why write blog posts?

If you aren't sure of the value of writing blog posts for your business then this article is a MUST read. Over the years, I have had many conversations with business owners who don't understand the benefits of writing a blog post.

Added to this, writing a blog post can feel overwhelming. If you are worried that you don't know what to write about then visit our blog post What should you write about in a blog post.

Why write a blog post for your business?

There are various reasons why your website should have blog posts. Here are the main ones:

To drive people to your site

If you write valuable content that's relevant to what you offer then you can use blog posts to drive visitors to your site where they can then find out more about your products or services.

To get found on Google

​If blog posts are written properly then it's possible to be found in Google search. Let's say you sell skincare products for acne and you write an article 'does toothpaste work on acne'. If the blog post is written with the right keywords and URL and holds the readers attention then your post is more likely to appear in search engines when someone types 'does toothpaste work on acne'.

To provide proof of your credibility

Imagine you are looking for an accountant or a bookkeeper and you come across a website offering these services. Up to date blog posts with top tips for managing your finance or how to be more efficient with your bookkeeping would help convince you that they know what they are talking about.

Adding a personal style also helps the reader to feel more familiar and comfortable with you as well. Something that's easier to do with a blog post than in general on a website.

​Your own personal development

This might not be considered as important compared to the previous points but writing blogs is a great way to re-enforce what you know or are an expert in. You will most likely learn more and develop your thoughts. Quite often when writing blog posts or preparing for training I find myself double checking the facts and researching to see what else I might not be aware of.
