Ready…Set…Go!

At first I thought “My First Blog Post” would be an appropriate headline here. After all, this is my first post.

But that headline is just a bit too trite – especially for a copywriter. In fact, a Google search of that headline (in quotes) comes up with tens of thousands of listings. And I’m sure many of those blogs have been abandoned by now.

You see, lots of blog start out with good intentions, but there’s a constant pressure to post interesting material – especially for bloggers who update their sites every day.

I won’t be posting every day. About once or twice a week is more my speed. Quality, after all, is more important to me than quantity.

The major topic of this blog is marketing and communications. I know that’s a vast area to cover, but my interests in this subject are wide and diverse. Specific areas I plan to write about include marketing, communications, advertising, copywriting, direct mail, email, Web design, and probably many other ancilliary topics I haven’t even thought of yet.

This first post kind of reminds me of the first day of school each semester. There wasn’t much planned except for meeting your new teachers and getting an overview of how they planned to run their classes. Real learning began on the second day.

So get ready for my second post. That will give you a better idea of what you can expect from this blog.
