Casual Articles - The 8 P's To Blogging Success
I recently surveyed CEOs and Business Leaders of large companies and small, profit and not-for-profit, and I asked just them just one question: 'What is the single biggest factor that you believe will inhibit your sustained profitable growth into the future?’ A, perhaps, surprising 37% responded that it was people - the recruitment, motivation and retention of people that was the biggest factor.So let’s address the first one - recruitment.I see many, many businesses through a year from the very smallest through to the largest corporate and I am simply amazed how many people still use 'traditional' methods to recruit - maybe a couple of i

It seems to be working. Before I joined the blogosphere, I had as much knowledge about blogging as my mom. Now, after just a few weeks, I have hundreds of daily visitors and appreciative fans from all over the country encouraging and inspiring me to stick with my mission. I know that I personally could use some help with all the elements of this strategy, but I am excited about the success to date. I hope you find them useful.
PLAN
As blogging is taking over as the 'must do' in real estate internet marketing. If you are going to catch and ride this wave I suggest you have a plan.
Plan Your Strategy:
Determine if you can make the commitment required for the success of your blog Determine what your core focus and mission statement are - and stick to it. Determine what return you want from your blog, then blog for those reasons.PAY ATTENTION
Many someones are already successfully writing to an ever growing audience in your same field. You can only learn from them. I have always been told that if I want to be successful, I need to surround myself with successful people. The blogging community allows you to do just that, easier than ever before.
Pay Attention To The Competition:
Research and make note of all the successful and/or interesting blogs in your industry. Get RSS feeds from the above and find time to read their articles. Decide what you like and don't like about the designs and styles of the above. Improve on good ideas. Expand on interesting articles. Mimic efforts of the successful.POST
Good writing is not always easy. Reading good writing is always a joy. Finding your style will be a result of your appetite for sharing. Honing thousands of hours of effort will not only load your site full of relevant content, but also help you find your voice, making your writing more enjoyable to read and easier to create.
Post Articles:
Write as often as you can. Schedule fixed time to write articles. Start as many 'good idea drafts' as you can - this ensures a reserve of good content. Stay on subject (no one cares about the weather, or how busy you've been). Don't be wordy Many short is way better than a few long.PARTICIPATE
Web 2.0 is the age of participation. No one is going to find your blog unless you do a little (shameless) self promotion.
Participate In the Web 2.0; Don't Be Left Behind.
Leave (intelligent) comments on blogs catering to the audience that you are aiming for. Read and participate in forums on your topic.

There is a book written by Napoleon Hill called Think & Grow Rich, which I highly recommend to any entrepreneur who is thinking about or has started a new business. The book is jammed with the concepts used by America’s greatest business people and is loaded with step-by-step information to help you see what is required of you to become successful. I decided to summarize the eight main points of the book because I believe in them so much and if you have never been exposed to the concepts, even a summary will stimulate your thinking and they are:The Eight Requirements for Success1. All you need is one sound idea. 2. A burning desi

How you answer questions depends on many factors. Example what type of situation is it. Are you working with your colleague or talking with your boss. Are you doing an interview with the media or announcing a breakthrough with your business.Most people have told me that they worry the most when it is the media, because embarrassing or damaging answers could end up on public display. However, the reality is the most reporters are not out to get people, they are just looking for the facts behind the story.Sometimes it can be difficult to state your answers because each person has their own agenda of things that they would like to accompli
