last try.. what I meant to quote was:

Unfortunately, not even Oprah, nor the best bunch of SEO consultants, can help you decide what your brand message is. We can help iron it out, but you need to know what you stand for and who you are.

This is something that I’ve tried to do, not because its fun, but because its a core requirement and I know that my clients probably don’t want to do it themselves.

My new years resolution, one of them ;) is to put this and some other tasks that must be done by the client into the agreement because without it they can’t grow and develop their audience like they need to.

I think my services provide a great launchpad but they need to be making the decisions instead of allowing me to create one for them, which results in a lack of originality and passion, the key ingredients for raising a new child (communities are like children).

Great post.

Maybe you’ll get more than 10 ReTweets.

I hope you guys have a great Holiday.

Great seeing you at Blogworld. Again.
