I was reading Brian Brown's Pajama Market blog today where he listed 10 myths about blogging for small businesses.
I enjoyed what he had to say, in particular Myth #2 where he addresses what my customers say almost everyday. Why do I need a blog? It serves no purpose.
Read what Brian has to say:
"Myth #2: My company doesn't need a blog.
Yes it does. The top five reasons your company needs a blog are:
- blogs generate huge internet traffic compared to traditional small business websites from search engines and from inbound links
- blogs allow you the opportunity to educate your customers thoroughly about your products and services
- blogs allow you to promote your new products, sales, and promotions to a captive audience
- blogs allow you to hear what your customers needs and ideas are through their comments
- blogs attract attention in your industry and establish you as an industry leader
And if that isn't enough for you - he has a posting with 101 reasons to have a blog.
Check out Brian's complete posting on the 10 myths of blogging and then get started with a blog of your own: for your business, your hobby, your rants and raves!

Hello,
I enjoyed your post very much and agree with you. The world has changed and blogging is a a new dimension that has added a much greater depth to individuals as well as businesses.
I would like to thank you for giving me credit for my photo. However, if you could please change it to simply Billychic; although I have been using this name online since 1998, there is another girl out there who has started going by the name of BillyChic in the last couple of years - and I try to differentiate so people don't confuse us.
Thank you.

Thanks Billy. I made the change. Thanks for stopping by!
