Blog Post: Start Blogging Today!

Here’s an invite to employers, community organizations, schools, and employment related nonprofits to utilize the Jobing Community Blogs to create awareness for your organization.  Our blog site is an established trusted part of the community with thousands of visitors each day.  We are working hard to create a true community resource with valuable insight geared toward job seekers.  My goal is to help the employment community further its mission and I know that blogging is a great way to do it.  It’s easier than you think! 

Here are some great reasons to blog.

1.  It increases awareness of your organization.  You provide a valuable resource to local job seekers and more people should know what you do.  Include a weblink in your profile to help drive traffic to your website.  Jobing is a known commodity with a large, smart, and devoted audience of job seekers, employers, non-profit organizations, community resources, and students.  We have the eyeballs.  Get your message in front of them.

2.  It improves your search engine rankings.  Google in particular loves user generated content.  Your blogs may pop up even before your corporate website. 

3.  It's free.  Targeted exposure that's free...it's a no-brainer.  We can afford to offer it free because good blogs bring traffic to our site too.  It's a holistic way of looking at marketing.  We like to call ourselves enlightened. 

Here's what works well...
Employment related advice and tips
Specific industry info, ie "what's it like to be in the insurance business?"
"Day in the life" pieces about a particular job or industry
Employment related community event promotion
Professional association information
Info about employment related community services
Job market news

Here's what doesn't work as well…
Solicitations
Anything "hard sell"
Info unrelated to employment, education, or the local community
