Better Blogging and Better Business 120713
In this article I am going to give you some great articles on better blogging and better business that I have found interesting during the past week. Be sure to check both sets of articles, there is often relevant overlap!
For Bloggers
1. Bloggers as well as entrepreneurs use the reach and power of Facebook to get their messages out. This article from Media Bistro helps figure out the best time to put your messages on Facebook in order to get the response you want. http://www.mediabistro.com/alltwitter/social-best-times-post_b49546
2. Many bloggers host giveaways as part of their blogging activities. This article from Simply Stacie gives a quite large list of sites where bloggers can cross promote their giveaway offerings. http://www.simplystacie.net/2010/03/sites-to-list-your-giveaways/
3. Bloggers who promote their blog posts on Facebook need to keep up-t0-date on Facebook algorithm changes. This article from AllFacebook explains some of the newest algorithm changes. http://allfacebook.com/news-feed-algorithm-update_b127316
4. Bloggers are writers. This means when they write blog posts, the posts, like all good writing, should have a beginning, middle and end that all relate to one another. This article from Blogging with Amy gives ideas on how to end a blog post properly. http://bloggingwithamy.com/end-with-a-call-to-action/
My favorite article in the group for bloggers this week is the one about figuring out the best time to post on Facebook. I like this article because a group of online content creators I belong to is trying to create increase return on investment from Facebook postings.
For Entrepreneurs
1. Entrepreneurs need to know that you don’t have to be a millionaire or in a certain class to succeed. This article from The Huffiingon Post tells the story of one woman’s journey from teen mom to media mogul. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/17/catherine-hughes-radio-one_n_1798129.html
2. Entrepreneurs can use the power of Twitter to deliver their messages to the world. This aricle from Sky Hit Blog gives information on business accounts with Twitter. http://skyhitblog.com/optimise-your-twitter-profile/
3. Entrepreneurs sometimes need to hire or engage employees on a temporary or per project basis. This article from The Online Salary gives information on what freelance websites are and how entrepreneurs can use them. http://theonlinesalary.com/2013/12/02/how-freelance-websites-work/
My favorite article for entrepreneurs this week is the one about freelancing because I have been on both sides of the freelance equation many times and was interested to see what was currently happening in the industry.

Hi Janeane,
Great post, very good tips for bloggers and online entrepreneurs. Thanks for mentioning our article at the onlinesalary.com. I look forward to reading more of your content.
That is a very sound advise.
Honestly as a blogger, I question the use of my time on facebook aside from syndication’s. Facebook gives me VERY little traffic.
Those are great tips, I am making changes next year that will incorporate some of these. I gave up on FB a long time ago, about the time you figure them out, it changes (IMO). Love the giveaway list tip and writing tips.
These are awesome tips. Thank you. I am building up my blog’s rating and this helps.
another way to learn about blogging and how to be able to have a good blog.
You are right. We need to give our readers good quality work.
I agree with number 4 that bloggers are writers. There should be a direction when we write something and most of all engaging to our readers.
