1. 7 Crucial Reasons
Every Small Business
Needs a Blog

2. 1. Get Your Message Heard
 Blogging is an excellent way to share your message with
the world, and most importantly, your target audience.
 Are you passionate about a specific cause? Want to
create awareness around a social issue? Want to
promote your business?
 Blog about it!

3. 2. Get Branded
 Branding is so much more than logos, colors and font
style. True branding is creating a “culture” around your
business.
 Blogging helps you to brand your business by allowing
your target audience to “hear” your voice and recognize
the consistency of your message.

4. 3. Selling Products/Services
 Explaining the benefits of your products and services
through a blog is great for business!
 Blogging about your products and services allows you to
not only showcase what you offer, but also offer direct
calls-to-action so your ideal customers respond.

5. 4. Search Engines Will Love You!
 Blogging is great for SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
because it constantly updates your website.
 Static websites grow boring and without fresh
information, the search engines will not rank them
highly and maybe even de-index the site altogether.
 Use targeted keywords in your blog and now you’re
really ready to rank higher on the search engines!

6. 5. Communicate With Your Customers
 What is blogging if it’s not simply communicating?
 Blogging is a conversation between you and your
audience. Use it to allow your customers to get to know
the man/woman/team behind the business.
 Be conversational, be funny, be controversial, Be YOU!

7. 6. Create Viral Content
 Stumble upon a cool video online? Why not blog about
it? Chances are if you found the video enticing, so will
others.
 Blogging is a great way to create “viral” content that
gets shared many times over.
 Think of how good it would be for your business to have
a blog post shared all over the internet with each site
linking back to your website!

8. 7. Exposure to Your Business
 This might be a “Duh!”
 Constantly updating your blog is not only good for SEO
purposes, but it also creates exposure to your business
and brand.
 Keep your engaging content in front of the eyes of your
target audience and you are well on your way to
success!
