Blogging
"Blog" is the abbreviated term for Web Log. Essentially
when you are blogging you are creating a log on the web. Very similiar
to an online diary or online personal journal. This phenomenon has spread
like wildfire across the internet.
Blogs can fall into two fairly general categories.
Personal Blogs: a mixture of keeping personal journal or voicing your
opinions in posts. This is often very focused on the area of interest
to the blogger. Even though this is for personal reasons, these types
of blogs can make good money.
Business Blogs: a corporate tool for communicating with customers or
employees to share the latest news, knowledge and expertise.
Business blogs are are becoming more popular all the time. Blogs are
an excellent method to share a company's expertise, build additional web
traffic, and connect with potential customers..
What does Blogging Provide to Small Business?
Blog software is easy to use. Simply write your thoughts, link to resources,
and publish to your blog, all at the push of a few buttons. Blog software
companies such as, Movable Type, Blogger.com, WordPress and Typepad all
offer easy blogging tools to get started. My personal preference is WordPress.
Blogging is a low-cost alternative to having a web presence. For small
business owners without the time to learn web html or the money to hire
a designer/developer, blogging offers an inexpensive method to get your
company's name out on the Internet.
Updating the weblog is a much quicker process than contacting a web designer
with changes or doing the coding and uploading yourself. Also you can
assign various people in your business this task by assigning roles in
the blog admin area.
Business blogs provide your small business with a chance to share your
expertise and knowledge with a larger audience. A powerful benefit for
consultants and knowledge workers.
