A blog is a dynamic website that you can get up and running without basic internet skills. No webmaster or IT professional is needed to begin. There is no need to worry about fancy servers that you need to update and maintain. When people ask how they should begin to get their feet wet with social media and say things like “should I make a brand new website?” I tell them, “No, start a new blog instead”.
Spending thousands of dollars building and revamping a website makes me cringe when I know that a blog site is likely able to provide them with 90% of what they need to get started interacting with social media. Entries on a blog are quick and easy to do, major search engines are able to pick up and index them within hours and you don’t need to know a single tag of HTML. If you have any difficulty, ask any 14 year teenager for help!
Use the pressuite.com media-marketplace to publish your news stories and send a link back to your blog. Use your blog to talk about your latest news release and link back to pressuite.com. Link both up to your existing website. Traffic and media awareness will go way up!
In these economically challenging times, don’t spend money on a new website. Instead, register for a blog at WordPress, LiveJournal, or Blogger and get started!
