Sat, 30 Dec 2006 13:08:08 GMTHi Folks
Instead of recording a 'Top 5 Business Articles' Podcast this week, I've decided to simply announce who is my optinion has been the top contributor to BuildYourOwnBusiness over the last year.
Listeners of last week's podcast will know that I've already announced the 5 authors who I believe have contributed the most to the BuildYourOwnBusiness website over the period.
The following business article authors aren't necessarily the top article producers by volume, but they are the authors in my opinion who have taken the time and effort to provide good quality business advice articles on a regular basis. These authors have been building a long-term relationship with readers, in the knowledge that the quality content that they publish will represent their brands extremely well for many years to come.
So many people suffer from Internet myopia. They beleive that all they need are links back to their website in order for them to be succesful online. The reality is however that operating a succesful online business isn't much different to operating a succesful offline business. Both require a good product or service, and both require good customer service. The follwing top 5 business article authors for 2006 recognise this and are in it for the long-term.

Jonathan Farrington ~ Specialist Subject: Sales Management ~ Personal Website: JonathanFarrington.com2nd Place:
