Blogging

Hi Everyone,

I’ve just finished a webinar with BizLaunch talking about the 5 media tools it was hosted by Andrew Patricio. He said one of the most import tools is blogging. Blogging tells people that you are an expert in your field. You should blog at least 2 to 3 times a week. BizLaunch by the way is a non-profit organization based in Toronto, ON that gives out the best business advice for business owner’s home-based, small business or big business. It’s a site I would recommend visiting and participating in. The information available is all tried and tested information to make a business successful. The bonus is that you get to share your experiences with other business owners in all stages of growth from seasoned business owners who have been there done that to people just dreaming about starting a business. The website is www.buzlaunch.com. Most of the services on this site are free, not taking advantage of good free advice in this day and age????? The business information and advice is applicable no matter where you are located. But you have to remember not everything works for everybody and you have to use common sense when applying advice.

I think I side tracked a little bit.(Smile). About blogging if you are not doing it you should seriously think about it. Blogging is the new way of networking with your peers and customer base. There are a lot of free sites that will allow you to blog for free like www.blogger.com and help you create your blog. You don’t need to make it big every time you blog just a few thought s on your business or even pet peeves you have about your particular business or just pet peeves. Let people know you’ve started a blog and put the address on your business cards, e-mail signature, letter head, flyers on anything that bears you name personal or business. You may not see results right away but you’d be surprised as you keep going how many people pass by just to say hello.

Visit other blogs that deal with your product or service and see how they blog and what they are saying it will give you helpful hints while you grow your blog. Leave your blog link where people invite you to. This will invite people back to your blog.

Please share your comments I’m always interested in what people are thinking and creative criticism is appreciated.
