\"AnThe<\/span> Joanne Dewberry.co.uk<\/a>\u00a0blog is featured in this week\u2019s Media Updates. Author<\/span> Joanne Dewberry<\/a> talked to Cision about social media, weekly posts and relationships with PRs.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Why should people read your blog?<\/strong><\/span>
I’d like to think my blog is interesting and informative to small business owners including start-ups, mums in business and craft-based businesses. \u00a0I write in a no-nonsense, jargon-free manner. I love interacting with my readers both on the blog and via social media, and welcome comments and discussion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The most important issue in your blogosphere is\u2026<\/strong><\/span> Social media marketing for small business especially mums in business who are not only time-strapped but cash-strapped\u00a0too. \u00a0I don’t partake in all forms of social media for my business but am aware that others do, therefore I seek experts or small business bloggers getting it right to write guides and features. I also write business advice relevant to craft-based businesses \u2013 visual merchandising, pricing, craft fairs and markets – in line with the content of my book Crafting a Successful Small Business<\/a><\/i>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

How often do you aim to post?<\/span><\/strong>
I used to write three times a week but found it hard to promote that many posts and engage interaction when so much appeared to be going on. I now write once a week so I have time to promote fully. I’m not regimented by a certain day or time; I like to mix it up a bit. I also spend a day or two writing posts and schedule them over a month, this helps enable my blog to stay active even when I am busy or the children are on school holidays.\u00a0<\/p>\n

How do you feel about guest posts?<\/strong><\/span>
I love guest blogs that add value to my content and provide useful resources for my readers.\u00a0I also love working with other bloggers who have skills and knowledge I don’t possess. \u00a0<\/p>\n

How does a good PR work with you?<\/strong><\/span>
I love working with brands I like and use and am happy to blog or review. \u00a0I like working with PRs that want to develop a relationship with you and your readers rather than just one-offs. \u00a0I also love PRs who interact with you via social media sharing your content and using you as an example.<\/p>\n

What do PRs do that’s bad?
<\/strong><\/span>Emails which arrive addressed incorrectly or suggest they\u00a0\u2018love your blog\u2019 but from the tone and content of the email you know they haven’t read it at all. I also dislike PRs who offer to write content that is in line with your blog and want to add a no offensive link to a bingo site etc…. which has no bearing on my readers or small businesses.<\/p>\n
