Because blogging like a professional gives you the following four power boosts which are crucial for career growth across countries and industries:

Blogging:

  • Helps you to present your know-how, expertise, in-depth knowledge in your field of work with a clear discipline and focus
  • Helps you to gain massive visibility and brand reach among your industry peers, clients, prospects
  • Helps your organization, through these blog post articles, etc to gain further reach, brand visibility.
  • Helps your company’s prospects and customers to feel more assured that they not only have a digital place to reach out to, in case of any queries while transacting business with your organization, but also get an assurance that the professionals handling their products and or services or brand etc are truly experts and masters in their field of work and area of expertise.

This reassurance empowers not only you as a professional, but also adds tremendous boost to your organizations reputation and credibility in terms of the quality and skills of the employees of that organization.

So if you are a Corporate Professional looking forward to further boost your career, here are seven ways in which Blogging can help you achieve the same:

  1. Expertise: “KNOWLEDGE IS POWER”

Who doesn’t like to work with professionals who are exceptionally well informed, educated, experienced in their field of work. Blogging about your field of work enables you to do just that. It helps you to create readership among your industry peers, customers, leads, prospects and reassures your position as an expert in your industry.

2. Empower, Educate & Grow as a Leader:

“As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others ~ Bill Gates”

Perfectly quoted by one of the greatest business and industry leaders of all time, Bill Gates.
Today, leaders are those who can empower others.
Well, honestly, that’s always been the case, but it stands true today more than it did so ever before.
A true leaders finds a way to pass on his or her learning and ensures that professionals, peers, subordinates, community etc around them also grow together.
Blogging is an amazingly powerful way to do just that. It enables you to generate articles, content, posts, etc about topics that you have tremendous experience over and gives you a platform to pass on that information to those who want to tread  a similar career path.
Another massive advantage is the fact that through blogging, you can help people across countries grow too. Building such a powerful readership transcends and breaks all barriers today as the world is shrunk into one single global village.

3. Discipline and Professionalism:

“Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected ~ Steve Jobs”

One of the most important qualities you will need to posses as a professional blogger is “discipline“. Consistently blogging valuable and resourceful content for end readers is a crucial part of building a blog audience and community.

4. Don’t just live… Thrive: Build a community & grow with passion:

“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style ~ Maya Angelou”

Blogging is simply put about community building. When you connect with like minded professionals across industries and countries, your reach as a business grows. Your brand recognition increases. People connect with you professionally and are able to build trust that grows stronger with every post, article and real-time conversation through your blogging platform. The easiest way to grow in a corporate environment today is:

  • Be known exceptionally well for your field of work and area of expertise
  • Be trustworthy across peers and industry professionals
  • Be an individual that values human connect and growth coupled with constant learning and connect

5. Be Ready: It’s now about NOW… it’s for the long run:

“I will prepare and some day my chance will come ~ Abraham Lincoln”

No one wants an employee in their organization who is working in that company with a short term career plan or focus in his or her mind. Organizations spend millions and billions of dollars today to train their top employees and create industry leaders. So obviously, they are looking for professionals who have a long term career chart in mind while joining their organization. By being a part of a blogging community, sharing resourceful articles, posts etc from time to time, you do just that. You send a clear message that you are here for the long run. Because,
“Blogging is not a one time process of strategy. It’s a daily effort with a sincere idea to add VALUE to end users.” It takes tremendous time, efforts and discipline to build a professional blog and it is only for those corporate professionals who know that they are ready to give in everything they have and more to make that dent in the universe and grow with it in the process.

6. What makes you UNIQUE: What makes You stand-out? Why are You so important?

“To succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to your goal ~ A. P. J. Abdul Kalam”

Here again, just randomly having your team attend a training program is not going to cut it out for you. You need to ensure while planning such training programs the following aspects without fail:

  • Skill levels of employees
  • Interest levels of employees
  • Incentives or appraisals the employees can except on such skill upgradation within the organization. Remember, if your only goal is to make sure they adapt, learn new things to do more work, you are probably heading down the wrong path. You need to keep employee growth as an integral part of their learning process too. If you want them to learn and become the best digital marketing professional in your industry or organization or the most influential digital marketing leader who can empower, design and implement digital strategies etc right from the start then you need to give them the right set of incentives for them to learn, grow in their jobs and at the same time ensure they make the best of the learning process to deliver exceptionally well for your organization too.
  • Final process: Get them to engage and interact with each other too. This will enable you to understand which employee is specialized in which digital skill for eg. each one of them could be exceptionally good at different aspects like, content, or coding, or SEO, or creative ideas, or numbers & analytics or creating ads & offers that appeal to end users or writing quality blog posts, newsletters, etc. So find out who is good at what and let them keep exploring their areas of specialization within the digital marketing realm. It’s a vast field and there are so many things to do, learn and implement when you look at the difference between digital marketing and social media marketing itself.

So ensure your organization is not just a part of the digital marketing trends for 2017 but rather, is able to boost these strategies for a customized digital marketing campaign that is relevant to your organizational goals and real ROI.

Digital Strategy:

Your digital strategy needs to make sure it focuses on the following:

Quality Leads: Focus on the word QUALITY here. So rather than having 10,000 leads or enquiries through the year with a 1% conversion rate focus on may be using the right tools, process, marketing and management strategies to get may be 1,000 leads but with a much higher and way better actual sales conversion rate. This in the long run will also add value to your business.

Email subscribers lists: This is a powerful way to generate leads. Lots of websites make a massive mistake even today not giving users or website visitors an option to easily subscribe for updates from the business by merely sharing their email address. You could add incentives by creating quality content and giving users an option saying SUBSCRIBE for Resourceful UPDATES with a SINGLE CLICK HERE and they could add their email id in return for quality content, free e-books, free downloads, white papers, case studies etc. Once a website visitor gives you their email address you have an opportunity to engage and connect with them in the long run for more real-time conversations. Purchasing email lists from others or using the same without approval from those email users is a strict NO.

Here the idea is simple: DELIVER VALUE every single time with quality content.

VALUE could be in the form of a case study based download, or step by step how to guides, e-book which helps them with analytics, customer insights, etc about their industry, email newsletter updates that sincerely shares new and original content each and every time a new article is updated, helps these readers solve an actual problem that they could be facing in their business, provide extended chat based support from time to time using social media or social networking platforms, free webinars, a timezone across different days when prospects could reach out to you to ask queries wherein you can share your experience and know-how to help and or assist them etc.

These, will be real value-adds in every sense of the term.
