Updated on July 8th, 2013

Guess who’s coming to dinner?

THE MARKETING GENIUS OF GUEST BLOGGING

Besides the fact that Steph Bowe is seventeen years old and her first book was published when she was sixteen (I think I was selling ice-cream) she has also appeared at prestigious writers’ festivals and contributed pieces to The Age (I got to wear a pink hat.)

And she is now guest blogging for Brisbane City Council.

A couple of questions:

What on earth have I been doing with my time?
Whose clever idea is this guest blog thing?

Video blogging – tips to get started

Updated on July 15th, 2013

Over the years we’ve recorded and shared dozens of video interviews with experts across a whole range of fields. Not only have we learned a whole lot ourselves through the knowledge of others, we’ve also been able to share a whole variety of perspectives with our own audience.

On the strategy side of things we have also generated hundreds of re-tweets, back-links and contacts through sharing these videos.

And while it’s as simple as recording, editing and posting a video, there are some nifty ways that you can leverage your video blogging (or vlogging) to make it more beneficial for your overall web strategy.…

“C’mon! Share Yourself With The World!” – The Comments Conundrum

Updated on July 15th, 2013

Something that we ask again and again when we interview top bloggers is:

“how do you get people to comment on your blog?”

We know from our analytics that people are reading the blog and despite having some people interacting with us in the comments section, it’s definitely something I’d like to see more of.
