Good afternoon, Community! Today I want to talk about blogging. I know about blogging but at the same time, I didn’t really know what blogging was. Does that make sense? No? Ok, how ‘bout a definition. According to Wikipedia, a blog is a discussion or informational website published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete, often informal diary-style text entries.
That leads me to ask – do you currently use a blog for your small business? I found that this practice is a great way to casually inform and interact with your clients and customers. Aside from positive engagement, there’s so much room for creativity in a space of your own. Some great ideas I came across for blog topics include:
- Sharing the history of your business in a storytelling format.
- Sharing a customer success story.
- Discussing future plans.
- Creating a list of influential people to follow on Twitter.
- Answering FAQs.
These kinds of discussions allow avenues to open up for personal interaction with your followers. You may even gain some business knowledge you didn’t have, or the ability to look at things from a new perspective.
If you don’t have one already, maybe it’s time to start a blog for your business. You can get even more ideas of what a business blog looks like by checking out the official QuickBooks Blog. Additionally, I’d love for you to comment below with your best ideas for topics!
