2 Reasons Why Blogs Are Good
For Business And Self Growth
Blogs Can Be Very Valuable
- Valuable for building relationships with those people who share your values, goals and perspectives on life and business.
- Valuable for continuing your own self development program: such as in the area of writing for instance.
- Valuable for building the art of communication between you, your potential customers, and people who look to you for resources you recommend.
One Good Way Is…
Making quality comments on blogs. For an example of this, see my post where I shared the quality comments of people who have made comments on my blog. Excellent examples of how commenting is done.
Try to choose blogs that…
- You relate to personally.
- You relate to from a business perspective.
- That complement your niche.
- And that you feel you can contribute to in one form or another.
And don’t forget: try to get back to those you feel most comfortable with and post when appropriate. In other words, consistency can help!
If you are still curious about how this can boost your business, check out these two big reasons why blogging boosts business.
Reason Number One: Name Recognition
The best way to get exposure for yourself and or business is repeated exposures to your targeted marketing group.
Think of it this way: repeated exposures + targeted efforts = more possibility of quality name recognition.
- Naturally, give value.
- Not naturally: don’t kill the comment with a “sell.”
- Spend time commenting: I’ve heard anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour a day.
Reason Number Two: Building Relationships
Think about what you like from a business perspective: (1) people who share the same interest; and (2) those whose writing or products complement your personal and/or business efforts.
Who knows? Maybe you could swap ads, share guest posts, repurpose a post to make it into an article that could be shared on another’s list (or visa versa), etc.
The point is: relationships count and in my mind they count a lot.
In The End…
In the end, blogging can be good for a variety of reasons:
- It is free.
- It can reach a targeted group of people.
- It can be a name recognition builder.
- It can be a trust builder.
- It can help in your own personal growth and development.
- It can be the first step in working with others.
Anything Else?
You might have a few things to add — so go ahead!
