To blog or not to blog, that is the question!

I get asked this question often, “Should I start a blog”….and you have to ask yourself before you set up a blog (free or not), what do you have to say and tell people about? Are you good at writing stories? I feel I’m a good storyteller, but don’t have the best grammer/spelling skills. Did that stop me from writing a blog? No. Have people corrected my grammer/spelling in the comments area? Yes. Do I care? Not really. I do this for fun. Oh and the big question I get…does my blog make me money? Not really. It’s a marketing tool that I use for the business. Just like advertising, I have the blog. Blogvertising, good idea, but it doesn’t pay off necessarily. Giving value to people does though.

Example: My website gets 3000 hits a month (give or take) and I have wrote up 172 blogs. When people call, they always have a way that they were referred to me, usually via LinkedIn or a friend. Normally, they always say, I read your blog. I don’t count the blog as the way they found me, but the referral source. The blog is what probably helped nudge them to call me for a repair, they read my work, the value I give to people and how helpful I am.

I have not been so good on the blogging as I used to be, but I have committed to getting back on it. I have been super busy with the release of the eBook about social media, but I am excited to get back on and find things for everyone to learn about.

That’s all I had to say today! Have a good day folks!
