Consolidating some of those points, my big takeaways were:
ReplyDelete*Don't be afraid to post/Tweet/update/upload more often.
*But still, have a schedule.
*Play to all audiences (B2B, B2C, linkerati, etc.).
*Someone finally put a name to "rising above the clutter": Contra-competitive timing! I love it!
And a little off point, but from my own experience:
*You can post all day, every day, but your content had better have value and purpose for your customers, or you're turning yourself into the problem rather than the solution.
Thanks again for the great collection!
