I have previously discussed how entrepreneurs should use a blog to build their personal brand and I have provided some examples of entrepreneur blog posts. Here are a few more examples of entrepreneur blog posts:
The Human Resources Blog:
- Offering retirement savings for a small business: This would be an article talking about how an entrepreneur implemented a 401k savings program for a small business. The stories could include advice on how to choose a 401k provider, what percentage of salary a small business should match and how to talk to employees about the program.
- Benefits programs for small businesses: This would talk about the different benefits programs (healthcare, insurance) available for small businesses. It would talk about the different providers, how to understand the industry lingo and how to make the essential benefit program for a small business.
- Hiring/firing in a startup: Talk about the differences in hiring/firing in a startup as opposed to a more established business.
The Financial Analyst/CFO Blog
– How to manage cash flow in a startup: This would talk about the different ways to forecast cash flow in a startup and talk about the importance of keeping a startup’s burn rate under control.
- How to create financial reports in a startup: This would talk about the different financial reports which are most essential to a CFO and CEO in a small business/startup. The articles would also talk about the differences between the reports in smaller and larger businesses.
- Which software to use for helping to analyze a startup’s finances: This would talk about the various financial software programs available for startups. This could tie into how it creates specific and essential financial reports mentioned previously.
The Office Manager Blog
