"If you have a talent, use it in every way possible. Don't hoard it. Don't dole it out like a miser. Spend it lavishly like a millionaire intent on going broke."

Who is Blogging Betty Boomer?

Who is Blogging Betty Boomer?
By Rosemary Horner

Blogging Betty Boomer was created by artist, Ray Horner Jr.to characterize the many blogging boomers who may not realize their full impact on the blogging world. She is so busy creating and sharing ideas that she is not fully tapping into her richness as a blogger who happens to be a boomer.

Yet many boomers do not blog because they feel it is for "young folks. They shy away from the computer and the social marketing power of the internet for their business or non-profit interests.

Blogging Betty Boomer is a woman who is so involved in her mission and reasons for blogging that she does not focus on the mental limitations that many other boomers may allow themselves to experience. She has chosen not to sabotage her efforts by telling herself she is too old. She will learn as she goes and share her frustrations and sometimes steep learning curves but she will not stop.

Why Does Blogging Betty Blog?

The reasons why Blogging Betty Boomer blogs can include the following:

Before you start blogging decide on WHY YOU ARE BLOGGING! What is your objective? There are so many reasons why people blog. Some of them I have run across are listed below.

* To be seen as an expert in her niche by current and potential customers.
* To systematically write a book or booklet with a series of postings
* To rant about issues.
* To be the "go to person" for the latest updates. (For example, news commentaries, reviews on books and movies, etc)
* To provide a platform for others to discuss common interests.
* To share information gained on a new area of interest.
* To earn money via ads, affiliates, product sales, memberships, coaching,etc
* To direct traffic to a static website.
* Because non-boomers are blogging she does want to be left out.

Think about what you could blog about. Your name may not be Betty it could be Ben but you still have a lot to say especially if you are a baby boomer. If you are already blogging. Appreciate and strut your stuff. You have so much to share and a lot to say. Help someone else with your expertise and experience.
