Multimedia Tools

      Blogging is one of the better ways to get your content out their for your readers, especially if you want to get paid as a writer or even creating a blog for the business you work for. If your content is creative, there will simply be more people on your blog. Good and different content is distributed through different networks and one of the best ways to improve your blog content is by using multiple tools. With the internet we have access to images, videos, and other amazing information that can be used on your blog if cited properly. This will help your blog rank higher in the social media world.

      Most people I talk to about blogging consider it as just simply writing on the internet, but it is much more than that. Blogging is utilizing different multimedia to get a point across and today writing is just one part of the blogging world. Now a person can use videos, images, audio and other content to help improve upon their writing and to enrich their writing. Many people seem to be visual learners today and with the invent of the internet more and more people like to see images laid out in front of them for their eyes to see. When blogs blend images, videos or even audio it can create multiple contents for people and it is also helpful for businesses to give their product a single resource that is full of information using different multimedia tools. This helps promote the product or service that people are interested in. One way to get your blog out to more people is by posting a blog link to your other social media sites you use such as Facebook, Twitter and even Youtube. Any visual aids that are used on your blog can add to posts and make them more visually appealing.

     Some of the best multimedia tools to use are videos, images and audio. People love videos and images because it helps them "picture" the words or see the words in live action. Any videos or images that can help add to the text are just adding to your blog and this might result in more people becoming attracted to your blog. Many businesses that use blogs like to have images on their blog sites or even videos for that matter. It can help their clients have a better vision of what they are trying to promote/sell or advertise. Audio posts on blogs can help someone that is more of an auditory learner or person that likes to hear information being read out to them instead of reading the text themselves. People today are all about multitasking and it is nice for people to see different multimedia tools used on blog pages.



Adding images to your blog can help you grow the size of your audience!

  1. Hi Cody,
    I like your tips about blogging and how to make your blog more engaging with video. I like it when blogs use a mix of photos, video, or animation just to add some variety to the text.. Have you ever considered starting a blog for your band?
    Thanks for your post,
    Susan

  2. Hi Cody,

    I know that you are a teacher and I was curious to know how your classroom is using multimedia tools in learning. I know that my company's training department has a HUGE push on technology in the classroom. Your thoughts?

    Thanks!
