Greetings – how are you? I’m good, but I’ve been a tad pre-occupied this last month – work at first and then a sort of semi-holiday – all good, but I’ve neglected my own blogging again… So, I’m keeping this post short… just want to let you know what’s been going on work-wise and what’s coming up…
Recent Business Bloggers’ Blogs
I can barely believe it’s been over a month since our last post! I see I’ve started a few posts along the way, but they’re still languishing unpublished in my Typepad account. To break the silence, I’m simply going to plug just a couple of business blogs which have recently had the Business Blog Angel [...]
5 Good Reasons To Link Out In Your Business Blog Posts
I’ve got a post coming up in the ‘Showing Off Your Content’ series on how to format links, but before we get on to the how it’s maybe worth spending a few minutes on the why. I know a lot of people feel awkward about linking out when they first start to blog. And at [...]
How To Make A Bigger Bang From Your Blogging Buck
So you put all that time and effort into thinking up fresh content, weaving in your keywords, crafting a killer headline and then poof! it’s yesterday’s news. Before you know it it’s time to reach for your blogging-brilliant thinking hat again and draft another post… Except it doesn’t need to be like that (which is [...]
What are your business blogging goals for 2008?
Although January can sometimes feel like a slow month, it’s also a time when our thoughts naturally turn to our goals, dreams and ambitions for the year ahead, to the things we resolve to do or intend to set out and make happen. I know that we’ve all got our own ways of thinking about [...]
5 blogging mistakes that are so last year
Prologue: We don’t claim to be blogging saints round here (though Claire is, of course, a blogging angel). Although this post was drafted a little while ago we couldn’t post it until we’d done a little bit of blog housekeeping ourselves… Well one thing we do believe in is [...]
Holiday Greetings from Business Blog Angel
Hi there… yes, it’s me, Claire… Since Joanna joined the team a couple of months back, I’ve been pretty elusive here on the blog… well, she does such a brilliant job, doesn’t she?… but it’s that time again, so I’ve dropped in to say a huge, big Happy Holidays to all you wonderful readers, clients, [...]
Are you watching your widgets? Blogging lessons from Blogrush
"The fastest and easiest way to instantly drive a flood of targeted visitors to your blog… absolutely free". That was the promise from Blogrush when they launched their new service a month ago and a lot of bloggers beat an early path to their door – partly I guess because of the hype that’s created [...]
Music on your business blog/site – good or bad?
Remember the conversation we were having back in March – Instant Audio – Love it or hate it? I was basically saying it was ‘a bad thing’ and that I back out of any sites that do that. Business blog/site owners need to consider that – particularly if they are seeking to build relationships and [...]
Business blogging and SEO
One of my clients emailed me the other day about SEO in relation to her business blog… I will give her a more comprehensive answer by email, but this conversation over on Mike Sansone’s ConverStations echoes a lot of my thoughts on the matter, as far as business blogging is concerned at least. I do [...]
