Blogtipping in the New Year

Bt1Blog Tip #1: The Savvy Entrepreneur
Author: Cristina Favreau

Lovin’ it for:

  • Thought provoking posts, especially the Doing Your Best Series
  • Others First thinking, as shown here
  • Cristina’s posts live up to the blog title – Savvy

Tipping it for:

  • Be generous in outbound links to other blogs. If you’re writing a post about "networking events," conduct a quick blog search and find a relevant post (don’t spend more than 5 – 10 minutes on this search). By doing so, some fantastic relationships will be forged – and they’ll help spread your gospel.

Bt2 Blog Tip # 2: n2Growth
Author: Mike Myatt

Lovin’ it for:

  • Smart business advice.
  • Though I’m not a big fan of truncated posts, I am a HUGE fan of the word count and reading time estimates. Nice touch.
  • Myatt on Monday’s question is a good theme and a quality read.

Tippin’ it for:

  • Login/register to comment? I’m not a fan of this one. Open up the comments and watch the conversation grow (if that’s your goal). Also see tip # 1 above.

Bt3Blog Tip # 3: HOW Design
Author(s): The HOW Staff

Lovin’ it for:

  • A great online companion to one of my favorite magazines
  • The Gifts and Goodies category is an imagination ignitor
  • Would love to be able to buy books right from the blog (Oh, that’s a tip I guess…but I do love the books)

Tipping it for:

  • A date-based archive would be great for new readers. Let them catch up with all the goodies chronologically.

As you cruise around these sites, what other tips can you offer?

Find Your Social Media ROI

I hear it from a lot of business owners: “Where is the ROI with all this Social Media?“ If this is a question you ask yourself, maybe we should work together a bit more. We can work together solo, or via a professional learning community. Find and increase your ROI. There is a “there” there.

    Hi Mike,
    Thanks so much for the kudos. I’m having so much fun with my blog and learning a lot on the way.
    Your tip “Be generous in outbound links to other blogs” is what I’m working on this year. As I ramp down my client work (I’m expecting in about 3 weeks) and ramp up my writing projects to keep my business alive during a short mat leave, I’ll be paying more attention to building strong relationships through blogging, that will help me broaden my reach!!
    Thanks again, and I look forward to reading more of your blog tips!!
