Still on the Fence about Blogging?

Are you still on the fence about blogging?

Aware of its importance, but not sure if you have time to blog, or how to get started and stick with it?

Do you hesitate to express yourself in writing, or wonder if anyone will read what you have written?

Words are as important in communication and persuasion as ever, but now they can be delivered even more effectively through voice and video. And blogs can easily accommodate voice and video.

See for yourself by listening to what several experts have to say about blogging and social media.

Listen to Seth Godin and Tom Peters enthusiastic endorsement of blogging in Let's hear it for the blog, on the Open Forum.

 

Listen to Daniel Priestly deliver inspiring and insightful views on the present and future of social media, the online powershift, and what it means for each of us to blog, podcast, and videocast our personal views online.

PBS in cooperation with Wharton Business School recently released a report that voted the Internet to be the most important innovation in the last 30 years, and Social Networking was ranked to be the 20th most important innovation on the list of the top 30 innovations. 

Blogging is one of the most powerful tools of social media, and an increasingly important part of personal and business branding.

How to get started in blogging

Although blogging can range from free to very inexpensive, it does take a power boost to launch yourself into the blogosphere. You can set up a blog for free and start posting in a few minutes, but without some guidance you may find that you quickly run out of ideas, lose direction, lack originality in design, or find that you attract more spam than you imagined possible.

William, I know how to say "thank you" in Japanese, but I don't know how to write it... Since I'm writing from Mexico, let me say "Muchas gracias!" instead. It was wonderful working with you, and wonderful to see you so inspired and active in the Blogosphere. Blog on!
