Starting a blog
Posted by Kristi Olson on November 20, 2008
I got some good advice from my good friend, Garrick, today about starting a blog:
“My recommendation would be to start a blog and regularly (minimum – once every couple of days) write/post about what you think is interesting in the field/line of work that interests you. Add the url to your email sig. I say blog – because it’s the easiest to set up, publish, and maintain.
Simultaneously (say on alternate days) add insightful, thoughtful comments to blog posts you think are interesting – pointing to your blog.
It’s all about getting your name out there – associated with the themes and topics you’re interested in doing work on.
There’s lots there.
Lots.
If I had 1 recommendation, it would be: Start.
Doesn’t have look good out of the gate. Posting is most important.
How’s that sound?”
Sounds pretty dang good! Good advice for the newbies.
