		<description>Dank u wel, Gerhi...

It is all about relationships isn&#039;t it? And relationships take time and effort... you can&#039;t just &quot;go out and build a bunch of relationships&quot;. Each one is unique and you need to put time and effort into cultivating it. 

Hence, blogging and social media success is &quot;a process not an event.&quot;</description>

		<description>Dear Les,

I think you pretty much nailed it. I would like the emphasise the personal relationships and connection you can gain from your blogging.

You should know who your target audience is but you should write as if you are talking to only one person only. Get your perfect customer in mind and tell him/her how you will solve his/her problem in simple language.

Remember that your blog is a conversation.</description>
