The thought leaders in Social Media have been, well thinking. They’ve produced a PDF providing us their predictions for 2009. I’ve read the PDF, here’s what I think there is for us (the mum bloggers, the mumpreneurs or wannabe mumpreneurs, the work at home mums or wannabe work at home mums).

From David Armano

Organizations will come to terms with the reality that although it is now ?cheaper? to launch an initiative leveraging Web 2.0 technology?it requires qualified and passionate people to make them successful. This will not be easy for many businesses/brands as it brings up a host of issues
ranging from empowering employees & agencies to have direct contact with customers, to staffing up projects differently. 2009 will prove that the Web is not powered by technology alone. Organizations will realize they require warm bodies and bright minds in order to successfully execute programs, whether they be external or enterprise.

Is this going to mean that there are more work at home jobs for web savvy stay at home parents like you and I? Or will this kind of work be outsourced at ultra low cost like the virtual assistant market? I think both will happen, larger businesses may outsource at low cost but there will always be a large small business market that need people to manage their blog, their email list, and to carry out blog marketing exercises. Could this be a niche that web savvy stay at home mums could fill?

So there you have it, instantaneous blogging like twitter will be big, podcasting will be big, but video will be the biggest.
