Dear lovely readers of the Easy to Love but Hard to Raise blog,
I’ve agreed to be part of a survey through WEGO health, a social media company for ‘health activists.’ Up until recently, their focus has been on people suffering from and dealing with a number of health-related concerns, but they are trying to now include health caregivers in their activist community, which is certainly what you and I are as parents of children who are easy to love, but hard to raise.
Under this note you’ll find the snappy intro letter from WEGO health. Read it, don’t read it, participate in their site or not. But please DO participate in the survey they’ve set up for us. I really do want to know what you think about our blog!
Thanks,
Adrienne

I wanted to share this new project I’m working on with WEGO Health to learn more about my blog and about all of you who read it!
First some background: For those of you who aren’t familiar with WEGO Health, they’re a different kind of social media company focused on helping Health Activists – folks like me who use the internet and social media to connect with others around health topics. WEGO Health’s mission is to empower Health Activists to help others, and they offer Health Activists the chance to get involved with video through WEGOHealth.tv, to learn and connect through webinars and chats, and to gain a voice in the healthcare industry through insight panels and the Health Activist Speakers Bureau.
Now WEGO Health is launching the Reader Insight Program – helping Health Bloggers like me to gather feedback from their readers, while telling you a bit about yourself. At the same time, WEGO Health has a chance to see if any of you are Health Activists eligible for their programs. I know many of you out there are as dedicated sharing health info and I have a feeling you’re Health Activists too!
I agreed to try the Reader Insight Program because I’m excited to learn more about why you visit my blog and how I can make it even more valuable for you. I hope you’ll take a moment to share your thoughts with me by taking WEGO Health’s Quick Quiz (http://www.wegohealth.com/quick_quiz?source=easytolove&actigrader=2). By taking the quiz, you’ll help me learn what you need – and you’ll also receive customized social media tips for yourself!
A few things to know about the program:
- WEGO Health will gather your quiz responses and feedback for 2 weeks starting today. After the 2 weeks are up, they’ll create a Reader Insight Report for me (then I’ll share it with you!)
- Your responses will be shared with me anonymously – please be candid!
- Your information will not be shared or sold by WEGO Health
- Thank you for helping me make my blog even more engaging! I can’t wait to see you what you think!
