How little can you blog for business?
An interesting question came up yesterday on an email discussion forum:
how LITTLE can I blog before being considered ‘not serious’. Right now I try to blog on Tuesdays and Fridays about a variety of my subjects (some humorous, some thought-provoking, some serious). I am getting followers in dribs and drabs, and good comments on the blogs, but not many of either. I try to put in good effort on the posts and provide value; but would love to make a wider impact than I am able to do now.
This is my view:
You always don’t need to blog, sometimes just leaving insightful comments on other similar blogs would result in good traffic – having a co-blogger to post also might help – so that it becomes a shared responsibility and not a burden.
The other question you’d like to answer is – what is the objective of blogging for you?
- Is it finding clients?
- or freelance consultants?
- or building a community of like minded professionals?
- or being considered an ’eminent expert’?
- or for Search Engine Optimization?
Depending on what your objective is you’d need to approach blogging in that way.
Blog Networks on Facebook
Facebook has a really cool blog related app called Blog Networks. If you’ve added it to your FB apps I hope you can confirm that I’m the author by clicking on this blog’s page here.
My management and HR Consulting blog thankfully is in a much better shape and its page on the FB Blog Networks’ app is here. You can join the community of readers as well as add stuff on the wall! The blog also has a big community on MyBlogLog.
These two tools are great for new bloggers who are starting out, to create a community of readers and to put faces to names 🙂
