What is a Blog?
A blog is a website or web page that is frequently updated, and is written in a way to create interest among your customers or prospective customers. Blogs, as opposed to regular web pages or landing pages, are meant to be more informal and provide valuable and/or interesting information that adds value to its readers. Our Chicago blogging company can help you write blogs that are both informative and useful to your audience, as well as excellent for SEO!
Blogs are great for SEO, although SEO should not be the primary purpose of blogging. Blogs should be looked at as more of a journal or diary, documenting and expressing interesting happenings with your company or industry.
Your blog should be updated with interesting content as frequently as possible, as this will keep people interested in frequently visiting it. You measure how successful your blog is by the amount of people that return to it, and people will only revisit your blog when there is fresh, new interesting content for them to read.

Why Should Blogs Be Part Of Our Overall Marketing Strategy?
Without a doubt, blogging should be a consistent, recurring part of your overall marketing strategy.
Here are a few reasons regularly blogging is so valuable to our Chicago Blogging Company:
- Blogging is one of the best ways to engage your audience and create buzz about your brand. There is almost no better way to show your audience that you are up to date on the current trends of your industry than by blogging about hot topics within it.
- Search engines respond very well to updated content. Blogging on a regular basis will help you rank higher in the search engines. Ranking on page one of Google is the goal!
- Blogs are a great way to keep your customers and prospective customers up to speed on current events, advise them of deals your company is offering, and provide helpful tips or strategies that are relevant to your products, services or industry
- Blogging regularly will eventually build trust with your audience. They help show off your knowledge and expertise in your industry, and allows your audience to get to know you and trust your opinions
- Blogging can help increase your following not only via the blog itself, but also through the many sharing options available via social media and newsletters
Creating blogs with a purpose in mind, along with writing them on a regular basis, will help you grow your audience and will (over time) increase your website traffic and your bottom line. The secret to blogging is keeping at it, because as with most things, it will take some time to build up your readership and audience and results won’t happen overnight. However, as each post goes live, it is likely money in the bank that will keep paying dividends long after the blog has been posted when using our Chicago Blogging Company.
How Do I Get Started Writing Blogs?
Getting started can sometimes be the hardest part, not just with blogging but with anything new in general. That is why our Chicago Blogging Company is here to help you.
Here are some guidelines to help you get started with your blog:
Pick a Platform – Hopefully you already have a website in which it is easy to add a blog to the existing platform. If not, the good news is there are many platforms to set up your blog. WordPress and Blogger are the main two platforms, but there are many others. If you want more than just a basic-looking blog, then hire a good web designer or developer to help you set one up!
You will also need a domain name (website address), as well as a hosting plan. Hosting providers allow your site to be “hosted;” i.e. it is visible on the internet to the public. Once you have the domain name picked out, you can then set up a blogging platform and hosting provider.
Hosting plans range anywhere from $10 a month and up, but if it is just a stand alone blog the monthly hosting fee should be very low and closer to the $10/month. Some companies will even host your website for free in return for allowing their name to appear in the header or footer of your blog or website…
Make a Content Calendar – Create a content calendar, separated by category. If you are a travel writer, for example, you may want to make categories representing each of the different areas of the world. If you are a photography company, you may want categories representing different types of photography (i.e. event photography, office photography, executive portraits, real estate photography, etc.)
Start Writing – Blogging can be time consuming, especially if you’re not accustomed to it. The sooner you get started writing, the better! Even if you are not ready to set up your website or blog yet, you can still work on creating valuable and interesting content in advance so that you will not have to mass-produce all of the content once your blog platform is up and running. Trust us, it’s much easier to start with multiple pages that are already written then trying to create all the content quickly from scratch.
