Netweaving Your Way through Blogging

Wow, I just listened to an awesome presentation by Debra Simpson, on WECAI’s First Fridayz event.  Debra shared some great tips on increasing the visibility of your blog, how to make it more interesting and how to collect some “link love!”    Debra Simpson says visit magicinblogging for some how-to videos!  You can also find Debra’s podcasts at http://www.northsandiegobusiness.com.

I would be remiss if I did not share the contact info for Heidi Richards WECAI Network and the wonderful programs she provides on a monthly basis that are FREE for her members (and the great part is that your can become a member for free!).  Check out Heidi’s Network and see how impressed you are with what she provides – she is definitely a first-class networker and truly believes in helping much more than receiving!

One of the things that Debra shared with us is that when she attends a networking event sponsored by her local Chamber of Commerce, she attends with digital camera in hand.  She snaps photos during the networking event, returns back to her office, prepares slide shows from the event and posts the slide show to her blog.  She then adds all the business’ names (from the photos she took) and includes them on her BlogRoll!  She refers to that as spreading the “link love!”

I think that is such an awesome idea and I am going to venture into something like that.  At our weekly Referrals Unlimited Network meeting, I’m going to arrive with my digital camera and then post some photos on our blog, right here!  I do believe that would be a fabulous way to showcase our Member of the Week and keep the buzz going about looking for ways to help that member increase his/her business.  So look out, Lancaster RUN members – come dressed for success, we’ll be snapping some photos and learning how to get them up on this blog for all the world to see!

Thoughts anyone?  Tell me, what you do to make your blog stand out from the crowd?
