Every few months somebody proclaims that blogging is dead and being replaced by micro blogging and other media and this post on the Forbes blog by Jeff Bercovici seems to say that Facebook and Twitter are replacing blogging. I’ve never been a daily blogger, but that doesn’t devalue blogging itself.

You see, lots of bloggers have their blog posts syndicated on other sites that aggregate content, and sometimes we write posts specific to a site just to get our names in front of more readers who frequent that particular web site. It’s like guest blogging, but more focused.

Wanna know the most recent news, trends or information rich blog posts? People share passion on blogs. You see it in the comments and on some of the best blogs the comments from the regular readers are as valuable or better than the actual post itself. Blogs have subscribers but not members, so do they even qualify as community?

Others do everything from moderating forums and Facebook pages, T witter engagement and influencer outreach to creating e-books and blogging for the company.

Do a search on S ocial Mention to find blogs, forums, discussions on Twitter or other micro-blogs. You’ll find a community of other people working in that very same space participating in social media somewhere. Once you find out where the people you want to talk to are you can create a strategy to build your brand.

Every successful blogger or blogging coach will tell you it’s important to blog regularly to maintain the interest of your readers. How often is up to you, but often it’s helpful to set a sort of schedule to your blogging so people begin to expect to hear from you on a regular basis. I hope so anyway!).
