From the teenagers there to a teacher who will be getting her new Transition year students to blog for the year to those of us who are parents and wondering how we encourage our kids to start one. Your talk was relaly relaxed, easy to follow and all of your points had personal examples to explain them, you’re a great presenter and digital storyteller’. We were all impressed how you handled the heavy criticism from the CYTI post.Well done and we’d love to get you again sometime before you starting charging huge money to come and present! ;-) glad to hear work experience went well, Lorna

I agree, you have to give it at least 3 months to see a result and I think that is the case with all social media. I found the blog got the site to a certain level and then twitter and facebook helped it to increase further.
I will do a post on KLCK next week :)

I know a lot of people who haven’t got around to blogging, they feel like they should but either haven’t started or aren’t doing it regularly enough to see the benefits. I do think when you start you should commit to it for at least 3 months. It can take a little while to start seeing results but after 3 months of consistent weekly blogging you will see a difference to your site traffic.

When I first set up Spiderworking.com I did no SEO on the site. All I did was blog and I saw traffic almost immediately. I also started ranking on page one of Google for ‘social networking Ireland’ and ‘social media Ireland’. This was almost immediate although I have to attribute some of this to my other social media activities. My blog still attracts most of the traffic to my blog and writing it means I’m always learning and improving my own knowledge and skills.

For anyone in Ireland wanting to start a blog we’re concentrating on taking the first step and conquering writers block at the next KLCK Bloggers Network. It’s in Carlow and all are welcome.

Goes to show that the discipline and confidence of blogging really does have a positive effect on business. There is definitely a confidence factor in putting your words up on the net that you hope will be read by many – perhaps your potential clients might like to have their blogs reviewed and get constructive feedback and advise. Best of luck to yourself and Marie – your joint venture is a great idea!
