The fellow negotiation bloggers of the world need a little company. Surprisingly, there are relatively few blogs out there that focus solely on negotiation. The market for those looking to read blogs about negotiation is HUGE! We need some help. If you have considering starting a blog, think about blogging on negotiation. This unsaturated market has a lot of elbow room to move around. I know you will be pleased by your decision to blog about negotiation. Follow this guide to get started:
Choose a Niche
You want your negotiation blog to reflect your experience and the interests of your potential readers. You’ll want to choose a niche that is focused, but not too much so that you run out of topics to blog about! Here are a few suggestions of blog topics to help get the creative juices flowing:
Real Estate Negotiation- Debt Negotiation
- Car Negotiation
- Salary Negotiation
- Law Negotiation
- Conflict Management
- Basics of Negotiation
Personalize It
The most valuable asset you can bring to your blog is YOU. Use your personal experience to appeal to the heart of your readers. If you are a novice negotiator, tell stories about your journey to becoming an expert. If you negotiate professionally, blog about your experience negotiating with other experts in the field. The point is to find your own style and your own voice to ultimately captivate your audience and leave them wanting more.
Share Successes and Failures
“There is much to be said for failure. It is much more interesting than success.”—Max Beerbohm
It is imperative that you share with your readers not only when you have succeeded, but also when you have failed. Without failure there would be no success. If you allow your readers to see past the professional facade you may exude, and into the part of you that is human, they will be much more likely to relate to what you write and even learn from your mistakes.
