If your small business doesn't have a blog yet, you're really missing out.
The good news is that it's not too late! But first ... why am I getting onto you about having a company blog? You may even be asking yourself, "What's the big deal if I have one or not?"
There are many reasons why your business needs a blog.
Here are just a few:
They give your business a voice.
Blogs help you become the authority in your craft.
The stuff you blog about is value-added content your audience is searching for right now. This is your opportunity to give it to them before someone else does.
Having a blog brings potential customers back to your website.
Brand recognition. The more eyes on your company, the better.
Improved insight into what your customers want.
Fresh content is Google's love language.
What Are Blogs?
People always ask me what content writing projects keep me busy the most as a professional writer for small businesses. The answer is blogs and website copy.
Why? Because they are the bread and butter of most content writing strategies for businesses across all industries. But that doesn't mean everyone knows what a blog is.
Blogs are short, informal web articles (you're reading one now) that you write for current and prospective clients to share ideas, best practices, industry trends, fun topics, etc. A few examples of blog ideas would be a fitness pro sharing 5-10 tips on how to lose weight or a roofing company writing advice about what to do after a hail storm. And the more of them you write, the better. Blogging consistently helps your company stand out while highlighting your personality, sparking engagement, and even allowing you to share pearls of wisdom.
This is why I ask, "Does your business have a blog yet?"
Every business needs a blog. And if we're being honest, they're not that hard to start. The problem for many business owners is that they get bogged down by three truths:
They don't have the time to write a blog.
They don't want to write.
They probably shouldn't be writing anything because their grammar isn't that good.
