The important thing to remember is that there are over 300 million blogs in the world today. If you want to stand out from the crowd and create content that simply isn’t a waste of time, you need to be original and cater to your audience across all platforms.
One of the best ways to do this is through the use of online video.

Imagine this: Launch day has come. Over the past couple of weeks, you’ve been excitedly preparing for the launch of your blog, and today is the day. You wake up, rush to your computer, and quickly log on to your freshly launched blog, and….
