Leslie Hughes
The unofficial version of Leslie…
1. Tell us about yourself and your business.
I love, love and breathe Social Media. When you don’t find me in front of my computer or behind my iPhone, you’ll find me chasing after my son and being stalked by my Wheaton Terrier, Harley.

2. Do you blog for business? Can you describe how you use it?
I absolutely blog for business.
I think it’s essential for a business to be educating and connecting with their prospects and clients.
A blog can act as a business’ online magazine which is updated much more frequently and is more interactive than a static website.
One of the biggest challenges is the time commitment you have to dedicate to creating great content. I use it as a tool to give regular "how-to" tips, or provide my opinion on the latest site I’ve found useful (or dreadful).
3. Do you use SEO or social media in conjunction with your blog?
I don’t strategically use SEO in my business. I absolutely use social media in conjunction.
While Twitter is a micro-blog, it’s been a very useful social media site for me to meet new people and acquire clients.
4. What’s the best blogging advice you’ve ever been given?
Keep at it. Even if you think you’re writing and no one is reading. If you’re sharing great content, people will begin to follow.
