Which Came First, the Chicken or the Egg?

In the world of blogs, social media and all our opinions we forget where it all came from and why it was even started in the first place. One day, a thought popped into somebody’s head to create a webpage that is totally dedicated to a set of thoughts, opinions or just journal entries because some people’s lives are more entertaining than others. Strangely enough, the people whose lives aren’t so entertaining enjoys reading about what those others write, like you reading this blog.

This collection of thoughts or ideas in web form is commonly referred to as a blog. It can be about anything, surrounding any topic or it could just be about absolutely nothing. But as long as you have people reading it or if you just like writing then it doesn’t really matter what is written in it. But a blog cannot exist without the person doing it which is the blogger. This is the creative person, sometimes, that writes all these posts that people, hopefully, enjoy reading. This dedicated soul toils day and night to ensure that your next post gets published to satisfy your cravings.

The most exciting part about all this though is the blogging. This is the act of actually writing the blog. In the not so distant past, just writing a journal and posting online for others to see was an amazing thing to do. Presently, blogging is a whole other animal, no, a beast! Blogs are now infused with pictures, both stills and animated, videos, podcasts, music and anything else that the blogger can imagine. This really is what blogging is, the creative activity of a person that creates an art form and shares it with the world. Some people write so often and need to satisfy their own urges that they live on platforms like Twitter and Tumblr which creates a specific category called microblogging.


Technology is such a fascinating thing because as soon as we get used to something happening one way they change it and make it so much better. Case in point, look at all the wonderful things that blogs can do … but have you ever heard of Vlogs, Vloggers and Vlogging?

Social Media Campaign or Bust

So you want to run your social media campaign because you have become a wiz at this social media business huh? Well have no fear, I got you. I will keep it very simple and point you in the right direction so that you can make your own money moves. The first thing that you need to do is set goals for the campaign that you have in mind. These goals are normally in line with what the organization wants to achieve like increasing sales, increasing leads, brand awareness, etc. Next up is to set targets for your campaign. These are the things the campaign definitely needs to achieve in within set parameters or constraints. This would be like getting a set number of leads, sales, likes or followers within two weeks or a month. But let's be realistic when setting goals so they are not out of your reach. In order to properly plan your campaign, you must know how long you plan to run the campaign as well as how much money you have to do it with. This could mean the difference bet...

Social Media Policy … Does it Assist with Reputation?

When people talk about a Social Media Policy (SMP), the thought that instantly comes to the minds of those that manage the company's brand/image are the guidelines that they should follow to maintain same. They think of how frequently posts should be made, what message should be put out, how the narrative should be controlled, etc. But that’s not what a SMP is about. Any company policy is generally put in place to control the behaviour of staff outlining what is acceptable and what is not. With respect to a SMP, it will generally outline whether or not SM is to be used while on the job, which subsets are allowed or not, if there is a particular time that employees are allowed to use SM and/or the internet in general but most importantly, if they are allowed to post or comment on company events, pages or activities on their personal SM platforms.
