BellaOnline Forums Career Business Owners To Blog or Not to Blog?

Do you use a blog for your business?

I don't run an online business as such but I do put Amazon associate links in when I discuss books I'm reading or products I'm using and like. So I suppose because I'm using it to advertise it is classed as a commercial blog.

And I am already making some money out of it, someone bought Paint Shop Pro by clicking through from a blog link on my site, and I was paid over five dollars for that!

That is great news! And a really good example of how using a blog can get customers right to what you have to offer.

I started a personal blog several months ago. I decided it made sense to mention Bella and put links to my site because I talk about the site a lot in the Blog. I will probably continue to do that since at this point my site a part of me. I think I am moving out of the personal and into quasi-personal zone, but it feels right to move toward business also.

Business Blogs

If you�re a business owner and have a website then I sincerely hope you�re blogging! Did you know that only 7% of online business sites have a weblog? People just don�t realize the volume of clientele they can build with a simple �News and Updates� page linked to their site.

For those of you not familiar with blogging, this is a simple online journal of sorts that is easy to maintain and kept up by one person, although several can contribute as well. You can usually set up a blog at no cost to you through various services such as:
