Blog Along The Way

Hello, today I want to share about blogging.  Believe it or not blogging is a form of social media and just like any social media you can use it to express your brand depending on what you like. There is blogging about movies, video games, cooking, fashion, gardening, music, and any topic you can think of.  Blogging is a free service that allows people to write and express themselves.  

Blogs can be used for multiple uses. Most businesses work to maintain an updated blog to communicate news with their audience related to all things related to the company. People enjoy using blogs as a personal diary to their everyday life.  Some people create blogs to write about a particular topic that they are very passionate about.  Sometimes these passionate blogs can be found and can result in positive results.

A student in my social media class showed us a blog his friend did related to all things related to the American band, My Chemical Romance.  She was a devoted fan of the band and reported on everything going on in the band.  You could tell from her layout and her different posts, that she had put a great deal of effort and time into her blog. Her blog become so big that the band heard about it and invited her to meet the band and do an interview, just from writing about a band that she loved so much.

Now you might think “How can I get my blog to be so well known that a band finds it and contacts me”, well it’s not that easy.  You want to find a particular subject that you’re passionate about and then try to develop a niche topic related to your subject matter.  Let’s say you enjoy watching movies. Great, except movies are a very broad topic, you should try to narrow your topic from all movies. Let’s say you’re a fan of independent and comedy movies, then that should be your blog topic: Independent Comedies.

After you determine your topic, you should find a creative title that will stick out in a search engine.  Once you start writing and making particular tags in your blogs, you should have no problem attracting a large enough audience to your blog. I hope my advice has helped you begin considering a niche topic for your next blog. Please leave comments and let me hear from you about your blogs.
