Why Blogs Are #1 In Social Media
Ten years ago blogs were used as web logs or online journals. What made blogs different is, of course, everyone can see them. Blogs became the most social of all websites and have grown to over 70 million and have surpassed static web pages making blogs the most important social media platform in social media marketing, to say the least.
In fact, if you listen you’ll hear just about every social media guru say, “If you don’t have a blog you don’t exist online”. In other words, without a blog you can forget about being the life of the social media party and settle for being “that guy” that keeps showing up. No one knows where he came from and where he goes back to once the parties end.
So why a blog and what makes it the cornerstone of social media? The natural social flow of online traffic starts at Twitter and flows from Youtube and Facebook to ultimately ends up at your blog. Every other social platform is shared with millions of other faces while your social media blog, on the other hand, is all about you “featuring” some guest.
You see,your tweets (Twitter headlines) and videos (Youtube TV) and socializing (Facebook Lifestyle) are for the purposes of promoting your BLOG (which is all these sites rolled into one). All your content (posts, videos, pics etc) should actually be syndicated from your blog to the virtual world. I guess you can say that social media all comes down to understanding the core principle of the Social Flow Of Things. I recommend that before you go wasting your time, energy and a lot of money download Eric Williams, creator of the Push Button Social Media Money System and get his free handmade “Flowchart.” Or maybe you just want instant access to short training videos on Twitter, Facbook, Youtube and, of course, blogs.
The moral of this story is don’t be the jerk at the social media party. Party and socialize but be sure you have a place to lay your head online and if you don’t you just might be “that guy” flashing your opportunity every time you hear the word hello.
