Do you have a Personal Blog?
Blogging for personal reasons is a good way to get things off your chest and who knows, you might be able to help someone at the same time. When you help others, they’ll want to help you and when you’re a business owner that means recommending you to others or purchasing from you directly.
While your posts may or may not be business related, if you have buttons and links on the sides of your blog, you’ll gain traffic to those places when you share things that people find interesting and helpful. Buttons usually grab the attention better then text ads, but text ads are helpful with link building. You might want to consider using both if you have the ability to do so.
Something else to consider with your personal blog is to have it post on your social media accounts. You may use sites like Twitter, Facebook, and Linked In for business purposes only, but occasionally putting something personal in there will help you to show others you’re a real person and that helps build trust with your business.
Blogging doesn’t always have to be about business. When you create a personal blog you’ll find blogging is fun and a great way to share things with your followers. I have my regular blogs, but I also have a mommy blog and I really enjoy sharing things on it that pertain to my family and what I like to do. If you look to the right side you’ll see my affiliate links and links to my sites which helps me to build traffic and increase my income.
