Hello Class,
I was able to watch Annie Werner of Tumblr and Stacie Chan of Google talk about blogging and self-promotion on October 22nd on Texas State Mass Comm Week live feed.
What they talk about was really interesting because it was what I really wanted to get out of in our Web Design class. I have always known that to get ahead in the field of advertising, one must be able to differentiate yourself from everyone else.
I was able to find out that if you’re going to blog, don’t blog about what everyone else is blogging about. It’s important to blog about something that you’re interested in, but also something that sets you apart from everyone else blogging. Also, if you’re going to blog about cooking, which is a popular topic among bloggers, make sure that you’re blog offers your viewers something that the other cooking-blog doesn’t.
