I agree that blog posts shouldn’t be necessarily practical when they are being created to spread information about businesses.

oh yes and using a Lijit Search bar on our blog has also been really useful so we can see who came to our blog and content they searched

Could not agree more. We started a blog at BornFit.com and we have built wonderful online relationships with several of our customers and supporters. Our blog has also led to some great partnerships and some TV spots. So yes, we encourage all small businesses to start a blog, it has also helped drive traffic to our website.

You need a blog or at least some type of web 2.0 presence to get the word out and keep intouch with your customers and to compete. The web enables the playing field to be leveled so that small business can compete with much larger companies. it’s also a very cost-effective way of promoting your business.

One more thing, eventually, on my alexlogic blog, when one clicks on any picture, it will take them to a column that discusses important information related to the image being click on.
I have so many up now it may take me half a year or longer to catch up.

I had an interesting experience recently. I had an associate I had known for close to 25 years basically complete his slide into what I call obnoxious narcissism.

Unfortunately, even though I have always done right by this person, I noticed a character defect in this person in which over the years they have just become outrageously condescending.

This one person who I have known as long as almost anyone else in California could attest to my abilities (I’ve won a regional emmy) including editing a documentary his son had shot on very crude equipment that I was able to make came out fantastic, has instead chosen a dark dark and competitive view against the people he should be celebrating successes with.

I was going to make http://www.alexlogic.com anyways, but the disappointing experience of seeing this person become an ultra obnoxious narcissist who know longer even cares they are so obnoxious led me to accelerate the development of my alexlogic blog.

Don’t rely on any one else to vouch for you, if you feel it is important to document your job history, then get a blog and go for it. My blog was free and I feel I more than got my money’s worth. I still have a lot of content to add but I think I’ve least shown I have had a lot of film and video production experience.

“Short answer: Because your competitor is.” That’s funny, I was speaking to a potential client today in general about online marketing and the different avenues you can use to build your online brand, and I basically ended by saying “if for no other reason you should be doing it because your competitors are and it works.” Short and to the point but it’s the damn truth.

Blogging is just like alot of marketing tactics, it takes time as you say. Patience and consistency, if you have at least both of those attributes, blogging and alot of things in life tend to work out for the best. It’s something that useful for all businesses, big or small.

Good read Tara.
