Casual Articles - Value of a Blog
I'm not a big fan of New Years resolutions. Sure I've made dozens of them, all with good intentions and a bit of magical thinking, believing this time the resolution will stick. Maybe a few have, but generally these wishful self-promises end up broken. And when that happens my self-esteem suffers.You see, every time you break a self-promise, your self-trust is weakened. Every ti
You can also publish your blog entries to sites like ezinearticles.com or goarticles.com and include a link to your site, which is what I do. Then other sites will also publish your articles, but they have to include those links to your site also.
Personally, I post on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I think that any less frequently would be a waste of time. And remember, in addition to making sure the entries will pull in new visitors from search engines, also make sure the article is useful to them. I
One would think with all the resources provided by technology that customer service would not be an issue in today's business world. At any given moment, there is survey after survey showing what customers want and the impact when customers don't receive what they want. With outsourcing being rampant, having an organizational culture where excellence is a habit seems to be a
The first thing you will need to do is pick someone to write your business blog. It needs to be someone who writes well and knows about your business. In some cases, those may not be the same person. Often, in very small businesses, the owner is the only employee. If that is you, it's possible that while you don't write extremely well, you do know a lot about your business. If that is the case, you might try a system where someone else proofreads your blog and corrects and slightly rephrases things where they could be improved.
The next think you will need to decide on is what your subject matter will be about. In some types of businesses, it is appropriate for the blog to be slightly more personal in nature. If you are marketing to high school and/or college students, they would be more interested in local events than they would in the details behind your latest business partnership.
Another option is to blog to keep clients and others updated on where you are in various projects or what inventory you've gotten in. For a golf store, you might keep your clients up to date on when you're expecting a new line of golf clubs.
A third option is like my own blog, where you give advice that will help others, regardless of whether they are your clients/customers or not. On my blog, I try to make sure that you don't have to have a lot of technical expertise to use my advice. I don't blog about how to write HTML. Instead, I blog about the types of features you can have on a site and whether it would be to your advantage to use those features. It's general advice that can be applied to websites whether the reader has a working knowledge of HTML or pays someone else to do that.
I've found that my blog (and it's accompanying monthly printed newsletter that's basically the "best of" the blog entries from the previous month) seems to increase my perceived credibility and my approachability. And to get new clients and customers in the door, perceived credibility and approachability is what you need. To keep them, you will need actual credibility and good communication, so hopefully you have both.

Etiquette. What does etiquette have to do with my success?Etiquette is an often overlooked but critical factor in our professional and financial success. It extends beyond table manners and permeates our daily social interactions. Treating people with respect, consideration, and honesty defines good etiquette. It’s quite simple: The nucleus of a prosperous relationship depen

Which statement sums up how you define your customers?1) I have a very specific customer in mind -- very specific and very narrow. I only want to sell to this specific customer, I'm not interested in attracting anyone else.Or2) If they have a pulse, they're a potential customer.Okay, in care you were wondering, number 1 is good and number 2 isn't.Yet
