In one of his newsletters Skande asked an interesting question: “Is it still worth starting a personal blog?”. His analysis of what has happened on the web in recent years is acceptable: the web has been clogged with content for a long time – Mark Schaefer had called it Content Shock , a true saturation of content . This means that it is increasingly difficult to be found on Google, although not impossible. What is the advantage of having a blog? A blog is your home. And mine too. This, for me, represents the greatest advantage compared to social media, where instead we are guests of the large billion-dollar companies that manage them. In the blog we dictate our guidelines , on social media we must accept those of the hosts. This is no small advantage. In our blog no one will ever be able to kick us out. On social media, especially on Facebook, posts and pages have been deleted even without a valid reason.
Another big advantage is content Phone Number List archiving , which social media does not have. On social media everything we write will quickly be lost, buried in the chaos of new content that pours onto the platforms every minute. What's the benefit of just being on social media? A profile on social media does not require any skills, compared to a blog. Are we so sure? If you want to use social media for your profession, then you will have to study a little to create the right strategy . You can't afford to move "in the dark": what content should you create? When to create them? How to involve those who follow us? How to introduce ourselves? What language to use? In short, these are the same questions to ask yourself if you want to create a blog useful for your work. The two main advantages of social media are: the (relative) ease with which to acquire a following the brevity of content : on Facebook, for example, we are talking about a maximum of 70 words for a post and Twitter allows a maximum of 280 characters.
For Instagram, the ideal, they say, is to create a post between 138 and 150 characters, even if the limit is 2200. On LinkedIn the limit has been raised to 3000 characters, but after 140 the post is truncated and to read everything you have to click on “… see more”. The limits, in these cases, matter little, if not nothing: on social media, however, the immediacy of the message counts . Brevity, however, is not always synonymous with speed: you need to know how to summarize the message, creating curiosity, involvement, empathy. I'm not capable of it at all and I prefer to stay on my blog. Blog or social media: what do you prefer? Is it still worth opening one? This is the question Skande asks us at the end of his newsletter. The blog is now a sort of warehouse for him in which to store his best content and find information on his work, alongside the newsletter and LinkedIn. We must also consider that, on social media, everything we publish there is subject to algorithms .
