Amen Leslie! (Also, mining startup — wow!)

So true! I’ve spent the last few weeks researching and writing content marketing materials for a mining startup, and soon I might be doing a similar project for an engineering consultancy. In unsexy, technical industries like these, well-written articles that are not academic papers or spammy 90s-style ad-laden sites are really hard to come by! It will be interesting to see how these communities of prospects react to what we’re writing.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks Sarah. The strong points of content marketing cannot be overstated, that’s for sure — especially in a world so saturated with marketing. Anyone who helps is going to naturally rise to the top.

Great points, Lindsey! So true about helping customers rather than interrupting them.

That illustrates a good point actually: people like me, who write for a living, don’t wait for inspiration. We dig our heels in. It’s a job like any other, albeit one that has some creativity (and the opportunity to learn new and different things all the time), and I think a lot of the doubt coming from business owners I work with or meet with stems from a misunderstanding of what the job really is. Blogging for business is about adding value, delivering something — a skill, a lesson, an answer to a question — that the clients on the other end need or want.

Thank you but it is not something I like to do, unless I feel “compelled” to post.

Blogging is not for everyone, but there are many ways to use content to grow a business or reputation. A great way for an author to do it is write about your characters, or insights into how you write (especially tips) — etc. etc. You’ve heard all that before, and you’ve done both successfully. I think you are much better at it than you think!

Though I love writing, I am not such a fan of blogging – there, I said it. If I can post content from my novel, fine, but…hey, maybe I should hire you!
