Attract Guest Bloggers Super Easily

Running a good blog is all about creating good content regularly. If you look through the blogosphere you will see that most of the most highly regarded blogs are filled with high quality content that is also timely. Now, if you can’t spend a lot of time on your own blog right now or, if you want to take your blog up a level or two, you need to look for guest bloggers that will help you build your blog for free. The best part about getting a guest blogger is that, he/she doesn’t need to be paid for the content, because you’ll already be giving credit to them and linking to their blog/site. In a way it is a win-win situation: you get content, they get exposure. Regardless of whether you want to target a specific niche market such as local mobile monopoly review or virtually any other specialized niche, it’s vital that you remember the following tips.

Be Firm About Deadlines: Should you even bother with a deadline when dealing with a guest blogger? Can that logic even work? Of course it does! It may feel strange subjecting a guest blogger to a deadline, but it is your blog after all, and you’re not paying them so it’s only fair that the content arrives on your schedule. This will show your guest bloggers that you are indeed serious and expect things to get done. You also gain the opportunity to plan a schedule more easily, as you’ll already know when your next lot of content will arrive. So set firm deadlines for your guest bloggers to work towards.

To Edit or Not to Edit?: Since you own the blog, you reserve the right to edit the content submitted by your guest writer. You might not need this option often, but there will be times when small mistakes or errors arise that need to be amended. You risk giving your readers the wrong impression about the professionalism of your blog by publishing unedited material. Don’t be tempted to edit the entire article’s structure or tone, just any spelling errors or grammatical mistakes you find. Whether you want to target a niche like local mobile monopoly or virtually any other specialized niche, it’s crucial that you remember the following tips.

Hold Contests: By holding contests, you can get an amazing response and targeted input – there is some charm in giving away stuff and it still works great. Running these kinds of contests can motivate people to write for your blog. Your contest doesn’t have to give away anything super extraordinary, as long as you are offering something of value, they will want to take part and they will hope to win. In summary, this article helps you see that guest blogging isn’t going anywhere. If you really want your blog to have great content and offer real value to your readers, you should not forget about the power of having guest bloggers help you out. There are so many guest bloggers out there hoping to work for you who are just waiting for you to look at them. After you start to work with guest bloggers, you’ll see that most of them will only offer up fantastic quality content and that they will always be focused upon your chosen niche–there isn’t any way that you can use.

Is all Press Really Good Press?

Traditionally, public relations agencies have considered any press good publicity. However, in this day and age of new media, that standard has changed. Sam Ford of Peppercom calls the traditional viewpoint a major mistake.

In an interview with Abby Johnson at SXSW, Ford explains that communicators should think qualitatively in terms of what people are saying, instead of quantitatively. In addition, now as brands are getting more involved in social media, they need to realize that they might not like the feedback they receive.

If you are not ready to hear honest feedback, then maybe new media is not the place for you. Ford says, Engagement only works if youre prepared to engage on your side as much as youre expecting the audience to engage.

He also points out the harm in a brand over-promising its ability to engage if it cannot. Unfortunately, many Web 2.0 business models are built off of strategies for engaging the audience, but if the brand is not providing anything in return, it is essentially asking for unpaid labor to build its business.

Once a brand is involved and is ready to engage, Ford says it automatically thinks that the only way it can react to negativity is by responding. Instead of focusing on what to say next, Ford suggests that brands find solutions for the real problems. He said hearing is not listening.

If a brand wants to produce positive press, a brand should send a message that is additional material for the conversation the audience is already having. In the end, this will make the message spreadable.

Are you actively engaging your audience and truly listening?

Marketing Disease and Pushing Drugs, 1/7

http://www.encognitive.com
Doctors might not be crazy about the idea, but patients are walking into their offices asking for specific drugs. They have heard about them on TV or read about them in magazines.

Askier travels blissfully down a mountain of ragweed, his skis in perfect position as pollen scatters across a parched mountain landscape. Quick–is this an advertisement for weed killer, a new type of skiing, or an allergy drug?

Unless you’ve stayed away from magazines and TV this year, you probably know this is an ad for Allegra, an allergy drug manufactured by Hoechst Marion Roussel, Inc. The caption reads: “This allergy season, live with ahhhbandon. Ahhh! Allegra!”

The Allegra print campaign is one of a multitude of highly visible prescription’ drug advertisements aimed directly at the public. Ever since federal regulations changed laws governing the advertising of prescription drugs in the 1980s, such advertising efforts have taken off. Manufacturers spent $137 million on direct-to-consumer drug advertising on television alone in 1996, according to IMS America and Nielsen Media Research. Advertising is also extensive in most major consumer magazines. “They’re spending a ton of money” says Jack Trout, a marketing expert based in Greenwich, Connecticut, and author of The New Positioning: The Latest on the World’s Number 1 Business Strategy. “They’re keeping these magazines afloat.”
