Enterprise Ireland eBusiness Unit Podcast: Business Blogging
Welcome to the latest podcast from Enterprise Ireland's eBusiness Unit. In this podcast we talked to two exponents about business blogging: why do a blog, what value can it provide my business and what's needed to get started? Our guests were Damien Mulley, blogger, copywriter and trainer, and Roseanne Smith, the Membership, Marketing and Communications Manager for the Irish Internet Association.
"People are blogging about your business whether you like it or not. The worst thing you can do is not be part of the conversation." Roseanne Smith, IIA
