Welcome to my brand new marketing blog!
So, why a marketing blog Jim?
Unlike my website, when you read something HERE, you can share your thoughts, ideas and opinions with your fellow readers and myself. Blogging is about communicating not broadcasting. It’s about 2-way or multi-way communication. It’s about community and connecting with like-minded people.
When you see something here and want to get involved, your fellow readers and myself can respond to your comments and get a conversation going – something that’s just not possible via a traditional broadcast website.
As well as marketing tips and ideas, I will ALSO be using this blog to give you an insight into my day-to-day work. The idea is to pass on anything I think you might find either useful, interesting or both!
So, why not say hello?
I would love to get as many of my website and newsletter readers as possible to leave a comment here in my ‘welcome post’, so please say hello. Let us know your company name and where you are!

Hi there Jim
My name’s Ralph and I am just setting up a new car hire business in Cardiff.
The information you give about selling is brilliant.
Am I alone or does the comment above make absolutely no sense?
Good luck with the new blog, not that you will need it!

Nice to have a neighbour on the blog!

Hello Steve,
Thanks for popping by the blog!
I am not sure I understand what you are referring to, regarding underlines though?
I avoid using them unless they are a hyperlink – as people tend to click on them.
Jim Connolly
Hello Helen,
Thanks for your comment.
No, I’m not sure what Steve was referring to either – I think it might have been something to do with links.

Good luck with the new blog Jim. I havent contacted you previously but beenbeen reading your material for years. I don’t think you are aware how much your work helps other people because i’m sure lots like me never tell you. So today, I did!

Hello Marc,
Thanks for the kind words. I haven’t been to Holland in years, must go back soon!
Hello Tom,
You are very kind. Just so you know, for every 500 people who read my newsletter each week, I get just one email with a ‘thank you’ or comment.
I have a very large following in Malaysia and it’s one of the biggest international markets for my audio program too.
Thanks,
Jim Connolly
Hi Jim,
Well here’s another ‘thank you!’
I recently won a free hour’s consultation with you which was great. I made copious notes during and after the consultation and am slowly but surely implementing the advice you gave me. (I’d be doing it quickly if I wasn’t so busy!)
I also regularly read your newsletters and always find them packed with great ideas.
I think the blog’s a wonderful idea and wish you loads of luck with it.
Best wishes,
