Blogs started out as a form of personal online diary, allowing people to share their thoughts on just about anything. Initially text based, they can now include images, sound clips, videos and other content. They are incredibly popular and there are over 120 million bloggers, with the number growing by 175,000 every day.
Blogging has now evolved into a powerful business communications tool that can:
- Allow you to demonstrate your expert knowledge within your chosen field.
- Maintain an ongoing dialogue with potential and existing clients.
- Provide a source of quality content for use in other promotional activities (e.g. email).
- Facilitate a greater understanding of your business and what it can offer.
- Reinforce your position in relation to your clients as a trusted source of information.
Of course there is a lot more to creating a quality blog than just writing some words on a web page, including:
- Developing an appropriate style which reflects your desired position and the expectations of your readers.
- Ensuring that you can generate a regular supply of quality posts.
- Promoting your blog effectively.
- Understanding blogging etiquette, especially in relation to using other people’s content.
- Deploying the right technology that combines ease of use with content integration and publishing.
