I had the pleasure of being interviewed on Thursday by Shelia Buyukacar, of IMAG Connects, as part of the 2009 Action Success Summit.

My topic was on “Building a Community Through Blogging”, and we covered a lot of ground over the course of the 40 minute interview.

What Did We Cover?

It’s interesting that we only scratched the surface of how to build a community with your blog, especially your business blog, but I think we laid a lot of the foundation work for what it takes to start up a business blog, and some of the many benefits.

Specifically We Talked About

What IS a blog?
Why do I REALLY need a blog…I’ve got a website—I’m on Twitter/Facebook/Linkedin. Isn’t that enough?
In my experience some of the common problems I see entrepreneurs face or create for themselves in regards to creating/implementing/maintaining a blog?
What are some of the “devastating” problems new blogs make?
What are some of the easily solveable problems when starting up a business blog?
What are the elements of a blog…what are the MUST haves?? What are the SHOULD haves?
What should an entrepreneur know about monetizing a blog?
In regards to creating and implementing/maintaining a blog what type of “experts/professionals”…should we consider getting on our team and what is the normal way to hire them?
What should we look for in each type of “member”?
What are the top X (3 to 5) action steps an entrepreneur MUST DO (to be successful) when it comes to creating-implementing-maintaining-monetizing a blog?

Great questions all of them, and the conversational style of the interview made it fun for me and hopefully fun for the listener.
