Today I thought I’d use a “show and tell” example for our topic, “Content and Consistency.”  You see… it’s fine to tell you how to do something, but there’s something a little more fun that happens when we actually experience a live example.

My example involves recycling content AND generating traffic.  Now… this also relates to our inspiration today of efficiency and effectiveness.  We want to have effective content and we want to be efficient!  After all, we’re small business owners we aren’t in the content generation business, we just want to benefit from content.

Ready???  (I printed in plum so you the post would stand out)
