I know we all sometimes feel frustrated about blogging but it is not always, I mean sometimes the words flow from outr our fingers, our pictures look perfect and we actually think we know what SEO means. Well today I am going to talk about theeasy blogging tools at your finger tips, easy you say, there are easy blogging tools?  Well yes Sally…, there are easy tools, those that do not require a PhD, nor spending hours researching, I refer of course to business tools.
 
I never realized how much blogging is a business and the fact is you need to approach it the same way you would if you were opening a store front.  Seriously, if you are not prepared to network and advertise and put yourself out there,well, then how will we find you. ( and who is blogging not to be found???)
Blogging as a business

 

I went to my very first blog conference in March of 2014, just a one day geared for parents but open to everyone forum in Ottawa, I had an amazing time but boy did I feel out of my element… everyone, I mean everyone asked for my card and at least I was on the ball enough to figure out that they did not mean my work business card but did I have a card for them, NOPE, so how do I expect any of them to remember me let alone check out my blog,  write my address on a post it, well that sure is professional and sure to create interest.
 
Bloggers need business cards, and media kits and note cards, not even touching on the basic whole office set up issue….. Today lets stick to the basics OK.
 

When I went to ” Spark Sessions”, the following November you can be darn sure I had cards and guess what I needed them, once again everyone said “Do you have a Card”  Now contrary to people might tell you about don’t worry I’ll just add you to my phone ( which is nice for an instant follow) providing a card provides a tangible reminder when they are home, plus your card if creative enough may not just be a reminder of who you are, it may be the one thing that ensures they check out your blog. ( Isn’t that what it is all about, following me on Instagram is great but hey I want you over reading my blog…)

My Original Cards
A Labour of Life Business Cards

So here I am again, this time heading to Blissdom 15 ( sadly the last time this conference will be). Well this time this Gal is prepared I have been shopping for business cards, I have decided I am  not heading to another conference without being prepared.  This time I zipped over to Moo.  They have some basic templates perfect for the beginner yet they also provide an opportunity to design your own. ( and to order coordinating or matching notecards.. hmmm  I do love my paper products.)

My new Cards

You should hop over and check them out, simple, easy and the least frustrating blog activity you will try.
