If you don't have a business blog then you should strongly consider having one. They are actually a perfect way to market your business.

7 Reasons Why You Need A Business Blog

August 8, 2020 Filed Under: Blogging, Business Tips

Have a home-based business? If you don’t have a business blog then you should strongly consider having one.

While some people simply dismiss blogging, because of its description, as just an online journal, they are missing a lot of traffic and revenue-generating opportunities every day.

Are you one of those missing out?

Here’s the truth: blogs are much more than a simple online journal. They are actually a perfect way to market your business.

No matter what kind of business you have, creating a business blog is an essential part of your marketing plan.

Why You Need A Business Blog

I have come up with 7 reasons why every home business needs a business blog.

Table of Contents

  • Why You Need A Business Blog
    • Share News
    • Attract Customers
    • Get Found on Search Engines
    • Build a Reputation
    • Create Revenue Streams
    • Generate New Leads
    • Create Marketable Materials

Share News

Publishing a regularly updated blog helps you keep in touch with your customers. You can publish updates, news, or thoughts in your blog as well as answer questions.

Have a new product line? Blog about it. Having a giveaway? Blog about it. Planning to be in a local sales event or craft show? Blog about it. Keep your customer in the loop so they keep coming back for new items.

Attract Customers

A blog can help you attract new customers.  If your blog answers the visitors’ question or attracts their interest you have just found another new potential customer.

Get Found on Search Engines

Blogs that are regularly updated with quality content often rank higher in search engines than traditional web sites. Search engines love blogs and RSS feeds.

If you design your blog properly then every time you update it the search engines are notified. Using strong keywords in your posts, your blog will begin to appear on search engines attracting new visitors.

Are you wondering how a business blog will help you grow your business? Here are 7 reasons why you need to get started today.

Build a Reputation

Blogs can help you establish or build your reputation in a particular field. As your blog grows you will demonstrate your knowledge in your chosen niche.

Blog visitors will become your tribe of people who think of you as go-to person in your area of business.

Create Revenue Streams

Blogs are excellent revenue streams. In addition to whatever product or service you sell in your home business, your business blog can be monetized using advertising and affiliate links to create new ways you can earn income.

Generate New Leads

Blogs are great ways to generate leads. Once you get those people coming to your blog, offer a freebie when they sign up for your mailing list.

Your opt-in offer will attract people to become part of your inner circle of valued customers.

They will have access to your newsletters in the form of emails you send to further market and share your ideas/helps with them.

Create Marketable Materials

Creating your own blog is the easiest way to establish a presence on the Internet. You can use your blog posts as marketing material on social media.

Have quality graphics with good sizes for sharing on Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram, etc. This will help you attract more potential clients and give visitors an opportunity to share your business blog with others.

As you can see there are several benefits to starting your own business blog.

Depending on the type of hosting you have your current website, you may be able to simply get a WordPress blog created on the same web hosting account.

If that isn’t possible, or if you don’t have a website yet, you can get a domain and set up a WordPress blog fairly easy.

I recommend Siteground.

I have used them for some time and it’s always been reliable. You will want a professional-looking theme for your blog. I highly recommend the Astra Theme for setting up your blog, it’s fast and super easy to use.

If you don’t want to set up your blog yourself, you can hire a virtual assistant to do it for you.

    I agree with all of this! I think a lot of small businesses in particular are missing out on this – I’ve even thought about offering blog management for small businesses as a service. Great post!
