Sue,

Welcome. Thank you for your kind words. I work very hard to make sure my clients are well cared for.

I looked at your site. I was expecting to see a blog that I could read more about what you do, perhaps subscribe to your feed. Didn’t see that. Perhaps you can tell me more about what you do.

Thanks Bill. I certainly agree. Blogging isn’t necessarily for everyone. Yet all of my clients write their own web copy. So I’ve often suggested blogging as a means to refine their writing style, find more clarity in their communication and reach out to their customer/client base.

Business owners can use a blog to clarify their business purposes and connect with prospective customers.I feel that the blogging process has opened up the communication process between owners and customers through a very relaxed, inexpensive, direct, and immediate manner. But that assumes the business owner can write and even more importantly wants to write. Many owners communicate much better verbally and in other ways, and choose not to write. But now owners who do like to write have a way to effectively communicate, that was not available before blogging. Neat!

Thanks for visiting. Great points. What I meant by ‘every small business…should be blogging’ is that many independent professionals struggle to reach their audience through the content of their websites. Blogging simply gives them a place to practice, try things out and develop the voice that will engage their potential clients.

So whether their blog is a central focus of their business goals or just a way to get them to find clarity in how they communicate about their business, I feel blogging can help all service-oriented, small businesses owners.

Again, thanks so much for your comments. I’m heading over to your blog right now.

All accurate points there, but I’m not sure I agree with the statement, “every small business and independent service professional should be blogging”. Now, i don’t think this is an industry-defined standard, I think it more depends on 1) the person in the business writing the blog and 2) the blogging strategy of the business.

I am in the same business as you in that in addition to web development, I help small businesses really understand how a blog can work for them. One of the most important things we can do to help the small businesses is to first understand their goal, second help develop a blogging strategy to achieve that goal, and third, show them everything their blog can achieve for them that is outside of their goal so they can really grasp how beneficial it would be to them.

Nice article!

Mahesha. I absolutely agree. Yet, a majority of my clients have little or no idea what it takes to utilize their websites to build their businesses. And one place they lack is in understanding how to meet their target market where they are. So what I’ve found is that blogging offers them a chance to refine how they want to speak to their audience in the first place.

Once they understand that, then they can work on relationship building and the like. But to me, the connection with their target market comes first.

Hi Chris,

I am writing my blog in the same interests. I think the real reason small business owners should blog, is to talk with their audience and create good connections and develop their skills.

I have linked you to my blog. I found you in technorati. Cheers!!

Thanks Chris. My own business goal is helping small business grow – that’s what I do. And, as I said, most small businesses suffer from lack of clarity about their business and communcation with their clients.
