Business TV: Penny Power's rules for being a good blogger

[madbtk]

Thanks, Penny, for the tips.

You really do have to encourage conversation. What's the point in a blog that doesn't? social networking covers so much of the personal stuff that blogging about your day is just a waste of time.

Yep James - SERIOUS = DULL - everyone likes excitement, enthusiasm and charisma.. pity I lack it in some vlogs :)

Cool video, I think any tips for blogging are really helpful, as it is so easy to run out of topics to blog about and end up having extremely boring blogs nobody wants to read...

Like the advice on top tips for writing a blog - there must be so many people out there, who could be doing so much better if they followed these tips.

I agree with Penny...I love the challenge of creating a blog that is creative and interesting and one that will cause debate and discussion. Good advice.

For me interesting is the key word! So many people insist on being boring as soon as it comes time to talk about their business. My personal theory is that it is because they think they need to be serious...

But serious = DULL usually!

I love Penny's collaborative approach. Really refreshing. This is great advice.

I think penny power 3 points are a great guideline to help people with their Blogs.

One I think is really important is that even though you want to create an emotional connection with the readers of your blog you shouldn't be to negative or controversial with your topics. You may get high numbers of readers with juicy topics but they are unlikely to return to your blog, recommend your blog to friends or want to view your profile if you sound like a person they wouldn't want to associate with.

I think Penny's advice was very helpful. I haven't been blogging for that long and listening to this video has given me some great tips to making my blogs interesting and appealing to readers.

Penny makes a great point that this is a different form of communication than was used in the 20th century and the point is that all business people should be embracing these new communication methods to improve their business contacts and to do so in a way that will draw the right type of people to it.

Penny really is a business legend with an infectious passion for what she does, and she's right, blogging is a fabulous way of gathering information and hearing what other people have to say. Great video!

[businesstvAndie]

Penny's advice is perfect for those who are new to the whole concept of blogging. As many of us don't realize, what works and what does not work when we start to blog. It took me a while to figure it out but I reckon it will be easy sailing for those who view this tip and jump into the interesting world of blogging. Kudos to Penny!

I agree with Penny, the best blogs are the ones that encourage you add a comment, especially if you have some expertise in that area
