Today, some tips from another Wordcamp RDU presenter, Jason Keath.

Jason is Social Media Director of Heels.com and a social media consultant. He talked about ways to have others provide blog content for you. My five favorites of the suggestions he shared were to:

• Build a circle of people who comment on each others’ blogs. An “informal” blog network, so to speak. You can even arrange to talk about the same topic once or twice a month and link to each other’s articles.

• Do a round-up of Tweets about some hot topic in your market to show different sides of the discussion.

• Write guest posts for others and have them do the same for you. (give before you get)

• Create a topic series where you interview other experts on a related subject.

• Interview your customers–either in text or video–or invite them to write guest posts. (Brilliant because it’s not only interesting for visitors–it also provides social proof of your work!)
