Purpose of Blogging

Hi, my name is Todd Terwillegar, and this is the first blog I have ever written. For your sake, I will skip why I did not blog before now, and get to the meat of the piece - why I have begun to.

I recently started Entrepreneurs&Business Marketing as a proprietary business venture - concerned with consulting various other small businesses regionally in marketing methodology - in Midland, Michigan. For those of you who do not know what my business does, please take a moment to visit www.businessmarketingconsult.com. This business idea stemmed from the growing interest in using the new marketing sector known as social networks (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) as a business tool, which would expand upon its original social purposes. As I have expanded my search for information on how to do this, I have realized another growing trend. Using blogs for business.

The power of corporate or business blogging has escaped me until rather recently, when I realized that it will become my free e-zine (if you will) for releasing pertinent information on the following categories:

1. innovative marketing strategies
2. new uses for social networks
3. entrepreneurial news or tips
4. small business strategies

The power of this blog will stem from the research that I am doing daily on new strategies for my business that can help anyone.

I will keep my blogs short and sweet, because Time=Money. I hope the time you spend reading my blogs will help you earn what it is you want most out of life, whatever that may be.

Tip:

Every single person you meet at any given point is a possible connection, or networking opportunity. If you want to succeed, you have to know people. It is the way it is. Walk up with a smile, shake their hand confidently, and most importantly, HAVE A PLAN. Too many people walk up with no plan and miss the true opportunities at hand.
