Try for the “Hey, man, that would solve our problem, too” reaction from your rea How To Be a Good Listener Blogging, it’s all the rage. The biggest problem with becoming a successful blogger is time and content management. Blogs are cool. Blogs are fun. Blogs are addictive. Blogs are time vampire and energy suckers.There are always two sides to every conversation or presentation. Both are equally important, but one always comes easier to us than the other.Often, in conversation, we use the time when another individual is speaking to formulate our next response or consider completely unrelated topics. It is rare for our attention to be focused intently on the other person’s words. Similarly, when in attendance at a presentation or meeting, it is easy to allow our minds to wander or become engrossed in minor details and distractions, therefore missing the full import of what is being presented to us. But re Steven R. Covey’s masterful 7 Habits of Highly Effective People started a trend of listing better ways to do things. Even though cheating isn’t on his list, I’ll go ahead and borrow a page from his book (a great read by the way) and make a list! 1. Write a blog post everyday. This can become a daunting task. It doesn’t have to be. At least one thing happens everyday that makes you think about how you do things in your area of expertise. For example, today I was going to post on my blog about how it’s important to watch what you say. The article came to me after I realized that I was naming our revised custom blog pricing packages “Basic BM”, “Bronze BM”, “Silver BM”, “Gold BM” and “Platinum BM”. If you haven’t figured out why these package names aren’t really great for branding unless you’re selling some sort of colloidal or metallurgical solution for folks who don’t eat enough bran, then you may want to have someone edit your blog posts and help you with branding! Every day at least one “Hmmmm” relative to your blog topic will come up. At least write yourself a note when it happens so when it comes posting time you’ll have a topic. 2. Create a “series” of posts. This is sort of a follow on to point 1 above. Hopefully your blog provides valuable information that keeps readers coming back for more, or even better subscribing to your RSS feed. If you have a “hot topic” that requires more than 1,000 words to get through, think about creating a series. For example: “Creating a WordPress Blog: Step by Step” could be your series. This could easily be a 10 part series on one topic. 3. If applicable add some personality to your blog. Ideally your blog is “information for information seekers”, but the fact of the matter is that your readers are people too and will identify with you as the author if you “humanize” your blog posts with some humor, anecdotes or day-to-day experiences. 4. Use real world applications to demonstrate to your readers the expert advice or information you’re passing on. Given that most of your blog postings are going to be 100% test try to help your readers “visualize” the benefit of heeding your advice by demonstrating a real world example or actual application that you or one of your existing clients have encountered.

At least one thing happens everyday that makes you think about how you do things in your area of expertise.What is the importance of sampling in survey research? This question, if rephrased like this - can survey research be done without sampling? The answer will definitely be a big no. After all, what is a sample? A sample in survey research is nothing but a small portion of the population being put under the scanner for the study. Let's take a real life example. Suppose we want to buy five kilograms of mangoes. For the starters, mango quality is decided by its fragrance. What would a buyer do? Would she smell all the mangoes from the heap and then take out five kilograms or pick up few randomly and decide on For example, today I was going to post on my blog about how it’s important to watch what you say.

But when I think of all the decisions I should have made or the actions I should have taken one fact stands out very clear. I knew what I should have done; I simply didn't do it!There are many good reasons why we don't do the things we know we should. For example, when the doctor told me for the 5th year in a row that my cholesterol was too high, I once again assured him that I would start exercising and watching my diet.About two weeks later I was at a mee Every day at least one “Hmmmm” relative to your blog topic will come up.

Specifically, both parties must treat each other fairly and be completely honest. They also need to communicate openly and not withhold relevant information. There should be full disclosure of any facts relevant to the transaction.Respect is one of the most important elements of treating people well.

If you have graphs, charts, image examples or any visual or audio aid that can help your reader get the most out of your post, use it. The more enjoyable you can make the user experience the more valuable they will find your blog, the more they’ll come back, and the better chance you have to convert that reader to a customer. 6. Utilize the resources at Ezinearticles or GoArticles to add additional relative content to your blog. Make sure you give attribution (don’t delete the links). You’re not the only with good ideas, so don’t hesitate to add other author’s valuable content to your blog. It’s only fair to give them the link back, it won’t really hurt your SEO rankings like a traditional website linking strategy. Ezinearticles is a great cure for writer’s block! 7. Don’t forget to throw in calls to action for your reader to contact you. Hopefully your posts are valuable and you, the author, are becoming regarded as a “goto guy (or girl) by your readers. Don’t forget to remind them that you are a resource and provide them with effective calls to action to reach you. If you’re unsure about how to make the most effective use of your blog and specific calls to action, or aren’t getting the traction you want on the search engines get in touch with me I’ll be happy to help you out. (see how I snuck that one in!) 8. Make friends with your competitors, utilize your colleagues and encourage your employees or partners to write articles for your blog. Again, give them the benefit of the link. You’ll be surprised what comes out of sharing your blogspace with those around you, and it’ll provide your readers with a better mix of writing styles. Encourage your readers and customers to propose article topics and submit questions. Great for writer’s block. Well, there you have my 7, no make that 8, Habits of Highly Effective Blogging. Get yourself a copy of Stephen Covey’s book, don’t forget to write down tomorrow’s blog topic and blog away!
