We’ve all read heaps of articles why blogging is good for business. So, let me ask the 1600 odd members of JobShuk why they prefer not to use this valuable source of advertising. FREE. Is business that good?<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

NOT LIKELY!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

We’ll all miss Yoni’s regular submissions. In fact, Yoni held this column together. In the years he blogged and blogged and blogged, no less than 157 306 people read his missives. That’s impressive stuff.<\/font><\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at some of the other facts. In the months of April and May this year just 28 blogs were posted on JobShuk. One every two days. Enough to make Zvi Landsman cry. Here’s a guy who has created a platform for building business in Israel which can be used free-of-charge. And nobody wants to use the facility.<\/font><\/p>\n

O.K. There are a few exceptions, but not many.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

I think Zvi deserves some answers. For starters, I’m a culprit. Since joining JobShuk I’ve posted some 50 articles, but nothing since April 2011. The reason? An average of only 39 people viewed my submissions.  Clearly, I wasn’t writing what people wanted to read.<\/font><\/p>\n

This column can do a lot for building business in Israel. But it needs to be used, to be cultivated and read. The style of writing must be creative and have genuine appeal. The content highly entertaining, provocative or anything else which attracts readers.<\/font><\/p>\n

Yoni had a unique style of writing. It was his own private domain and was impossible to copy. His individualism built ultimate success after early disappointment.<\/font><\/p>\n

So, here’s the challenge. Who’s going to pick up the baton and keep the column alive and well. Give Zvi a break. Show him you care and if you want to make a contribution to this rather blunt challenge, add a comment. I’ll respond to every remark.<\/font><\/p>\n
