Blogging for Business Value

by Daria Steigman on June 4, 2009

Have you ever wondered why a growing number of small businesses are investing time and resources into starting and maintaining a blog?

My latest column for CW Bulletin is out, and the topic is blogging for business value. While there is no magic formula for business success, a well-written, well-focused blog can be an effective way of promoting yourself by adding value for your multiple stakeholders.

The column looks at three key reasons why, if you don’t have one, you might want to consider starting a business blog:

  • content
  • thought leadership
  • street cred

Plus it features insights from Marc Meyer and A.J. Leon, both of whom know a little something about successful business blogging.

Read the column here, then come back and let’s talk about why you are (or aren’t) blogging for your business.

I enjoyed the CW article. I’ve only recently begun blogging and have struggled with finding enough time and the right mix. Your article helped reinforce that the importance of finding the time. Thanks!

Great point, Sarah. I’ve got the “why blog” part down well, but making the time to blog regularly is an ongoing challenge for me too. Good luck with your fledgling blog!

Best,
Daria
