Blogging or Newsletters or Both?

Why adding blogging and newsletters to your content marketing mix will increase sales opportunities Often when I work with new entrepreneurs or even seasoned business owners, a lot of confusion happens around the whole content marketing thing.

It may not be a new service but a new goal for your business. Take stock of your goals and see if they’re reflected in your current content. A content makeover isn’t the same as a new website.
