Be a problem solver

When I first heard that I had to create a marketing blog I was quite concerned about it because I’m not a blog kind of a person. I went to Google and tried to find out how to create one. so, I found lots of websites that allow you to create your own blog but with the servers' domain. I created an account in several websites just to see how it works and I needed to see if it was appealing to me. Then, I narrowed down my list to five sites: wordpress, webs, BlogSpot, blogger and Wix. Wix was giving me a hard time because it was cracking all the time. I couldn't choose a theme or manage my account so I just left it there. BlogSpot was too much work, to create an account you have to go back and forth and that’s annoying. It looked complicated to me. I don’t do complicated; I like things that are straight forward. Wordpress was basic and you don’t have much choice because most of the things that will show your creativity are locked (you have to pay for it). As a student and a youngster I don’t pay for staff on the internet so, I just left the site. I opted to use webs and left blogger as a back up plan. So I created an account, I posted some stuff and the site started to crack. It was taking for ever to upload, change the style, and it wouldn't post my posts some times then I decided to give blogger a chance. The reason I had a list of five programs to choose from is because I learned that in life you always have to have options so that if you are not happy with what you have or if something goes wrong you always have a substitute product. You always have to make a research and see what is appealing to you and narrow down your options. As a marketer I will always look for a substitute or complementary product because if plan ABC doesn't work you must have XYZ.
