Business bloggers are coming and going at an alarming rate. They are failing before they even start. That has led to some on the internet writing articles declaring the death of blogging. In today’s podcast I’m going to share with why blogging is dying for most businesses but it’s not dying as marketing tool.

Don: Thanks for your reply. I look forward to talk with you soon again.

My bet is that the same people saying that blogging is dying, will say that podcasting in the years to come...

Hi mate.. To be honest I don't think blogging is dead or about to die anytime soon. The only change that I felt in blogging process is that now only well written stories which are told well have the ability to become viral. Content has always been the king so keep writing good stuff and promote it good :)

Thanks so much for sharing. As I said in the podcast, it's not dying as a platform anytime soon. But, for those businesses who don't understand the tool and don't take the time to learn it and only use it as a hard core marketing and sales tool; for them it will die when they continue to not get results.

Thanks so much again for commenting.

For those businesses who are lazy and skip steps it is dying, or already dead. They've made up their minds and they tell others about the waste of time it is.

However, as you said, they neglect the key aspect of blogging that is critical to their success and that is the long-term viability of the articles. Blogging is no where dead to those of us who use it the tool, adapt with it and leverage its benefits as you outlined.

The key as I share on the "Begin Here" of my site is to understand how the internet works holistically and the role that blogging plays in it. It's not a mass marketing tool that you just pump "buy me" all over it and then expect people to buy from you.

There must be a clarity that comes from digging into your business deeply that comes out so that you know your own passion and vision, the tangible values that a customer experiences after having done business with you, the problems each tangible value solves and who you solve them for.

Learning how to communicate is hard but that foundation is what will carry the day.

I agree that the platform is not dead, but as I stated int he podcast it is dying for those who refuse to learn how to use the tool the right way and when they don't get the results they are looking for they will stop blogging and claim that blogging doesn't work.

Of course you and I know better.

Thanks so much for sharing!

Thank you so much for sharing Lyceum! I agree, the platform isn't going anywhere. However, for those businesses who refuse to use the tool in the right way they will proclaim blogging is dying because it doesn't work for them.

Of course you and I know better.

I'll be sure to check out your blog and podcast. Thanks for letting me know of it.

Have a great week!
