The Art of {Business} Blogging

Penny Power, founder of social business network Ecademy, shares some pointers on the art of blogging in this video:


Main takeaways:

  • Blogging [for your business] shouldn't be something scary. (For me, it's more of an adventure, because I get to meet a lot of different people and learn a lot of new things. After you've crossed the first hurdle—that is, starting a business blog—the fun starts.)
  • The main point of blogging: building friendships [and relationships].
  • Your business blog shouldn’t be a “blogvert”—containing only your marketing messages and your advertising stuff. Share something that’s fun, interesting to read, or something that increases your reader's know-how and skills.
  • Make sure that your blog reflects who you are—professional, open-minded and fun. It's also to your company's advantage if your blog is professionally produced.
  • Even if you’re sharing something fun, your audience should learn from it.
  • The best business blogger is someone who knows how to encourage the sharing of ideas and expertise in the blog.
  • Three things to remember about your business blog: it must be interesting to people, there’s a great person behind it, and it engages readers and encourages them to connect.
