However, many advisors don't fully grasp the core elements that comprise a successful blogging strategy.

And especially in the regulated environment, it must adhere to specific guidelines. Listeners to the webcast will leave with the knowledge of what works, vital elements to consider and a better of understanding of a successful blogging program," said Gaxiola.
