Discover The Power Of Blogging
Copyright 2005 Jason Tarasi
The dark circles under his eyes are evidence that he has been
pecking away at the keyboard again. Night after night he sits,
mesmerized by the computer screen surfing forum after forum
filling the blank spaces with his comments and opinions about
senseless issues, political debates, religious matters, business
strategies and shopping options. All the while his marriage is
deteriorating, his children are growing up and away, his
business is wavering on the brink of bankruptcy, spiritual
matters are being neglected, all to which he is oblivious.
One day he happens upon an internet forum about blogging. "What
in the world is blogging?" he wonders.
Suddenly he becomes enthralled with a new mission. He has to get
to the bottom of this. With all the time he has spent on the
internet communicating with people throughout the world, he has
never heard of blogging. He wants to learn everything there is
to know about it...
Blogging is a relatively new phenomenon that is truly undefined
due to the fact that it is not yet what it will become.
Currently weblogs teeter on the edges of interactive journalism
vs. personal archiving and information sharing. Different
bloggers have varying purposes and goals. Some aim to record
their thoughts, some to share resources and information and some
to tell stories. Blogging has also been used as a tool for
educating readers and for providing customer service and
communications as well as serving as a tool for self-expression.
With Google's introduction of the AdSense content-targeted
advertising program, you can even generate some revenue from
your blog as you get paid per click for Google Ads accessed from
your blog. Don't
create a blog on the premise that you're going
to get rich from advertising payments or you may be sorely
disappointed. Rather, view the ad program as an added bonus for
the time spent filling your blog with useful content, or as
getting paid a little for doing something you enjoy.
The best way to get started blogging is just to jump in and get
your feet wet. Decide what you want to accomplish through your
blog. Is it a tool for getting things off your chest? Sharing
your thoughts and feelings? Providing information? Tracking
events?
Reading through various blogs will provide you with some ideas
for your blogs purpose and for developing your writing style.
Find a blogging medium that you are comfortable with. There are
some options out there for free blogs and there are some paid
services that are very reasonable, some for commercial and some
for non-commercial use.
Probably the quickest and easiest way to start your own blog is
to use a hosted service like Blogger - http://www.blogger.com..
Getting started with Blogger is a three step process that you
can take care of right now. You simply create an account, name
your blog and choose a template and you'll be ready to get
started making blog entries. Once you get comfortable with the
basic process of blogging, be sure to visit the "Help" section
of the Blogger website to learn more about advanced uses and
blogging options.
