SkillPills is a series of workshop, taking place in Altcity in Hamra /Beirut, where one can learn a new skill in three hours or less!
Last week's SkillPill Event : How to Set Up a BLOG for your business:
The workshop started with Ziad Alameh, a techpreneur with a love for tech startups. CTO and Co-founder of Pikaside , x-Zoomaalian and a computer scientist.
Ziad gave the first the "technical part" of setting up a blog and preparing the template:
His talk mainly covered:
- Setting up a blog from zero
- Customizing the blog to your business
- Putting it online
- Analytics: number of visitors and viewers
- How to draw more traffic to your blog
Since I am out of Lebanon, I had to give it over Skype. At first, there was a video but considering the poor connection, we had to shift to voice
- Why blogging? What makes me blog?
- How did I start?
- A little bit about food blogging
- How blogging can be a good boost for exposure (business or personal)
- Any interesting stories I would like to share from your expertise
