Editor's Notes
- By writing and sharing your experiences, you can Influence Motivate Start conversations
- Look and feel -
- Limitations? And how will brands use your work. Whats the risk? Topic ideas - To make sure you always have compelling topic ideas: – Keep a notebook of ideas as you get them. – Search through news websites for inspiration. Tone: How do you want to engage your audience? With humour? Facts? Image or text based? Make sure you keep your target audience in mind when deciding on an appropriate tone, as you want to use whichever tone will reach the majority of them.
- Bloggers versus floggers - The bloggers whose main aim is accept lots of free stuff; take a snap; filter away; upload it and wait for the likes to come in.
