Are you still in dark about what blogging is and how to use it in your business? Do you think it’s too technical for you? Would you like to start a blog, but don’t know what to do first?
If you’re like many small business owners, you’ve probably visited lots of other people’s blogs and enjoyed exploring them. And you’ve probably been advised that having a blog is a ‘must’ in today’s online business world. But you still have lots of unanswered questions that are holding you back.
Is that true for you?
Here are a few recent stats about business blogging that might help to convince you:
- Professional Services & Consulting businesses were amongst those who found blogging was highly effective with over 50% of respondents indicating customer acquisition through their blog.
- 57% of those using company blogs have acquired a customer from a blog-generated lead; this is an increase of 11% since 2010.
- From 2009 to 2011, the percentage of respondents with a company blog grew from 48% to 65%. On the flip side, the likelihood of a not having a blog has been reduced from 52% to 35%.
- 27% of users rated their company blog as “critical” to their business.
- 85% of users rated company blogs as “useful” or better.
