3 Benefits of Blogging

There's no getting around the fact that a wide variety of businesses can benefit from having a blog. Maybe not one hundred percent, but a big majority, especially when it comes to small and solo businesses. For those of you who are new to the blogging world and you're not sure what should be happening, let's talk a little bit about what those benefits are. While your exact mileage may vary as they say, here are a just a few things a blog can do for you and your business:
1. Easy Updates
If you want to make customers aware of special events, changes or news, blogs are one of the easiest ways to do it. Compared to a static site that your webmaster likely has to update for you, posting in a blog is just about as easy as writing email. A few clicks, some typing and you're done.
2. Getting to Know You
More often than not, people want to know a fair amount about who they're doing business with. How often have you heard of a new restaurant, salon or artist and then popped online to check them out before actually visiting? You may have even done this if you got a referral from a friend. Having a blog is a great way to let people get to know who you are and what you do. It is easy to share everything from tips to photos, stories and samples to show people why they need to choose you over anyone else. It's also a great chance to showcase your personality. Are you or is your business quirky, sweet, a little edgy? Make sure your blog reflects who you really are and that will help those who appreciate those qualities know they're in the right place.
3. Stand Out
Even though millions of blogs are added to the web each year, and it seems like everyone has them, in fact, not everyone does. This can be especially true for those who sell products verses services. If a lot of your competitors don't have one, that's all the more reason for you to have one. Why? First, because you can showcase your expertise. That adds another layer to the like and trust factor compared to someone who only has product and pitches on their site. Depending on your niche, your blog could also become a central point of reference for customers interested in your product. If they feel they can rely on your information, they'll also likely see your products as worthwhile as well. As you can see, a blog can be a time saver, a showcase, as well as an edge above the competition, and that's just the beginning. If you aren't seeing those benefits yet, don't give up. Keep learning and trying and you'll be on your way to success in no time.

