In business, there is no such thing as writer’s block. It doesn’t exist. Erase the phrase from your mind. You see, in any business, there are so many potential stories to be told that one should never run out of them even if they’re blogging daily. More importantly, this isn’t like writing a novel.

There are many compelling reasons to go from blog to vlog: First, you’re giving your followersanother way to consume your content. In our TV-driven society, many people would rather watch than read.
You can also argue that video content is more engaging, compelling and memorable than text alone. With video, you can bring your blog posts to life and make them more personal.
So if a picture is worth a thousand words, what’s a video worth? A minute of video is worth 1.8 million words, according to D. James McQuivey of Forrester Research. That’s a lot of written blog posts!
Now let’s turn some of those words into videos.Here are a few ways to get started:...

Every reporter should be a frequent user of Twitter’s advanced search function.
I’ve published lots of Twitter tips for journalists before and compiled resources for journalists using Twitter. Those extensive lists might be a little overwhelming, though, if you’re just getting started in Twitter and lacking confidence.
I’m going to take a different approach now, explaining one Twitter tip at a time, suggesting that reporters master a different tool or technique each week (or so; no promise that I’ll be able to hold to a weekly schedule).
