6 ways to write a bad business blog
There are lots of ways to ruin your company blog, but these six are among the most egregious.
Want people to read your business blog? Better yet, want people to read your business blog, respond positively, and take action? Then don’t:
Write in the dead zone. Commenting on breaking news is smart since timely relevance attracts interest. But there’s a definite timeliness window; fall outside it and you always lose.
