Over the years I’ve stressed blogging. As a publicist, I advise my clients to get started blogging to get their brand voice “out there.”
A blog is like your newspaper, your radio station, your magazine or your television – or a combination of all media. You can “be your own the media” with a blog. It’s totally up to you.
The hard part is getting traffic to the blog.
That’s why I’m recommending everyone (black or brown or any color people) to go to the Blogging While Brown Conference in June. I spoke at this conference about 3 or 4 years ago and this conference is filled with the “superstars” of the blogosphere.
The 8th Annual Blogging While Brown Conference will be June 19-20, 2015 in Austin, TX. The official conference hotel is the Hyatt Regency Austin. You can make reservations here.
