5 Reasons You Should Blog

Google LOVES Blogs

When your blog is ready, Google crawls your pages and it will be listed on Google search. It means you will start receiving additional visitors from the search engines. Isn’t that great? Search engines help to bring new people to your blog that can become your new friends or future business partners. When you blog, you automatically create a new link that the search engine spiders crawl. More links to your website mean higher google ranking.

Blogging Helps Other People

You can spread your expertise and knowledge through blogging. Heck, you can even help other people with specific problems. Let’s say you have blog about “day care”. There are many women out there who are looking for help/solutions/ideas to raise up their children while having them in day care. Your experience or advice could be essential and very helpful.
The same thing goes with any other blog topic. EVERY blog helps someone in their own way. I remember when I started to get emails saying “Thanks for providing such valuable information”. It was a great feeling and I still feel that way!

Self-promotion and New Opportunities

When you have a blog you basically have a “tool” or a “channel” to promote yourself or make you look like you are an expert in your field. You’ll be amazed how many people start to respect you and share your posts and social platform posts. I know many cases when businesses actually contacted a blog owner directly to offer them a job. Blogs are very effective to find positions or joint venture opportunities. This will open a lot of doors that you might have not been aware of or dreamed of.

Use Blogs To Stay in Touch

Another reason to have a blog it to stay in touch. Active people tend to have less time to sit on Facebook or other social platforms during the course of the day. But a blog can help you to keep in touch with your friends, colleagues, relatives and past clients. They can easily read everything about your activities, ideas and success through your blog. Be wise and use this as a communication tool (especially for past clients. Friend them on social platforms and share your expertise.)

A Blog Can Help You Grow Your Business

Does your company have a blog? If not, then you are missing out on a lot of potential buyers, clients and leads. Blogs can tell a lot about your company.
For example, your potential clients can read interesting stories about your company success, ideas, strategies and even new products that might turn them into regular paying customers. That’s a huge opportunity that many small firms are not using.
Furthermore, companies who blog have 97% more inbound links (which means more traffic and visitors).
