Why You Need a Blog for Your Business Success

The Top Reasons To Have A Blog

#1 – A blog is your main nerve center for your business. It’s the center of everything and in this day and age, it’s absolutely insane not to have one.

#2 – People spend TIME on your blogs. I’ve seen a huge spike in the amount of time people spend on my blog, and the number of pages they see. Visitors love to read about your story, and what got your started in the industry. Here’s the truth – people don’t like hype. They want to connect with a real person. And that’s why you need a blog.

#3 – A Blog BRANDS you. People buy from people they know, like and trust. And a blog is an opportunity for you to showcase you. In fact, you can collect testimonials and put them on your blog.

#4 – Own Your Own Traffic and Content – Your blog allows you to OWN the traffic in your own videos instead of losing traffic to related videos in YouTube. This is a biggie. You can just easily post that same video you uploaded to youtube right on your blog, and sendyour prospects and subscribers on your list to your blog to absorb YOUR content.  This is huge since the Panda update (for you SEO geeks!)

#5 – Dominate Your SEO – A blog is particularly well-suited for SEO. I get most of my traffic free simply by making a blog post in a certain way. And I’ll share that way with you in our members-only area for free! I think it’s scary how easy it is.

#6 – A Monetization Machine – You can monetize your traffic to your blog by putting up selected affiliate programs. This is the cashflow that supports your long-term business. Without it, you’ll struggle. All of our blog themes come with instant income generations slots for you to promote your favorite affiliate programs. Having a blog that doesn’t have Ads on it is like turning up to your Prom with no clothes on – it just doesn’t make sense. Signing up for AdSense is too easy. Then you just choose what size ad blocks you want your blog to display. When visitors land on your blog and click on an ad you’ll hear “ka-ching” every time they do!

#7 – Instant Leadership. Sponsor shopping happens when a prospect doesn’t see you as a leader. And that WILL happen to you if you don’t have a blog.

#8 – Social Media – Social media is important now. It can’t be ignored. And a blog is an easy way for prospects and visitors to connect with you on multiple social media channels. And there is a significant jump in sales when people start connecting with you over MULTIPLE social media channels at once! (Think facebook, fanpages, twitter, linkedin, digg, stumpleupon, etc.)

#9 – Advanced Tracking – Blogs allow you to track your visitors, learn more about what resonates with them, and most importantly, to use advanced marketing techniques that you can ONLY use if you have your own website.

#10 – Blogs are super-easy to use. The hard part is setting it up, but once it’s set-up, if you can use Microsoft Word (or any word processor program) you can easily and effortless create your own content on a blog. Blogs are so newbie friendly, really. The typical Internet klutz can keep up with a blog and make changes without any headaches. You have the control like a webmaster without all of the head knowledge of a tech geek. Once set up, you can basically just fill in the blanks and press Publish!

#11 – You get to call yourself an expert. For instance, when someone wants to learn something edgy about permission marketing, the image of a bald Seth Godin springs to mind. What do they do? They Google his name and stop by his blog to learn what his most recent insight is. Here is where different is better because it helps you stand apart from the crowd. What are you known for? Add your personality or character to your blog and let it help you build a brand for yourself. Who hasn’t heard of the Rich Jerk or Seth Godin? You have if you’ve been in Internet Marketing very long.

#12 – You can automate your blog post if you want to. What’s better than a static website? A self-posting blog! Did you know there’s a super sneaky way you can queue up months of blog posts that post themselves for you – and then even bookmark themselves on the web? You can write a ‘Merry Christmas’ message in January and set it to autopost in December… and completely forget about it! It’ll be like having your own little robot employee. It might make you feel like you’re no longer needed on your blog, and maybe you won’t be if you queue up enough posts – but it’ll be a wonderful relief knowing your blog’s left the nest and is able to care for itself – you raised it well – be proud!
