71% say lack of time is key obstacle to a business blog

blogwrite_2.gif That’s according to a survey conducted through WordBiz Report (delivered to 13,000-plus subscribers). In addition, 45% of respondents say they are unsure of what to write about. 18% question if the content needs to be edited or pre-approved. 15% wonder who would be responsible for the content. In response to these concerns - and others - I’m offering a BlogWrite teleseminar on Wednesday October 20, 2004 from 1:00 - 2:15 PM Eastern. Dial in (or order the audio CD) to find out how writing a business blog can be quicker and easier than publishing an e-newsletter…

and yet equally effective in generating leads and building a relationship with your target audience.

We’ll also cover:

- how you can minimize the time it takes to maintain a blog

- How to handle the editing or pre-approval process your organization might insist on

- How to develop editorial guidelines and a corporate blogging policy

- How to convince a skeptical boss that blogging is effective and can have a measurable ROI

- who in your company or organization should be blogging

- what writing style and “voice” are appropriate for your blog

- defining an audience for your blog from the media and analysts to prospects and current customers

- what topics will most engage your audience

- how you can measure the return on your blogging efforts

- how a blog fits in with - or replaces - an e-newsletter

Again, the details…
