I'm running a poll (powered by Vizu.com) to find out what your biggest challenges are with content marketing with blogs. Scroll down the far right column to find it, then vote.
If you don't find your biggest beef with blogs listed as a voting choice, please leave a comment here on this post and tell me what bugs you about blogging. What do you struggle with, what are you unhappy with, what do you wish would be easier, faster, and get better results.
Earlier on in my blogging career (2004), when I first formed The Blog Squad with Denise, I used to encourage everyone to get a blog and use it for content marketing. I was so excited about being able to publish on the Web my little ol' self, that I'd tell everyone they MUST blog for business, they'd be a fool not to. Now, I'm open to other ideas.
I love writing, and love blogging. But not everyone does and not everyone should be blogging. Spending your time doing something that isn't effective is stupid.
With social media sites like Facebook and Twitter and LinkedIn, maybe you should be spending your marketing time there instead of on a blog.
Or maybe you should use your blog more like a website, with multiple pages. I do this for one of my businesses, using a WordPress blog platform, but it's more of a way to easily update the website, because it's really a "blogsite." (See ContentforCoachesandConsultants.com for an example of a blog used as a website with product pages.)
Please take the Vizu poll over on the far right, so I can get an idea of what your complaints are. Leave a comment here. Feel free to share what your experiences with a blog have been, good or bad. I'd love to hear from you.
Who knows, maybe your comments might inspire me to write an updated ebook or special report, and you might get quoted or interviewed!
Scroll down to the Vizu poll now and vote, thanks! (Graphic courtesy of Shutterstock)
