Every business has a brand and a message that they are trying to spread to a mass audience. When it comes to growing a successful business, creating prolific content is crucial to its growth. A blog is a great way to drive traffic to your sites, generate leads, and establish yourself as a master of your industry. In recent years, blogs have become quite popular and they are now a main source of lead generation for many companies. While it might seem like a daunting experience to create a blog, there are several great technologies and tips to make it easy and effective. Let’s dive into why you should create a blog for your business.
Blogs Drive Traffic
When people search different topics on the internet, they are often directed towards blogs. Many people ask how this is possible. The trick is to utilize titles, SEO, and keywords.
First, your title should be engaging, while also creating curiosity. It should make the viewer feel that they will get value from reading. It should create solutions to your problem, and it should also be clear and simple. Sometimes focusing on the negative can be an effective method. Instead of a title that states: “Five Ways To Make A Million Dollars”, you could write “Five Mistakes Entrepreneurs Make That Prevent Them From Making A Million Dollars”.
SEO allows users to write a description of the article that users will see under the title. This will certainly drive traffic. You can also include the link to the article in your SEO description for best search engine results.
Keywords play a major part in this as well. Do keyword research for words that drive traffic, and are also related to your brand. Try to stick to 2 to 3 keywords max.
With every blog, include a call to action link that redirects users to your website. They should be clear, concise, and offer value to your readers.
They Establish Yourself As a Expert
Creating a blog allows you to share valuable information about your industry. If you are an event planner, there are several subcategories that you can incorporate into your blog such as marketing strategies, event news, catering, interior design, and more. At the same time, you are doing more research when writing, increasing your knowledge of your field. If your blogs offer value to your audience, then they will certainly return for more information. When finding an audience, you want to find the right people instead of all people. Know your niched and share your content to them via social media and email marketing.

Wordpress is another platform that incorporates basically all of the tools from UberFlip. It is a solid platform, but more directed to the tech savvy individuals.
