The Scobles’ Top 10 (er, 15)
I had the wonderful privilege of attending ConvergeSouth in Greensboro, NC, this past weekend. Among the many great lessons and stories I have from that weekend, one that I’d like to highlight here comes from the Scobles’ session titled “10 Ways to a Killer Blog.”
Haha … well, we attendees really got over-serviced! Not only did we get to see Robert and Maryam Scoble share the stage and co-present (which believe me, is a HUGE treat in itself!), but they also offered up 15 tips rather than the promised 10. I’m delighted to share them with you here:
- Blog because you want to. Don’t blog because you feel like you should, because everyone else is, or because someone else tells you that you should.
- Read other blogs. (Extra tip: Read 50 blogs for two weeks. Either you’ll feel compelled to join in, or you won’t be a good blogger.)
- Pick a niche you can own. Be different.
