What to Say and What not to Say.
Posted on 11. Oct, 2010 by admin in Business Goals
Tip 1 – Before you start blogging, make yourself aware of some of the unwritten rules of blogging. This will save you time later. There are certain copyright laws that you need to know about and they should be researched before you start blogging about anything.
Tip 2 – Remember anything you say on a business blog could end up on Google, so choose your words wisely. If you don’t want it showing up here, then you shouldn’t say it. You cannot password protect a business blog because that would be counterproductive so think about it before you say it.
Tip 3 – Another thing bloggers may not think about is the responsibility they have to make sure the sources they use are cited. The links should be there which is one way of protecting yourself from a lawsuit. Cover your back and you will not have to worry about this or negative publicity or fines.
Tip 4 – Answer the questions and comments of readers. This will show them you are listening and reading what they are posting. A business is often portrayed as being impersonal and by answering questions and comments you can show them your business is interested in what they have to say. It will also keep them from feeling as though they are being ignored.
Tip 5 – Not only will you benefit from showing the Internet community that you business is not an impersonal one, but some of the best ideas and solutions have come form the consumer who is purchasing the service or product your business blog represents. Many times businesses have gotten great ideas from the very people that buy their product.
