What is so special about blogging and why it’s so trendy to blog? Blogging is a great communication tool. And what about the name ‘blog’? Web+log = blog. Web – a network of things or people; log – a written record of messages sent or received.
Business Blogs Are Hugely Popular Today
Entrepreneurs often ask me: should I have a website or a blog? Short answer: it’s good to have a website, but blogs are absolutely necessary for communication. Consumers want to know who they buy from.
I have to mention: blogs serve as websites today and if there is an effective blog in place, you might not need to have a website loaded with intense graphics. If a website is a collection of graphics, blog has to be linked to such a website to provide communication between entrepreneurs and customers.
We will talk about the value of graphics for websites more here on SmallBusinessClicks.biz. For now, I just want to mention that graphics slow down loading of websites. People do not want to wait for a website to load and they click out of the website. A slow website is a ‘NO-NO’ today. Google recently announced that website loading speed plays role in website ranking. That’s huge! In fact, Google is obsessed with speed Quick tip: try to limit quantity of graphics on your website and on your blog.
…But I don’t have time. I need to take care of my customers
That’s the idea: by communicating with your customers you will take better care of them. Makes sense, right?
