Blogs teach us many new and exciting ideas.
They can even teach us how to build a better mouse trap.
Business blogger Paul Woodhouse, with his metal fabrication industry news blog called The Tinbasher Blog, does exactly that.
Using a soup can, a rubber band, and a few rods, Paul shows us how to build that proverbial "better mouse trap". Of course, to get the people to beat the proverbial "path to your door", a bit of good old fashioned marketing is also required. We'll leave that discussion for another day, however.
Of course, with Paul Woodhouse, we are talking about a blogger who gets orders to custom design a working guillotine. I suppose a few revolutionaries are looking for an instant replay of the French Revolution of 1789.
More importantly, that unusual business story got picked up by other blogs, including the popular The Big Blog Company.
The lesson there, of course, is interesting blog posts get picked up, and commented upon, by other bloggers. The viral effect attracts more readers and incoming links, that in turn, increase the blog readership even more.
In other words, the interesting and unusual gets you more readers.
For the practical person around the home, Paul also tells us how to clean stainless steel, using ordinary baby oil.
Who said blogs didn't have practical applications to our daily lives, whether a person is a blogger, or a blog spectator.
After that lengthy, and rather unorthodox introduction, steel yourselves for a visit to an interesting and surprisingly entertaining business blog, called The Tinbasher blog.
Paul Woodhouse shares the tremendous idea that blogging, about what could be a rather dull area of business, need not be boring. At first glance, the idea of a blog about the metal fabrication industry sounds...well...rather tinny and dull.
As a business blogger, Paul Woodhouse does a great job of combining news about the metal industry, with some very unique and interesting stories and anecdotes.
How can you go wrong with a business blog that includes posts about mouse traps and guillotines?
Take a read of The Tinbasher Blog.
You'll learn how to combine useful information about your industry area, with light hearted posts of interest to a wider audience.
The Tinbasher Blog teaches us those lessons very well.
