Why I am not posting much...
I have suggested that a good blog is posted to at least twice a week. A great blog is posted to once or more a day with content that will attract and retain a target readership. I have also suggested that if you are not willing to post to your blog frequently, you should consider a different method of communication.
Then... I break my own rules.
I have been incredibly busy creating a local area events guide called “SOKY Happenings.” It is up to 52 full color pages with more than 10,000 copies being printed each month. I have personally created and overseen the entire process down to the smallest detail while remembering that suggestions, advice and good counsel is priceless.
We have been very fortunate to have several people who are willing to assist, write and offer guidance and there’s no way we could have done what we have without them. Yet still, every detail must be considered and addressed and that takes time.
Another reason I have stopped posting as often or as openly is due to some concern for privacy. I noticed that I would write my thoughts and ideas and soon find them used in other companies and/or products. While I should be flattered by this, I had to consider the consequences of this on my own business. As a result; I have metered what I write more stringently to protect my current business efforts as well as the many new businesses I have planned in the short and long term. (Anyone selling 10 acres in downtown Bowling Green? {grin})
I hope to be up and blogging again soon, but for the foreseeable future; I will be building a brick and mortar publishing company instead of blogging. I do post more frequently on my personal homepage just to keep friends, family and associates informed. www.DavidFrancis.org. All other collaboration is accomplished on private forums with secure access.
Thank you for reading and also for your letters of encouragement. I try to answer them all so if you haven’t heard from me, the letter could have been automatically sorted to the junk mail folder. I receive about 50 “spam” letters per hour and though I scan through that folder before I empty it, sometimes things are missed. As a rule... if I receive a letter, I always acknowledge it.
