I actually think some financial institutions and other professionals in the industry would be well off to start a blog, genuinely open up to their consumers, and start to rebuild their shattered relationships.

Ari — excellent point about something else being in the middle. Certainly the emphasis should be addressed to wherever your focus is. I put a blog there because — for me — that’s where it belongs. It could just as easily be something else.

As for your question, people want to get paid for their ideas (obviously), so giving it away for free is kinda counter-intuitive. So then the goal is to demonstrate your thinking without giving away the good ideas. Ain’t that what advertising is all about?

Geoff,

Excellent post. Really hit when I needed it most. Been struggling with this concept, trying to come to the same conclusion for about 2 weeks now… how to better plan / spend time online.

Many thanks, and I agree wholeheartedly with you – being one of the pundits who said that blogging was out since no one had must interesting to say, and having said that Twitter was not going to revolutionize comms.

Your approach of coordinated attack seems to give me a part of an answer i needed.

Thanks

I like your graphic and agree with the basic tone but I have a suggestion and a question.

Suggestion: Depending on the person or organization reading the above, the blog may not be the center but a Facebook page may be, or a website may be, perhaps an email address is. Something is in the middle and everything else are the outposts.

Question: How do you respond to the person or organization who says he or she does not want to provide free information?
