Blogging in Business

When I started at Active Parity, one of the first things I wanted to do was help the company to get a blog started. They're a great way to show off your knowledge and communicate with clients. My first post over on the new blog is up, and it's on exactly that subject: Blogging in Business - specifically, why businesses should blog and what the potential downsides are. The first of many posts over there, I'm sure!

I always encourage my clients to be open with their knowledge and post it online. The benefits are amazing. Sharing the knowledge pays off.

Thanks, both of you. Amusingly, though what I wrote about was primarily the importance of writing regularly, we find ourselves swamped in work and currently falling behind our posting schedule. I should have encouraged big gaps between posts ;)

I have never been really interested in blogging, partly because I always have a lot of work to do. But lately a friend from Liverpool has been encouraging me to start a Blog site. He has some good reasons why I should do so, and now I'm considering registering a new domain name for it. I'm getting the point now but will I have much time for the Blog? I hope so.

I totally agree, blogging for business is a great tool.

Free Blogs are a easy way to start. This site is cool as it combines social networking with a website/blog that is totally free.

You are more experienced in this blogging business than we are in Germany. But I think in a few years most of our clients get the point.

Blogging can be a great thing for any business. However, to my experience, you should only set up businesses who honestly understand the value of blogging because it seems all too often after a few initial posts they always fall off the blogging band wagon.

Blogging for business is great an idea.You can represent your business in front of online community and can get targeted traffic.For this purpose i always like word press to launch my blog or for clients.Because word press blogs index too much early.