A Beginner's Portrait Into the World of Blogging

Unless you are one of those people who tend to stick their heads in the sand, ostrich-wise, there are not many computer savvy people who don't know what a blog is. However, for the ostriches amongst you, a blog is an online journal where any person online, if they choose to, can write about their experiences, concerns, opinions and ideas and then post this personal record online where all the world can read it. Nowadays there are innumerable blogging sites, specific websites designated to publishing personal blogs and nothing else.
All Blogs are Different
Blogging has come a long way since it was first introduced. There are many blogging websites which have the facilities to include your audio or video files with your blogs. As you read through lots of different blogging sites you will notice one thing that all blogs have in common: that is, they are all different! They each follow different text layouts, a range of styles and a choice of formats, as well as using a diversity of settings.
You are the Author
When you write a blog for publication the final choice as to how it looks after publication is up to the writer - i.e. the blogger: in other words, YOU! So, when you write your blog, include pictures, hyperlinks, unbroken texts, audio, video - whatever you want to include to personalize those thoughts and opinions you are intent on putting into online print. You may prefer to record your thoughts and ideas as words rather than writing it down and then add this audio recording to your blog. This kind of blog is called audio blogging.
The Shape of your Blog
Templates designed to be used for blogging are essentially very simple and you can add new pages without having to perform mental calisthenics! Each template has been designed to fulfill specific settings so that it is extremely easy for bloggers to get on with blogging which is what they are interested in and forget about the complicated bits. Almost all blog template designs have fixed spaces for you to slot into place your title. There is then space left for you to insert your actual blog.
Incorporated into this part of the page is a place for backtracks which enables other websites to link back to the blog you are writing. Each blog you write acquires its own URL once it has been written and published. This is referred to as a permanent link. Finally, at the end of your blog the template allows for comments, offering readers a means to post any comments they might have back to you so you can take on board what your readers might be saying about the subject you have written about, or even how they feel about you - the writer of this particular blog.
A Choice of Templates
Of course, to blog you do not actually need to use a pre-defined template but, if you are new to the world of blogging, then you will certainly find there are certain advantages to choosing an appropriate template design. Nowadays, all the blogging websites - and there are many of them - offer the prospective blogger a wide range and diversity of template designs; one for every situation, in fact.
How to Get Published
Getting published is as easy as falling off a log - no matter how much of a novice you are to the blogging fraternity. Simply 'Google' blogging websites and then take your pick as to which ones to join. Your first step really is in choosing which websites you wish to deign with your web presence. Immediately your membership has been approved - a mere formality - you will be a fully accepted member of that particular blogging community.
This enables you to peruse through the blogs supplied by fellow members of this community, incorporate those blogs into yours through embedded linking as well as being able to offer your own comments, opinions and criticisms to any blog you have read within the community you are now a member of. Furthermore, you have full and equal rights within this community to write your own blog and have it published.
Specific Themes
For those of you who follow a specific sport or who is an ardent supporter of a particular actor's career; maybe you are a Royalist and enjoy following the antics and nefarious activities of some of the more infamous members of the royal families around the world; or, perhaps you are of a more serious and academic style and have an inherent desire to read about all things medical: whatever your chosen interest, there is a blogging community specifically for you.
Once you have found that relevant community and become a member, you can read other blogs and write about your own interests within that specific theme to your heart's content. All blogs appertaining to that subject and topic matter will be accepted for publication. In fact, blogging has become an entrepreneur's paradise and an ideal way to market their goods and make money.
From Advertising to Education: blogging makes it happen!
You may have just had your very first novel printed - but, since your income from this novel is directly dependent on the number of books you sell, how do you get the word out? The answer is through blogging. Are you involved in direct marketing informational products online? Again, blogging is the answer to get the word out and about. In fact, there are few places where blogging fails to play its part.
Even in the world of higher education there are going to be students who, for one reason or another have missed a vital class. How do they catch up on the work they have missed? You've guessed it - following each class the lecturer arranges for their teaching blog to be updated, with a piece of the lecture presented in blog form for the benefit of missing students.
A Vital Means of Expression
Clearly the blogging phenomena has caught the imagination of everybody from politicians to policemen with just about every other person and his dog writing about their everyday lives and the antics of that said dog, along with blogs now heralded as an opportunity for revealing personal expression as well as keeping the art of writing alive and well. The majority of people treat their individual blogs as a personal rant and cant against the stress their daily lives generate, an opportunity to criticize the government and its policies and generally let off much-needed steam.
This vital means of expression creates a community of like-minded people who can all interact amongst the other people belonging to each blogging community, generating an online community that has replaced many of the social communities displaced by modern city regeneration and the mobile job market fracturing traditional societies as nets are cast far and wide in an ever-widening search for scarce and scant job opportunities.
Where Weblog Rules, there are no Rules
What started out as an online journal known as a weblog soon became abbreviated to blog as its popularity increased all over the world. Blogging communities became the normal way of addressing people's need to interact with others sharing a similar mind-set and similar opinions. Blogs became the 21st century's answer to man's need, as a social animal, to intermingle and exchange ideas with others. One of the benefits of blogging is the fact that there are no rules to inhibit either reader or writer of blogs.
The majority of blogging websites are free to use and, for the members of each blogging site, the word 'free' extends to the manner in which blogs are written. In other words, no format is considered wrong and, similarly no style or manner of writing is considered better or worse than any other. The true essence of a blog is to get the idea over to the reader; information the blog writer wants to impart is presented from the blog writer's heart: that is all that is important for the dedicated blogger.
Benefits of Blogging
The true benefits of blogging is that there are many of them and they are usually free to use. You can consult a blogging directory if you are concerned with finding specific themes. Themes will be organized and collated according to subject and theme, in much the same way that a business telephone directory is organized. Blogging is now such a widespread and popular activity that it is simple to get started and quite easy to find a suitable blogging community to belong to. In fact, you can join as many blogging communities as you want to, each with a different theme - or simply blog on a daily basis using a generic blogging site and the most basic template design. The fact of the matter is that blogging is intended to be straightforward and simple to get involved with and, overall, amongst the blogging communities, there are no rules to adhere to: happy blogging!
Peter Fitzgerald has been involved in online, affiliate and internet marketing for over seven years with various projects. He freely admits that he was knocking his head against the wall for the first three years. Success came to him some five years ago after taking a six month break in order to study the subject of online marketing with some of the leading authorities on the subject. Peter says: "Investing in my self to improve my worth to others is the most profitable thing I ever did." Peter now spends his time writing successful blogs and fully understands the meaning of blogging. He also enjoys article marketing, finds both activities compliment each other.

Analytical minded way of looking at things tend to be more detailed, specific, organized, and orderly. However, less able to understand the problem thoroughly. In working on tasks assigned, an Analytical will do its job on a regular basis, from one phase to the next. They have a tendency to do one task at a time, and will not work on another task before the first task is completed.
Analytical people need sufficient time to complete the task, because they do not want any one part was missing. People who have a way of thinking Analytical often think of something based on logic. In addition, they assess the facts that occurred more than feelings. They can find the facts, but often are not informed about the main idea, so sometimes they do not understand the meaning and purpose in doing something.They are very difficult to learn if there is interference, because usually his mind only focused on one issue only. To overcome this situation, should someone who has a way of thinking Analytical study alone, recently joined with friends to socialize after they finish studying.
A person who can work a maximum of Analytical dominant when there is a consistent and definite method of doing something, especially if they can create their own learning system. For the daily schedule helps an Analytical feel the structure and things that are predictable, so that they can determine and meet the goals are clear.

