Christian DE NEEFFirst Impressions?
