Blogs & Spam

September 29, 2010 By Liz Gallagher

Unfortunately, blogs and spam seem to go together.  Whenever you have a form on your web site – such as the comment form on your blog – you are opening yourself up to spam.

Solopreneurs & Social Media Marketing

May 25, 2010 By Liz Gallagher
The many hats worn by an entrepreneur

If you’re a one-person company, you already wear a lot of hats.  you do all of the sales, marketing, networking, operations, billing and bookkeeping.  You may have some help here and there – perhaps from an assistant or a contractor – but for the most part you’re on your own.  And now everywhere you go, social media expectations are thrust upon you.  You feel pressured to “do it all” or else feel like you’re falling behind the competition.  Some entrepreneurs feel so overwhelmed that they don’t know where to start, so they do nothing at all.  Others dive right in only to find they are in over their heads and then they bail out – leaving partial LinkedIn profiles and abandoned Facebook pages in their wake.

Adding a Blog to Your Web Site

February 10, 2010 By Liz Gallagher

As more and more people learn about the power of business blogging and how blog articles can help improve your rank in the search engines, a common request that I am getting these days is to add a blog to an existing web site.

 This very easy to do if your web site has been built on a Content Management System (see last week’s article on Adding Features to your CMS Web Site.)  The blog is a standard module on all content management systems, so all you have to do is install the blog module and start writing.  The blog should automatically take on the look & feel of your web site.

If you’re not on a CMS yet, no worries.  Read More

Blogging for Business

June 3, 2009 By Liz Gallagher

To Blog or Not to Blog: that has been the question for some time now.  Like most people, I have used every excuse in the book:

  • I don’t have time to blog
  • I don’t know what to blog about
  • I’m not interesting enough
  • Who would read my blog?
  • The dog ate my blog

I’m sure there are many people out there who feel the same way.

So why the change or heart?  Well, I’ve finally realized that…

BLOGGING IS GOOD FOR BUSINESS!
