Starting a business blog
As a writer and blogger, I’ve come to realize over the years that my passion is working with other small businesses. I enjoy helping them market their companies online, especially via blogging.
Blogging, to me, is as natural as speaking. And when small businesses speak to their potential and current customers, they build brand loyalty and increase sales.
Even if a business hasn’t made sales online in the past, marketing online makes a difference, even in the “face-to-face” world. Many customers research companies online before deciding to step into their store. I know I do.
Small businesses may not have huge marketing teams (obviously…they’re small businesses), but that doesn’t mean it’s necessary to miss out on the online sales opportunities. If you have a small business, start a business blog. You’ll be amazed at the benefits it brings.

I totally agree with you Theda!
For some reason, people believe that blogging is just for individuals, while some of the most popular blogs are commercial blogs that utilize their reach to promote their products and business!

Very true Theda,
Blogging is a great way to market your business. I also believe that Social sites and forums are great places to expand your reach. It’s all about connecting and caring about people. Everyone loves to buy from who they like.
All the best,

If you show that you care about people then you are not going to have any problem building and growing your blog. Also caring is going to get your blog around the internet. Show that you care and people with appreciate that more than anything.

Blogging goes a long way to providing a human face for your business. Thanks for the article.
I agree that blogging is a great way to promote your company on a small budget. I can give very good results.
Done correctly, I believe blogging is one of the best ways to build natural traffic to your business website.
Marketing online would be very useful even for a small business. And blogging is one great tool in building a significant relationship with your costumers. Through this, you can introduce your business share ideas and connect to your costumer freely.
I’ve told many businesses before that a blog is crucial and really helps to connect to customers. Some understand and integrate one while others just ignore the advice. It’s nice to see that someone else agrees with me

i agree with you,blogging is an effective source to promote our business online successfully.but experience is needed to maintain a successful blogging for small business.now a days most of the web people are interested to create a blogging for their business promotion.ultimately only experiences people are get good results in that field.
One thing I have learned is to talk about the topics I discuss with my clients on a daily basis.
It’s very true that small businesses speak to their potential and current customers, they build brand loyalty and increase sales. You won’t find many blogs from the employees of larger corporations. Why is that?
There are so many reasons to enhance your business with a blog. And that includes search engine optimization. Search engines love blogs and will often list them first in the search results. This is great for local listings as more and more people search the Internet for local businesses rather than use the Yellow Pages.

Blogging is a good thing when it comes to stay in contact with your clients (and prospects). But it is also time consuming, so I am trying to find a balance:-)
Couldn’t agree more! Blogging has added so much for me personally, and I too enjoy working with others. Thanks for sharing!

Blogging is a great way to make money. However with all of the new tax rules seeking to collect state sales taxes it is becoming more difficult to monetize a site as companies like amazon drop affiliates.
Our little german copyediting company used to run a blog about 5 years ago. Resonance was zero at that time. But maybe times have changed and we should start again. And maybe germany is a little behind US-blogging.

I totally agree with you! Blogs aren´t just for individuals talking about what struggles them. It is also helpful to use blog for shaing your products or services.
Thank you kindly for the great read! Adding a blog to your business website can be great in a number of ways. It does add a personal touch to your website for one. A big factor too is how a business blog can really help your search engine rankings propel. Search engines love updated website content and thus a blog is perfect for that!
Great post, I think a business blog is a great idea as its a unique way to communicate with your target market. Social media can then be a great help to get people to point to these blog posts.
Thank you for sharing. I completely agree with you. With the Internet offering so many free tools, I think every business owner should have a blog in addition to their company website. Blogs are an interactive platform for ideas, opinions, company news, promotions, etc. It is the most easiest and effetive way to do marketing.

I agree, I think that what we’re seeing is that more and more people are becoming authors and creating their own products. And you’re right, webmasters get to keep 100% of the revenue from their own products being sold on their site, while ad networks pay a much smaller portion of earnings. The situation should get better and better, as barriers to entry for both decrease year after year. Perhaps we will reach a point when everyone is selling their own product directly.
I’m fond of writing articles since then and I have to admit that it was my passion. At this time, I totally agree with you! Blogs aren´t just for individuals talking about what struggles them. It is also helpful to use blog for shaing your products or services.

That’s true, it is very surprising, but there are business that even today still do not have any internet presence at all. Some people are afraid of the web.
Definitely agree. A blog is a necessity for EVERY small business owner, even if it’s just to get some feedback from the community. Shame so few people use them …
Blogging is definitely important to any business. It serves as a tool to be personable, and at the same time an effective business approach to appeal to your website’s visitors. It’s a win/win.

Blogging is used not only for personal expression of thoughts but also for business purposes. The activities you need to do and how frequent these activities are depends on your purpose in creating a blog.
Absolutely right. People need to feel good energy from you before they buy some of your products.
Good approach for a small business – to use a blog. Some might say it takes too much time, but real long-term rewards are possible.
Well then it make sense for to start a business blog, I look forward to reading more on what you have to say about it.
I started blogging only as a hobby and also as an advocacy for my daughter’s autism. But I was amazed on how you can earn from it. I started doing small sites that are very informative. And I can say that for just a very small capital, it’s worth all the effort and time you invest. Thanks for this.
