I sit here today at my desk looking out my window , working away and writing this short blog. One of the key questions I ask myself is how am I going to get my message accross to people, and then questions arise quickly!

Blogs are a way of :

• Getting my point of view out there.
• Readers can  hear what I have to say.
• Comments can be returned on the blog post discussion commences and feedback is retrieved!!

Last night I went to my monthly networking event http://www.dceb.ie/news/how-to-write-effective-blogs-to-build-your-business in which fellow entrepreneurs and business people meet up, network and discuss any issue they feel needs addressing in their business. Niall Devitt who has his own blog at http://www.btbtraining.com/blog/ gave a very inspirational speech about his experiences and knowledge of how to be effective in this medium. Arriving home last night and this morning I gave careful consideration as to how I can apply better practises to my blogging.

Over the last few months I have posted some blogs for readers to look at and comment on ( you will see those comments), the objective is they can get useful information that is relevant, helps them potentially solve a problem, and gives the information they require: In a nutshell the following is what I would hope people who read these articles will walk away with:

1. It is meaningful and relevant.
2. The blog post or blog becomes a point of reference.
3. People would like to return to the blog at different points just to see if there is anything that might might help them more.

Recently I left my full time job to work on www.productful.com . There are truly people out there who want to help, and give advice where they can. I have found the online community a real inspiration to help me reach my goals, hence the questions WHY,WHEN and to WHOM you should blog to become clearer once you get into it and decide how you are going to proceed forward.

Hope you enjoyed this post, as always , comments feedback are always welcome.
