Yes, "Just do it" applies to blogging, as well. Get a voice recorder. I find when I don't use one I always forget a rich detail or an entire point I wanted to make. Too bad we can't walk and write at the same time. I create the most beautiful posts while I'm out huffing and puffing.

I think blogging is one of those things you have to jump in headlong and start - And since you'll have few readers when you start its not so scary while you develop your blog legs (or 'voice') Having said that, I did what you did and wrote up a few ahead of hitting the 'Publish' button that first time while I got into the habit/routine of fitting it into an already full schedule! Have just clicked through to your: '9 Tips that Improved My Blog', which has more excellent pointers for getting your blog rolling! Linda PS I must get a recorder - I often have 'great' ideas when out walking only to find by the time I'm home they've straggled and strayed never to be seen again :( Tue, 07 Sep 2010 05:09:46 -0700 Linda Fairbairn http://globalcopywriting.com/7-tips-for-starting-a-blog/#PageComment_76345 http://globalcopywriting.com/are-you-mixing-the-right-online-marketing-cocktail/#PageComment_76344 That's good advice, Mel. I do think, however, it helps to know where your market is hanging out. And you're right, HubSpot offer fantastic reports. Thanks for stopping by.

Sometimes I also think it's good to have a go at bucking the trend though, esp if you're a small business. For example if the big guys are pumping $$$ into PPC and pushing up the cost per click, then think about how you could creatively spend that budget in order to get equal or more web traffic.

Getting people to your website or blog from the newsletter is often managed in a call to action. Referencing other content on your website in the body of your eNewsletter might just be an easier way to achieve the same thing. Thanks for the suggestion.

I would add include reference if applicable to blog posts. This could be a link to a particular newsletter in your archives within the post.

I've learned a few trick from you along the way. :0) Mon, 30 Aug 2010 23:04:55 -0700 Sarah Mitchell http://globalcopywriting.com/4-ideas-for-getting-more-bang-from-your-enewsletter-buck/#PageComment_76340 http://globalcopywriting.com/4-ideas-for-getting-more-bang-from-your-enewsletter-buck/#PageComment_76339 This sure is the truth, Sarah. Good on you for knowing it, writing it, posting it, emailing it, tweeting it ... :) P.

I think you'll be surprised at how effective they are in getting your thoughts and opinions distributed. I love mine. It was my pleasure to mention PerthWIND. I think it's a great idea and just the sort of public service every local industry needs. Maybe you should syndicate the idea! Thanks for stopping by.

I get very little feedback about it - and don't really expect it either - so your comments are most welcome. By the way, nearly three years after starting to aggregate other people's news, my own business is days away from joining the crowd and having its own feed.
