Marketing Blogs – First Steps First
When you’re thinking about adding a blog to your marketing there are several things to consider that will help you with developing your blog.
Is your marketing blog your only website? If this is the case you may take a different approach then you would if you’re adding a blog to your online presence.
Is your marketing blog going to be an addition to your current online presence (i.e. you already have a website or maybe even another blog already)? If your marketing blog is an addition to your other web properties (websites, blog, etc.) how will you integrate these together?
Either way you still will want to identify who your primary target is for the blog and what the main goal of the blog is.
Who you’re targeting and what your goal is will help define the site. It may impact the domain name, the pages and categories you choose, what you’ll talk about on your blog, how you’ll move someone from being a visitor to a prospect or a sale.
So rather then rush into getting a blog, take some time to think through what you plan to accomplish with the blog.
This is a good tip. I will definitely keep this in mind as I start putting together blogs for my direct mail service.
