Your Blogging Territories
My friend, student and Literacy Coach, Angela Maiers, uses a technique with young writers on examining their Writing Territories. Three columns of discovery: WHAT I WRITE ABOUT, WHO I WRITE TO, and WHY I WRITE.
As I watched her demonstrate this in a workshop, it struck me how this exercise can be used with business blogging to help provide a compass. I've already begun using Blogging Territories in coaching sessions.
As an example, and being the blogger I want my bloggers to become, here are my Blogging Territories:
| WHAT | WHO | WHY |
| Blogging Conversations Community RSS Feeds Social Media Leadership Marketing Blog Software Writing Inspiration Customer Service Web Tools |
Business Owners Educators Consultants Bloggers Salespeople Writers Colleagues Strangers Family Friends Search Engines (not!) |
Teach Share Learn Think Aloud Test Ideas Inspire Ignite Conversation Give Examples Compel Action Introduce People Marketing |
Take some time and write out your "blogging territories" -- a great way to compass your blog writing.
