Blog or Ezine? Top 7 Reasons
|
Many 
my small business clients ask me: "What 
a blog 
do I need one?" As a marketing consultant business coach, I too had 
address those questions 
my own business.
A blog a form online journal that business owners use develop customer relationships establish credibility. Blog authors write post relevant content frequently - daily, every couple days or weekly.
After publishing an ezine 
some time, I decided give up my monthly ezine a blog. Of course I could do both -- 
more points contact with my target better. But now, I'll share my top seven reasons why I choose blog over a monthly ezine:
Interactivity: Blogging puts humanity technology. Readers can leave comments respond each other. Adding video audio a blog also significantly enrich learning experience, allowing various learning styles. Ezines 
other hand, are fairly static.
Convenience & Ease: I can communicate with my audience quickly efficiently without elaborate set-up content requirements an HTML ezine.
Inexpensive: Lots blogs are free. For example www.blogger.com. I like Typepad at www.typepad.com. For a minimal charge $4.95 per month, I get a professional looking blog with upgraded features. Compare with a professional ezine/contact management program costing $19 per month.
Increases Visibility: Search engine spiders love blogs simple reason that they constantly seek new content. Frequent postings are crucial success. As a result, bloggers gain increased Web presence higher search engine rankings. For example, Google, Yahoo others often index blog entries within days posting 
opposed waiting weeks ezine postings.
Content Management: When I set up this blog I created keyword-based categories topics that I'll write about future. Each time I post, I select which category my post applies voila! My posts are catalogued by category date. This feature essential fodder future e-books other informational products. Try content management with your ezine articles your website - things can get unwieldy fast.
Clearly, blogging an essential addition my marketing toolbox. It's also effective any service-based entrepreneur who needs build client relationships increase visibility.
