The Business Card to Business Chicago Networking Group wound up the summer with a meeting in my backyard. This is the second time I hosted an outdoor meeting and both were a big success.

The weather was awesome. Even though temperatures brushed near 90 during the day on this end of September day the evening was pleasantly in the low eighties and there was a gentle breeze.

There were seven of us in attendance and we had a lively conversation about search engine optimization (SEO), blogging and content creation. This inspired me to write an article on my company website about repurposing blog posts and how to extend your message. Be sure to check it out.

All of the attendees are experienced entrepreneurs with valuable insight and bona fide expertise in many areas of online and offline marketing and content creation.
