Promoting Your Home Business with a blog

A home business needs a home business blog.  You may already have a website for your home business.  What is the difference between a website and a blog?  Websites can be static or dynamic.  They can be simple or interactive.  


A simple website is where most people start online.  Simple text and images that give a basic overview of the products and services that they have to offer.


A blog is a type of website.  Blogs are simple to update and they normally post information in a descending order.  The layout can be simple with a header, sidebar, body area, and a footer. 


Search engines like blogs because of their interactive nature.  Normal websites might present information without the ability for a visitor to comment.  Blogs usually have commenting built in.  So when a new blog post is published, visitors can chime in and give their opinions.  It is an easy way to exchange ideas.


Blogs have made the process of putting information online much easier.  Most blogs separate the technical stuff behind the scenes from the design.  Posting information to a blog can be just as easy as creating a new document and hitting the save button.  Blogging opens the door for more people to get online and exchange ideas.


Home business owners can benefit from blogging.  It is a chance to improve writing skills and cover topics on a more frequent basis.  Blogs can help generate traffic for the main business website.  You could setup a blog in just a few minutes and start posting.


Are you ready to start blogging about your home business?  Blog about your products.  Blog about your services.  Blog about what your interests are.  Take the plunge and get into home business blogging.
