Welcome to my Blog!
After learning and teaching blogging strategy, and writing many blog posts under my own name or someone else’s, I decided to start a blog for Pithy Wordsmithery. I had always considered having a blog, but didn’t want to start one just for the sake of doing it. Blogs should be a way to provide useful information, rather than one more task to cross off a marketing to-do list.
As my business has grown, it has become clear to me how starting a blog would be helpful for clients and prospective clients. I find myself answering the same questions over and over multiple times a week:
- What are the best ways to market my business?
- Would writing a book help me reach my goals?
- Should I try to get a book deal or self-publish?
I certainly don’t blame people for having questions—a lot of the answers they’re seeking aren’t easy to find online. What’s even harder is interpreting information and deciding how to best apply it in their unique situation. I’m able to provide guidance after gaining a good understanding of people’s goals for their business and personal brand, but I realized I could help even more people through a blog.
I’ve taken note of the most frequently asked questions from clients and prospects, and I plan on covering them in this blog. I am more than happy to take requests for posts, so please email me if you are curious about a topic or have a specific question.
I’m looking forward to getting started!
