Recently I had the privilege of presenting to the South Florida Business Connections Luncheon group. My Topic? Leveraging Blogging to Grow Your Business (I am a frequent presenter for this group).

Here is the video of that presentation as well as pictures of a few of the attendees.

When it comes to blogging are you in the game? Are you doing all you can to leverage the special features and benefits of blogging to promote your business?

In this video Heidi Richards Mooney talks about Blogging for Business, what it is, why you should be doing it and gives specific tips and strategies you can use to get more visibility online. She shared some startling statistics about blogging including:

More than 133,000,000 blogs have been indexed by Technorati since 2002. * 68% have been blogging for two years or more * A recent study by Universal McCann uncovered that 58% of bloggers say that they are better-known in their industry because of their blog. And much more!

Watch this video to learn the basics of blogging, why companies might/should blog, some blog tips to make the most out of your time online and more! You will learn about blogging for business, why blogging is one of the best social media platforms to promote your business and spread the word, the best blog platforms to use (hint: wordpress blog) and what being a blogger is really all about.
