All About Blogs - The Finish Line

It takes a little work, a routine and commitment to truly harness the full potential of a blog. Once it is set-up and you find your rhythm though it gets much easier. The main things to keep in mind are:

• Allow your personality or the tone of your passion to shine through your blog
• Keep the title and address short, concise and easy to remember
• Really think about what you really want people to see first and foremost as soon as your blog opens
• Remember to provide a means to contact you from your blog
• Keep your important information secure at all times
• Be yourself when making connections
• Link, Link and more Links - to your social networks, friends and peers
• PING YOUR BLOG
• Include your address everywhere – e-mail, profiles, stationary, and forums

Your blog is your little slice of the Internet. It is where people will come to get to know you and your passion. With a little planning and a little work you can harness the full potential of your blog; by doing so you will be well on your way to building a platform of fans and followers for years to come. A blog is a tool that enables you to communicate and share with those you would never be able to before. It is a global instrument but at the end of the day it is just a means to have fun. Just like in Field of Dreams – if you build it, they will come.

This concludes my day here at the Muse Conference. I hope you had fun and maybe even picked up a tip or two. I have enjoyed spending the day with you.
