I’ve been trying to convince the president of our company that we need a blog. When managed correctly it could be an amazing marketing tool for any business. It’s amazing how many businesses still don’t’ have a blog. It’s sad but true.
Great write up law macs hopefully it will be enough for some company’s to make the change.
The growth that blogging has experienced in just the past few years is staggering. New blogs are placed online by the thousands every day and there is no slowdown in the foreseeable future.
As you mentioned, it’s very easy to get a blog up and running and that accounts for many people setting up their personal blogs. Nowadays, it’s almost a necessity for any type of business to have a blog. Blogging is here to stay and will continue to grow but I wonder what the next big internet fad will be.
You are right Bbrian017 it is strange to think that in this day and age when blogs are more popular by the minute companies are still refusing from starting them just look at the opportunity for them.
There are thousands of blogs coming up everyday and most of them are gone in few days 🙁 . Setting up of blog is an easy task but maintaining them is quite difficult as it needs lots of hard work and patience .
I get queries from my friends that how can they start a blog and when will they start making money out of it.
If you have a product then blog is a better way of showing it to your potential customers. Blogging is going to stay here.
Btw bro its good to see you making changes with your blog 🙂 .
Many congratulation for you new design. feels great to be here today. looks awesome. keep it up..bro.
Well, being a personal blogger..I have felt it. I am glad that I started it as early as possible. Though I may have failed in one thing – making money online but it hasn’t stopped me from doing the same. I am loving it and I think everyone should.
Nothing to hide here, along with my personal blog, I have two more blogs to maintain. And those two blogs are related to my company’s business. Though not as effective as the regular sites, but we do still get good results from those blogs in the form of inquiries. We could easily see the benefits of our business blogs. It has really worked out for us. And there is no reason why it cannot be the same for others. Blogs can really play an important role in your businesses. I think its high time for businesses to realize the power behind these tools. One thing I clearly know is that it is very cumbersome process to update regular sites until and unless you have a CMS kind of technology but these things are never ever a matter of concern if we have blogs as you can easily add, edit and update information in the quickest possible time. Doesn’t really matter if you have your blog hosted on a paid hosting or a free hosting site. Though if you are in business, its better to create blogs on your own domain. It really works.
Glad you like the new design Aswani i have been working on this one for some time and can’t decide what to do with it however it is a cross between Arthemia and mayumi still have some more tweaking to do with it thanks for your input bro much apreciated.

Good article and I completely agree, if any business has a website (and all business should) they should have a blog and even if they do 1 post per week or month, keep active on it. This allows for interaction and online presence and is among the best ways to keep an audience updated with news, events and items about your company.
Thanks for your input Dragon Blogger i do agree with you that every Business website should have a blog and as you have said even to post once weekly is good this will have the customers interaction and feedback
