Organizational blogging and its impact business

Organizations require a strong communication line to support all units of business. Without a steady line for communication, costly errors are bound to appear. One great way of communicating not only with people inside and outside of an organization is through the use of blogs.

Blogs are not only used for connecting with people from outside the company but inside as well. Blogs can be used to promote the company, it can be used to showcase an organization’s innovations and new plans and agendas and it could also be used to reach new markets. A great example of these types of blogs can be found on Uprinting.com Blog. The site uses blogs as a medium for communicating with its clients as well as its employees. Organization’s not using blogs are missing out on a lot of things.

Because of the speed of the Internet in today’s setting, messages can now be related faster and more efficiently unlike a few decades earlier where a company memorandum had to be passed around from department to department. Blogs can also be used as a simple way of appreciating the value of an employee within the company. TheUPrinting Blog does the same thing. In it, employees that have lived up to the ideals of the company gets appreciated, even showcasing stories of their dedication and commitment to excellence that only UPrinting strives to achieve over other online printing firms.

Some corporate blogs are also open to the employees themselves. These types of blogs are used to add fresh ideas, comments and suggestions coming from the employees themselves. Other company’s on the other hand uses a separate blog for their employees and a different one for their clients or customers. The blogs for employees usually contain new directives and new policies as well as other news and events that relate to the company.

Blogs have become a very useful system of communication for companies and organizations. It won’t be long before corporations and even small businesses embrace the benefits that only blogs can offer.

Distribute your press release using Twitter

When Barack Obama, elected President of the United States, the last published in Twitter on 5 November had more than 90,000 faithful from the new year, if that number had grown to more than 150,000 – although the man does not publish a word since Day election!

It seems that everyone is "chirp" – The most powerful man in the world.

NASA, 10 Downing Street, BBC News, Steve Jobs Apple Corporation, and John Cleese are all happy "tweeters" and then regularly. They alone have over 40,000 followers on Twitter – users who receive each of their regular places.

There are more than 4 million users on Twitter with these 4 million people to send nearly a quarter of a million messages every month.

For a service that began in autumn 2006, which is really amazing growth, and even more amazing when you think a post on Twitter can do in 140 characters.

Links to other sites are allowed, but given the enthusiasm for the dominated Flash, Javascript-heavy, all signing, all web sites of the dance, the growth of Twitter is very surprising.

By its very limited and minimalist approach, the service reached its prey to violence at its first coming to the attention of bloggers around the world. A couple of years down the line, and almost all were initially criticized bloggers now have their own accounts and are "twittering" happy as a canary.

Even established BBC Rory Cellan-Jones said his admiration for the application in May 2008:

"I started thinking Twitter – the microblogging service that is the rage among the technorati – was just a fad for people who want to share much of his life rather boring. Until this morning.

"When I'm connected to my desktop Twitter application (sad, I know), which was alive with Tweets about the earthquake in China. Most of them were the famous technology blogger Robert Scoble, who is famous, perhaps famous for receiving a Twitter message every second day. "

It was used not only as a news service, but also as a means of raising funds, coverage of live events and campaigns.

As a new distribution system, the first came into its own in the autumn of 2007 at the outbreak of fire seasonal Carolina. "Tweets" are sent to users and was leaked to the Internet community in general. It was news of tens or even hundreds of people on the ground where the action is.

As a means of disseminating information, NASA has captured the application Media new and used for the distribution of the latest updates on its exploration activities on Mars the past using the Phoenix Mars Lander. Surprisingly, the world has been alerted to the presence of water on Mars, and not on the BBC, Fox News or CNN, but on Twitter!

With this exciting development was only matter of time before a press service began using Twitter to distribute articles and news service without press 001 has stepped up to the plate.

Launched on January 1, all major media categories 001 are also transmitted to the world through Twitter, although, of course, in a condensed version more than 140 characters.

It is too early to tell how popular this new type of service from the press is free, but if something as popular as other services news, then surely play a role in helping change the public relations strategy online.

5 Ways to Improve Your Blogging Results

Are you looking to improve your blogging results? You’ve got the best theme going and you post new content fairly regularly but the traffic is still not what you hoped for. Well have you taken a look underneath the ‘hood’ of your new ‘monster’ blog?

Remember one thing here: your blog is web 2.0 at its finest but you may be missing what makes an ‘interactive’ online presence like yours so popular.

Do you lack the buzz?

By generating a buzz you’re generating traffic

5 sure ways to generate a ‘buzz’ and boost the traffic flow to your blog:

INTRODUCE YOURSELF

Be sure you take advantage of the ‘about me’ section of your blog. Introduce yourself to new visitors and let them know why you are blogging. Give them a little insight into you such as interest, possibly family, and any other history or experience that would be relative to why you are blogging. This will make it easier for readers to ‘connect’ to you.

