New Tips to Help You Stay Miles Ahead of the Competition

Tips for Winter 2006: Blog Tips

» Write like you mean it. There's nothing more compelling than persuasive, informed writing. The more you focus on what you know, your core areas of competency, the more engaging the final copy will be. Don't worry about emulating a popular voice. Be honest. Be open. Be real.

» Reach out . Don't limit your blogging reach by staying with a small circle of colleagues. Read well written blogs that fall outside of your areas of expertise. Participate in the dialogue. Move beyond the comfortable.

» Be stubborn. If you are blogging to get an instant fan base, stop blogging. If, however, you are interested in writing because you are passionate about the topic, you will eventually get readers. Get past the ego. Try and ask as many fellow bloggers what they like or do not like about your blog, and make improvements.

Good luck!
