Please excuse this post. Just claiming this blog to list under my Technorati account.

As someone who believes in the power of genuine pleasant relationship between businesses and customers, I am amazed at the things I learn along the way regarding this very valuable concept.

“Relationship” is the operative word in Customer Relationship Management. It’s a two-way street. Which led me to believe that Customer Relationship Management go both ways. The customer has a role, too. And today I would like to discuss that with you. Let me start by telling you about an experience I had last week, when I took on the role of the customer needing some support. It gave me a different perspective on building genuine relationships.

The other day, I posted about Yahoo! 360°’s impending shutdown on July 13, 2009.

As a result, if you have a 360° profile like I do, you would have to migrate all your content to the new Yahoo! Profiles.

This means that you need to download all your content from 360° before July 13, 2009. Otherwise, you will lose all your content.

Wow. One of my articles for syndication have been picked up and published on the Valentine’s issue of Sexy Singles Magazine. My article in on pages 27 to 28. I didn’t even know about it.

Yahoo’s attempt at a social networking service, Yahoo! 360, is shutting down on July 13, 2009.

Why Yahoo! 360 Didn’t Work for Me and My Network

Being an early adopter, I signed up for Yahoo! 360 the day it opened its doors to social media junkies. I tried to use the service the best I can, but I have always felt there was something lacking, I just cannot pinpoint what it was. So my updates on my Yahoo! 360 profile were very few and far between.

I tried adding friends to my profile, but even they hardly ever updated theirs. Most of my friends on my Yahoo! Messenger list were added to my profile, but they were all Friendster, Multiply, and Facebook junkies to even notice Yahoo! 360. I guess my friends and I weren’t very impressed with 360.

I do know some people who were very successful in networking with Yahoo! 360, and I know that they’re going to miss the service. It’s not the end of the world for them, though.

Why does this blog exist? My aim for this blog is to give information on how to create valuable content and build genuine connections that will help your business succeed.

Now your next question will probably be, “Why do I need valuable content?”

Well, to have something to put your marketing plan in motion!

Yes, your business needs a marketing plan. It doesn’t matter if you are a small business owner working from home or if you are a large corporation. All businesses need some form of marketing.

Marketing is what will keep your business alive.

Finally got this blog up and running. For now I will be focusing on content, so I will be using a free theme for now instead of making an original one or customizing a free theme.
