Well I have got to the end of this challenge and posted 30 posts in 30 days. What a wonderful way to motivate us to write hopefully interesting posts and work in a community of writers and professionals that care and share.
I hope to continue every other day with this blog and post useful ideas and content to my readers . I thank both Dr Jeanette Cates and Connie Ragen Green for encouraging me and 240 or so others to participate in this modified skinner box experiment. I will not push the handle to get my emotional reward for completion but I will remember the habits that these two educators and mentors have instilled.
I am interested in my readers and their thoughts on the topics I have covered over the last thirty days. What topics interest you and which ones would you like to see more of? Leave a comment or suggestion and I will follow your desires, provided they are awful and decent.):
I note that a lot of the participants also exceeded the targets and I congratulate them for it. I have learned through this that simple act of having a writing ritual has help me with the organization and direction of my business which is helping small businesses and professionals get their message out and grow their business.Practice does make perfect and all marketers can always use more practice.
Listening is also as important as writing to a marketer, by doing your basic research and finding useful information that can help others we will grow ourselves and our businesses while having fun along the way.
I do hope that we can continue to connect with the MOM group and be of assistance to others going forward

One of the best ways for people who are interested in improving their skills in any area of interest is attending continuing education events.
If you are a dentist or a doctor or a chiropractor you are used to regularily attending c.e. events to update your skills which update you and your professional educational education. Some visit for keeping their professional licensing intact.
As business people it is the same philosophy that can do wonders for us. In internet marketing this education is a valuable constructive activity. You have two great benefits .
You will learn new methods of marketing, how,when and what technology to use and strategies that will grow your business.
Above all you will be in the company of other successful people that have travelled the same route as you, have similar goals and can share their successes and failures with you.
Coming out from behind the keyboard is valuable as you can grow your list of friends who share a similar philosophy, and meet others who you can then share ideas with after you leave the conference or seminar. You will also be able to make contacts to do business or Joint Venture .
But what if you are tight for time , can’t get the travel time to work or have family obligations. You can still be there in spirit by purchasing the videos or recordings and seminar materials from the organisers of the event.

You can find ideas and improve your continuing education and business also at the Continuing Education Works like I have. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Care, Share, and Comment
My mother always said if you cannot say anything nice about someone do not say anything at all. My dad , a college football and basketball coach for over 40 years never spoke ill of someone, well maybe some referees who he might of accused of being deaf or blind, but he always found a good thing to say.
One the web we are all in it together and if we want to be good citizens we should always care about our readers, customers,competitors. That doesn’t mean we should engage with the “trolls” who do not add any value but just enjoy being rude or obnoxious. They are best ignored or treated politely. Flame wars do not look well on blogs and generally tune out readers. We should try to reply to the conversations and comments on our blogs unless they are spammers, who usually are filtered out by tools such as Akismet and others. Comments make your blog come alive and and give you valuable feedback.They also allow people to start a conversation with you and other readers.
Social Media Tools such as Twitter,Facebook,Posterous,Digg,Buzz and StumbleUpon allows us to share with our networks of friends. We publish links to items we found useful and provide others with the link and our comments. By sharing we broaden our own networks of influence and help others in their discovery of useful content. We also provide exposure to others, and their ideas and learn also at the same time. Some people consider it too time-consuming to share feeds and articles they have seen. I reject that out of hand and contend that the simple act of sharing ideas is hard wired into us and makes us feel good. Referrals are the best way to grow your business.
I am currently participating in a 30 day blog challenge with about 240 other participants sponsored by my friend Dr Jeanette Cates and have found that sharing some of the ideas from others to be a worthwhile activity. I also try to read other people’s blogs in the challenge and make comments on their blogs if I can add something of value to the conversation. If you use a Facebook application like Networked Blogs or My Blog Log you can expand your networks exponentially improve your online visibility and give back also at the same time.
Maybe I see the Law of Attraction and simple triggers like reciprocity here. What do you think? Do you follow my approach. Lets have a conversation.
