It didn't take long for the savy entreprenuer to recognize the value of sharing your deepest marketing thoughts with information starved wanna-bes. And the art of blogging grew from there.
Now blogging is a powerful part of online marketing. It takes less work than keeping fresh content on your website. Yes it takes time, but it is time required if you want to stay up in the rankings with the search engines where you will be found by the information seeking online community.
If you want to be effective with your online marketing then you are going to have to blog. You can't just put together a nice website with all your valuable information and beautiful pictures and expect people to fall all over themselves to get to you. You have to recognize the power the search engines have in your business and you have to give them what they want. And what they want is "fresh content".
Google loves blogs. And no matter what you think of Google, online Google is King. And what Google wants is quality, fresh content for their customers. That's why Google loves blogs.
So, back to my question - Is blogging worth the time? The answer is absolutely yes! Take the time to put together quality information on a regular basis and you set yourself up as an expert in your field. Google loves you and puts you right up front for your keyword so that people that are looking for your information finds you on your top ranked blog and recognize your expert status. As they recognize you as an expert they develop a trust in you and what you have to offer. From there it is a short leap to valued customer.
That's why every successful online entreprenuer has a blog and spends valuable time blogging on a regular basis. Do your research and get your facts right. Write what you have to say in an easy to read, friendly manner and include pertinent links to build your credibility. The search engines will do the rest.
Blissful Blogging,
