Efficient Tips for Corporate Blogging Success

Media_httpinspiration_sflmi

Corporate blogging is vastly different from the usual concept of ‘personal’ blogging. According to Wikipedia, “a corporate blog is published and used by an organization to reach its organizational goals”. Thus, corporate blogs are of two kinds – internal blogs and external blogs.

The internal blogs are meant for its employees and management. Whatever happens within it is not revealed outside. External blogs are public blogs where a team is usually assigned to communicate with the outside world, that is, their targeted consumer base. Amazon, Facebook, Delta Airlines, Red Cross, BMW and Starbucks have some of the best corporate blogs. You can read about them and more here.

If you’re a freelancer and you have a blog, you’re probably hoping your posts will impress clients and get them to hire you.

Unfortunately, most freelancer blogs don’t get so much as a nibble, much less a steady stream of clients.

Media_httpmedia02hong_cwbcp

10 Tips to Help Bloggers Write Better

Media_httpmedia02hong_jyxtj

There are lots of ways you can create your blog, and the beauty of the process is that you are allowed to be as creative and original as you like. You can follow the guidelines and rules of others but there is nothing stopping you from trying something new and running with it.

Just because other blog posts are 500 words does not mean you cannot create one that is 2000 words. Just because other blogs have one picture does not mean you cannot add 12 pictures and turn the blog into a comic book style.

Your freedom from restriction is what makes blogging so fun. Here are some tips for blogging, but they are not rules (and even if they were, you should still break them at your discretion).

10 Fundamentals of Good Freelancer Blog Posts

Media_httpfreelancesw_xgbxw

Nearly every freelancer I meet seems to be starting a blog, or at least thinking about it.

But there’s a problem: Many freelancers tell me they’re posting like mad on their blog…but nothing’s happening.

No comments. No shares on Twitter or Facebook.

Even worse, no client nibbles, and especially, no firm new clients.

Blogs are a big time investment. So if you’re blogging away and not getting results, that’s not good. If you can’t get the hang of this, you might want to consider spending your marketing time another way.

But first, let’s see if we can fix this and get your blog some traction by focusing on improving your fundamentals.

How to Write for Quantity AND Quality

Media_httpinspiration_hglft

If you’re using blogging or article writing to make money–whether you’re writing to get paid for the writing itself or whether you’re writing as part of your social media marketing strategy–then you know that you need to churn out lots of words and lots of pieces.

The problem here, it likely goes without saying, is that when it comes to writing haste makes waste. Even the coldest writing is still a creative endeavor and creative thoughts and expressions must simmer or marinate before being served to others. Nevertheless, the demands of creativity don’t negate the fact that time is of the essence.

The Reality of Creative Writing

Media_httpwwwedesignt_goxat

Many people dream of earning a living as a writer. The thought of spending their working hours earnestly sipping a latté at the local coffee shop while typing out their masterpiece, or secluding themselves in a mountain retreat to create volumes of soulful poetry can sound very appealing. The reality, however, is not quite as enchanting. If you want creative writing to be your career, here are a few things you should know.

Now John McAfee Is Writing an Insane Blog While He's in Jail

Media_httpimggawkeras_ffrhg

The John McAfee circus came to a head last night when McAfee was finally arrested in Guatemala. Except uh, now he's blogging from a computer the Guatemalan police gave him in his jail cell.

Here's how the first prison-based post starts:

I am in jail in Guatemala. Vastly superior to Belize jails. I asked for a computer and one magically appeared. The coffee is also excellent.

Inspirations and writing: How to overcome the “writer´s block”

Media_httpwebtoolfeed_wwtsu

As a freelance writer and blog write it is not always easy to get new ideas for articles and posts every day. It is like a swing: there are days in which your brain is a volcano of ideas; you get excited about so many topics and angles that you cannot keep track of them. And then there are those bad days where… well, you stare at your black Word page and nothing comes out; your inspiration and motivation just abandon you and nothing happens.

I am sure all of us have, at least once, experienced this hopeless and frustrating situation. Unfortunately there are deadlines and personal pressure to make such misdeed even worse!

Are you supporting your blogging community? You should

Media_httpcdntechicom_brobm

As a blogger you strive to get your written words distributed on as many blog sites as you can, especially if you are looking to have your name publicized and associated with certain niches, communities and subjects. You already know that remaining “stale” or “stagnant” is not an option as a writer; in fact they just might be two of the most despised words within the blogosphere. Although you need to spend a lot of time learning and finding sources to promote you (if you are a serious writer), after finding a blog that will publish your words of art, then is the moment it should become about them.

Live-blogging technology helps conquer the world in real time

Media_httpbetaimagest_rqdrh

During the Egyptian uprising of early 2011, the government of then-president Hosni Mubarak attempted to stymie Qatar-based network Al Jazeera’s coverage of the story by disrupting its signal and detaining its journalists.

Canadian-designed technology, however, helped Al Jazeera break through the censorship. ScribbleLive’s live-blogging software allowed reporters to phone in updates and have them published instantly online.

Media_httpwwwandysowa_mfhmq

The idea of business blogging is not revolutionary—many businesses have active blogs. Unfortunately, not many business blog with purpose. Having a business blog is not like having a personal blog; when you decided to start a business blog you need to keep the bottom line of your business front and center. If you’re not ready to blog with your bottom line in mind, then you aren’t ready to have a business blog, and should probably just stick to personal blogging.
