You’ve launched a blog and have been at it for a while now. But the results you’re getting aren’t what you had hoped for. Despite posting regularly, traffic is still low and you’re still waiting on that first comment. So what’s the deal? Why isn’t your blog resonating with readers? Other company blogs get regular comments, so why isn’t yours?

Don’t worry, most companies find themselves in this position when they launch a blog. This seminar examines ways that you can boost your blogging efforts. Mack Collier will walk you through the elements of a successful blog, and how you transform your blog from boring into a powerful tool that connects with, and even EXCITES your customers!
