Blogging Session Recap
Great blogging session the other day! The weather was terrible -- yet nearly 50 people showed up for it. (I barely made it myself, the drive from Medina to downtown Cleveland took so long given the road conditions.)
Each of the panelists was able to offer unique insights about business blogging. Some of the highlights were:
RSS makes reading blogs convenient, because you can read many of them in one place. But RSS is not ready to replace email yet, because you still need to prompt people to visit your blog.
Blogs are excellent for establishing high search engine position, because they tend to get a lot of incoming links.
Write about something for which you have passion. Passion for your subject matter always shows through.
Top ways to promote a blog include linkage to/from other blogs, notifying the mainstream media about important posts, and syndicating content by having your content appear on other blogs and sites.
Don't miss the map showing how the Northeast Ohio blogs are networked -- very illuminating.
You can find additional references to the session on Brewed Fresh Daily, Tinbasher, Chat Room LIVE, Small Business CEO, Blog for Business, and Small Business Trends.
