Another topic I find useful to blog about is current news or trends, and how my business relates to them. We have a client, for example, who is an investment advisor. He does a great job of commenting in his blog about economic news and adds his commentary about its likely impact on the market. We also have a technology client whose blog is similar to a small-scale tech trade journal — with his commentary on how tech trends impact his company’s products & outlook. This approach makes your blog newsworthy, and also search-relevant when someone is looking for info on a current trend.

I blogged on a similar topic recently, in response to a NYT article on business blogging.

To sum it up – there is blogging gold hidden in plain site for everyone – not least small business owners. We all tend to devalue ourselves and our experience. ‘That’s so simple – who want’s to know that’?

Truth is that it may be world changing for one person, a few people – or very valuable to many potential customers.

We are all special – so we tend to hide ourselves a little. I think SMB blogging is part of trend in opening up and realising that we are all incredible and have a lot to offer each other.

This is certainly helpful. And if I may suggest, if you don’t think you can write a decent blog, there are article writers who can do it for you. I know a lot of bloggers who don’t write the content for their blogs themselves.

Many ideas very ordinary. Although something is quite interesting and worth to be tried.

We recently started offering video blogs on our CEO’s website. This has been a real success for us plus it fits our CEO’s personality since he is more prone to telling stories then writing them down in a traditional blog post. So that’s something to consider if you are looking for alternative ways to update your blog.

Yep . . hit the nail on the head there – if you offer something on your blog people will keep coming back for more – so maybe video tutorials etc

Great post! I started a blog for my physical therapy practice, but I was having trouble “finding time” to write new posts. I’ve been collecting ideas for posts, but your article has motivated me to get back on track. It also gave me new ideas.

Thanks!

1. Just stumbled on your blog while looking on how to get some loans at least till the next payday. It’s a horrible situation that we all seem to sink into it with this economy going down. I have a gut feeling that it not even unleashed itself to fool extent. Anyway, I just installed this new browser and I have to figure a way to subscribe to your baby here, but I get some strange message when I hit the feed button. Me and technology.

Except the basic blogging ideas they should have to take some extreme ideas from the famous bloggers, like how they are handling their blogging business, how they are reaching customers etc.

I think the reason why sales increase due to higher blogging rates is due to the frequency of messages seen. For example, if a company promotes their blogs on Twitter, and posts 3-5 a day, a potential customer will have a higher likelihood of seeing the posts, or at least seeing that they are writing blogs. This makes them seem like a thought leader, expert, and constantly researching their industry. This would make them more likely to buy instead of from a company that hardly blogs and is not as visible.

I think comments provide with lot of valuable material for future posts. You can also invite readers to suggest what creative ideas they implement and then provide a general collaborative post comparing them.

Nice post.

If you are not familiar with searching for keywords, essentially you type in a word or phrase related to your small business and the tool shows you what people (your potential customers) are searching the internet for. You can easily get hundreds of new blog post ideas from a couple of keyword searches.
