Hinweis der Redaktion
Before we look at the power of a blog forSME’s I want to remind us all about the key issues that business owners like you and me face right now. And I think we could call that key issue or key challenge operational log jam. We know we should be communicating regularly with our customers and clients and we know that contact should be relevant and positive. Many of us over the years have tried newsletters they have been time consuming and costly and all the research points to the fact that they have been pretty ineffective. It’s time consumingWe know too that we should be trying to use social media the likes of Linkedinfacebook and twitter. A few of us may have tried half heartedly but few if any of us have the time to do social media properly. It’s time consumingWe also know that our websites should be updated relevant and optimised to bring in bound sales leads and most of us don’t have the time or technical ability to do this well. That needs Search engine optimisation and if we even now how to do it, the rules change so frequently that it can be discouraging. It’s time consumingI guess you will have spotted the common phrase that links all these operational areas together – time consuming. And because it’s time consuming the chances are very high that as busy MD’s or owners we will let these things slide to the bottom of out to do pile and sooner or later it will take its revenge. Take its revenge in losing customers, disillusioned customers, take its revenge in lack of inbound leads and likely we will left behind by competitors who seem to master social media and seem to successfully gain new clients as a resultAs I hope we will see together the Iblog is going to be the solution to all these operational challenges. It is going to save you time, and as we will see together t it is a business and profit improvement tool enable you within a few seconds to communicate that’s going to enable you to do all these things and much much more effortlessly

Check out this web site, at first glance its different they are working within the media and arts industries and it has a nice feel. But there is no sign of their blog, its not in the navigation, its not in the body copy of the site and in fact its not mentioned any where at all! S
But they do have a blog, its jut its been set up as a standalone page – its not been integrated into their main website, In fact its tough to even find it when you are looking for it. Because its not built into the site its not going to help improve the websites SEO or visibility. It takes you off the webiste you’ve done all the SEO So one posting here is pretty much a waste of time it wont iupdate the websiteWe also know that this blog is not appearing on the social media platforms and whilst the senior partner has almost 400 LinkedIn connections, the blog is not displaying on there LinkedIn profile, its not linked with Twitter and its not updating Facebook. It’s a standalone blog, all on its own that’s going to do very little other than compete for seo with their primary site.But it should not be like that. It should be very very different and an I-Blog is. Let’s see what a working blog and effective blof can look like
One post updates everything. Because this blog is an integral part of the website it lokks like it is and in reality it is. When you post a blog the website is updated it’s fresh and its current and it’s new it also means Google is about to take notice as we shall see
Using the Insight Iblog that one piost has already updatyed on your site it also now automatically updates LinkedIn Twitter and facebook
One post updates everything – the evidenceNow we can see both the reality of the automatic update and its impact. Because the blog is about a specific topic and the article has been otpimsed by Sean farnell in seconds in this case we can see they have become postiion 1 for this term and position 4 from the instant update on Linkedin 1 and 4 on Google for your chosen termNow that’s impressive.BTW Sean can easily optimise his Blog in seconds because in his free 1:1 training session he was shown exactly how to do that. I’ll be showing you too in just a few minutes.
Here we see the impact of just one blog by one business owner. The reason is quite simple Google loves fresh content loves the regular use of blogs and rewards us with ranking for the specific terms used in the BlogThis is also helping our website to rank too!
Here we see the impact of a blog from one of my colleagues Dan Richards. He’s writing on appointment generation for accountants and within a day or so here’s the impact of that article
Increased trafficPositions 5 & 6 page 1 of Google for those termsAll the researched data we have so far, suggests that when a blog is properly integrated into the website natural traffic will increase by 50% +
Ergo email organisationachives position 1 on Google agaisnt some pretty stiff competition here
Positions 1,2 3 4 from the tanning shop

They key here is making sure te content is about your clients and for your clients
You might like to share the article and highlight or link to it on your blog orquote an interesting extract see above. Or you may want to take the core information and spend 5-10 minutes rewriting this in your own style for your own target markets
orquote an interesting extract see above. Or you may want to take the core information and spend 5-10 minutes rewriting this in your own style for your own target markets
Another great source is an industry portal one of our businesses specialises in helping accountants so a great source for that businessis the portal accountancy profession.comWhatever sector you are in manufacturing service sector you will find similar portals in every sector and they all offer very similar sources of content.

I can share this video in my Blog and it will subsequently update Linked In too. I can just share a link on my blog and it will then update my Linkedin
In this case I can post this on my blog do a specif post as well on my LinkedIn if I wish which also get an update autmoatovally form the blog
Wherever I have got my content from my larder RSS feeds Google alerts I will paste the text into my blog
Now I key in the terms for SEO this needs a little bit of thought and your training will cover this but making sure I am choosing terms that will likely attarct people seraching
Don’t use an agency because they probably don’t know how to do it all we know how to write collate and post content in the training$0 minute video trainingScores of blogs all built succesfully that work we we are far checaper than a medium size aganceySEO trainingSocial media trainingOur team have spent thousands of hours developing a solution uniqueDesignLayoutImplement it connect it with LI Fb TwitterAutomated processTrainingSpeed in which we can deliver itThe effectiveness of the outcomeNot integrated blog is Not selling properluNot updating social mediaEverything is time consuming slow and laboriousSome of you on this webinar or podcast might already have a blog and have looked at the 6 powerful reasons to have a blog and left wondering why your blog is not working like that. The reason for this is simple, the process that Insight follows has been carefully developed by our expert team to work for accountants and simplify everything. The blog is built to work with social media, it will publish on your LinkedIn profile, it will update Facebook and it will tweet about it whilst it updates your website all in just one click.Most Blogs don’t achieve any of these points or give your firm the benefits I have just listed because they have not been well thought through and they are not integrated – let me show you one common example.
As you would expect I’m going to suggest to you that you don’t use an agency. Not just because of cost although they will almost certainly be more expensive but much more importantly we don’t know anyone else that can provide this kind of IBLog whichIntegrates into your websiteUpdates your websiteAutomatically updates whatever social media you choose normally Linkedin facebook and twitterReplaces the operational headaches of things like newsletters and unsuccessful emailsAs far as we know no-one else has the proven experience of doing all this and then having the experience of collating writing posting and then optimizing each blog in just minutesAs part of your low cost your £950 you will get training in how to blog and how to blog in your sector with your clients and prospects.
