On the 1st of each and every month, I receive the Analytics for this website.  The Analytics detail the number of visitors for the previous month along with how they got here, where they came from, what pages they reviewed, etc., etc. - all 9-10 pages of information.  I would normally review quickly and save to my file.  On April 1st, I was amazed there had been over 30% more visitors than previous months.  I spent a lot more time reviewing the entire report.  Why was March any better than before?

Sounding Board had the pleasure of sponsoring a very successful workshop on Social Media in early April.  During March, the workshop flyer was sent out to members of all the associations I am a member of, several Sounding Board clients sent it out to their associations.  I forwarded to friends, relatives, colleagues, anyone I knew and a few I didn't know.  Why was March better?  I worked at it.  Dah....

The workshop presenter was Will Paccione, wpaccione@wsinetspecialists.com, and he was great.  I am a 'Will groupie' and love to recommend him.  He developed this website.  He really knows his business and is, as one of the attendees noted, makes the learning easy and inspirational.

A long time friend of mine had a tag line - "To Benefit - Participate".  You have to give to get.  No matter how you say it - if you don't work at it, it won't work.  Keep working at it and enjoy the rewards.
