Activist blogs.
You know them when you see them.
While the first thought might run to the various political blogs, I am referring more to the blogs that are issue related.
For example, an activist blogger might write about the environment, abortion, legalizing drugs, or missing children, just to name a few.
Activist blogs usually are single issue, and for good reason. The blogger wishes to concentrate the entire blog's efforts toward a single goal.
Along with those various hot button issues, there will be controversy and negative feedback, as part of the overall package.
My friend Trudy Shuett of WOLves, when she's not writing about the value of business blogs and writers' blogs, is also an activist blogger.
Trudy provides a few handy suggestions, for those of you who are working toward a worthy cause. She knows from experience the highs, and unfortunate lows, that go along with activist blogging.
A blog certainly provides some powerful techniques for aiding your chosen cause, and working toward those important goals.
The blog will enable your voice to be heard in a crowd of other worthwhile organizations. The search engine visibility alone, makes the exercise a powerful one indeed.
Daily posts on your cause will keep readers returning for more information, either through bookmark, link, or site feed. Other people working to achieve the same societal changes will also link to your blog.
The mainstream media is constantly searching for spokespeople on various issues. A blogger is an ideal person to fill that role. With daily postings, and the necessary research to fill them, the blogger is very well informed on the topic.
Whether you are tying to change the world, or just your own little corner, activist blogs might provide the ideal outlet for your ambitions.
