Blogging For Freelancers!
You can write right?
BUT can you blog effectively and reach the greater ‘write-o-sphere’ that should be reading it?
You are invited to a presentation by SAFREA member and blogger Hagen Engler on Blogging is Dead! Long live blogging!
Hagen will guide you through:
- Global trends
- One journalist’s method – What I use my blog for
- WordPress: The killer app
- Getting set up
- Cash for chaos
There is so much more to blogging than posting up articles, opinions and views. A lot of thought goes into your blogs, thoughts take time. Come and spend some time with Hagen and enhance the reach of your blog and therefore your views and opinions.
