DC Social Media Examiner (DCSME): What is your blog about?
Curtez Riggs (CDR): Life After The Army, introduces the concepts of personal branding to Service Members preparing to transition from the Military. We’re helping them to take baby steps, while translating their experiences into a format that’s relevant to today’s job market.
DCSME: How did you pick the topic for Life After The Army?
CDR: Over the years, I’ve watched several of my peers leave the military totally unprepared for the civilian sector. Of course, they’ve been through ACAP, and all of the other mandatory transition programs; understand how to write a resume, and can sit at attention during a potential interview. They’re just as prepared as the rest of the unemployed veterans actively seeking employment… The problem is that because they were unable to stand out, their resumes got lost in the shuffle.
DCSME: How is Life After The Army different from other blogs that cover the same or similar information?
CDR: Most of the other Personal Branding Blogs offer assistance to the general public. We’re providing needed information to Service Members and Veterans in a language that they understand, without a pitch… We’re finding that our content is better received because we’re walking in the shoes of other Service Members.
DCSME: What do you like most about blogging?
CDR: Knowing that there’s someone out there taking notes and applying the lessons learned from my blog. I enjoy receiving emails; more so emails from readers who are interested in learning more. It helps validate our work at Life After The Army.
DCSME: How often do you update Life After The Army?
CDR: We will be updating the blog every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning. We like to give our followers something relevant to read before they begin their day.
DCSME: What else would you like to share with readers of your profile?
CDR: I’ve been serving in the US Army since 1997. Currently I work out of Fort Meade, MD serving as a Master Trainer for the Baltimore Recruiting Battalion.

Blog: Creative Ramblings
Cendrine Marrouat’s blog is self-hosted on WordPress.
DC Social Media Examiner (DCSME): What is your blog about?
Cendrine Marrouat (CM): Creative Ramblings is about social media with a particular focus on independent artists and entrepreneurs, rather than big businesses.
DCSME: How did you pick the topic for Creative Ramblings?
CM: When I started my career as an independent artist, I quickly realized that the road to good exposure is paved with challenges. As I had no one to guide me in the right direction, I chose not to wait for success to find me.
I started doing a lot of research and actually enjoyed my finds. As I discovered Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn and learnt to use other social networking sites, I realized that social media was becoming unavoidable.
When I had acquired sufficient knowledge on the topic, I started sharing through discussions with people. They advised me to start blogging, which I did. And now, I cannot live without it!
DCSME: How is Creative Ramblings different from other blogs that cover the same or similar information?
CM: My blog is unique in the sense that I offer a no-nonsense and honest approach based on my personal experience.
I like to create articles and tutorials that are easy for people to understand — something that I have enjoyed doing since my days as a teacher.
DCSME: What do you like most about blogging?
CM: I love the freedom that blogging brings. There is neither deadline no contract. I can write whenever I want and share my thoughts on any topic relevant to my niche.
Most people do not realize how important blogging is when it comes to building a solid reputation online.
DCSME: How often do you update Creative Ramblings?
CM: I try to do it four or five times a week. However, I also have three other blogs. Further, I hold six titles with Examiner.com, including Canada Social Media Examiner. So juggling with everything can be quite challenging…
DCSME: What else would you like to share with readers of your profile?
CM: Apart from blogging, I am also a freelance journalist/reviewer, published author and translator.
I am always interested in spotlighting independent artists and experts in the social media field, so contact me.

Holly Reisem Hanna (HH): The Work at Home Woman is an award winning blog and business resource for women and moms who wish to work from home or become self employed. My mission is to help women and moms acquire the knowledge and skills to be able to successfully work from home or to become self-employed while providing support, inspiration and motivation.
DCSME: How did you pick the topic for The Work at Home Woman?
HH: Since the day my daughter was born, I’ve been a stay at home mom, but after nine months of play-dates and mommy and me classes, I felt the need to exercise my brain and make some money.
I knew that I didn’t want to put her in daycare, so I started looking online for various work-at-home opportunities. Disappointed with the number of scams and lack of quality resources out there, I decided to create a free community, where women and moms could go to find legitimate work-at-home ideas and opportunities.
DCSME: How is The Work at Home Woman different from other blogs that cover the same or similar information?
HH: More than a website, The Work at Home Woman is a highly trusted online community where women and moms can come together to share ideas, obtain information and gather support. More than just a blog, we provide extensive resources, ideas, job listings and content. And more than just another online resource, we truly care about the success of our readers and advertisers and personally work with them to build successful outcomes.
DCSME: What do you like most about blogging?
HH: I love the social interaction, I’ve met so many wonderful people that I would not have met had I not been blogging.
DCSME: How often do you update The Work at Home Woman?
HH: I update my blog 6 times a week, I take weekends off.
