It doesn’t matter how technology evolves, it all comes down to CONTENT.

The future is already here! We all ready have all we need to spread our ideas in any medium that we choose and without investing any money on it.

You have to come with big ideas, to be real, be authentic…just be YOU and give the best content that you can give to make people’s life better… people will visit your Blogs because they want something…they want you to deliver something they need for their growth or just to make them feel better in a certain way.

The best publicity that always was and always will be is:

Word to mouth (or email to email) and people will deliver your message to their friends not because you’re using the latest Hi Tech…They will do it because of YOU and your CONTENT.

So the real future as I see it is in QUALITY! More quality personal Blogs…you need to invest your time in delivering the best quality content that you can give…

“You always get what you give”

Thank you : )

Recently I stumbled through the post on Problogger with the same title :- ‘The Future of Blogging’. The post is a collection of views from different people about the future of blogging. Well it differs in most of cases and the most common thing in what almost everyone believes is that the mode and media of blogging is going to get a major overhaul.

But what I think is that it may be the case for many established bloggers who already have a huge fan following and can afford to feed their readers with their ideas in other forms like video and audio podcasting as well as online video websites like You Tube etc.. but I don’t think they can solely rely on media other than the text on the traditional blogs. I have written more on my blog at TuuBol.com. I would like your comments on my views on the same topic.

The problem though is that more and more blogs get most of the search engine traffic. About a year ago it would be fairly easy to get great results from search engines, now it’s a bit harder.

I think that this is all because we see more “big” blogs with more quality posts on every niche, more blogs with guest writers, and this is probably going to happen in the future as well… so, it will probably be harder to stand out from the crowd when it comes to blogging in the future.

But if you become “really” personal in your niche, I guess the future will still be bright.

As for blogging as a profession, it is a tough one but there is certain more room for people in the fold. I blog professionally and make good money at it, however as anybody who makes real money at this will attest, it is a lot more than writing and hitting “Publish”.

So blogging must be respected. I believe it will get more interactive because ppl simply love to be part of something and once they’r “down with you they are going to want more ways to express themselves.

My blog will soon be archived by the British Library. That doesn’t mean much in itself because they also archive business websites. But they are committed to preserving websites and blogs for a hundred years or more. I don’t want to be morbid, but this gives me peace of mind over what will happen to my blog when I shuffle off this mortal coil.

I believe blogs will last as long as the internet does. That basically means, as long as humans survive. After all, the printing press hasn’t gone away, has it?

Pulling out your credit card and giving your numbers away to a complete stranger is a big risk. Many people are scared to do this (and at times with good reason).

Blogging lets the buyer know what they are getting into and who they are buying from.

Free information (articles, ebooks, podcasts) allow the buyer to get their feet wet before completely committing to buying a product. It allows them to feel safer when it comes time to pull out their credit card.

Regardless of the changes in platforms, trends or preferences, we must remember that specific skills will continue to be needed – clarity of message; presentation design; and timeliness will continue to be important. Success of communication is measured and judged by the receiver. If you can not connect with your audience, you fail!

What are the impacts of your blog/message being lost in the rising tides of the oceans of mediocrity? Put your boots on, time will tell who gets wet.

Also, reader interaction will become much more important as well. The more the reader feels they can contribute, the more likely they will become a daily reader.

It might even be possible that video comments become more mainstream as more and more people get webcams and cameras become more affordable. This allows people to share their feedback via video which gives it a lot more customization and personal feel to it.

The point about blogging not hitting the mainstream yet is pretty accurate in my view. I think it applies to blogs where the goal is to be a pro blogger and not just a diary or a “fun blog.”

Most people outside the ’sphere are still mystified by what we do and how we do it.