‘SHOUT OUT’ TO YOUR NEIGHBORS

Connect with other bloggers especially in your niche by linking to them. As you visit other blogs you’ll find some contain content that would be useful to your readers. Don’t be afraid to link to these blogs so your readers may benefit from the content there also. Not only will your own readers appreciate it but the other blog owner will thank you for generating traffic to his blog. In turn it is likely the other blog will reciprocate by linking back to you provided you’re posting quality content. Now everybody benefits and both your blogs have increased exposure within the community.

‘MINGLE’ WITH YOUR READERS

Blogs are designed to allow interactivity between and amongst readers and the blog owner. Don’t remain silent but instead respond back to comments left. This will encourage readers to become more involved and will increase the feeling of community on your blog. Everybody wants to be heard and likes the sense of ‘belonging’ so nurture these wants and needs by creating an environment of give and take.

DON’T PUT YOUR FOOT IN YOUR MOUTH

Stick to talking about what you know! If you start to ‘wing it’ your readers will know and then a lack of trust will develop and you’ll start losing readers. The deeper the hole you dig for yourself the more effort it takes to climb out of it. 

Be honest with your readers since they will appreciate this. They know you’re human and they don’t necessarily expect you to know everything. Focus on your own strengths and pool of knowledge. As time goes on your knowledge and expertise will grow and expand so be patient.

APPRECIATE READER LOYALTY

Be sure to show your appreciation to loyal readers since they make your blog successful. A thank you note or perhaps a post identifying and recognizing their loyalty would be nice. You could also send a free gift such as an ebook containing helpful information they may appreciate.

In order to improve your blogging results paying attention to your readers and showing them your appreciation will go a long way. By doing this you’ll create a ‘positive’ buzz with them thereby developing a stronger bond and more referrals. Remember by generating a buzz you’re generating traffic!

Ethics Training Best Practices: Cisco Systems

At the end of 2008, Cisco Systems revealed their unique approach to ethics training for their workforce. Many companies look for ways to make training enjoyable for employees- Cisco Systems has been able to prove that companies can effectively incorporate humor into an ethics training program and still get the message across. In ”Cisco Transmits Ethics To A ‘Wired’ Workforce,” by Andrew Singer, Cisco’s Ethics Program Manager Jeremy Wilson stated “all too often training officers are inhibited by the thought that “legal would not like that.” Compliance-related topics are inherently dry, and companies shouldn’t shy away from seeking new ways to connect with your code and your employees.”

Connecting with a “Connected” Bunch

One of the key factors allowing Cisco to carry out a more creative approach to their ethics training is that all of their employees work on computers and are connected to the Internet. The article “Cisco Transmits Ethics To A ‘Wired’ Workforce,” by Andrew Singer also featured comments from Christine Style, Cisco’s Ethics Marketing Manager, who mentioned “Cisco’s ethics office has at any time between two and five individuals working in it—yet it must get the message out to more than 50,000 employees. We are utilizing technology to do this, including communication instruments like blogs and discussion forums so we are not answering the same question 50 times.”

Even if an entire organization isn’t connected to computers and Internet, there may be certain groups within the organization that are. In order to effectively reach out to these groups and make training both accommodating and innovative, these types of tools could be implemented into their training program.

Cisco’s “Ethics Idol”

Another way to connect with employees is to engage them with something that they are familiar with. At Cisco, they created animated videos as part of a series called “Ethics Idol”, a parody of the tv show ”American Idol”, in order to spark employee interest in the training process. Jeremy Wilson explained the premise of “Ethics Idol” in this article:

“Featured on Cisco’s Intranet, it presented a series of animated ethics scenarios that are evaluated by judges. Cartoon characters sing about different ethics situations—sales practices, procurement issues, and other common dilemmas. Employees also vote, making their judgment calls on each ethical situation. The ‘contests’ have also been run by DVD in a live setting. Cisco managers use ‘Idol’ handbooks that explain how to run the contest. Ethics Idol helped raise awareness to Cisco’s employees that each ethical dilemma is not always cut and dried, and if they should have any questions to refer to the Cisco Code of Business Conduct for guidance.”

In another article by Jim Duffy on NetworkWorld regarding Cisco’s innovate ethics training program, Jeremy Wilson was quoted saying “We even had several employees volunteer to sing or perform in future Ethics Idol modules. For the first time in Cisco’s history, employees are excited for the next round of ethics training.”

We have discussed the importance of ethics and compliance training in our article “How to Maximize Your Compliance Training ROI“. The example at Cisco Systems ties in nicely with the article because it shows that training can be something employees look forward to. During training, you are asking employees for their attention and time away from their work tasks, make the most of the time and present the content in the form of something your employees can relate to. Cisco Systems has done a great job tapping into their employees in order to get a strong return on investment in their training programs.

Blogging – How Important is it to Update Your Blog on a Regular Basis?

