Blogs in Plain English

• September 2nd

  At Video.Social.Marketing we are absolutely commited to assisting small business and entrepreneurs get a better handle, understanding and appreciation of the social spaces on the internet.  Social marketing is burgeoning and the more we look at statistics and other information that come our way on the social spaces (facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, blogging, social bookmarking and the myriad of other sites available) business absolutely must consider using these spaces to keep up with the newest form of marketing and sales.

  So, in line with “best practice”, we look to share “share-able” resources and not to reinvent the wheel.  The early days of our blog will be all about simplifying what social networking is all about in relation to you.

  A lot of people who work in this space seem to have an expectation that everyone knows what this stuff is all about.  So when terms like “social media optimization” or “social media marketing” or “social networking” and even “blogging”, are used, who’s really clear on what it means?

  We are taking it back to basics for a few weeks and as an educator, I can think of no better place to start than with Lee LeFever, of the Common Craft show.  Lee uses great animations and plain english to explain the nuts, bolts and philosophy of many social applications.

  Here, he demystifies “blogs” (which is a contraction of the words “web” and “log”) for us.
