How to Blog for Your Business

December 4, 2008 RSS Feed Print

A few months ago I wrote about what small-business owners can gain from blogging, and how to do it so it's actually worth their time. Blogging is a funny thing in that you don't see the results from it right away (if ever), so it might at first feel like a waste.

A copywriter and marketer in Seattle just posted a far more comprehensive guide to blogging for businesspeople. While it covers the major aspects of blogging enough to get a novice started, it also quite succintly sums up the three reasons why a business owner would want to blog:

1. Search engine optimization 2. Thought leadership 3. Relating to customers

Google and other search engines put a lot of importance on online media reports. If a website was featured in CNN.com, WSJ.com or other major online publications, it will rank much higher than the sites which have hundreds of link-farm-generated links. Does anybody know of a good list of PR firms specializing in online publicity? Publicity Guaranteed (PublicityGuaranteed.com) looks like an attractive option, as they only charge for the results, without any retainers or hourly rates; however they don’t do online-only publicity. AllPublicits.com seems to be the most comprehensive database of publicists and I posted there my RFP for publicists to bid on, but all resulting bids included traditional media. If I had a larger budget, I wouldn’t mind good coverage in traditional media, but I only seek publicity for my SEO campaign, so I need online publicity only
