Thread on Ghost Blog Writing
Typist Picture by Library of Congress
There’s a really relevant conversation going on over at Active Rain about Ghost Blog writers. Some folks are passionate about writing themselves and they’re not wrong. Authenticity is important and you need to transfer what you see, hear, experience and know about your business to the web for both [human] appeal and [topic search] findability.
However, some business people just don’t feel comfortable writing. Blogging isn’t for everyone, but *online marketing is!* Some may argue you get from an advertorial blog what you put into it. We don’t dare disagree, but in one way or another you should carefully direct any ghost blogging. That said, is there any reason why managing someone else to Ghost Blog for you can’t work?
A great comment by Dan Green, “Look, if we can all agree that blogging is marketing, then we can agree that the goal of blogging is to generate new clients and retain existing ones. And like all marketing efforts, when the costs exceeds the benefit, it’s time to reconsider the marketing plan… Time spent blogging is time spent MARKETING and there is a real cost for doing it.”
