Getting it out there

September 27, 20162 Comments

You may not have noticed, but I have a new website. I’m quite proud of it. So proud in fact that I had to hold myself back from making it live straight away, just so people could see what I had done. I’m glad I didn’t. It would have been a big mistake. Check and … Continue reading Getting it out there

Give a little, gain a lot

September 23, 2016Leave a comment

What do you look for when you go online? Information? A social connection? Adverts for someone else’s business? I bet it’s not the latter.

Write what you know

September 23, 2016Leave a comment

I once wrote a fantastic English essay about a talking dog. At least, I thought it was fantastic until my teacher handed it back with a large red scrawl at the foot: "Rubbish! Write what you know." He was, sadly, right. It is incredibly hard to make a piece of writing seem believable unless you … Continue reading Write what you know

Check … Continue reading Seven ways to get your point across online

Six steps to targeting your content online

September 23, 2016Leave a comment

Time is money, and in the online world time is a very scarce resource. This is because people scan web pages rather than read them, and will move on unless you grab their attention within a couple of seconds. This is not necessarily a problem. If you know your market well enough, then you can … Continue reading Six steps to targeting your content online

Blogging: why bother?

September 23, 2016September 23, 2016Leave a comment

"I'm too busy!" That's my favourite excuse for not blogging. Closely followed by: "I'm just going to wait until my new website is up and running" and "I can't do it now - I need to walk the dog." But I have my new website, the dog will always need to be walked, and sometimes … Continue reading Blogging: why bother?
