Instead they try to create a comfort level with customer. And once that is done, they try to suggest us something. These suggestions have those words hidden which they want you to think about. They will ask you for answer in closed boundary by giving you few options. Once in comfort zone our mind doesn’t realize there is world beyond these options. These are communication tricks, which could be employed by bloggers too, but we need to have patience to see results Rhona — When ever you come across any smart sales person, you would realize that they don’t force for their product.

Rather we can employee some communication tricks to make some small memory imprints for them. So that they pick-up what we want them to, from our conversation. These techniques are already used by many of automobile sales persons in US and many other parts of the world. Blank broadcast for links may be dumped by the audience hearing you.

I certainly agree with this quote, Rhona. The good news is that I also thinks lacking an audience for your blog makes things that much more glorious for you when you do in fact find/grow an audience for your blog. Life is boring when its easy :-) However, if you are already well-stimulated by other activities and responsibilities in your life, then going in to blogging cold and seeking to build an audience for your blog while also writing, editing, designing, and getting up to speed on the latest social media tools for it is, altogether, probably a recipe for wearing yourself out. That's one of the reasons we organized The Bloggers Bulletin: it gathers a strong group of blogging/social media Contributors who post regularly; then, on the administrators' end (and amongst other activities we do such as editing, picture selection, site management, email responses, strategic planning), we work on the day-to-day job of building a larger audience for Contributors' daily posts -- something which might be challenging for Contributors in the group to do by themselves. Today marks our 6 month in existence. Congratulations to all of us and many thanks to our readers! “Well, if you’ve got a blog looking for an audience, you’re already in trouble.”

Hence, I started texting when my teen wanted to text me. I wouldn't miss an opportunity to engage with a teen willing to communicate. For some Baby Boomers, that means getting on Skype when a grandchild calls from across the country. It usually starts with Facebook so people can reconnect with friends and then relatives. Blogs and Twitter are other animals, which to me are more about information gathering. If the only info someone wants is about a friend or family's goings-on, then they will never see value in these social networks. If, however, they are still in the work force and want to stay current.... or want to continue to build their own careers -- well, that's a horse of a different color.
