10 reasons to have a business blog site

  1. It works for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Information is available (and buying decisions are made) on demand, anytime.
  2. Your business blog lets you show off your expert knowledge of your field and builds credibility in your community... and the world.
  3. No more waiting for your web designer to update your home page.
  4. It's like cloning yourself. Now you can talk to many people at the same time with just a single blog post, increasing your businesses' reach.
  5. Search engines like Google love blogs, because they love freshly updated sites with lots of links in and out - the definition of a business blog.
  6. Your business blog site turns your six column inch newspaper ad or your 30 second radio ad into a full-color, full-page marketing tool.
  7. We're interested in personality. Humanizing your business through blogging creates interest that's much stronger than P.R. babble.
  8. You can stop wondering if your mass email or e-newsletters are being stopped by spam filters or clogged inboxes.
  9. You can sell products directly from the site. Use the sidebars to promote your current specials or your key products and services.
  10. There’s just not enough room on a business card.
