The Power of Blogs
Blogs stormed the cover of Business Week on May 2nd 2005. The eye catching title Blogs Will Change Your Business drew in both the blog weary and coverts. Who in the world wants their rivals to have the upperhand in a breakthrough business method? Essentially what Stephan Baker and Heather Green were getting at is how a simple online past-time similar to journal keeping has caused a tremendous craze in the world of business. With companies such as GM and Microsoft pouring serious energy into their own blogs, the simple online past-time has become a prized trade secret.
So what is a Blog anyway?
Blogs are online journals or Op-Ed websites that deliver the news, events, etc. with a personal touch. A blogs lack of formality is what wins over the hearts of visitors. A blog could be a one-person show or a team of dedicated researchers working outside the norm. Howard Dean proved the power of blogs when he paved the way for a near grass-roots supported presidencial election. The blogosphere (as some wish to call it) is a information super highway that is causing businesses around the world to reevaluate the way they promote themselves.
A blog is a website that will allow you to speak with a different voice--take a more personal approach with your customers. For one, it will allow your customers to know you better and develop a bond or customer loyalty. Blogging can be an excellent promotional tool for advertising a business or product, but the approach is very different. The reason for this is because the blog itself must be attractive by itself to be effective. The blog must contain something of interest for your targeted audience. At the same time, running a blog will allow you to better understand your audience.
There are many types of blogs: political ones, techie network blogs, op-ed online mags, personal blogs, personal interest blogs, etc. etc. Approximately 40,000 new blogs are started everyday. Each has a new subject, as well as, it's own approach. Many technologists and strategists feel that the blog "movement" are going to turn the world of mass media upside down. Business Week states boldly: "The divide between the publishers and the public is collapsing....It creates media of the masses." For many strategists, this is not mere optimism--it is the present-future. Don't look ahead! Look here and now!
