When speaking, I can almost guarantee someone will ask me this question. (In addition to 'how much time should I spend on social media?') And I wish there were an easy answer.

By Rachel Last September, I made a commitment to myself – and to my audience – to blog twice per week. That may not sound difficult being a social media professional, but like you, my clients come first so there are times when I knew that making this commitment would be a challenge. I am […]

I believe the love/hate relationship with writing exists because writing requires both inspiration and perspiration. I’ve found that it’s important to have a balance of both in order to create compelling content on a consistent […]
The thought of blogging terrifies many of my clients. Not too long ago, it terrified me too. Just like anything new or different, it’s the fear of the unknown that often gets the best of us.
