… I was asked ‘What’s a Blog!?’ with a questioning look and an envious stare at the goodies in the mail, I would be a wealthy women. And the same goes for the amount of times I have stumbled over an explanation. A rationalisation. A way to describe Blog, Bloggers and the whole world of it.
The word blog seems to confuse people. It’s a website, I’d stammer. A personal journal of sorts. A place to deliver information. It is a resource. Or a read, like a magazine. It’s different for everyone. And about my blog in particular; It is a place I record my life, the stories and photos. It’s my little piece of the internet to share whatever I want.
But that just confuses them more.
Why would anyone want to read that {My thoughts exactly!} they ask. Aren’t you worried about who reads it? What if there is a stalker type person lurking in the background {well, we can hope! Ha. Stalkers HAVE to be good for blog page views, right!?}. I don’t get it but good on you. They say in some form or another before changing the subject.
How do you explain the community of Bloggers? The way that virtual strangers become friends and rally when the chips are down. Or up, for that matter. When they support you and compliment you and welcome you for who you are when no one in your life seems to take the time to care. How do you sum THAT up?
And how to you encapsulate the opportunity it is for businesses and brands to work with bloggers. How do you explain the new wave of consumer is looking for information. Delivered to them when they want it, but personally. How do you explain that it is worth a business spending hundreds {if not thousands!} nurturing those relationships through the medium that is bloggers?
It’s my fault, I know. I should have a clear idea of what I want to say when people ask. But I want to convey it all. What my blog is and means to me. What yours are and mean to you. As well as the community and the opportunity that there is for commerce {of varying levels} and good business nous.
Help me out would you. How would you say all of that and more.
How do you explain what a blog is?
