Blogging. Why you and your company should be doing it. Blogs are becoming more and more popular with companies wanting to increase their presence online. Sure, it is great you have a website, however, how can you keep in touch with them on a regular basis, to let everyone see what’s new at your business? An excellent way is blogging.
At its most basic level, a blog is almost like a journal. You can add new entries anytime you would like and talk about anything. Obviously, when you are running your own company, you would be talking about topics relevant to your company. If you’re a web design company, post blogs about advances in web designs. If you’re a doctor, blog about different treatments that may interest your patients. This gives people a reason to keep coming back to your site, you are offering content they find interesting. At the same time, you are keeping your name in front of them. Another advantage of having a blog is that as you post blogs you are also establishing yourself as an expert in your field. Sure, you may know you’re an expert, your mom may know it, but what about everyone else. Blogging adds credibility to you and your business. Another big advantage of blogging is that individuals can subscribe to your blog. This means that every-time you post new content, advertise a new product or service or any other news, it is delivered right to the doorstep (figuratively). Actually, it cost nothing. Search Engines also love blogs! The new content you post will be found throughout Google, and other search engines. Imagine hundreds of posts out there talking about what you can offer customers and clients. Now, every one of those posts has your contact information and a link back to your website on it. This can greatly benefit yourself, even making your rank in search engines improve dramatically.
