BILL'S BLOG HELPS YOU "COMMUNICATE FOR SUCCESS"

Is the term "blog" one you are familiar with? If so, you know that a "blog" is a combination of two words--Web and log. Now, this is not a log that came from a tree. This log is similar to a person's diary (remember how ships at sea kept a "log," a detailed accounting of events?). So a "Web log"--or blog in a combined abbreviation--is akin to an individual's diary of thoughts that he or she shares with a wide audience by making it available on the Internet.
The name of my blog reflects its purpose:

COMMUNICATE FOR SUCCESS

Here is the link to Bill’s Blog:

You may want to ask, "Why, Bill, did you create a blog?" Here are my reasons:

First: While I offer tips on communication, motivation, customer service and sales through my free, e-mail monthly newsletter—Winning Words and Ways--there are many valuable thoughts that come to me more than once a month. I want to have a vehicle for sharing them immediately.

Second: I welcome reader feedback--your responses to what I have written. Yes, some people write back after reading my newsletter. Yet I am sure that more readers will respond when they read my blog.

Third: Blogging gives me an opportunity to talk more specifically about current events. For example, let's say I had been blogging when CNN Headline News changed its evening format. Definitely, I would have voiced my disagreement, because as a media veteran I think Headline News surrendered the format that made it distinctive. Of course, I would have wanted to know what my blog readers thought about the format switch. That lively exchange of ideas is one reason blogging has become so popular.

Fourth: Blogging offers unlimited space. I can write four or five blog entries a week. . .or ten entries. This means you will want to keep checking my blog regularly, at least a couple of times a week, to see the brief entries I have added, and--equally as exciting--to read comments from readers, then add your own.

How do you get to my blog? That's easy. Use this link:

http://communicateforsuccess.blogspot.com

Once you arrive there, bookmark my blog, and/or put it in your Favorites section.

I can guess that you are curious about the cost. Same as the newsletter--complimentary, no charge at all. So all you will invest is your reading time and your time writing responses. In simple language--it is free!

You will see that I have posted some helpful articles already, including:

"Lampton's Law for Cell Phone Users"
You will want to share this one with your professional colleagues.

"The One Job We Cannot Delegate"
Really? What would that be? Read the article and find out.

"A Jewel of a Jewelry Store"
Just when we think somebody held a funeral for good customer service, an example like this one restores our faith.

To add your comments to these and other articles, you will need to go through a simple one-time registration process, establishing your name and password, and providing a few items of basic information. Under any entry, click on the word Comments, to start the process.

NOTE: Neither I nor anyone else will share your contact information.

So, I encourage you to visit my blog immediately!
