SXSWi 2010 Darren Rowse video

16 March 2010 No Comment

This video is from Darren Rowse’s presentation about his upcoming new book. The sites that Darren runs/ administers include Problogger, Digital Photography School and others.

I always knew Darren from Problogger, and was surprised to see that DPS is a larger blog by comparison.

Nuggets from the video:

  • Content – a blog needs content to get readers.
  • Provide useful content to your audience to keep them coming back
  • Have a clear idea of who your audience is
  • It’s OK to be embarrassed by writing content for beginners
  • Go back to the beginning and write content that solves problems
  • It’s about quality and quantity
  • The more posts, the better
  • Promotion is necessary to get people to your blog
  • Think laterally to get visitors to your site

There was a fire alarm during the presentation, which cut it short, but I think that what was covered was still good and worth the watch.

Check it out and let me know what you think in the comments.
