Should you add a blog to your website?
Lately you hear alot about social media networking: Twitter, Facebook, blogging and more. Social media consultants recommend using networking to increase your visibility. I think we can all benefit from using social media networking. In addition, I think you should use the social networking tool(s) that you will really USE on a regular basis. Starting something new and then stopping before you give it a chance to work doesn't do much to help your business. I really thought about what social media networking tool would be the best fit for me and I decided on blogging using Moveable Type. I can blog in the evening while I watch TV. This could be the right networking tool for you, too. Have you thought about adding a blog; but, you are not sure if it is a good idea. Well, here are some good reasons to be a blogger.
- Blogging provides you a platform to reach your customers and potential customers so you can provide them with relevant business information. You can tell your customers about promotions, new products, new services, and include photos to personalize your blog even more. You also can provide your customers with tips on how to use your products and/or services.
- Blogging can save you money and keep your customers informed. Instead of adding a bunch of pages to your website, just blog.
- When you add a blog to your website, you enhance your search engine optimization which results in increased website visibility for your business. This ultimately leads to more internet traffic for you. Sounds good, huh?
- Google indexes blogs daily because blogs provide fresh content. When is the last time you provided new content to your website? Would you like to increase your Google or Bing placement? Adding a blog may just be the answer for you.
