DJ-ing content: The Other Blogging
Throughout our Mobile Social Media strategy training course at YouReach University, a major training focus is on content. What content is appropriate where, different content mediums, what makes content valuable and engaging, and examples of good and bad content across the web. Many Real Estate agents reach their bottleneck in Social Media because they simply cannot come up with more than one or two lines of content.
The good news is, you do not have to be a journalist to manage a blog. In addition to capturing mobile content in the field and sharing these photos or videos or stories that contain a short caption with your spheres, many people, not just real estate agents, have shifted into a practice that we at YouReach call “DJ-ing” content.
Think about a DJ- they don’t write music, they play it. DJ’s mix beats, music and sound to create something new for listeners. In today’s bloggosphere, people and bloggers will share links from other blog or news articles and share their own comments and opinions on the subject. These comments can range from just a few sentences to the length or longer of the article.
The point is, you can create valuable content online by elaborating and continuing a conversation that has been started. Or you can ask questions and start conversations around local to global news or different social objects that interest you.
Remember that to be a successful blogger, you don’t always need to be original in your subjects, and that when you “don’t know” what to write about, find something that has already been written and share it with your two cents. Add your own value, show your personality, and populate your online networks with something interesting.
