My reading on the topic of Social Media concludes, it is in general the sharing of thoughts, experiences, knowledge and beauty via the internet. This sharing is viewed through social media sources, such as Twitter, Facebook, Email and the topic of this particular discussion…Blogging.
“Blogging has been the greatest breakthrough in popular journalism since Tom Paine,” Arianna Huffington, HuffPo’s founder, writes in her introduction. The blogosphere, she adds, is the “most vital news source in the country.”
What at first glance seems to be a simple diary, open to the public, actually has quite the systematic structure for best results. Tricks of this trade in order to be successful (reach the masses) are pretty straight forward. By blogging consistently, you give Google and other search engines new content to index and you create opportunities to plug in those all-important keywords to increase your visibility on search engine results pages. Staying on top of your visitors by reviewing and responding to readers’ comments, you can create a rapport with your audience, build trust, and gain valuable insight into what your customers are looking for. Bloggers should establish themselves firm from the beginning. Their views (or if business) products should be clear and precise so their audience begin to rely on them as a go-to source.
It seems to be all about constant communication…through computerized networks. Hence the phrase “Social Media”.
