To Blog, or not to Blog

Lisa — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 18:55:23 +0000

Blogging is fun. Blogging is informative. Blogging can make you cash. A blog is also the foundation of a successful Social Marketing campaign.

The best way I can define a blog is that it is like an online column in the newspaper. It is primarily one person who is an expert about certain subject reporting information or ideas on a regular basis. There is also the option for people to register to comment on your blog.
The whole point of a blog is to be a resource for people who are interested in you, your product, or your service. Twitter and Facebook come in handy to let your target market know when you have added to your Blog.
Blogs can be on your website or away from your website. There are benefits to both. Blogging away from your website creates links to your website, which is always a plus. But if I had my druthers, I’d create a blog on my website. Blogs are constantly changing, constantly growing, and if that is on your website, it is instant Google Juice.
Another option is using a custom Wordpress Blog as a site. It is a great idea if you are a startup on a small budget and have a lot to offer your target audience.
We like to use Wordpress blog platforms and recommend the following things:
Use your own URL and have it hosted away from Wordpress- You want the content in your blog to be yours. Also if you have our blog hosted you can download plug ins for SEO, Paypal, calendars, shopping carts, and just about any application you can think of.
Do your keyword research and use those words- It is also a great idea to add data like Meta descriptions, Page titles and keywords to every post. You can do this by downloading the Platinum SEO pack.
Add Twitter Tools and Publish to Facebook plug ins to automatically broadcast to your friends, fans and followers. You may want to deactivate the Facebook plug in while you are editing or making a lot of posts, since it updates with every edit, takes you straight to Facebook and leaves you there.

Twitter Search Puts You in Control

Twitter Search is a quick, effective way to find out who is talking about what you are interested in, and get followers that will Tweet about what you want to hear about. This leads to followers that bring value.

Getting Started With Twitter

The key to Twitter effectiveness is controlling your followers and who you follow, and selecting the updates that you want to receive and when. You can block people, and control whether or not the updates they send are sent to your mobile device.
Twitter, like any tool. Is not about what it does. It is about what you do with it.
Explaining and defining the value of Twitter varies from case to case. My friend who is a Doctor of Oriental medicine has a following of doctors and medical professionals. She blogs about case studies, advances in herb logy, and successes from dual treatment of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western medicine. When she blogs, she Tweets about her Blog. The medical professionals that are interested in reading about the case study then know that she has written and check out her blog. It’s an effective way for her to stay in front of her target audience.
So how did she find those followers? She started by creating her profile using key words about her practice. The she used the search window to find other health care professionals tweeting about medical issues, or asking for alternative medicine advice. Then she followed them. They noticed her following them, checked out her blog, and most of them followed her because she wrote about things that were relevant to their practices. Soon she was in direct contact with Chiropractors, Health Practitioners like massage therapists, and Western Medical Doctors who were open to Traditional Chinese Medicine.
The result? They started to refer patients to her and her practice grew. And the patients that were sent were long term patients that she was successful with.
An effective, highly optimized blog is the foundation of any Twitter or Social Media campaign. For help on setting up a blog, customizing and optimizing it, visit http://www.group5web.com/pricing/get-a-blog.
