I’d like to begin this article by sharing a couple of videos. Let’s start with this one:
And now this one…
Yeah, I know, that’s not quite fair. lol After my post about LinkedIn being like Facebook what else could one expect? 🙂
Truthfully, even though it’s rare that I do it these days, it not only can’t hurt to do some marketing, networking or outreach on LinkedIn if you’re a sole proprietor, consultant or looking to upgrade your position but it’s almost imperative to do so.

I’ve been blogging for a very long time, and I’ve read thousands of blog posts, probably tens of thousands, over the years. Because of that, I know all the rules that we bloggers are supposed to follow so that our blogs will be successful.
