Do You Have a Social Strategy for Your Blog?

Have you ever heard the saying, “If you build it, they will come?” I’m not sure where this quote actually originated but I do always think of the Kevin Costner movie, Field of Dreams, when he was told by a mysterious voice, “If you build it, he will come,” referring to the baseball field he was supposed to build in order for his late Dad to come play again.

If you build a business, customers won’t just find you and flood your store handing over their money… that’s where advertising comes into play.
