This clip is from Great Day St. Louis on CBS KMOV 4 where I talk monthly on hot topics in technology and business.
Ahhh blogging. Probably the BEST opportunity there is right now in the do-it-yourself marketing and promotion world.
On Great Day St. Louis, I discussed the very basics along with some of my favorite St. Louis blogs including Urban Review STL and MyMommyManual.
Even though there HAS to be a better name for it. To me, blogging just sounds relatively old school because of the ways blogs “were.”
Blogs used to be places where:
-Teenagers would only write random thoughts.
-It was not viewed as interesting simply a journal.
-All business blogs were press releases and updated maybe once a month if we were all “lucky.” (Unfortunately this is still WAY too true in some cases)
-Video was not an option.
-Audio was not an option.
-It was not easy.
Now:
Everything is easy. WordPress makes it that way.
Blogs have become media and not just random thoughts. Beautiful design. Compelling content. More reflecting an interactive magazine than a blog of the past.
Plus it is never been easier to add audio and video if you choose.
Which begs the question as we evolve: Is there a better name than blogging?
