I tell folks all the time that they, and that is both the collective and individual, should write a blog. The reasons for this have to do with online search engines and ranking and Often folks give me a long list of reasons that they don’t/won’t do it and I guess that the old Henry Ford saying is correct… Some folks say they can and others say they can’t, and their both right.
If you are interested in blogging but don’t know where to start I did find this great resource that can help. First, there is a great article on how to write a blog in 20 minutes. Most often the reason most people do not blog or partake in other things of that nature is the time. Often they think it will take hours and days to write something when in fact once you are going it can be a quick thing to post. I find that the most important thing for me is to TAKE the time to blog. Of course sometimes I take an hour but most times I can whip out a few on Monday and schedule them for later in the week. And I might spend an hour doing at least a couple. Then if I get inspired I can write one mid week and then I have even more content for my blog.
If you don’t know where to start you can try John Kitts at City Scope or Dan Stone at 360Village. For less than you think they can get you up and running.
So take some time and start blogging. It really can be fun and exciting.
