“Raise your hand if you need more targeted visitors. Sure, me too.”
Think of total number of pages you can find on your online store. Maybe not a ton, right? And think of how frequently you update those pages. Maybe not that usually, right? Well, running a blog helps resolve both of those problems.
Writing a blog helps as well you get discovered via social networks. Any time you write a blog post, you are building content that many people can share on social networking sites such as Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest – which will help expose your web business to a new one audience that will not know you yet.
Similar to every blog post you write is yet another indexed page, each post is really a new chance to generate new leads. The way in which this works is absolutely simple: Just put in a lead-generating call-to-action to each blog post.
Search Engines like Google loves fresh content. What better method to deliver frequent content compared to blog posts. By writing blog consistently, you provide Google and other search engines new content to index and you also create chances to plug in those all-important keywords to boost your visibility on search engine results pages (SERPS).
Writing a blog enables you to interact with your website visitors. You can accomplish this by asking your visitors questions at the conclusion of your posts to obtain the conversation going or simply by allowing comments and feedback. By reviewing and answering readers’ comments, you may create a rapport together with your audience, build trust, and gain valuable insight into what your visitors are seeking.
