By Annie Jennings

Add lots of buzz to your business, your reputation and your standing in your industry by becoming a socially relevant expert. It's not hard to do this and once you do, you'll get high quality attention and attract new clients. Begin by following the major internet news sites and spot the stories that pertain to your area of expertise. Choose to follow these stories as they develop so you can have a history of knowledge on the story. Start to form opinions about these news stories based on your own expertise and knowledge.

The perfect format for becoming a socially relevant expert is to create a blog. It's formal enough so that you will give it your best shot but not intimidating so you don't do it at all. Get started forming an opinion about the news in your area of expertise and write your reaction and commentary about the issues on your blog. You will get the chance to learn how to form and opinion and express your opinion in short sentences that are known in the publicity and media industry as sound bites. Keep your content fresh, relevant and based in the news of the day. The media wants to stay next level and cutting edge in their reporting so keep your commentary on what is happening right now.

Many people wonder how often they should blog. Blogging everyday is a great start but certainly when there is a news event where you can offer insight and commentary. You want to keep your finger on the pulse of what is happening right now in your industry so as soon as the news breaks, get blogging. This way, you will know exactly what is happening in the stories you are following.

Stay current and stay cutting edge. This is what being socially relevant is all about. Don't worry, after several weeks of blogging you will soon get the hang of it and be able to create insightful commentary very quickly as you will have a history of knowledge at hand as well as some practice writing in shorter, more concise sentences and thoughts. The more you know about your industry and its challenges and the more answers you have to help your industry the more in demand your services will be.

Don't forget its all about staying fresh, cutting edge and original. The more you blog the more you will be able to create strong and solid original material because your commentary will be based in your rich history of knowledge following the unfolding of a story or news event. As you create meaningful commentary for your audience you will realize your tremendous talent and appreciate your experience. Understanding that you can help solve problems and that your input is important and meaningful will give you confidence and propel your career to all new levels of success.
