Published August 13, 2013 | Posted in Authority Building, Basic Marketing
Written by Bonnie Chomica At the Coombs Country Fair this weekend, I revisited my childhood memories of the 4H club I had belonged to in Manitoba.

Their… Continue reading →

7 Easy Topics to Blog About in 2013

Published January 4, 2013 | Posted in Business Writing, Content Marketing
I’m really excited about 2013 as Content Marketing continues to be on the rise. The need to provide quality content to people seeking help and solutions should be every business’s marketing focus.

Chris Brogan Speech Review – Pt 1 Last weekend, I attended the 3rd Social Media Camp in Victoria, BC, and was very excited to hear Chris Brogan as the keynote speaker.
