BellaOnline Forums Career Business Owners Does anyone use a blog to promote their biz?

Thank you to all for the great information. I've already followed the links a couple of you have provided. Now I need to make a couple of decisions as to which programs to invest in. The niche courses sound the most promising.

Thanks again for sharing.

I posted on Blogger, Nowpublic, Netsquares, and Wordpress. They really work for me. You can try.

Writing is a blog for business is a trend for two reasons. First, people want information. If your business has a blog and the blog has useful information about what consumers are looking for, visitors will come back frequently for more information. For instance, if you sell computer software and explain how to install and use it, people will find the information on the blog helpful, so they will come back for more info on that subject. Second is for SEO. Nowadays, Google is very important. Everybody googles information. If you have some information on your blog and people like the info, people will link your blog to where they go to. More inbound link you get from other people, you are more likely to get higher rank on Google. In the end, you will get more traffic and higher conversion rates.

I just started a blog. Have not published it yet. I did some research and was overwhelmed. Thanks for your information. I helps.
