Did a presentation on Blogging for Business at the local Chamber of Commerce on why businesses need to engage with social media.
Showed how it all links-up: engaging with people in 1-to-1 conversations to create niche communities by posting and cross-posting between sites such as Twitter, Linked-In, Facebook and your blog.
Did you know that Facebook has so many members now, that if they were the population of a country, it would be the third largest country in the world! Can your business afford to ignore an audience like that? Especially when you can engage with it free of charge.
You can take that cross-linking a stage further and integrate your blog and website at your own domain name. This blog is integrated with the PHPR website to give me the best of both worlds thanks to Simon Allen here at Shopfitter.com.
Blogs are so much easier than websites to update, so they are a great way to add fresh content. Plus they give you the opportunity to demonstrate expertise and trustworthiness online.
As I ran down the benefits of blogging and gave some examples, you could see light bulb moments going on across the room. At the end, an accountant rushed off leaving me with the parting shot that he was off to "give it a go". Brilliant!
