10 Reasons Why You Should Blog As a Business Owner

If you work for yourself or have a side hustle, you will know that the business of conducting business can be choppy at times. A few weeks back, a client of mine whose website I’d been writing monthly blog posts for called to tell me that she would no longer be needing my services. After some probing, I discovered that someone had told her that such an investment was a waste of money (the same person who had initially referred me to her!)

I asked her if she felt as if she’d been wasting her money.  Her response? Well, she confessed she loved the blog posts but had been confused since hearing that piece of advice.

If you’re a brand owner of any kindyou’re probably wondering why in God’s world your website should feature a blog page (that you should keep up to date!)

Read on to find out why you should blog as a business owner.

10 Reasons Why You Should Blog As a Business Owner

1. Posting on your blog page is likely to boost your SEO ranking. Especially if the same keywords and phrases appear in your blog posts. But you need to post regular, quality content.

2. Writing on various topics relating to your product or service positions you as an expert in your field thus building trust

3. Blogging helps to showcase your brand personality,  thus building stronger relationships with current and potential customers.

4. Blogging gives you the chance to showcase your “behind the scenes” thus building an appreciation for your brand.

5.  Your blog page will become the life source of your social media marketing strategy. You can post links to your social media profiles from your blog, and conversely lead people back to your blog page from your social media profiles.

6. Posting regularly will help to make the communication between you and your audience two way. If you get your blogging right, you will encourage readers to leave comments and questions. Increased Engagement will fortify the business-client relationship.

7. It’s a fun and lighthearted way to interact with your business. After all the number crunching and strategising, blogging can actually be therapeutic.

    Keep your eye on the sprouting wheatgrass, which should start sprouting within a few days. Once little sprouts start to appear, like below, remove the cover. You should not need to water at any point during this time. If you do, your wheatgrass may be in too much direct light/heat. Also don't over water, because the wheat berries will mold.kizi free online Games games free for kidsfriv free Games 2019
