Do you want to grow your business?
Do you want to strengthen your presence in the market place?
Do you know how to establish yourself as an expert in your field?
Do you know what leading marketing experts are saying you must do to be successful in the coming year?
The answer to all the "Do you" questions is a BLOG. You've got to have a blog! It's your business growth tool. If you want to grow your business this year a blog is the imperative you must have. Don't be left out blogs are more powerful than a standard website.
Why? Because information is the new currency in the global economy. You have information to share. The most powerful way to share any information is with a BLOG.
Last month I had the opportunity to attend a seminar at the Referral Institute in Temecula where the guest speaker was Ivan Misner the founder of BNI (Business Networking International) the world's most successful networking organization. His topic for the day was "Branding". His advise for the coming year..."Start and maintain a blog. Build traffic to your blog through social media sites."
As reinforcement to his talk Ivan wrote in Success Net Online, Business Networking Predictions for 2010, "Companies, small and large need to create a social media strategy." Part of any successful online strategy includes a blog.
The hottest marketing guy right now is Mike Michalowicz of the Toilet Paper Entrepreneur. He recommends that as an entrepreneur your number one tool for growth is through writing...a BLOG and utilizing social media to build a readership.
If those two experts are not enough to convince you...take a look at this from Nielson (you know the TV rating people) Online shows that: "social networks and blogs are now the 4th most popular activity online ahead of personal email."
Technorati tells us that the number of people globally who read blogs is 346 million. And that 77% of active internet users read blogs. WOW! Those are huge numbers, don't you want even a fraction of those numbers aware of your business?
What are you waiting for? The time is now, opportunity awaits you in the Blogosphere! Hey, I'm here in the Temecula Valley and my blog allows me to reach the global market place.
