Benefits of Blogging for any business

An article I read from the Director on "Blogging for Business" simply states why a blog will benefit your business.

So, in this post, I aim to point out some interesting and different points from the article on why any business big or small should make it an interest to have a consistently updated blog to support their website.

1) Firstly, every business could easily set up a Facebook page with the latest update of what is happening within their business, express their thoughts and feelings etc. through status updates however you are only limited by a Facebook post, having a blog allows the user to expand on their thoughts and feelings and really get this across to users.

2) Another aspect that benefits a blog is by having a really strong opinionated voice. Readers want a blog with a distinct style, something that is not typical of 6:00 pm news.

3) Word count is critical on blogging. The Huffington Post states blogs should be between 500 to 800 words and with anything else people will start to lose interest.

4) Having a blog will be beneficial for improving your rankings on search engine results pages this is because the Search Engines crave new content and a blog allows you to create new content that will be indexed by Google.
