No Community without Blog -- But Does Anyone Read ?
Co-Entrepreneurs don't care about my news, just about their own. Why don't my Online Friends either ? I always thought, a Blog was a great instrument to communicate.... Am I wrong?
Marketing in social networks faces a very curious paradox:
People love buying stuff online. Everything is full of "social ads". These are clicked and people buy. That is, how social networks make money to support themselves and much more.
People mostly buy stuff, that is recommended by friends.
But
people do not want to be sold to.
This goes so far, that they flee people who might want to recommend something useful they sell, and buy the same stuff elsewhere.
I only wished, mentioning I am doing Online Business would keep the jerks off as well, who are looking for cam girls, lol.
Otherwise, a blog for business is better than a website for many reasons.
http://www.squidoo.com/business-blogs One of them is SEO/SEM -- but this rather a subject for my business blogs.
Just hoping, that I do not experience the same phenomenon here, that I did in another social network: People do not read blogs, for fear there could be anything about business in them. -- And that was one of the networks filled with people who had some strange ideas about "making money on the Internet"... .
Now, don't be afraid to read my blog here (once I find the time to write it) I will post more about other aspects of life in the Virtual Reality. Perhaps even one or the other story.
My main reason for using the blog in communities is, I want to communicate, to keep in touch with friends. I have no time to chat since I work Online.
In MSN or Yahoo this is hopeless, now let's see, if it will be possible here, when I return in Oktober... .
