Facebook and Twitter may dominate the current social media landscape, but that doesn't mean that blogging—the granddaddy of social media—shouldn't play a role in your marketing mix. Producing a blog remains a great way to put a personable public face on your company, brand, or product. Plus, blogs provide a solid platform for engaging your customers (and prospects) with fresh content while establishing your authority within an industry.

In this Take 10, Michael Miller, author of The Ultimate Web Marketing Guide, gives solid reasons for establishing a company blog, discusses where it should reside, and offers suggestions on the types of content to include as well as ideas on enlisting content contributors. After listening to this Take 10, you'll be ready to get the pieces in place to launch your own company's blog.
