Why a Blog?

There are places where you can have a free blog to post information (Google & Wordpress are two of them) so that people can feel that you are an expert in your chosen field. It's a place where you can share ideas, tips and yes key secrets in your industry or vocation. Short 2 to 3 paragraph articles are best for busy people to read and absorb.If you know more that most people in an industry why not share it and assemble a group of people who check your blog often. You can find new customers and clients who will build a trust in you over time.

You should post to your blog once or twice a week so that when people check it they will find something new and informative. If people learn something or get reminded of an idea they will visit your blog often and not others that may be competitors. You can also also send your blog posts easily to Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus. You will need to copy and paste the link to Linkedin and anywhere else you want to share it. Visitors can also go back and see your previous posts and you will get to see how many hits you get. I am over 71,000 hits and I hope you keep reading!
