A Blog is also a place to see your progression of work and see where you were six months ago with your work. Due to advances in technology, Photographers have really needed to keep up on evolving trends and industry new comings. Cameras have been getting so advanced that they are marketing them as anyone can take a good photo now.

Another great aspect of having the Blog is the added extra bonuses you can have behind-the-scenes videos and photos. Your visitors can comment about your work. You can market the link to your Blog on other websites and web articles. keeping up on a Blog is also important and is a lot of work, but it can also get much easier once you get into the swing of it. Here are a couple main points to remember when doing a Blog.

• Post often, probably at least once a week.
• Use images in your posts to illustrate your point.
• Encourage feedback.
• Have fun with it!

• It is fun once you try it (seriously it is)
• You can voice your own opinions on certain topics and have them stand out over text content.
• You don’t have to be in the video. You can tape something your talking about behind the camera.
• It’s inexpensive to get started.
• Allows you to reach a larger audience.
• Anyone can do it. Even using a video enabled phone.

Next step find something you want to blog about. It’s best to choose something your interested in or something such as a hobby. Lets say you enjoy skiing during the winter months. So the next time your in Vail, make sure to tape some of your experience then post it later. Your video can relay information about your experience to the already popular resort destination. Maybe you want to show people how to cook an apple pie, everyone loves apple pie right? Ok maybe not but showing a step by step process of a how to would be very helpful for anyone who wants to learn.

Now that you have done your video, you will need to decide what your going to do with your video. You can upload it to many different sites such as YouTube, Blip.tv, Vimeo, Flickr or google video. Once you have created an account and uploaded your video, most of these site will also allow you to use the video on your own Web site or blog. Find the area where you can copy the link code to the video then you can add the code to your site or blog. Bam! your now video blogging. It’s fun and easy to do.
