Facebook Farewell Letters ?
Recently I just read this post from Karen Post, an international speaker & consultant whom concentrate in branding, social media & women business issues. It’s like reading a farewell letter to someone you loved or someone you love wrote you this kind of letter.. By the way, after you read this post by her, you’ll may agree in some of her point about using the right social media and how bad could some business will be impact. Oh, do you know that Facebook copies the ideas of micro-blogging from Twitter and without it, Facebook might just be another Friendster. Eh, do you know what is micro-blogging ? OMG.. 
The power of blogging
Why do i blog? Or maybe its easier if I put it this way, why do spend so much time blogging? Do I look like I enjoy it? Well, I may look like that I enjoy it but I think the answer would be more than just a hobby. I don’t think people will just write because they simply have an interest of writing what they feel or what they want people to feel about it. I write because I want more than sharing something. I write because I think I have gold bar inside my mouth (not really). I think I write because its easier to let people know about me, do u think so?
But what I really to share is the Top 5 reason why people blogging.It’s just my personal opinion and some of them based on my experiences.
1. Money
Believe it or not, lots of people blog not because of the popular trends that exist many years ago before there was video blogging (Youtube),social media (Friendster,Myspace and now Facebook) and micro blogging (Tweeter). I remember many years ago when blogging become a phenomenon, there’s a lot of free blogging sites such as Blogger,Wordpress,Livejournal and Blogdrive (just to name a few) available for users, many people including teenagers sign up for this account and eventually,writing a story about the life or a diary of their everyday life become a new hobby to everyone.
Things turn out to a huge different when Google bought Blogger, and become the turning point where Adsense, the world most famous making-money-online become successful and change at least 1 ordinary man a day to earn steady figures between USD100-USD300 a week, all around the world.
I’ll will writes more about autoblogging and other Black Hat tricks that people use in blogging, just for the sake of making money.
2.Branding
Who can deny the power of branding? Ask the fashion expert. What kind of shit is Burberry? Sounds like Burrrp-sounds-of-eating-the-whole-berry-farm. But its worth a thousand dollar for a piece of boxers.Yeah right, like you can attract a girl with the boxer even if you have needle d***.Okay enough with the nonsense.The power of blog is like a power of writing a press release. How often do people read an articles or give comments about the newest Burberry perfume. With all the details about what matches the new series of product with current trends,the unique bottle design,the smells and everything else until we scroll down and suddenly get heart fainted with the sales price.The existence of any writings about this new product is important as it can help the brand to stay in the market.In what we called ‘mind-trick’, people has a limit memory recall on certain things that is not an everyday routine (Exception if you need to wear perfume almost everyday and evertime), so whenever this Burberry articles is found either purposely or accidently,it will gave some visual effects that stays under your subconsious mind.The more of this type of articles is found everywhere,the more percentage of people around the world will have it planted in their brain and whenever small talk occurs about such topics, Burberry will suddenly comes out from their mouth.The bottomline is, this blogging thing will help keeps the brand circling around bloggers and readers, just like in real life where the same thing is actually happen,without our knowing.But apart from the real world, we actually got 2 kind of world talking about the brand.Yes, the cyber world.Not only that we have 2 world with different people, internet promise us that the articles is available 24 hours a day,anytime and anywhere.It can be found using search engine at anytime from readers around the world.Unlike publications which is limited to certain parts of the world, any blogs or even discusssion about such brands is borderless in information superhighway.Who can deny the most powerful word of the world, it’s FREE. Yes, go figure yourself and you know that for every advertising personnel in this life, God has answered their prayer.
Woops, I gotta chow.Need to get some sleep. 
I forgot to edit this post, he next 3 reason will be added in my next post.
SEO : Commenting on different blogs
Getting backlinks is tough nowadays.Plus if you some kind of lazy overweight guy who prefer watching youtube rather than dancing with his fingers on keyboards.But there’s some typing work that I am forced to do.Not to say religiously, but it’s the most proven theory to get more traffic to any sites that you are working with.
Commenting in somebody’s blog is proven to be one of the most effective method that works if you’re talking about getting more and more organic SEO traffic.Why? Well, with the development of anti-spam scripts in most of the comment post, people surely know that we’re not talking about some kind of toyol going out in the cyber world typing comments and leave his master’s links in order to get attention from readers.This is the real thing.We know that the real human who actually type his thoughts about such topics and if it can be something to think of,readers tend to have some curiousity about you and start to click the hyperlinks pointing to your site, which happens to let them gain more info about him or about such topics or ‘wise man says’. What do you expect? It’s a cyber world !
Here’s the 5 reasons why I comment on different blogs
1. I Get Traffic Back to My Blog – Commenting on different blogs is still the number one way to get traffic back to your blog. I have got most of my traffic from commenting on other blogs. I tend to use the name of my blog instead of my real name so that people already know what my blog is about.
2. I Get to Build My Brand – You can build your brand by commenting on blogs. Trust me, there are many people that just go through and read the different comments just like people do on You Tube. What you write is what a lot of people will remember you by just like the blog posts on your blog. So think before you comment.
3. Content Ideas – Usually you have to read the post before you can comment. Reading different posts on different blogs can give you a whole bunch of ideas for content. This has really helped me a lot so I have good ideas of things I can talk about to help bloggers. I know I can build a good blog since I have over 20,000 subscribers on two different blogs, but thinking of different things bloggers want help with is the hardest part.
4. More Subscribers – If your comments drive traffic to your blog then most likely the people have liked what you are saying and could potentially subscribe to your blog. I have got most of my subscribers coming from different blogs after looking at my statistics.
5. Becoming a Better Writer- Like I said above, you usually have to read the post before you can comment. Reading allows you to become a better writer if you think so or not. The more you read, the more ways you will begin to write articles.
