Closing Down the Blog - 05/31/07 04:53 PM
Hi Everyone,
When I first joined the BoomerWomenSpeak forums last winter, many of you were interested to learn that I was sponsored for a blog called Between Us that was created to help generate awareness for a product called SofTouch personal lubricant--and you wanted to know more about what it is like to work as a paid blogger, and how to get that kind of work.
Because of all your initial interest, I thought that I would share the latest chapter of my experience.
The company that sponsors the Between Us blog has decided to make the blog inactive--effective immediately. All past posts and comments will remain up so that readers can continue to enjoy and learn from them--but from here on out there will be no new posts written.
Bottom line: The blog was a year-long marketing experiment that just didn't generate the level of awareness we wanted.
There is a (very) slight chance that Between Us will come back this fall, but it looks like the blog may have run its course.
Also, a few of you--Casey Dawes, for one--contributed greatly to the Between Us blog by either agreeing to be interviewed for a post or by simply offering me friendly advice and direction. Thank you so much.
Here's wishing everyone at boomerwomenspeak a spectacular summer. I am going to remain a part of the community, so I'll continue to chime in from time to time on the forums. (But I will need to change my "signature" since I'm no longer representing SofTouch or its Between Us blog).
Blessings to everyone!
