As it’s the beginning of August, here on the b5media Business Channel each of us is riffing on some or other aspect of the meaning of “small a” august.
Incidentally, this word is just one example of the challenge for people whose first language is not English, in learning how to pronounce English words: the month […]
Brian Clark at Copyblogger has written a great post.
If you are a regular reader of Copyblogger, you will probably think “so what else is new?”
This guy keeps coming up with such amazing content, I never cease to wonder how he does it. Sheer talent plus hard work, no doubt.
Back to the post, which is about […]
Academic year calendars vary considerably around the world. In the USA it’s now graduation time, which has provided a blogging point of reference for the community of bloggers here on the b5media Business Channel.
Hence my post yesterday on new beginnings in the business blogging context.
On Interview Chatter, fellow Business Channel blogger Darlene McDaniel has an […]
In the first post of this short series on monetizing your blog, one of the distinctions I mentioned was between direct and indirect income:
On direct vs. indirect income, many blog posts about monetizing blogs, or even whole blogs dedicated to the subject, are focused on direct income, such as from advertising.
But how to do it […]
As well as the new month bringing six new blogs to the b5media Business channel, there is a new look which I believe makes this blog easier to read, especially in terms of links.
Something about the previous design meant that, at least on my screen, the in-text links were not easy to see, except when […]
What if a business person could have a place on the Web where there was a collection of blogs which were:
- focused consistently on business issues
- informative and even entertaining
- written professionally
- by bloggers respected by their peers
- updated regularly and at least several times a week?
You’ve read my mind.
It’s here, at the business channel […]
One of the key distinctions about blogging that I endeavour to communicate to business people is to see their blog not just as a kind of new style website, but as a way for them to join in new conversations, especially but not exclusively with customers and potential customers. That’s not about conversation for conversation’s […]
Alert: some shameless self-promotion here. But hopefully not without utility for readers of this blog.
This is the story. After quite a bit of to-ing and fro-ing, I am finally underway with my new focus on podcasting. Not before time: I’d encouraged enough people to think about doing podcasts, but had not taken it on properly myself.
The […]
It seems to me that in business, as in life generally, when we raise a subject there is often an expectation that we have a complete statement in mind, or our own answer to a problem we raise. And if that’s so, it probably inhibits a lot of thoughtful people from airing their surmises and their questions. Which for […]
Blogging can be fun, especially if you like sharing information and your opinions with others.
For some of us, it can also be a drag at times. What will I post about today? Hasn’t everyone covered that topic? Didn’t I write something about that six months ago?
You need to love it. If not at the beginning, […]
