Hey, something struck me while I was reading this review. I understand the purpose of sponsored reviews and overall I am cool with it, but I have to say, if I were the owner of QuickSprout.com I think I would be a bit miffed.

While the overall verdict was positive, the actual review is very, very short and the majority of it doesn’t even talk about the blog itself. I dunno…maybe in the end it works because I am sure QuickSprout will get slammed because it showed up on this blog at all.

Just my thoughts. As you guys know, I love this blog so I am not really coming down on you. I just think that if I am a paying customer, I would want a review that went into some detail about what I was paying you to review.

After reading this i visited Quicksprout and am enjoying reading through the posts which are all high quality and offer some real insights into better personal branding. The first 7 days of branding is a great place to start, quote of the day for me is: “Branding is about perceived value. The more we know a brand and the qualities associated with it will affect how much we are willing to pay to get the brand’s products or services.” Personal branding i think is very overlooked but it is essentially what will set you apart from your competitors and help you to be seen as an expert in you chosen field.

Thanks for thinking of me, and for the mention.

Sweet blog design BTW. I love the big feel of it.
