March 21, 2009 - Denver, Colo. — Whether you're establishing your company as a thought leader in your industry, or just want to build on your personal/professional brand, an effective blog can be a great way to build awareness about who you are and what you do. But maintaining a blog is a commitment, and it involves more than writing a new post every few days. On March 31, social media strategist Eric Elkins, CEO of WideFoc.us (http://WideFoc.us), speaks with publicist Starr Hall about the fundamentals of creating a successful blog — from easy, turn-key approaches to creating content, to leveraging social networks to build readership, to engaging in the conversations that will bring new eyeballs to the site.
“When we train our clients on the use of corporate blogs to build awareness, it’s as much about being engaged in conversational media as it is writing a good post,” said Elkins. “Setting up a blog and creating an editorial calendar of sorts is just the first step. Tools like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter are essential to building a following.”
The WideFoc.us team helps its clients use social media tools and platforms to build awareness, repair and maintain online reputations, propagate content, and create thought leaders. The company’s Social Media Audit Package, a potent first step in working with conversational media, is being used by corporate clients and agency partners alike. Customers include consumer brands, startups, and global corporations.
“Providing in-house training on blogging and the use of tools like LinkedIn and Twitter has become a very big part of what we do,” added Elkins. “I’m excited about this teleseminar, because it will be a fun, informative step-by-step discussion for anyone looking to start a professional or corporate blog.”
The free teleseminar will take place from 11:01AM to 12:05PM MST on Tuesday, March 31. Part of a series of seminars hosted by publicist Starr Hall, this free event will also be available to registered participants via podcast.
