Would you like to learn how blogs aren't scary?

Live Teleseminar on Thursday 14 May

• Have you been thinking about setting up a blog recently,
but you have been putting it off?

• Do you want to know how a blog can help your business?

• Do you already have a blog,
but want to know some tips to improve it?

"I have been reading with interest the latest posts and Alice has been giving plenty of practical and helpful advice re blogging.

So, firstly I would like to say a massive "Thank you" to Alice for all her time and efforts.

I would also like to encourage everyone who is interested in blogging to join the Business Blogging group that Alice has created. With more members I am sure that it will be extremely useful to our various businesses.

Best wishes to you all and happy blogging!! Kirsty"

Would having a blog help you market
your business better?

Hi, I'm Alice Elliott, and my business Design Your Marketing
is all about making your business more attractive to
customers, which includes making your businesses more
visual and exposing its information to a larger audience.

Sometimes just having a website is not enough – you need
to have somewhere where you can express yourself, providing
on-going news about your business, educate your customers,
promote new events or products – all in an environment that is
publicly seen throughout the net.

A ‘brochure style’ website is far more difficult to update, needs
the use of a webmaster and is seldom visited by the internet
spiders. It’s a space on the web that just sits there, looking pretty,
but doesn’t encourage interaction from your customers.

Hi Alice, I just wanted to say a big thank you to you for your very helpful advice on blogging, I have just started my blog and was really unsure of the how to's etc. I will definitely be making it a part of my daily routine.

Again thanks for your honesty and very practical advice, Julz

So what is different about a blog?

A blog is self-editing, thrives on regular input and spiders visit blogs hourly.

It also uses applications to spread your word around the web easily,
efficiently and automatically.

It encourages and succeeds on feedback and input from your readers,
and can also be used as an archive for your articles and other information,
as each post is allocated its individual URL.

The free software provided by the blogging platform is
excellent for search engine optimisation, too.

So if you are interested in finding out more about blogs,
then join me live for an hour’s teleseminar class on blogging
(or if you can’t make the day a recording will be available).

In this live teleseminar you will discover how to:

• publicise your business to a wider audience

• increase your expert status

• let customers check you out before they buy

• bring more traffic to your website

• interact with potential customers

• provide an archive for your newsletter material

• work better with search engine optimisation

• help link you to social networking sites

But above all I want you to realise that blogs
aren't difficult technology to master, and
that everybody can and should have one!

Hi Alice, thank-you for explaining it a little better.

For the many of us who are IT challenged, the cyperspace can be a daunting place to be. I look forward to more cyperspace conversations with you.

Kind regards, Kerry

Part of what I am doing at the moment is creating a series of
packages on blogging called 'How to Beautify your Blog',
of which details are on new blogsite www.designyourmarketing.co.uk.
I'm very keen that more businesses should be introduced
to the world of blogs and find out how useful they are.

Hence why I'm giving this seminar to show and encourage you to
look at blogs in a new light and to understand their benefits.

Even if you've already got a blog it's always nice to learn about
new tips that you could make to improve it.

Hi Alice, the information that you have passed on is fantastic.
I will be going to your website now to save it as a favourite.

I understand what you mean about making blogs in smaller chunks – it might also mean that I get around to doing it better and more often!

Thank you for your friendly and constructive advice, Kirsty

I will reassure you how unscary blogs are, and there will be a chance
for those on the call to ask questions and provide their own opinions.

Thanks for a great post Alice.

I have a blog and until late last year was posting regularly and using the blog to help get myself out there, but since Jan 2009 have been so busy I let it slide and have not done anything with the blog. Very slack considering the exposure it can bring.

Your post reminded me how important a tool blogging can be and I have started posting again, thanks for the timely reminder and I will have to drop in and look at your group.

And begin your journey to blogging success!

Oh thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly, I'm so glad everything is OK. I was thinking that I had done something wrong since the search engines weren't picking up on it.

As for the categories and tags, sounds really good, and I did try to find where to put them but couldn't see anywhere they could go. It looks like I've got a lot more research to do.

Thanks again, Jan

Thank you, I look forward to hearing you on my teleseminar!
