Where have I been for the last few years? What have I been doing? It took me all this time and 2 years in college to figure out how to blog! I heard about it, read some, but never went any farther than that. Three months into our Social Media class and here I am! Just to find out how out of it I was I found some of the cold, hard facts from blogworldexpo: "Over 12 million American adults currently maintain a blog. * More than 147 million Americans use the Internet. * Over 57 million Americns read blogs. * 1.7 million American adults list making money as one of the reasons they blog. * 89% of companies surveyed say they think blogs will be more important in the next five years. * 9% of internet users say they have created blogs . * 6% of the entire US adult population has created a blog . * Technorati is currently tracking over 70 million blogs . * over 120 thousand blogs are created every day . * There are over 1.4 million new blog posts every day . * 22 of the 100 most popular websites in the world are blogs . * 120,000 new blogs are created every day . * 37% of blog readers began reading blogs in 2005 or 2006 . * 51% of blog readers shop online . * Blog readers average 23 hours online each week."
OK, I admit it! I love blogging! What I need is more time. How do all of these 12 million American adults do it? I must be doing something wrong. How can we possibly keep up with all of this information? From blog-services I found the top ten most important things to remember about Blogs:
1. Post on a regular basis
2. Be Original
3. Let your personality shine through!
4. Humor! Make 'em laugh.
5. Diversity - Reach out to many people.
6. Social Networking - Use them all: Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook
7. Collaboration - Connect with your online friends.
8. Promotion - Use all forums and comment on other blogs.
9. Other media outlets - podcasting.
10. Have fun- if you're not having fun, forget it!
What's your secret for a successful blogging experience??????????????????????
