“Blogging is dead, long live blogging” has practically become a colloquialism in the marketing universe but which is it? Is blogging dead? Years ago, it was easy. You were passionate about something, you wrote about it online, hopefully people read it. And then it evolved. Mom bloggers, fashion bloggers, lifestyle bloggers... And channels expanded to see the rise if Vine influencers, Instagram influencers and “Pinfluencers.” With, literally, millions of companies, brands, start-ups and agencies looking for the best social media “maven” to latch onto, the market has become remarkably over-saturated and truth be told, blogging, at least we as knew it these last few years, is dead.RSVP NOW: http://bit.ly/SMCLA_RIPblogsJoin Social Media Club LA and a panel of expert “eulogists” as we pay tribute to our beloved blogging and look to the future to discuss what’s in store.
