Announcement: Due to my health issues, I will only be writing posts for the Art of Eloquence blog once a month. If you would like more information, tips and free gifts, please subscribe to our twice monthly newsletter. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Have you noticed that some of social media posts will garner tons of "likes," retweets, shares, and comments, but others...well...they just don't? It seemed to me that the ones that are the most important are commonly in the latter group. Frustrated, I looked deeper into this issue and was surprised by what I found. I think you will be too, but it's an important communication lesson for us all in the Technological Age. By the way, I encourage you to read...
