Building a Great Blog
with Voices
Other than Your Own
Thursday Bram
Why shouldn’t
you write for your
own blog?
How can other
people help?
Why me?
Guest posters,
freelancers, and
partners, oh my!
Other types
of content
Choosing
a new contributor
The question
of voice
Style can be
taught
The necessity of
an editorial process
Where
to find writers
Submission
guidelines
save sanity
The never-ending
pitch cycle
Choosing
a long-term
contributor
Set expectations
and rewards
Do you need a
contract?*
*I’m not a lawyer.
Plan an
editorial calendar
What constitutes
a finished post
Expectations
beyond publication
A crash course
in copyright law*
*I’m still not a lawyer.
The publisher’s
master course
Regular
editorial
meetings
are magic
An editor makes a
world of
difference
Batch
processing
saves effort
Work as far
in advance as
you can afford to
Good content
is expensive
What else
can you do with
your content?
Always
remember,
it’s your blog
