Blogging for Business

Author: Amitabh Shukla

Business blogs are primarily used to improve a company's
communication both internally and externally. Business blogs are
a type of communication channel that could be used effectively
in product launches, team interaction internally within the
company or interaction between clients and company. With the

level of interactivity blogs provide, clients feel more
confident in the company. Not to mention the amount of traffic
it brings to the main site.

Personal and business blogs: What is difference between two?

There is not much of difference between personal and business
blogs visually but there is a fine difference between them in
terms of reputation and brand attached.

Business blogs should be well planned before hand. Companies
can't afford to just walk away after launching their blog.
Business blog has to be successful. Constant and consistent
posts are the rule of the game. Blogsphere is full of best
writers and faster one learns their rule, better for them.
Companies can't just rely on the fact that they are market
leaders in their business so they will be successful with their
blogs too.

The postings on business blog should be open and should portray
personality of the writer and the company. The postings on
business blogs should be very informal, and should be written in
first person voice. Posts should be informative and relevant
with an expert touch to it.

Business Blogs and it content:

According to search engine optimizers, "Content is King". Indeed
this is true for websites but not for a blog. Blog is all about
writing with a particular voice and personality. A lot of people
would like the style and would stick to the blog with regular
visits. A lot of them will hate it and would never return.

Content for a business blog should be written in a strong voice
with high consistency in quality. It becomes somewhat difficult
to maintain quality with regular postings, but no choice. A few
bad or substandard posts and regular visitors to the blog will
fly off.

Important

Don't hammer your visitors every time with posts like how great
is your product and so on. Add some funny incidences or bit of
humor to your postings. Talk something about how employees
enjoyed drinks in a party organized at particular department.
Add some lighter moments in between posts.
