    There is an insightful post at Business and Blogging that I’d like to share with you:

    Friday Fun: Business Blogging Epiphany

    One that particularly stands out is the shift that occurred when I realized that perhaps even more important than knowing the right answers, is knowing the right questions to ask.

    This holds true in business blogging as well. Many professionals who start a blog feel pressured to exhibit their expertise and provide well-reasoned answers to all of their readers needs.

    While it is important to provide some answers, it is also important to remember that the best blogs build a sense of community and engagement.

    They enable the blogger to learn about his or her readers as much as for the readers to learn about the blogger.

    What questions could you ask your readers that will get them engaged in your blog?

    What thought provoking topic can you raise?

    What opinions can you solicit?

    What knowledge could you gain that would help you build a better business and a better blog?

    So for you dear readers, what are your questions for me?

    • What if I told you that I was thinking of changing things up a little around here?
    • What if I stopped posting on the non-productivity and workflow topics that I am interested in and put those articles somewhere else?
    • What would you most like to see here? (something that you would share with your friends and colleagues)

    Please let me know in the Comments, and together we will make it happen!

    If you found this post useful, please share it with your friends on Twitter using the tinylink http://tinyurl.com/6e7scv. Thanks, I appreciate it! Feel free to comment below, I enjoy discussing these ideas. ~@Stephen