So how often should you update your blog?

Updating your blog automatically every hour or so with junk articles using an automatic blog posting system is not recommended but updating your blog every day or so with well written or original content is highly desirable. Having several blogs might seem like a good idea but one has to have the time or resources available to update them regularly.

Technically from a marketing and social aspect it might seem like a good idea to update or add new content to your blog to get a constant flow of traffic to your blog. However one must remember that the web spiders might send traffic to your website from content that pleases them and ranks your blog higher but people read your blog. Web spiders might like junk articles because they are keyword rich and search engine optimized but people spend money not web spiders. Ultimately you have to please your readers to make money from a business blog.

Frequently updating your blog will also allow you to get your blog pings accepted more often and have your blog listed on the front of blog directories. So you could invest in one of the many automatic blog posters that spin the articles you load up hundreds at a time to make them appear unique to the search engine spiders. My experience though has been that the readability of these articles to the potential buyer is inferior to human written unique articles and in some cases they are difficult to read and understand. My question is therefore how can you become an expert in your niche market with these junk articles?

Updating your blog regularly is also important if you use social marketing sites to spread the word about your blog in order to get traffic to your website. Social marketing however is all about human connections so your blog needs to be readable and easy to understand when these people take interest in your social network posts and visit your blog.

Having a blog is not just about making money online but is also about connecting with other blog owners who share common interests. Updating your blog will give them an incentive to visit your blog regularly, post comments and refer their readers to your blog. If you do the same to their blogs it ultimately creates lots of back links for everyone concerned and helps to rank your blog and website higher in the search engine results.

About the Author

Therefore it is important to update your blog regularly with interesting and unique content that is well written and readable by humans as well as the search engine spiders to build both marketing and social marketing relationships that encourage people to return and visit your blog.

WordPress or Movable type?

I am a beginner in web blogging, which would you recommend? I hope someone would be willing to help me out and give me some tips

Hi,
Having used both Movable Type and WordPress, I’d have to thoroughly recommend WordPress.
It is very simple to set up, they’ve put a lot of work into making it one of THE simplest setups I’ve ever come across. You’ll need a MySQL database (> version 4.0) and PHP (> version 4.2) on wherever you’re hosting your blog so check with your provider.
There is a very large community of people using WordPress so there are many templates to change the look of your blog already written and many plugins to help your blog do more as you get more confident.
Where Movable Type lost it for me was when they started to sell out to big business and started to limit what the free personal account could do. In particular the number of authors or blogs you could host off one installation of Movable Type. Because they turned their back on their roots, a lot of people moved away from them.
WordPress is totally free, and a fantastic example of what open-source software should be like.
Hope this helps, if you need any more help let me know.

10 Ways You Can Use Blogs Right Now

Now that you have got a basic understanding of the ins and outs of blogs, and some options available, you’re probably wondering: How does this help my business? How does it help me to stand out?

1. Team Communication. Companies use blogs internally to communicate project status to stakeholders and managers. It beats clogging everybody’s email with mass broadcasts. It allows these missives to be archived, indexed and easily searched.

2. Enrich Your Clients. You can easily link to articles and resources relevant to your readers and their needs. You can more easily attract experts to provide value-added content to your audience.

3. Get to Know Your Customer. Nobody buys from someone they don’t know. Blogging allows you to demonstrate your expertise and point-of-view quickly and easily. In addition, blogs allow the customers to receive your updates in the format they choose.

4. Collaborate. You can create your own marketing buzz to drive attention and buyers to your products and services. Some companies use internal blogs to report on projects or to track work groups distributed around the world.

5. Research and Development. Weblogs are the perfect forum to test out new ideas and receive instant feedback. You can allow others to see how you develop your products and services, and at the same time, they can tell you how best to serve them.

6. Go Global. Blogs, like other online media, allow you to take your business and ideas to a global market. Translation services are getting better every day, allowing more people to read online content in different languages. I’ve helped bloggers from New York to New Zealand, from Indiana to India.

7. Hidden Entrance to the Press. Journalists are busier than ever and blogs provide a virtual directory of pundits on any topic. You and your company can be the content expert they’re looking for. Furthermore, if your company is talked about in the blogosphere it could end up using that exposure as a back door to the press.

8. Get Published. Publishers are turning to blogs to find new writing talent. Blogs can give a publisher a taste of your writing style as well as a sample of your depth of knowledge. Content specific blogs show a commitment to a certain topic or subject matter.

9. Write your book. Let your readers help you write your latest book or article. Post chapters or ideas, then let readers help you in researching, testing and suggesting ideas. Or, use a blog after your book is published to update the material or to answer questions from readers.

10. Success Stories. Invite clients to blog about their successes with your products and services – it’s like a living testimonial that never ends. As clients share their experiences, your prospects can see first-hand how you can help them, too.
