Let’s start with why business owners do not blog yet, this could be you-

1. First thing we often hear is that they think it will take a ton of time. This is a misconception. Blogging for a few minutes each week is enough to get started and can take you all of under 15 minutes to do. So, time is really not a reason to not blog.
2. Some people think it is going to cost them a lot, again, we only take 5 hours or more, depending on how advanced you want to get, so the cost is minimal to you and the businesses we have done blogs for find it very affordable. It pays them back within a few weeks.
3. Next reason we most often hear is that it may be hard to learn how to blog. First off, we include the training in our cost. As a past teacher myself, I am patient and enjoy teaching our clients how to post. It usually takes no more than 1 hour and more most people that are working on computers already, it can take as little as 15 minutes to have your first blog posts up with photos. So, it is not hard to learn.
4. Why should I blog, I don’t see the reasons for this? We get this question a lot and we should get this question a lot because blogging is still new all things considered. You can see our other post regarding why your business needs a blog. But to repeat just a few main reasons here, first, it is great for search engine optimization and driving traffic to your website, next, it makes you an expert in your field, third, you can be more in contact with your clients and potential clients on a weekly basis as they read your blog posts. The list of pros for a corporate blog is long.

Business Blogs, can be used internally to enhance the communication and culture in a company or externally for marketing, public relations or branding purposes, often called “corporate blogs”.

We use Word Press to support our clients as we find it to be the best platform out there currently for blogging. With thousands of supported themes, we can work with any theme and alter the colors, graphics and layout to match the branding of your company.

On our dedicated server, we can install any of the many Word Press plugins – just some examples are – Google Site Map indexing, Permalinks (links that make sense to search engines) and Page Ordering (allowing you to control your page order yourself).

When your Word Press blog is done, we train you in how to post on your blog and how to add pages using Word Press. We have yet to have any person need more than 1 hour of training to get started posting, which says a lot for the ease of use Word Press brings.

3 Main Reasons a company blog is worth your investment:

SHOW that YOU ARE THE EXPERT IN YOUR FIELD
Your Blog will show you off as the expert in what you do. With your thoughts and ideas, people will learn that you are indeed the top leader in your business field. Add a little innovation into your postings and watch your subscriber list grow. Offer free advice and resources and people will be knocking down your blog door.

ENHANCE YOUR RELATIONSHIPS
Blogs allow you to interact with customers, clients on a more personal level. They can comment directly on your blog, allowing for customer discussions, providing tips and also needed feedback.

YOUR CONTENT is READ and CHECKED REGULARLY
Your subscribers of your blog will get up to date information from you as often as you’d like them to. Instead of being passive about information, the blog allows you to share any news you’d like, in a quick and effective manner. Unlike e-newsletters that often get stuck in people’s spam folders, your blog is always up for your clients and potential clients to come back to. Also, we offer ability to e-mail out the latest feeds to your clients and potential clients as text, a sure way to get your clients’ attention.
