I love blogging...

I love blogging. Simple as that. It feeds my innate need to write what my soul yearns me to write, to match images with words that create a work of art, to share my stories and thoughts and to get some computer time—I love my Macintosh...

Simple as that.

Some top tips for social media internet marketing

If I had to make a list of the top social media tips, what would they be:   

Know your audience and speak to them. Inspire them to come back every day for new tidbits of information, like one of the favorite books they are reading.   

Be a place to go for interaction (not a billboard). Pose questions and topics for discussion. Do not always be a place that always tries to promote and give readers another thing to do, or another way to spend money they do not have. When a person is inspired, they will do what they have to do to give you the business you desire.   

Invite pure participation, not necessarily anything outside of interacting on their computer. This builds a following.

Maybe you have some experience with web design and wonder how blog design differs. Maybe you have been blogging as a user for some time but someone else set up the site for you.

Here are the basics....



First of all, it is free to set up a blog site. There are well-known blogging tool applications out there such as Blogger (owned by Google) and Wordpress. Blogger is the simpler tool of the two. For those looking for many bells and whistles, Wordpress is the answer.

The blogging tool applications will first ask you for some basic setup details such as your name and email address. You then need to chose your blog site address. There is a search tool within the blog tool application that will assist you in determining whether or not your desired site is available or not.
