Neil Haboush is a Montreal businessman who advocates for the benefits of golf, yoga and meditation.
When I started blogging in 2000, it was cool, exciting and popular. Everyone was talking about blogs, commenting on blogs and starting blogs. I felt that blogs gave people a new, user-friendly platform to reach a global audience about any interest or topic.
Fast-forward today and blogs are a solid part of the landscape but not as genuine as they used to be. If social media is a dance, blogs are the nice but bespectacled girl/boy standing in the corner while the cool kids (Facebook, Twitter and YouTube) are wildly partying in the middle of the dance floor.
It seems that interest in blogs is declining because it is easier to find an audience on Facebook and Twitter. A facebook post is easier to produce in comparison with a blog post. Blogs can be challenging to write because they need lots of ideas, enthusiasm and, ideally, the ability to write well and quickly. And it can be difficult to attract an audience given the competition.
Nevertheless, I’m still convinced blogs are an important and viable part of the social media landscape and I also really enjoy writing blogs. The other key reason for blogging is it is a great way to support and promote my business. My blog, hopefully, shows them my insight, ideas, approach and commitment in a way that Twitter and Facebook could never do.
