Recently at our Networking Tea Parties we have been discussing the importance of creating and maintaining a business blog. Several Start Up Princesses are creating them right now and so, I hope the following article/link is helpful. Those of you who are like me, relatively new to the game, you might find this info also helpful. One point I liked that she made was to make sure that you provide introductions to your blog. I have been doing this because I wanted to alert people that I wrote about them on the site and to have them see what I wrote, etc. This has been helpful. For example, Paul Allen suggested that I meet Shawn Nelson, LoveSac Founder. After I had written about our meeting, I alerted Paul and he was generous to put a link about it on his site and it brought over 600 views to the site. If I had not told Paul, I would have missed an incredible opportunity.

I emailed Jory and told her about last week’s post about her article, Blogging for Beginners and also included a list of questions. Jory replied quickly and was happy to answer many of them and said I could contact her with more of my questions after her honeymoon (she’s getting married this weekenend)! I’m delighted that even though she’s knee-deep in wedding planning she took a moment to reply and extend friendly mentoring. What a great Fairy Godmother she is! [...]
