Why is your blog whispering? (published on TechnShare 08/25/10)

I agree that it is important that you have a defined call to action in place, especially on the end of each blog post for example – but more important than this, and crucial to the overall success of your CTA (call to action) is your Unique Selling Proposition or USP.

It used to be called writers block, but I think that Blogger’s Cramp is slightly more fitting.
