I recently hosted a successful live blogging session on the topic of “What readers want from a travel blog” on my Europe a la Carte travel blog using Coveritlive software. This success was achieved from learning from the mistakes made in earlier attempts at live blogging which led me to write “7 Tips for Successful Live Blogging“.
Don’t be afraid to try new things and if they don’t work out at first be prepared to try again and build on the initial experience. It would have been easy for me to say to myself that I was never going to bother with live blogging again but thanks to some constructive criticism from an observer which I was able to take on the chin and my own observations I gave live blogging another try and it was a great success.
I believe that hosting successful live blogs can help establish you as an expert in your field. As your reputation grows you can invite other authorities in your field to be panelists on your live blog which will further enhance your standing.
