I remember when I first adopted social media marketing as a way to promote my business. It was January 2009—just over 5 years ago so the memory is fairly clear.

The theme of this year’s #mnblogcon was “growth” But, for my keynote, I attempted to take things a little different direction and talk about what growing my blog has been all about–because really, it hasn’t been about the numbers, followers or like and comment totals.

My employer launched a print magazine, website and social presence telling stories about health and community to business audiences, which is still going, BetterTennessee.com.

To that end, and assuming there’s a business strategy and marketing strategy in place, those priorities should be as follows: Owned – website, blog, newsletter. Shared – social channels. Earned – media or influencer relations. I look back to 2008 and 2009 and I think we had the priorities right.

It’s easy to believe there are a million marketing blogs but that’s just not true. If you blog about marketing – especially with any semblance of frequency – you are in fact among a fair small group. There are more blogs focused on personal development than any other topic, according to the survey.
