We’re back to blogging in J452: Advanced PR Writing and with that comes the weekly posts for my students’ responses. I had a lot of feeds to go through and this isn’t half of the interesting things online this week. But it’ll do.
Blogging:
Tips for Promoting PR Student Blogs: As it turns out, I’m not the only instructor that makes you write a blog. You might as well make the most of it. Great tips from Karen Russell at Georgia
One Blogging Command and Seven Sacred Tips to Beat Burnout and Avoid the Lazysphere: I’m enjoying Tiffany Monhollon’s blog called Personal PR. She has some great blogging tips and this post is a perfect example.
PR posts:
Six Steps to Better Blogger Relations – I like that Geoff starts his post with the basics: know your audience, have something of value to say and be committed for the long term because relationships are not “an event.”
Reputation Management for New Media: Paul Dunay (via MarketingProfs) offers three step process for managing reputation online.
Branding/Misc:
Presidential Candidates Get the Brand Treatment – Suggests Hillary might be losing her brand by moving into attack mode.
Best Internet Blog Posts of 2007: More than 250 posts about pretty much everything. Have a question about Reddit… or Twitter… what about link baiting. Get info here.
Web Trends 2008: A lovely graphic that illustrates (as you might guess from the name) Web trends for 2008.
Sleaziest Super Bowl Ads: Yeah, I guess I have to have one Super Bowl ad post on the links.
You can also see the new Justin Timberlake/Pepsi ad here (very funny…)
Career Related:
Penelope Trunk has had a couple of good posts this week. She nearly always does, I recommend subscribing, but (for various reasons) both of these struck a chord with me and reflected things that have been on my mind the last couple of weeks.
Quick Fixes for Image Problems: Good tips about dressing for the job you want and how to fake it if you’re on a shoestring clothes budget.
How to Get a Job You’re Not Qualified For: I’ve often had students or recent grads shrink from the idea of applying for a job that might require a couple of years of experience. I always say go for it! Show you can do the job and you never know!
Pave Your Brand Roadmap: Whether for a business or your life, this is a fun step-by-step to creating a personal/life roadmap.
