Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
We are amazed, time and again, by the blog-reluctance of many small businesses. We hear things like “I don’t have time to blog”, “blogging doesn’t make sense in my industry”, and sometimes even the dreaded “what the heck is a blog?”
The reality is if your company provides unique products or services, you should be blogging. (And if your company doesn’t, you should probably consider a career change.) The truth is you don’t have time NOT to blog.
There are 6 fundamental benefits to corporate blogging:
(1) Gain visibility as a thought leader
(2) Engage customers in a dialogue
(3) Every blog article is an SEO opportunity
(4) Blogs are link bait
(5) Humanize your brand
(6) Search engines love more and fresh content

Blog Title Up-Starts..Buenos Aires, Argentina
Blog URL: http://tutoramigos.blogspot.com/
Blog Tagline: Life (nearly) off the map and start-up businesses flying below radar
What makes the blog worth visiting?
For the international arm chair entrepreneur, it’s a way to get embedded without buying the economy class ticket.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
“Don’t be afraid to be yourself”, and “Try not to spend all day being yourself”. For newbies like me, it’s the Ying and Yang of blogging. I worry about how I present myself through the blog and how it will reflect on my small business. (“Don’t be afraid to be yourself.”) But also I need to remember to put my fanny in the computer chair of a potential reader (“Try not to spend all day being yourself”) It’s the only way I manage to get a post both started and finished.

What makes the blog worth visiting?
The focus of this blog is on providing resources for anyone who is a writer or interested in writing. Resources include writing strategies and techniques, along with the best technological resources for a freelance writer.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
This is why I write, I want to know new things. I want to know why and how to explain it to others if I can. This is called inquiry! Finding out why things are the way they are. Writing is just like the central idea of inquiry. To be able to write about something, you need to ask a question – why or what do I need to know? Then find the answers and explain it to others in my own words.

I am a mid forty guy, married & with a cute teenage daughter 🙂
Basically, I work at home since the 2005 on internet marketing. So far I’ve been quite enjoying this type of life as I can work freely and have more time staying with my family.
I love my family and love my life. I named my blog as HooGoodies because I like funny things that make me happy.
Furthermore, I wish I could always share every goodie with my beloved ones to make them happy always.
Life is hard, but we should always make ourself live on happily 🙂 ….

Blog Tagline: We Can’t Both Look Good. It’s Me or the House
What makes the blog worth visiting?
Just your average homeschooling mother of five young boys. Popular series include; “Life doesn’t suck as much as I thought”, “Fight the Frump”, “Name that Inappropriate Photo” and “How to Ruin your Life.” The site is fun, upbeat and occasionally insightful.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
My best advice about blogging is to love your readers. Jump right out of the screen and hug everyone. Let them know how grateful you are that they spend time with you. Also, scannable, easy to digest posts, because we live in an age of so much distraction. Readers want graphics, photos and entertainment as well as valuable written information. Let your authentic voice come through and you will, over time, build a loyal and sizable readership. Just don’t forget to hug everyone.
