Exactly…! Many business owners I work with don't think they have anything to offer, or the time to “write a bunch of stuff.” Once we help them plan when to blog, for instance, and what topics make sense, it becomes much less frightening. We sometimes edit or polish, but the content comes from the business owner or management… The original “Subject Matter Experts.”

Thanks Mandy. Most small business owners think, “I just want someone to take care of this for us.” But technology has changed the way a business gets their message to the world. It requires a more personal approach now. It requires a constant stream of content and instant follow-up. Someone inside your organization needs to be in charge of integrating your business more into the community. But your message needs to be refined. Your strategy needs to be in place. A systematic approach needs to be in place. Professionals help small businesses craft a professional, planned, and more methodical approach.

Doug, I think many businesses really struggle with online promotion because they don't use an integrated marketing approach. Building a good site doesn't guarantee traffic… As you point out, businesses must take responsibility for successful promotion. I love that you're advocating for businesses to educate themselves along with utilizing professional guidance.

You asked about getting the word out, and where to start. I answered your question in a new blog post, http://bit.ly/bjbCdP

Thanks for asking. I hope this helps.

The problem how do I get the message out
