I cheat by quoting what you say and telling people to go read your blog. Which I guess is counter-productive, BUT. Ramen noodles are on sale this week.

Solid tips. My problem is keeping my blog current (it’s sadly fallen into a prolonged vacation) as I manage and create content for client blogs.

In reply to your previous blog post on doing Social Media in 15 -60 minutes a day, mentioned what works for busy people who want to create in-house written, high quality, market relevant blog content efficiently on the fly.

So now another few thoughts…relate that content to trending topics and trending keywords so that you get SEO mileage out of the blog post. You might source the trending topics real time from Twitter or use Google Alerts (or an alternative) with an RSS feed by email so you get current search topics.

Gentry & Chad, I think that writing in that more transparent way gets easier the more you do it. It took me a couple of years of writing our newsletter before I really got the voice that I wanted (and that people respond to). It’s one of those things like riding a bike that you can’t learn how to do without really getting yourself out there and doing it.

I recently started my own blog at http://www.bradfarris.com to give myself MORE practice.

In the words of Ms. Frizzle, “Take Chances, Get messy, make mistakes!”

Starting a blog has been on my task list for a very long time. I have to admit I have completed the other tasks of listening, reading and learning so I guess I need to jump into writing! Since I love to engage with people I should be ready to start a blog.
Thank you for your helpful tips.

Dan – GREAT tip! As an Illinois resident who is accustomed to narcissism in our politicians, I love the idea of leaving your ego at the door.

Tom – LOVE YOU!

“It’s not hard to let your personality shine through writing.” It’s not for you Gini, you shine, naturally, in any way you choose to communicate, principally your voice. Looking forward to the “Return of Gini” on Vistage webinar part 2.
