A Graphic Design Blog
Everyone has a blog nowadays, everyone! And you should have one too!
An incalculable number of blog sites have sprung up across the virtual landscape that is the internet. Offering up opinions, education, opportunities of introduction (to individuals, corporations, services and products), ratings, and every other topic of social benefit or entertainment.
Blogging is a great way to express yourself and show people your knowledge and skills as a designer. It will help people get to know you as well as help with SEO ( search engine optimization) because of the content that will be related to graphic design and your area of focus. It will also help your writing skills.
If you already have a website, adding a blog to it helps to personalize the experience of the individual who is out there searching for your services and expertise. In experiencing your blog, they have a chance to sample your individual style and approach to see if you are in concord with the direction they are looking to travel to solve their creative needs.
Express Yourself Professionally
Your professional blog should be just that, professional. Do not use your design blog to air personal opinions (not related to the field of design), past yarns, venting, idle gossip and/or meandering dialogue. Your blog entries will function as a publicly accessible evaluative to determine the level of your rational maturity, the degree of dedication to your craft and the measure and ability of your commitment to a contract.
You owe it to yourself and your business to research the networking potential and personal appeal of a running blog. With the myriad faceless corporate and franchise offerings clamoring for clientele you can provide professional assurance and personal relief from the dystopia of generic design services by implementing the simple addition of a well-groomed blog-site. Use it to express yourself (professionally), to interact with clients and potential clients, and to establish a lucrative networking forum.
