He’ll also brief you on why and how blogging should become an essential part of your online game and strategy.

As Emil asks, do you fully understand and maximise the effectiveness of social media? With that in mind, listening in to today’s show, Emil’s expert advice will help take your online and social media game to the next level. I Learned so much sitting down chatting to Emil and I know you will too!
