Be known for what you know

For experimental purposes, you can take your old blog post and make some quick adaptations so that you can repost it on beBee Producer. 

Probably you just want to get an idea of how publishing on beBee actually works -- is it like Facebook, where the content is served to a certain number of your friends/connections and that's it? How does a post get added to a relevant category/hive like "Leadership" or "Big Data"? Who decides that?

beBee Producer is fertile ground. Our team is working to convince people to blog with beBee and post content to beBee Producer as opposed to posting on LinkedIn, Quora, Medium, or personal blogs, which means that we're doing our best to give writers reach and exposure. Aren't we John White, MBA ?

Writing on beBee can strengthen your reputation, keep you front of mind with your own network, and give you exposure to a broader audience which you would not otherwise reach and enhance the company brand. Posts become part of your profile and help you to stand out from the crowd. Every time you publish a new article/story your connections will be automatically notified.

Write about what you know and what interests you

beBee is an open platform. People will read and follow your articles if they learn something that helps their business or their lifes. Stick to your areas of expertise. It's better to write about the two or three areas where you have in depth knowledge than try to write broadly about general business topics. This is about being known for what you know.

Writing must also be engaging enough to keep the viewers attention, if you don't find it interesting how do you expect the reader to.

The fact that beBee Producer is new and not crowded yet makes it worth exploring. beBee will not stop working for our writers, and beBee will not cut our writers off even though they keep on writing for other platforms. 

What Do You Want To Be Known For?

Your personal brand is not just what you do; it’s how you do it, for whom you do it, and why you do it. It’s about the difference that only you can make for others because of the unique value your purpose, strengths, passions, expertise, and experience brings to others. People with strong personal brands get noticed because they share their passion for what they do in a way that is relevant to the people they want to serve.

Promotion, promotion and promotion

Your writing may be great but if only a few people see it then your efforts are wasted. Prolific social media blogger Mike Allton suggests that 20% of time should be spent writing a post and 80% promoting it.
