What is a Blog?

“…a blog is a type of website that is usually arranged in chronological order from the most recent ‘post’ (or entry) at the top of the main page to the older entries towards the bottom,” (Darren Rowse, Probloger).  As a business owner, a blog can be used to promote your business and engage customers.  You may have a catalog of reasons for steering clear of this form of communication, which may include;

  1. I don’t know how to write.
  2. There are already so many blogs out there.
  3. I don’t have time.

To take care of reasons one and three you may want to hire someone to write for you.  When it comes to reason number two, it’s important to remember that the fact that there are so many blogs out there probably means that your competition is also already on the blogging scene, and in order to compete, you may need to get out there as well and show your customers and potential customers what distinguishes you from the competition.

Possible Benefits of Blogging

  • Produces relevant content about your business
  • Lets customers relate to what your business does

  • Can be repeated and reposted via emails, and social networking sites

  1. Make sense
  2. Encourage interaction
