“Blogging is a fad!”
“Only unemployed geeks and teenagers blog!”
“My customers don’t read blogs!”

Have you heard these (and other lies) related to blogging? What is the truth about using blogging for marketing, PR and communication? What makes a blog work, and what successful blogs are out there today?

Whether you are an active blogger trying to convince your company to blog, or someone in the bleachers wondering what Kool-Aid everyone is drinking, you undoubtedly have questions and concerns about blogging.

In this 90-minute virtual seminar, Jeremy Wright will get into the nitty-gritty of blogging. Examining specific case studies, laying out best practices and providing a framework for how blogs can fit into your marketing mix, Jeremy will help you understand not only what blogs are and how they should be used — but also what works, what doesn’t, and why.

You Will Learn

  • Five basic rules for blogging
  • How to start blogging (and how to teach your senior executives to blog)
  • Who should blog ...and who shouldn’t
  • Three key paradigm shifts for any organization looking at blogs
  • What works and what doesn’t — examples of blogs that have succeeded and failed
  • The most common mistakes made by marketers and PR professionals

Who Should Attend
