Twitter, Facebook, and I Really Should Update My Website

Q: Why do people have blogs?

Kassia: "I've never had an opinion I didn't want to share." It's the kind of writing she's been doing her whole life. It's a platform that works really well for her. Blogging has helped her establish herself in her career.

Christina: Blogging is living out loud. She prefers to keep certain things "inside" until they are ready to come out. Daily bloggers have a mindset that when they have an idea, they post it.

Kassia: "No one in the publishing industry new my name when I started by blog."

Jane: This is a topic that comes up a lot. (She's got a post on why to blog on her blog. She the blogroll at the right for the link to There Are No Rules.)

Q: If you're just starting a blog how to people get to you?

Jane: One of the most effective things you can do is comment on other people's blogs. If you are on Facebook and Twitter definitely link to relevant blog posts.

Kassia: Link to other blogs and sites.

Christina: There's also traditional connecting. Link, meet people, go to conferences, engage in professional development. It all creates a synergy. Do a little bit of a lot of things when it comes to connecting with others.

Jane: Look at things you can do online that will help other people, and they'll come back to you.
