Why Blog?
Mindy Schultz | February 4th, 2011
Whether you’re a journalist, a rocket scientist, a ballet dancer or even a doctor, writing a blog can be an important tool to your everyday success. There are many different types of blogs out there, which is why there is something for everyone. Whether you choose to blog about your everyday adventures, your “likes and dislikes,” best travel spots, best restaurants, or even for the business you currently are employed at, blogging is a good way to put your thoughts down and share what you know with others.
For me, blogging for SDZR has shed light on many different social media sitess, job related sites, and other useful sites that shared blogs I never would have seen or heard about otherwise. They have shared many insightful tips and tools on how to be successful in everyday tasks, that of which I have since become more aware of after writing reviews of the ones I have valued. Even simply subscribing to an online newsletter such as SDZR or another blog will bring you to other peoples thoughts and ideas on ways to save more, get politically involved, the latest fashion trends and other ways to stay successful.
There are many different sites one can use to create a blog from. Sites such as WordPress.com, Blogspot.com and Blogger.com are easy tools to get you started.
Here are some blogs I personally like to follow or just know are interesting: SDZR (duh.. I write for it!), Mashable, OnedayOnejob, TechCrunch, and Tumblr.
