Blogging has, over the last few years taken many forms, and one of the most rapidly growing of these is the entrepreneur blog which, if done well, will have a regular and loyal readership that will keep coming back to it for the developments and news in the niche that the blog covers. Entrepreneur blogs can become money spinners for their authors if their readership are large enough for them to be able to sell advertising space on their blogs, or carry PPC links. But before you think about making a living from your entrepreneur blog, you need to know how you will go about collecting the news you need – that is the critical aspect of news blogging; the actual writing, formatting and uploading is not a major task.
The place to begin your search for material for your blogs is the mainline news sources – TV and newspapers, as these have huge news gathering resources and will be able to provide you large scale global coverage from where you will be able to find ideas and content for use in your blog. Visit other news blogs that cover the same type of news that you do – not only will you often find information to add onto interesting news you collected from the papers to TV but you may also find a bit of news that, when added to what you already have, will open up a whole new story for you. Gossip always has some element of truth in it so visiting social networking sites will not only enable you to see what people are talking about and what issues are in the public mind, but also to find the occasional piece of hard news. Use search engines like Google and features like Google Alerts to give you a regular supply of inputs on what is new on the internet.
Often overlooked sources for content for entrepreneur blogs are industry reports, academic journals and online newspapers and magazines which will also bring a lot of information to your mail box and save you a great deal of time and money that would otherwise be required to collect the information you need. Press releases are both useful and easy to obtain since most of them can be obtained through RSS feeds so you don’t have to waste time tracking them down. And finally, ask your readers to send in interesting news they may come across – you never know what treasures you may find – 2 people with the same interest sending you 2 different pieces of news may be the beginning of the scoop of a lifetime.
