The Benefits of Blog
February 8th, 2010 | by rarzi |The Benefits of Blog
A blog (a contraction of the term “web log”) is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog. (wikipedia)
What are the benefits of creating a blog? I tried to write the benefits of blogs in this article:
* Self-actualization Media
One of the human needs is to be recognized. To be noticed. To show who he is. What was he thinking, what the concern is, what is interesting for him, what he enjoys, what he hates, what he thoughts and what he wanted. Blog able to facilitate this. With blogs everybody can actualize themselves in various media (text, image, graphic, video, audio, slide presentations, etc.) which can be accessed by the people all over the world in a network that connected to the internet.
* Personal Branding
Personal Branding or self-positioning. Position yourself based on what you can do. Making people think of you when they are confronted with certain problems. With blogs and the right strategy you can tell everyone in the world (which is connected to the Internet) what your expertise and why they should contact you when they think of one problem to solve.
* Media Campaign
Blog placed in Internet network. With the right strategy (SEO + SMM + Other Techniques) you can bring Internet users to your blog and make them read what you are promoting.
* Getting a New Relationship
It is the nature that people are always looking for other people who have similar interests. Start a blog about the topic you are interested and visitors who are interested in the same subject with you will come to you. They could comment on the article on your blog and can respond. Conversations happening there, and opened opportunities for the relationship.
* Monetizing
You can earn money from your blog via Google Adsense advertising services, or to sell banner spots.
* Stress Release, Emotion Release
Sometimes we just want to vent what we feel. Sometimes boredom and sometimes happiness. More exciting if there are responding to what we feel is not it?
* Media for Sharing
Sometimes we just want to share what we know, share the good or share knowledge. If you want to share it with others blogs can facilitate your desire to share.
* Your Life Journal Notes
Write down everything you feel and publish in your blog. One day in your life later on, read back what you’ve written. Most people laughed when I read what they wrote first. Sprout back old memories
* Getting feedback on What You Feel
The majority of blog has a comments feature on each article. This is to facilitate people to respond to what you write. Opinions of others are one thing that’s valuable in life?
