This weeks post is based on a video that I watched on Social Media Examiner. It was an interview with Dareen Rowse. He is the co-author of the best selling book ProBlogger. It was a super cool video (about 7 min long) that discussed the latest trends that Darren has noticed. He also discussing how to use your blog effectively. Finally, he also metions some news/tips on Facebook. These are real tips from a real pro!!
One of the key points he talks about is making sure that you have content worth blogging about. If you don't have anything to talk about, then wait!! After he mentioned that, he then discussed about how you need to get off your blog once you have establish content and start interacting with the people you are trying to target. What he means by this is you need to find out where your readers/target readers are 'hanging out' on the web and join them! This gives you the insight into what your readers want to discuss.
His main point for the use of Facebook is to make sure that it flows with your social media marketing objectives. DON'T JUST USE IT TO USE IT! If it fits, then use it. If not, then don't.
Short post this week, but I will let you check the video out and let it speak for itself.
Cool blog, Rob! This reminds me of one of my friends from high school at Boston College. I follow her blog - but that's probably because she doesn't post all the time about worthless stuff. She posts once a week and generally it's about music that she has been into and suggestions for her readers. Good thoughts!
ReplyDeleteRob that was an insightful post, it’s true you should not just post something just to do it because your readers will not find what you have to say engaging. It is cool to see that there are pros out there to help with little hints and trick to help us out along the way.
