Blog as a Business

We all know the horrors of social networking sites such as Facebook. Believe me, being a college student, I know the dangers of having a Facebook page. I have even heard horror stories of people being turned away from jobs because of their profile.

However, social network sites such as Facebook, LinkdIn, and Twitter can be an asset to you. Not only to helping potential employers having easy access to your experience, but also your blogs. You can provide links to your blogs on your profiles. I found this little piece of advice in an article called "25 Tips for Marketing Your Blog". The Lee Odden gives great insight into how to get more people to read your blog.

By putting a link to your blog can help not only promote your blog, but promote you as a working individual as well. People reading your blogs can become part of your network and as they say "It's not always what you know, it's who you know." It can also work visa versa, people that are in your network can read your blogs, increasing your traffic and getting more of your ideas out there. If you are using blogs for a business, this can be very beneficial for your company.
