Michael Reynolds Why consider ghost blogging?

You’ve probably heard all the buzz about blogging by now. As you may have heard, blogging can help build visibility for you and your company through improved search engine rankings and distributed content. Blogging also helps add an element of transparency to your business because it allows your customers to learn more about the people behind the services you offer. Finally, blogging gives you a strong content platform to distribute via multiple channels, including social networks. Blogging sou… Continue

Crystal Hammon Invest in you: seven tips for getting the most out of attending a conference

Invest in you: tips for getting the most out of your conference attendance Blog Indiana isn’t over for me. Sponsored by the School of Informatics at IUPUI and other corporate sponsors, this three-day conference on blogging and social media ended yesterday. It jangled my nerves. It reconnected me with someone I hadn’t seen in almost a decade. It freed me of some self-limiting beliefs that have dogged me for years. And it introduced me to… Continue

Jeb Banner Focus

I just returned from a week's vacation. I spent some of the time reading "100 Best Business Books of All Time". After about thirty 2 page summaries I noticed an overall trend- focus. The difference between successful and unsuccessful people and organizations is clearly pegged to their ability to focus. This extends to their "Hedgehog" as well as th… Continue

Lindsay Manfredi Dear Blog...

Dear Blog, I love you because you are always here for me. You don’t really “judge” me with the exception of a couple of red lines every once in a while as my fingers often have to keep up with my head rants. You allow me to be transparent and authentic. You allow me to scream at the top of my lungs what is inside me. You allow me to generate new audiences, and give value to others. You provide a platform for others to really “get” me, and for others to not…and for some reason, I don’t care abou… Continue

Patric Welch Coming to you live from Blog Indiana 2009

This blog post is coming to you live from my Adding Video to Your Blog session at Blog Indiana 2009. For the past 30 minutes or so I have been demonstrating to the audience how to record their own videos using a webcam, Flip Video camcorder or iPhone 3G-S. As part of my demonstration, I recorded an actual live video during my session so I could demonstrate how to upload the video to YouTube and how to embed the video in a blog post. And now for your enjoyment, here is that video...… Continue

Ellen Dunnigan Everybody's Using Videos

Saw a couple of videos this morning from an intelligent and typically well-spoken business owner. Somehow he has experienced a disconnect between the use of videos as a "new, cool" medium and the use of videos as the best manner in which that specific message will be seen, heard, and UNDERSTOOD. He was positioned in front of a blah wall, his head was tilted nearly the entire time (which made it look as if he was questioning his own thoughts), and there was no passion or "oomph" or authority in h… Continue

Stefan Bean Seeking Smart, Resilient Clients

In today's economy there are two kinds of businesses, those who fear what might happen, and those who focus on making things happen. So many businesses resort to the mentality that we must be conservative, or we will certainly crumble. While this might seem like the logical solution, the companies who are realizing that if they don't make their move now, there most certainly won't be a better opportunity down the road. So, one business is taking the initiative while the other is just hoping they… Continue

Toni Sholty OK World - Blogging and a GEM of a Read!

Ok. I have resisted and resisted..but its futile. The interface of technology and communication keeps knocking me on the forehead (or back of the head) and as much as I feel like a baby taking its first steps, awkward and unsteady, but curious and energized by what I am about to discover through this ‘blogging’ thing, I know that I must not resist anymore, and have to take the plunge to join the millions of others who have something valuable to say (or not so valuable-depending on your own view… Continue

Anthony Ware A penny for your thoughts...

A non-scientific review of Indianapolis business trends reveals that technology companies are growing despite the economy. Now, I'm not selecting the technology industry to suggest that everyone should switch to that industry. As a business consulting firm, we use technology but are far from a technology company. One of our partners, Dave Castor at Alerding Castor, keeps our team informed about technology. I just think that other industries can learn from the technology industry. Whether your… Continue

Mike Seidle Blog Ghost Writing, Good or Bad?

Tom Deeter recently posted an article on ghost writing. His premise is that if President Obama's doesn't write his own speeches, why should you write your own blog? "There’s a bit of debate about whether or not to hire ghost writers for a business blog or, as I like to call them, “phost writers“. And while I understand the arguments against it, es… Continue

Anthony Ware Path to business formation and growth in a down economy

The door is open. The time for complaining about the economy is over. Whether you are a start-up dealing with business formation issues or a existing company looking for ways to grow your business, it's time to walk through the door. Business owners need to take a step back from the noise and review the landscape. Broadly speaking, business are failing and people are losing jobs. Upon further review, some businesses are failing due to bad management or lack of investing in their infrastructure… Continue
