Subject: thank you for blogging

 

just want to say thank you for blogging.

 

as a sole practitioner, i have a few cpa friends with whom to reflect.  still, this is the 2nd time

that i've taken the privilege of using your [written] blog responses to prove a tax point.

i know this uses time, and your time has a serious value, so it's only proper to say thank you.

 

sincerely,

My Reply:

I'm glad to see that you have been finding my postings useful.  Feedback such as yours is very nice to receive.

Please feel free to pass along any issues you would like to see discussed, including a "guest column" if there is something that you would like to say that I may not have covered as completely as may be needed.

I would also be glad to pass along any tips on producing a blog in case you would like to give it a try on your own.  I have learned a lot though trial and error and continue to learn new things every day about this extremely effective medium.  For any practitioner building a practice, a blog seems to be a very effective way to put yourself out there.  It is definitely less time consuming than  than the ways I used to build up my firms here in Arkansas an back in the Bay Area, traveling all around giving speeches and seminars. 

Blogging does take a bit of time; but is still much faster than podcasting, which is the next medium I am looking into.

Good luck.
