Set up a blog on your website.
If you have one already go for extra credit & write a post!
Why do I need a blog?
- Writing establishes you as an expert in your field.
- Your expertise can help your clients.
- It humanizes you & your business – tell your story, let your clients know you. It’s a little less personal than showing them photos of the grandkids, but you get the idea!
- Search engines LOVE fresh, new content. It tells Google that your site is alive & current & (possibly) interesting!
How do I set up a blog?
The nuts & bolts of setting up a blog can be a little much for the average user. If you feel confident, dive in & do it! If you want help feel free to touch base with me. If you have a newer site, I can probably turn one on for you somewhat quickly. If you are on an older site we should probably be talking re-design anyway to get you current.
