Blogging can build your credibility, as long as you post relevant information. It's a great way to establish yourself in your area of expertise. After all, we all have areas of talent--why not share them with others? Use a blog to promote your services.
If you have a commerce site, use a blog to promote your products. You can use your blog to mention new products, feature valuable products, or direct your visitors to your sales website.
Use your blog to generate extra income. Google Adsense allows you to monetize your blog and generate revenue by automatically showing relevant ads on your blog.

The Marketing Power of Blogging
You can use a blog for business. They aren't just for online diaries of people's personal lives, but can be used to increase your website's traffic.
Ways your business can benefit:
It can humanize your business because blogging allows you to write posts in your own voice--it's more conversational and allows you to interject your personality :)
I hope to use it as a way to help other online business owners by sharing my knowledge of web marketing. Hopefully I'll have interaction with those of you who read it by way of posting comments or questions.
If you sell products on your site, you can use it as a customer service tool. You can provide product updates and other relevant information to your customers quickly.
It's easy to post. You can quickly give your readers the information they are looking for and automatic archiving by date can give new visitors access to your content.
Check back soon. My next post will continue with more ideas for harnesssing "The Marketing Power of Blogging."

Thank heaven for daughters!
Well, this technologically challenged Mom tried to add a quick photo to this blog and ran into trouble! Then I tried to get a link to work properly on my site and ran into trouble! Maybe today just isn't my day :O It is Friday........
Daughter to the rescue! She figured out what code I was missing to make the link work on my site and I'm sure she'll figure out what I did wrong trying to upload the photo.
I'm writing this as a little encouragement for those of you just starting out with a web presence and trying to muddle through all the details. They can be overwhelming at times, but just put one foot in front of the other. Try to do something each day. Keep learning!
