Video on Your Blog

Having written several posts here on video and your blog, it should be obvious that video is a necessary marketing tool for your business. Even if you don’t have a website, you could make a “home made” video, upload it to “Youtube” and add a phone number or other form of contact to your business [...]

Market the Content on Your Blog

Time and time again, I am reminded that “content is king” when you set up a meaningful and profitable website or blog. In other words, you have to constantly and consistently “feed” your site with relavent content that  will keep visitors coming back for more. Even if you have to hire someone to insert content [...]

Business Blog as Your Main Website

It has come to my attention that business people, especially small business owners ask what is better, to have two sites, one being the main website and attach a blog to the main site or put up a blog and utilize that as both blog and main site in one.

Always remember that when you add content that you are utilizing this marketing blog as a tool to help your business grow. It may [...]

Social Media and Blogs

One topic that I don’t talk about as much as other bloggers is social media and how many bloggers “connect” their social sites to their blog. I am talking about “Twitter,” “Facebook,” “Myspace,” “Friendster,” and many other sites that you may already be a member of.
Granted, all these sites are very popular now, but for [...]

Blog Marketing is Still Relevant

I receive email from business bloggers asking me if having a blog is still relevant to build either an online business or offline business. I responded with YES! As a matter of fact, more people and businesses are going online with a blog than in the previous 5 years combined.
If you watch TV lately, interviewer [...]

Bloggers as Branders of Their Business

As mentioned earlier, if your business is not blogging now, you are at a great disadvantage. Your competition is probably thinking about blogging or if not, already doing it.
Blogging is the most efficient way to get the word out about your business.
“Bloggers who post for a business reported even higher levels of success: 71% had [...]
