How Writing a Blog Can Serve Your Business Goals

Of all the marketing tools available, blog writing is one that many business owners ignore— or even avoid. Some feel that a blog won’t work for their industry. Some struggle with what to write about.

The truth is every business owner has something of value to say, and blogging provides a platform for saying it—not to mention bringing a positive ROI if done right. That happens because…

Writing a Blog Can Drive Traffic to Your Website

Search engines like Google find you through your website content. Feeding those engines a steady diet of new, readable content using keywords that people search, moves businesses up the list of rankings. SEO (search engine optimization) will bring readers to your website. Once there, they will see all of the wonderful things you have to offer and become customers. 

People Will Join Your Mailing List for Good Blog Content

If your blog content is engaging and helpful, readers will be willing to provide their email addresses to subscribe to future posts or to access additional gated content like a white paper or an ebook. That email address puts them in your sales pipeline. The more interaction they have with your business, the further down the sales funnel they’re likely to travel.

You Get to Show Off Your Expertise

Blogs let you speak with authority and become a thought leader in your industry. As a result, you gain credibility and build trust in your products and services. 

You Can Showcase Your Unique Value Proposition (UVP)

What is your business’s Unique Value Proposition? What do you do better than anyone else? A blog is a perfect place to shine a spotlight on what sets your product or service apart from the competition.

A Blog Builds Relationships

Through blog content, customers can learn about more than just what you sell. Your corporate values, brand personality, and even sense of humor can show through. So opening up to show who you are as a company forges trust and connection with potential customers. 

Start a Conversation With Your Content

Business blogging, when done right, is a great way to connect with both current and future customers. You can answer frequently asked questions, share your knowledge, and start a conversation that shows customers you understand their pain points. Well-written, informative content, posted consistently, can add value to any type of business.
