Business Blogs: A Vital Part of the Content Nation

The world of digital content is changing the way we do business and market our businesses. It's just the beginning of a tsunami, and right now the wave is navigable. You need to get your boat in the water.

You need to understand what is happening world-wide... how did we get here and where are we going? How is this content evolution going to affect you? How will you change the way you deliver your messages? How can you make your business blog an important participant in the digital content revolution?

Do you want to become your own media, engage, share, participate, and make your voice heard? Then get yourself over to Content Nation and read this collaborative book brought to us by John Blossom.

This book is vital to understanding how small businesses and professionals everywhere must change their approach to not only marketing but the way they deliver services. That includes us all, even small businesses and independent professionals.

Social media communications are changing the content provider industry. To truly understand how it's affecting you in your industry, the the impact for your business blog, read this:

Content Nation: Surviving and Thriving as Social Media Technology Changes Our Lives and Our Future. 

Developed through a collaborative wiki, this book is a collection of information from social media experts and serves as an example of how social media impacts the way we provide and receive content. 

From cave paintings to Craigslist — the content evolution is going on right now and we are all participating in it. Better to be aware so you can ride the crest of the wave rather than be swept under or ignored.

This book is revolutionary not only in its scope, but in the way it came to be. Through the wiki collaboration process, it evolved and developed online at ContentNation.com — literally created by the social media it examines. Hundreds of individual publishers contributed to its content.

It's even revolutionary in the way it is delivered to readers: you have a choice:

1. Read it online at the website
2. Buy the print edition and read the book
3. Buy the electronic book edition on Kindle

If you have sent an e-mail, voted in a Web poll, posted a video on YouTube, or sent a text message, you are part of Content Nation. You are already part of the evolution.

• What does it mean to be a provider of content in a global environment?
• What are the challenges to marketing, enterprise, and government?
• Discover the seven secrets of social media
• Meet the three tribes of Content Nation: personal, media, and enterprise publishers
• See how collaboration expands the scope of content
• Catch a glimpse of life in a future built on Content Nation
• Understand how social media affects the balance of power
• How do you become a good citizen of Content Nation?

I know this isn't a blog about books, or Internet marketing trends, but when really important information like this is published, we want you to be informed. Business blogs are a vital part of the Content Nation. But it's up to each one of us to make our own particular blog vital and influential.

You can't do that without looking at history, other industries, and the micro-trends. Content Nation will help you do that.

Thanks for the coverage of the book, "Content Nation" talks a lot about how social media is important to business, especially small businesses. It gives us our voice back and enables us to reach our customers in ways that traditional media can never do.

All the best,
