Week 8 Free post

Hi there! For this post,  I decided to turn to Youtube for some ideas regarding a topic. I found an informative video about business blogs and starting them! Not everyone is going to find this as interesting as I do, considering I am writing one! But, for those of us that do, this video gives a few tips to begin a business blog.

Shawn (the speaker in the video) gives 5 tips and short explanations regarding them. I feel like he is very knowledgable and he seems to have experience in this area.

1. Setting Goals (Why are you writing this?)
2. Unique Content (Keep readers compelled)
3. Building Traffic (Write about something that people want to read about.)
4. Monetize your blog (Do something different than what you offer on your website)
5. Leave your readers wanting more (Same as any writing!)

I learned a few things from this video and I wish that I had read it prior to starting this blog up! I do take many of these tips into consideration when I am writing, with the exception of #4, but had I seen something like this earlier, I would have changed up a few posts to make them more interesting and compelling to a wider audience. I also didn't start with any goals other than to teach myself more about the field of business, so I may have written down a few more goals prior to this project.

Until next time!
