Totally agreed with you @facebook-1222812045:disqus Kristi is outstanding when it comes to blogging
Great interview! I agree with Denise Sonnenberg, using a spreadsheet is a valuable tip
Thank you Jules for stopping by.
Excellent interview. Shows why Kristi is really moving up in the blogging world.
Thank you @36e6bc44d2cd0a74c03ce342445f9417:disqus for stopping by and sharing your thoughts.
There is no doubt that Krisit is an ocean of knowledge and this interview is just a single drop. If would highly recommend checking out her blog http://www.kikolani.com to learn more about blogging if you haven’t done that.
Thanks Rana and Kristi, my main takeaway from this us to maintain that ideas spreadsheet. Apart from helping you keep track of past ideas, I think it also helps with future ideas – once your mind knows that the ideas you already had are safely written down, it has space and attention span Fred up for new ideas to come in.
Thank you @AbigailGorton:disqus for checking out the interview and finding it useful.
I personally think finding ideas and keeping track of those ideas is not that hard but the hard part is “Implementation”. This is where most of us struggle, what do you think ?
Thanks Rana and Kristi for a great interview. I really struggle with content ideas so I think Kristi’s suggestion to blog about things she struggles with and the solutions she’s found is a great topic idea. The next time I find myself researching something that I’m having an issue with I’m going to create a blog post about it.
I don’t think so you will have any problem to find blog post ideas, If you follow Kristi’s suggestions. I look forward to see lot’s of how to’s from you @195c879ff51d3509b6a850067fd1faf5:disqus
Rana,
Thank you for interviewing Kristi – Great questions and some new, groovy tips!
I liked the idea of a spreadsheet – I’m very much the one that has post-it notes, notebooks, and online notes which leads me to scramble. Something to change in 2012!
Looking forward to interacting in the SME forums…

Thank you @connectyou:disqus for sharing your experience. Believe me post it notes are still the best productive tool.
Another great How to interview Rana! This will help quite a lot of people.
Thanks you @NickRock:disqus for finding the interview useful. All credit goes to Kristi.
Great Interview.. like Kristi I love hopping to LinkedIn answers looking for questions.. I also have spreadsheet with different topics to blog. I also use WordTracker sometimes.
Love her tip on blogging.. write for the people who will read your blog and not for search engines..
Thank you @20f16b35ac120e7b858c8a97101e194c:disqus for watching the interview. No doubt LinkedIn answers is a great place to look for post ideas and also get some new clients as well by answering the questions.
Awesome interview. This is a topic that is super important to your marketing plan, but sometimes hard to grasp.
The hardest thing for me when blogging is thinking “is anyone going to be interested in this?” or “surely people can just go to so-and-so’s blog for this information”.
So thank you Kristi and Rama for clearing some things up for me.
Thank you Phillipa for watching the interview and I am glad you found some good tips here.
