The Bootstrap Blog shares news about the bootstrap community updated by [[Contributor]]s who post directly to the blog. It is also a place where Bootstrap members can share their expertise and gain readers for their own blogs. Why blog? Well, [http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=the-healthy-type&sc=rss it's good for you]! But more than the purported health benefits, blogging serves as a way to lock in your own learning about whatever it is you write about. It also is a fantastic way to communicate with the outside world and evangelizing your product/service leveraging the Bootstrap Austin brand. If you aren't blogging for your business, perhaps this will help spur you on. Regardless of your stage, blogging is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to build credibility and notoriety for you and your venture.

We are creating an opportunity for the bootstrap community's expertise to be heard with the ability to post to BD Tech Daily and the Bootstrap blog. See below for some of the past posts. Content varies from reporting on a Bootstrap Austin meeting, to reflecting on an aspect of bootstrapping. The idea is that you will promote bootstrapping/the community AND your business. Ideally, you give people a place to continue the conversation with you as [http://community.bootstrapnetwork.com/brianmassey Brian] did on his post on [http://www.bootstrapaustin.org/2008/01/if-you-selling-to-humans-you-got-to.html David Ansel], the Soup Peddler.

Editorial Mission

The Bootstrap Blog shares news about the bootstrap community updated by Contributors who post directly to the blog.

It is also a place where Bootstrap members can share their expertise and bootstrap journey. We have found that when bootstrappers share their story with others, they lock in their own learning. And communicating through various social media is a requirement for any bootstrap entrepreneur.

When you write for the Bootstrap Blog, we will cross-post your articles on BD Tech Daily and Austin Entrepreneur Network.

Steps to Get your Post on the Bootstrap Blog

  1. Pick a date from the calendar below and send an email to: jason AT abdmag DOT com - you will get an email from Jason confirming your date.
  2. Send Jason your blogpost the DAY BEFORE your date. See earlier posts by members below if you need some inspiration
  3. Jason will edit your blog and it will be posted on the Bootstrap Blog, AEN Network and tweeted on @bootstrapaustin
