about pools at riverpoolsandspas.com

“How do I start a blog? It’s easy. Write the top 20 questions you get as a business owner. How much does a fiberglass pool cost? What’s the difference between a fiberglass pool and a concrete pool? Now you have 20 titles. 20 blog articles. Do it 2 times a week and you’ve got a good blog up and running.”

“The disease of knowledge – everybody suffers from itChange how we think. Put yourself on their level. Write at the level of a kindergartener.They don’t want to know how smart we are they want our knowledge”
