I have a huge favor to ask of you at the end of this blog post, but first, a quick announcement:
In a couple of weeks, CorporateDollar.Org will be relaunched as a totally new blog (lots of very cool stuff coming 
). This metamorphosis is the result of me growing and learning from the many connections I’ve nurtured online and offline.
Birth…
I started writing CorporateDollar.Org when non-profits started asking me how to get corporate sponsors. Hence the blog title.
…old age, sickness and death
How to use selling skills in order to win a corporate sponsor only garnered a few blog posts. People found value in what I was writing, but… I just wasn’t that passionate about the topic.
It was then that I took a very cool blogging course by Chris Garrett called Authority Blogger. In this class, I learned two crucial lessons:
- How to build a successful blog and everything that goes along with that (business plan, understanding one’s market, increasing subscribers).
- How to bring out what is uniquely me into the blog (how to blog passionately for the long run). Chris calls this finding your “hook”.
Corporate what?
Since taking Chris’ class, I’ve focused only on what gets me amped. And the blog has taken off in ways I could have never dreamed of. But still, “CorporateDollar.Org” has confused more than a few folks. I don’t write about Corporates or Dollars.
So, through this continual process of digging in the dirt – and through a lot of feedback from friends, I’ve concluded that this blog can be much more than it is now. It can be huge!
And it needs to be huge for the folks like you who spend precious time reading it each week. Thank you, thank you!
Like I said at the beginning of this post there’s lots of very cool stuff coming. But I want to hear more from you:
