It has in Iowa. A sampling:
- Tim Johnson has books published in multiple languages. He’s been reviewed in The Times…the UK version and is also writing for an international site on Office Politics.
- Claire Celsi is now part of a Global Media Network doing what she loves – analyzing the Democratic political scene.
- Drew McLellan has collaborated on several national and international projects and is a contributing author on MarketingProfs:DailyFix and Small Business Branding
- US Rodeo Supply has seen traffic and sales increase and built a community of loyal customers with SpurNConversations
- Tom Vander Well has found his blogging efforts at QAQnA to be a deal maker with new customers outside of Iowa.
- Art Dinkin was recently interviewed for a major publication in New York. They found him because of his blog. His blog is three weeks young.
- DWebware has been able to show off their knowledge of social media by blogging, in turn helping national organizations to do likewise.
- Adam Steen has had business leaders from coast-to-coast call to pick his brain on networking.
- Sandy Renshaw has worked on projects with clients in several states. Yep – they found her because of her blog.
- Doug Mitchell travels so much, we rarely get to see him anymore.
- Rush Nigut continues to receive calls from clients outside the state for his practice. Ditto for Brett Trout.
- Zane Safrit stopped mainstream advertising (he no longer needs to) and was building a global clientele before I knew how to spell "blog"
That’s just to name a few (okay, several). The list is much longer. Reaching beyond the state boundaries. Generating income in Iowa.
Me? Customers in 14 states and 5 countries, plus speaking engagements. Of course, I can only drive as far as my headlights shine.
