Northbound Contributing Author: My Latest Blogging Gig
May 7th 2010 06:27
My First Northbound Post Is Live
My post, Magento E-commerce: Why Open Source Is the Best Solution, is up at Northbound Interactive Marketing Blog. I'll be posting there once a week, sharing SEO, branding, marketing, technology, and design info and research to help you optimize your website or blog, improve your marketing methods, and make the most of your professional brand.
A Few Words About Straight North
Northbound is owned by Straight North, a top-ranking Chicago Internet marketing firm, which specializes in creative branding and design, SEO, PPC, website and e-commerce development, and other areas of strategic marketing.
The company recently hired my blogging friend and colleague, Brad Shorr, already well-known for his blogging at Word Sell. Brad has assumed the duties of Director of Content Marketing at Straight North and, in addition to continuing his blogging at Word Sell, is the main blogging voice behind Northbound. Because his new job keeps him so busy these days, however, he's asked me to help out by contributing one post a week to Northbound, in addition to the posts he's already commissioned me to write for Word Sell, and I was more than happy to accept the offer.
A Few Words About Brad's Work
I'm very honored to be asked on board by Brad, a blogger and businessman I've always admired. Brad is an excellent writer, accomplished social media expert, and incredibly savvy businessman. If you haven't been reading his content, you're definitely missing out! So, visit Northbound and Word Sell as often as you can. After reading Brad's insightful posts, you'll definitely come away with knowledge you can use to further your writing craft, grow your business, and develop your brand.
A Terrific Team-Up
As many of you know, Brad and I have worked together before, co-blogging at The Whoa Factor, the business blog he penned for Whoast, Inc. before the company merged with Straight North about a year ago. Now, SN has revived the blog, complete with a new name, new theme, new domain, and lots of brand new content. (They've also retained the solid collection of archived posts from the Whoa Factor days to keep readers busy and benefiting from all the helpful insight and info Brad has been penning at TWF/Northbound since 2006, and the work I contributed to TWF between December, 2008, and June, 2009.)
Stop by NB and Take a Look Around
I hope you'll stop by Northbound, read my post (at the link in the first paragraph), and take a look around. Be sure to check out Brad's excellent content, as well.You'll learn a lot--and there's certainly much more to come, as Straight North continues developing the blog and making it even better!
See you at Northbound!
