You are giving away all my "secrets"! I hope no other fence guys read this :-) Seriously though, blogging helped my fence contracting business (recently sold to concentrate on an online store) go to the top of ALL the local searches and in turn I was able to operate with $0 advertising!

What was once described as "you're not on that damn computer again" is now actively encouraged as we all try to find our niche in the blogosphere. As was predicted, those that started earliest are now reaping the most rewards. Our's is a corporate blog but I like to wander off-subject (our photo gift ideas) with more personal snippets and feedback we get from our customers. It's a lot easier (and as I say to companies) cheaper to update a blog yourself with testimonials as they're received rather than pay your web designer to update your website every time. I appreciate that people and in particular companies may be cautious of blogging - all that un-proofed content could do untold harm to a brand but you've got to have faith in the people that work for you and confidence in their judgement. Then you're company blog will really start moving forward. Perhaps a style sheet for employees to follow - it doesn;t hurt to lay some ground rules about what can and can't be discussed and an overview of acceptable english and grammar without stifling the creativity of your best resource.

There’s nothing simpler than constantly reminding yourself why you do something – helps you keep your aims and goals in mind (although with time these can shift or change of course).

What was once described as “you’re not on that damn computer again” is now actively encouraged as we all try to find our niche in the blogosphere. As was predicted, those that started earliest are now reaping the most rewards.

Our’s is a corporate blog but I like to wander off-subject (our photo gift ideas) with more personal snippets and feedback we get from our customers. It’s a lot easier (and as I say to companies) cheaper to update a blog yourself with testimonials as they’re received rather than pay your web designer to update your website every time.

I appreciate that people and in particular companies may be cautious of blogging – all that un-proofed content could do untold harm to a brand but you’ve got to have faith in the people that work for you and confidence in their judgement. Then you’re company blog will really start moving forward.

As usual. I think a lot of people, me included are or were scared that blogging is just regurgitating info over and over and why would anyone want to reread it. It is simple.
