This is amazingly helpful. Thanks for taking the time to share these thoughts, but moreover thanks for taking the time to sit down with me and enter into our story. I'm continually amazed at how God keeps bringing the people and resources we need at just the right time.

I would advise anyone who wants to start a blog to begin by reading and commenting on other people's blogs for a couple of months. When I first started advising clients to use a blog, I had them start all at once. The problem arose from the fact that even though I spent a lot of time educating those clients, they never really understood what a blog was. As a result they rarely wrote articles and even when the clients did the blog suffered from the lack of experience.
I had to almost start over from scratch. Once I got them to participate in blogs and get in the conversation for a couple of months their own blogs benefited and you could see an improvement. I now advise all of my clients to participate before leading. I have seen how this helps them when they start their own blog. A hard-learned lesson for me and a word of caution for those wanting to start a blog in the future.
Thanks for good PR info.

wow, that's a solid tip right there... one that I haven't really pushed out so hard, but worth noting... i've found that education is the vast majority of our efforts, especially in the ministry space. it makes sense that it would apply elsewhere.

I agree about more of educating than anything else. I call it "marketing mentoring" programs with my clients. :)

I was going to try "apprenticeship", but I do not know how to cobble or put horseshoes on a horse so we are trying out mentoring.
