Want to try a blog post?

Something that I’ve realised, very quickly, now that I’m getting out and about more with this offline networking business, is that there are a lot of people who would like to just dip their toe in the water to see if blogging is for them – from a business strategy point of view as well as whether they can actually write in a style that will be read. One excellent initiative in March was the Be My Guest month organised by Emily Cagle and Adam Vincenzini. This, together with people recently met, has inspired this idea for those of you unfamilar with blogging – working with you if you want to explore this blogging lark…

As well as the Blogmistress, I manage a number of other blog sites – including Kent View – for general Kentish posts, and the new Kent Business Buzz – a blogging site along the lines of the popular Birds on the Blog and Blokes on the Blog (the latter I now edit, so another potential avenue – guest posts welcome for both Birds and the Blokes).

Many people have a vague idea about blogging, and some of you can see that this could be a great way to add good content to your website, but you don’t really know where to start or whether it will be good for you. So, just for you, now you can try it out…

If you fancy a go at a blog post, let me know by email to hello@blogmistress.com or by commenting below. Your blog post only needs to be between 250 and 500 words – and you can include an image if appropriate (or I’ll find one for you). I’d then suggest anything more to consider, optimise it so that Google likes it more, and then schedule to post your blog on a relevant site. Very simple – and even if you’re not sure what to blog about – I can offer some suggestions for that too…

So – form an orderly queue and let’s see what blogging can do for you!
