In this world of the Web 2.0 paradigm, everyone and anyone who has a computer and an Internet connection can use them to express themselves. There are people who upload videos onto free websites, and thereby become famous because of their antics or their technical prowess. There are people who post their opinions on forums, and thereby become famous as well because of their logic and opinion skills. And there are people who keep online diaries, and who use the blogging and quite recently the VLOG - Video Log phenomenon in order to earn money, be famous online, and show off all their skills, whether technical, visual, or literary. Blogging or Vlogging is a general term for keeping a regular set of chronicles online, either in text, video/ audio format or both all of which can be archived according to date, and classified according to content. This means that essentially, the process of blogging and vlogging is therefore comprised of managing content. Vlogging or Blogging can be used to keep archives of a person's artwork, videos, ipod casts and/ or photographs. It can be used to keep an online diary which may contain prose entries, essays, opinion pieces, poems, parts of a novel, reviews, or other contents that might be useful or entertaining to blog readers. Not all blogs, however, earn the traffic that they deserve, simply because some vlog/blog owners believe that their blogs will be picked up immediately by search engines and will earn them fame even if they do little or no marketing or it is done automatically for them. This misconception has resulted in many good blogs and vlogs? disappearance. Blogs, Vlogs because of their content, are prospectively good sources of marketing. You can in fact get traffic into your site because of a vlog and/ or blog. This is because people can easily browse through vlog/ blog entries and look through archives; and because most blog/ vlog entries are classified under a certain title or topic, your visitors can easily find what they are looking for without having to go through page after page of text, video thumbnails or photographs. If you are looking for marketing strategies for your site, turn to the two side of blog/ vlog marketing: you can make your own blog/ vlog and link other vlogs/ blogs, and you can post opinions on other vlogs/ blogs giving a link to your vlog/ blog. The key is to make yourself visible, but in doing so, you have to make yourself useful. Nothing turns people off online more than someone who is being visible for the sake of being seen. Have a vlog/ blog on your site, or software that resembles the content management system reminiscent of a vlog/ blog. Your vlog/ blog can contain entries on issues relevant not only to your business, but to your prospective customers. You can also vlog/ blog about tips and tricks that your customers might need in order to use your products and services better, or to have better lives, in general. The more useful your vlog/ blog is, the more visitors you will have. Don?t forget to post your URL in other vlogs/ blogs that are of the same nature as yours, and do so as you post useful opinions on these vlogs/ blogs. Link these vlogs/ blogs, moreover, in your vlog/ blog site, especially those that can also be useful to your customers. You may also want to enroll in an affiliate program, in which you can have advertisements on your site that your visitors can click on. Once they click on these advertisements, you get commissions. This is only one way that your vlog/ blog can make money, and that your site can get visitors. If you are able to utilize the power of the vlog/ blog to your advantage, then you will be able to be more visible, and useful, online.