Global
People who think globally tend to see everything as a whole, with the big picture, however, they can see the relationship between one part with another part. Global People who can see things that are implied, and explaining the problems with his own words. They can see a lot of choices about work and can work on multiple tasks at once.
People who think Global may cooperate with others, be sensitive to others' feelings and flexible. They are happy to work hard to please others. Love to give and receive compliments, and even they tend to need more encouragement in starting work on something. They can take criticism personally. They will have difficulty having to explain things step by step. People who have a way of thinking globally dominant usually lacks neatness, even though they have a great desire to tidy it up, but often less accomplished his desire. To overcome this they should learn to simplify the system.
Global people's minds that the dominant could never focus on one issue, his mind can go many directions all the time. If the Global doing a task and there are new tasks that arise, then they will begin working on the second task, although his first job is not finished. To overcome this situation should they cooperate with others, with the promise of mutual help in completing the task before doing anything else. They will be easy to concentrate when there is someone who works with him. Procrastination is a real temptation for the Global, they need encouragement to begin their task.

Mengapa Orang Asia Kurang Kreatif Ketimbang Orang Barat

Prof. Ng Aik Kwang dari University of Queensland, dalam bukunya "Why Asians Are Less Creative Than Westerners" (2001) yang dianggap kontroversial tapi ternyata menjadi best seller (www.idearesort.com/trainers) mengemukakan beberapa hal tentang bangsa-bangsa Asia yang telah membuka mata dan pikiran banyak orang:
  1. Bagi kebanyakan orang Asia, dalam budaya mereka, ukuran sukses dalam hidup adalah banyaknya materi yang dimiliki (rumah, mobil, uang dan harta lain). Passion (rasa cinta thdp sesuatu) kurang dihargai. Akibatnya, bidang kreatifitas kalah populer oleh profesi dokter, lawyer, dan sejenisnya yang dianggap bisa lebih cepat menjadikan seorang utk memiliki kekayaan banyak.
  2. Bagi orang Asia, banyaknya kekayaan yg dimiliki lebih dihargai daripada CARA memperoleh kekayaan tersebut. Tidak heran bila lebih banyak orang menyukai ceritera, novel, sinetron atau film yang bertema orang miskin jadi kaya mendadak karena beruntung menemukan harta karun, atau dijadikan istri oleh pangeran dan sejenis itu. Tidak heran pula bila perilaku koruptif pun ditolerir diterima sebagai sesuatu yang wajar.
  3. Bagi orang Asia, pendidikan identik dengan hafalan berbasis "kunci jawaban" bukan pada pengertian. Ujian Nasional, tes masuk PT dll semua berbasis hafalan. Sampai tingkat sarjana, mahasiswa diharuskan hafal rumus2 Imu pasti dan ilmu hitung lainnya bukan diarahkan untuk memahami kapan dan bagaimana menggunakan rumus-rumus tersebut.
  4. Karena berbasis hafalan, murid2 di sekolah di Asia dijejali sebanyak mungkin pelajaran. Mereka dididik menjadi "Jack of all trades, but master of none" (tahu sedikit sedikit tentang banyak hal tapi tidak menguasai apapun).
  5. Karena berbasis hafalan, banyak pelajar Asia bisa jadi juara dalam Olympiade Fisika, dan Matematika. Tapi hampir tidak pernah ada org Asia yang menang Nobel atau hadiah internasional lainnya yg berbasis inovasi dan kreativitas.
  6. Orang Asia takut salah (KIASI) dan takut kalah (KIASU). Akibat- nya sifat eksploratif sebagai upaya memenuhi rasa penasaran dan keberanian untuk mengambil resiko kurang dihargai.
  7. Bagi keanyakan bangsa Asia, bertanya artinya bodoh, makanya rasa penasaran tidak mendapat tempat dalam proses pendidikan di sekolah
  8. Karena takut salah dan takut dianggap bodoh, di sekolah atau dalam seminar atau workshop, peserta jarang mau bertanya tetapi setelah sesi berakhir peserta mengerumuni guru / narasumber untuk minta penjelasan tambahan.



Di dalam bukunya Prof.Ng Aik Kwang menawarkan beberapa solusi sbb:
  1. Hargai proses. Hargailah orang karena pengabdiannya bukan karena kekayaannya.
  2. Hentikan pendidikan berbasis kunci jawaban. Biarkan murid memahami bidang yang paling disukainya
  3. Jangan jejali murid dengan banyak hafalan, apalagi matematika. Untuk apa diciptakan kalkulator kalau jawaban utk X x Y harus dihapalkan? Biarkan murid memilih sedikit mata pelajaran tapi benar2 dikuasainya
  4. Biarkan anak memilih profesi berdasarkan PASSION (rasa cinta) nya pada bidang itu, bukan memaksanya mengambil jurusan atau profesi tertentu yg lebih cepat menghasilkan uang
  5. Dasar kreativitas adalah rasa penasaran berani ambil resiko. AYO BERTANYA!
  6. Guru adalah fasilitator, bukan dewa yang harus tahu segalanya. Mari akui dengan bangga kalau TIDAK TAHU!
  7. Passion manusia adalah anugerah Tuhan.. Sebagai orang tua kita bertanggung-jawab untuk mengarahkan anak kita untuk menemukan passionnya dan mensupportnya.


Mudah-mudahan dengan begitu, kita bisa memiliki anak-anak dan cucu yang kreatif, inovatif tapi juga memiliki integritas dan idealisme tinggi tanpa korupsi.
