Should You Get A Blog?
Blog EntrepreneurQ: Can you get married by blog' A: Now that I've got your attention! Actually you can, at least Eric and Kathleen consider they did, thanks to an obscure law in Texas ..... A blog is a type of website. It allows the website owner to easily write
messages that get posted to the site automatically, often in a journal or
diary-like style. A particularly appealing thing about blogs is that your
readers can comment back to your posts fairly easily, and a continuous
stream of fresh conversations result. (This is a good thing.)
Here are three reasons to consider getting a blog:
1.To Replace Your Ezine
If you currently publish an ezine, you may wish to consider replacing it
with a regularly published blog. This means using your blog to publish
journal entries, and then when it comes time to communicate with your
subscriber list, you excerpt some items from your blog, and send those out
as your ezine. This saves you from creating special articles only for your ezine. In many cases it becomes easier for you to write in blog format (short and sweet) so you save time.
Readers enjoy the practical, "reporter-like" nature of blogs instead of
ezines, and gradually come to feel that they are in conversation with you on
a daily basis. You become part of their everyday circle of friends and
associates, which leads to you becoming their natural resource on the topic
of your expertise.

2. To Create a Quick and Dirty Learning Environment or e-Campus
For those who offer TeleClasses or other programs that want to have a
web page of learning resources, links, class notes and audio, etc., a blog
can be a great way to bring together an e-Campus.
If you offer a workshop, coaching/consulting, or even a software solution, and you want to instantly add value to your clients, create a
"client/student resource page" using a blog. This becomes an environment
that the students can play in, study more, and soak up your materials. Your
clients continue to benefit from your expertise even though you're not
physically there; they do it at their pace, and at little cost to you.
Once again, because blogging makes it easy for you to continually update
your website without mucking around with FrontPage or DreamWeaver, you will
save time and energy publishing to the Internet.
