Overall I think it was a great discussion at the Atlanta Media Bloggers social/discussion this evening. I didn't get full names and URLs from everybody that was there but here's a list of a few (sorry to those I did not list):
- Toby: Diva Marketing Blog
- Teresa: Caro Consulting Blog
- Dana: Moore's Lore
- Michelle: Happiness Blog
Most of the evening centered on building traffic and readership with a little SEO thrown in.
Quite a few of the bloggers were consultants in various sectors and the issue they face is how much personal content do you post? The answer really depends on the individual, but for the most part consultants are selling themselves. The majority of the 'selling' is for their knowledge but the X factor is their personality. Providing some endearing personal content on a blog can help you connect with potential customers and maintain relationships with existing clients. I'll post some more thoughts on this later.
I'll also keep an eye out to see if any of the attendees post follow-ups on their blogs.

"the most part consultants are selling themselves."
Are they? I am not very sure about this.
