Does your business have a blog?
Do you think blogs are a waste of time?
Well, I am here to tell you otherwise. There are 3 main reasons I can think of. Read below to see why we feel there is no excuse to not have a blog.
The 3 main reasons:
1. They are Cheap to Setup – You just need sign up for a domain name and hosting account. We only use Host Gator. Once you have the hosting account go to Fiverr and have someone setup the blog on your new hosting account for just $5! Go back to Fiverr and buy a good logo if you need one, just $5 again. So from scratch, a blog only costs about $30 to setup! All you need now is content.
2. Good Article Writers are Also Cheap – Even if you don’t have the time to write content for your blog, you can use sites like odesk.com or fiverr.com to find content writers. Once you hire writers you just have to give them access as a writer on your blogging platform. You can find writers on Odesk that will write great articles for about $8-$10 an hour. On average they write 2-3 articles an hour. Odesk makes them clock in on their computer when working and takes a screenshot of their computer to prove to you they are working. So now you have a blog created about $30 and content being created for about $20-$30 a month. That would be about 2 posts per week. The search engines will fall in love with your blog and website nearly overnight.
3. SEO Benefits and More Traffic – You post an article to your blog with target keywords as anchor text linking back to pages of your site. Now you go to the social networks and post links to the blog post. Google and other search engine robots now travel these links and end up giving the final destination what we call “link juice”. Result: Better search engine rankings for your target keywords which equals more ways for potential customers to find you.
