Business blog is an incredible tool for online marketing that saves you thousands of dollars but
provides great business opportunities in a single click. Blogs are easy to use, personalized and
flexible support for the dissemination of useful information for effective positioning of their products
on the market.

The companies involved in business blogging have a clear advantage over its competitors. Here
are some advantages:

1.Word of mouth. In one survey, there are currently 14 million blogs with 80,000 more being added
every day and about 30 percent of the 50 million users are blog readers. Imagine how much gain
your company will have, if your products are advertised through blogs. With Internet, information
spreads so quickly, especially if an impressive story goes with your product. Soon your blogs will
be passed on to hundreds of potential customers.

2.Awareness and loyalty. Open communication with your customers creates trust and loyalty
among them. Be there to answer your questions and comments make them even more willing to
try their products and services.

3.Feedback. Blogs are good for product research and reviews. It would be easier to improve on
their products if you observe your customers thinking and behavior patterns. You can also take
immediate action to customer concerns.

4.Community halo effect. Bloggers are reasonable, friendly and helpful. They are more than willing
to create blogosphere of comments regarding your product. All you have to do is accept and
actively participate in culture and the product will surely be considered at its next stop at the
supermarket.

For best marketing results, actively promote business blogs by submitting your blogs blog search
sites and directories. Do not forget to paste in your blogs, your URL. Make sure that blogs contain
exclusive information with value and always updated to keep readers popping in, read your blog,
go to the next and click again for updates.

Blog is like a setup booth in the largest commercial program on earth every day. Marketing
possibilities are just around the corner waiting to strike your sale scales below.

The Really Simple Syndication (RSS) are also important in relation to their blogs to get the best
benefits. Use effective keyword phrases to generate high ranking status in the search engine
traffic. In this way are more likely to find people of your website that leads to their blogs. More
traffic means more potential sales.
For this to succeed, you can use RSS news feeds that update can be read through RSS reader
application. This is a very useful tool for marketers and Internet businesses as well.

If you are already convinced about the potential of business blogs for marketing and targeting
sales increase, your company is ready to start blogging. But first, you have to be in tune with
business goals of your company and determine if blogging will really help you reach your goal.

1.Several blogs are dedicated to teaching people the do's and don'ts of blogging, read! Include in
your reading materials blogs that are also based on consumption to give you an idea.
2.Setup several test blogs immediately.

If your first test with blogs worked well, you can now start setting up their blogs.

1.Study design blog. Blog hosting services provide pre-designed templates. But if you opt for paid
blog service, you can ask your artist to design your site and blog format to match the identity of the
company and its needs.

2.Select a topic. It's good to have a line-up of topics you want for your blogs, but make sure they
are in line with business objectives. This would be a testament to its flexibility and open-
mindedness since results may go against the objectives set.

3.Remember the following safety measures in blogging:

* The legal issues are sometimes involved in blogging, it is safer to include disclaimers and
limitations of liability;
corporate communication and legal department are responsible in educating top management on
how blogs might affect business;

* Create policies to blogs, establish limits on who gets to blog and what information are allowed to
be made public;

* Avoid marketing blog outright or whether to keep their readers;

* Make the content updated, relevant and fresh;

* Strengthen the company's core values, and

* Encourage employees to use it.

4.Start blogs and complete 20 posts before going to marketing.

5.Begin marketing.

6.Regularly track additions to come and outs of readers and get updates. Then measure your
results.

7.Adjust if necessary. You can always play with your designs on the blog site as long as it remains
to match the identity of the company.

8.Strive to be consistent with your topic all the time.

9.Try have unrelated topics with general and broad appeal.

10.Schedule updates regularly. Monday, Wednesday and Thursday would be best to update
blogs.

Once you have done all these things, you can now ultimately enjoy the benefits of business blogs.
