Even in this day of fast moving social networking the Blog is still the absolute center of the social media universe. Yes, blogging is still relevant and will continue to be as long as consumers come to the internet looking for credible information. All indications show the economy is forcing more people to use the internet to find this information so it is a safe bet Blogs and Blogging is going to remain on center stage for a long time.
The bottomline: If you are not blogging you are going to be passed by in today’s consumer driven economy.
Blogging Back In Vogue
The need for businesses to have a blog site has started a new resurgence in social networking. Consumers are looking beyond the well designed business web-sites to find information on who is running the company and what they have to say. Business blogs are quickly becoming a standard in what consumers search online.
The reemergence of the blog has caught a lot of people off guard who have been spending an inordinate amount of time in the social spaces online. These business people are not producing as much as they were told they would by being on Twitter and Facebook so they are now looking for how to get started in blogging. This is resulting in many newbies to the blogsphere taking a direction leading them to spending large amounts of money on fancy looking blogs to find what, how and where they are blogging is not accomplishing anything.
Blogs are very important. Blogs show:
- Who Someone Really is
- How someone thinks on a subject
- Identify solutions a business maybe having
- More detail on how a product or service is offered
- Answers to questions consumers may have about the person or business.
Still, many business get off on the wrong foot thinking the Blog is just another type of promotional web-site. Many businesses are not willing to take the time it takes to provide consistent information or keep their blog site updates. The result..failure which leads to disgruntlement about social media and social networking.
Get a Good Start
To help get wannabe bloggers off on the correct foot I have developed a Blog Start-Up Kit which I personally administer. I too was a newbie to the blogsphere and unfortunately was not exposed to anyone who was interested in helping me until I ventured off down the wrong roads of blogging. Since then I have developed my knowledge of blogging from the school of hard knocks along with building trustworthy learning friendships with many of the more experienced bloggers online.
Now, it is time for me to those interested in finding out the correct way to start Blogging before draining their wallet to find out they did it wrong. My Blog Start-Up Kit walked a blogger through the entire set up of a blog and teaches them to take control of their own destiny my managing their own site instead of being held hostage by others.
Find out more on how this works during my 30 minute blogger evaluation chat I have to determine what type of blog would work for you. Contact me through this blog to schedule you Skype call.
