Ten Steps to Starting a Company Blog Blogs are continuing to grow in popularity, and they are no longer merely a way for angst-ridden teenagers to express themselves. Today, progressive companies are communicating with bloggers in their industries—and even creating their own blogs as marketing communications tools.

But that can only happen if you are willing to enter this space after due diligence and with the commitment necessary for your blog to achieve its full potential. These 10 steps will help walk you through that process before you jump into the blogosphere and start setting up your company's blog. Get the full story.

A Note to Readers Strictly for Amusement Maybe because I’m heading to Orlando, Florida, tomorrow to attend the American Marketing Association’s Mplanet event, but this question in the MarketingProfs Know-How Exchange caught my eye. Mattias wants to know how to make an amusement park educational as well as fun. He writes that he’s currently “working on a marketing plan for [an] amusement park, where the educational aspect will be important.” He wants to keep investment and labor costs low, and says that space is limited. I’m fairly certain Mattias’s request is serious – although it does feel like a tall order, doesn’t it? Regardless, if you think you can offer some advice, feel free to weigh in on his question or any of the many others that have been posted of late, including: Survey Timing - December vs. January, Marketing/PR Tips For When You Have No Budget, What Should We Charge To Provide Leads? Check out these and more on the home page of the richest of MarketingProfs resources, the Know-How Exchange. And by the way, be sure to read my coverage of the Mplanet event on the MarketingProfs blog, the Daily Fix. I’ll be covering the event as one of several embedded bloggers. If you are attending, too, be sure to drop me a line or hunt me down in Orlando. Until next week, Ann Handley

Creating Momentum: Guide Site Visitors Forward to the Next Page All too often, Web pages, even homepages, provide readers with a variety of choices, but don't really provide a clear way forward. This is particularly true when a site has multiple products or services to sell.
If visitors read your homepage and become interested in something you are selling or offering, what should they do next? Where should they click? Are they ready to go directly to the order page? Would conversions be higher if visitors first read a full sales page? Get the full story. |

Your Baby's Ugly... and You've Got Bad Breath It takes an incredible amount of intense drive, determination, and a strong ego to breathe life into a business and create products from scratch, but it's also that same ego that won't let a business owner be objective about what their business needs to succeed.
