Hey, everybody! Earlier this year, I began writing this blog with two goals: one was obviously to offer some advice, based on my years of experience advising kids and their parents about college admissions; the other was to increase traffic to my website www.askjohnaboutcollege.com. This week, I am focusing on the second goal, and I'm making a concentrated effort to increase the number of visitors to the website so that they can learn about my work. I'm blasting out on Facebook, Twitter, Linked In, and via email.
It feels strange to me to be this bold in asking for something, but then again, I do believe that often the best way to go about getting what you want is to ask for it. So, I'm asking a favor this time around: please tell two people this week about my blog. That's all. Send them the link, or give them my email address (askjohnaboutcollege@gmail.com.) Thanks.
Also, consider subscribing to the RSS feed. That way, you get the blog updates automatically. And remember you can always post comments or ask questions on anything related to college admissions. My hope is that people find this column a useful resource. I love writing it.
Last thing for today--it's October, so your high school senior should be pretty busy right about now with application materials. Check in. See what your son or daughter needs. If I can help, drop me a line.
That's it for now. Look forward to hearing from you, and thanks for spreading the word.
John
ps. for those of you with kids already in college, what websites are you following to keep up with trends on campus? Would it be helpful if I suggested a few resources for parents in this area, too?
