Professional Organizer Calls in The Blog Squad for Wall Street Journal Blog Watch Makeover

Jessica Duquette hates clutter. Her professional organizing services help professionals stay clean so their life flows smoothly.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) June 6, 2006 -- Jessica Duquette hates clutter. Her professional organizing services help professionals stay clean so their life flows smoothly. When her blog at http://www.itsnotaboutyourstuff.com was selected by the quarterly Wall Street Journal blog watch on May 15, 2006, she knew she'd better clean up her own stuff before the onslaught of visitors.

Enter the Blog Squad: the dynamic duo of Patsi Krakoff, Psy. D. and Denise Wakeman. These blogging experts did a quick 'spring cleaning' to get Jessica's business blog ready for the press and WSJ visitors.

"I started my blog a few months ago by following The Blog Squad's ebook instructions found at http://www.buildabetterblogsystem.com. It was literally invaluable! That ebook was my roadmap as well as my inspiration," explained Ms. Duquette, who lives in Los Angeles.

"Up until that point, I had thought about writing a blog, but I had no idea where or how to begin. The information contained in the book was clear, easy to follow and to the point. I got my blog up and running in a few hours, because I was no longer intimidated by the process. I used almost every tip and strategy that was recommended, and I attribute much of the success of my blog's layout to the information in that book," she added.

When she was notified last month that her blog had been chosen by the WSJ blog watch, she knew she better get some help fixing the layout and features of the blog to make sure it was attractive and effective for her visitors. She called in The Blog Squad for an extreme blog makeover.

Jessica and The Blog Squad worked in half-hour telephone sessions to improve the look of the blog and to make sure it was up to her high professional organizing standards. On WSJ day Ms. Duquette checked her traffic stats and monitored the increase in visitors:

"I kept my Site Meter stats page up all day and watched as the numbers grew and grew with each page refresh! Talk about a high!"

"Like Jessica and her 'It's Not About Your Stuff' blog, many professionals simply don't know how to use the features of their blogging software," explains Ms. Wakeman, "So their traffic is stagnant, their content difficult to navigate and they don't convert readers to clients."

Blogging software doesn't require any special tech skills so any professional can put up a business blog and start posting articles. Therein lies the problem: blogging is too easy. Unless the professional knows how to effectively use a blog as a marketing tool for driving traffic and converting readers to clients, it becomes one more chore to do.
