Our loyal readers may have noticed that we slacked off a bit on our blog this month. Shame on us! We are definitely not alone—starting a blog is the easy part. Feeding it is a whole other matter. Just in the nick of time, two articles with outside-the-box ideas for creating fresh content.
Using Skype for Content and Collaboration
We have been reading a lot about Skype as a collaboration and marketing tool and this article provides some solid examples and how-tos. An idea that we are playing with is using Skype to conduct and record vide interview for our blog. Related businesses (who are not your competition) are the perfect candidates. They get free publicity and you get someone else’s voice on your blog besides your own.
The Power of the Press Release in Small Businesses
Press releases are an often overlooked tool for small businesses. Don’t think that they are just for corporations with an entire PR staff. Releases are excellent tools for building backlinks (especially when us a distribution service like PR Web). Even if you take a less formal route, they are a great way to spread the word about your business.
