Review of Restoration & Remediation Industry Blog

This review is one in a series that I’m posting on behalf of the students in Bud Gibson’s Blogging Bootcamp class at the University of Michigan.

Back up what you say with facts. Anytime you use a sentence like “There are several factors affecting these changes” you should immediately follow it up with a list of the factors. Remember to answer to obvious questions in your posts—who what, why, where, how, when.

When you refer your readers to an article, you should go ahead and tell them just why you are recommending the article, instead of just saying the article is interesting. In fact, go ahead and tell them the point(s) you think is most important. Your readers are busy people and they may not have time to go read the article, but they can still benefit from what the article has to say, thanks to you.

Your post on 5/20 “A Marketing Challenge - Any Takers?” is very well-done. Your writing is on point and creative, and the format of the post also encourages the reader to keep reading. Your final question “Well, I’ve started the ball rolling. What do all you Marketing Savants have to say????”, however, is a little bit offensive. You’re challenging your readers, and subtly implying that they don’t have good opinions. If you want feedback, your might want to phrase your request a little differently.

Spell things right. Use correct grammar. Check your punctuation. Writing in a word processor—and not in your blogging tool—can help you keep these kinds of mistakes to a minimum. When you make silly spelling mistakes, you look dumb, and so does what you have to say.

The post on 5/29 “Industry Without Borders?” is an excellent example of what blogging can be—on-point opinion, backed up with facts. The writing is solid, and the format easy to follow. More like this, please!
