Blogging: Should Our Company Blog?

"Should our company blog?" is a common question. My answer is, only if you want more website traffic and increased sales. Company blogs are a great seo tool, but also attract, inform, persuade, and convert viewers into customers and clients (often on the spot/blog).

Search engine optimmization (seo) is huge. Google, Bing, and other search engines are the Yellow Pages of the 21st Century. That is a fact. When most people need something, they grab their phone, notebook, or laptop and simply punch into search engines what they are looking for, PERIOD.

Company blogs also provide links back to company websites, which increase search engine rankings and page placements and seo efforts. This means that your company is easier to find, more visible, and has more credibility in the online world of the Web.

It's basically a no-brainer: your company needs to hire a qualified seo-oriented web content writer to craft clever blog pieces/blog content. It's a great bang for your hard-earned bucks, and will help your company on several fronts.

Who Writes Blogs/Atlanta-Online?: Do I Need A Blog?

Have you been hearing about blogs? (they are more popular than ever.) Two questions are becoming popular around Atlanta these days, to owners and managers that are just now entering the world of the Web in an active manner: 

1. Who writes blogs in Atlanta or Online? 

2. Do I need a blog?

The answers are: 1. Many people try, but professional blog writers succeed best & 2. Yes, almost every business or organization needs a blog.

At Jimmy Hall Writing Services/Atlanta-Douglasville, Georgia (404-580-1501) I am particularly adept at writing blog content/blog pieces in the 300-600 word range, some longer. BUT - Why, apart from earning income, do I provide this blog content service? Why is there a demand for blog content?

Blog Content Service

I provide a blog content service/Atlanta and beyond because businesses and organizations now understand that blogging drives traffic to the main websites of organizations/businesses and increases sales, also makes immediate telephone sales from the blog itself, provides direct two-way interactions with potential customers (and customers and associates), and generally can be used to make your organization seem to be "the authority" or "expert" in a particular area of expertise or sales.

Blog Content Demand

There is a demand for blog content services because blogs proivide concise information, and search engines love them. Therefore, clients of blog writers recieve a great "bang for their buck" as far as marketing and visibility go. Understand? In the end, it is all about sakles and prfit and public image. A blog combines these functions as good or better than almost anything else....

Hire Bloggers

Professional web content writers/blog writers understand search engine optimization (SEO). even smart everyday educated people do not. You can write great and informative content, but what good is it if you do not know how to get the web content to show-up in Google searches or Bing searches? NONE. You need to hire a professional blogger or blog content provider.

I am Jimmy Hall, and I would like to be hired as your blog content provider (404-580-1501). Yes, I know exactly what I am doing. You found this piece, didn't you?  :-)

Do We need A Blog? Does Blogging Increase Business Around Atlanta?

Are blogs good things? Does Blogging increase business and online visibility? Do you need a Blog? Well, the very fact that you searched and found this blog piece means that you really already know the answers to those questions; yes, yes, and yes. Blogging in Atlanta and elsewhere is big!

What Blogging Does

Blogging makes people aware of you or your organization/business, makes instant sales, drives web traffic to your website, provides information, and personal blogs allow you to put info and opinions out there for the whole world, and serve as a source of feedback to you.

Competition Demands Blogging

In this ultra-competitive world/Atlanta Business Community and poor business environment, your organization needs every possible advantage to compete. In fact, at this stage blogs are no longer just advantages or optional, but necessities. Most Atlanta area companies already have them!

Blogging Increases Brand Awareness & Web Visibility

Yes, you need a blog to increase business and brand awareness, and you need a great blog content writer to carefully write search engine optimized (seo) pieces for your new blog or existing neglected one, so that search engines will show your blog pieces in people's web searches! Web visibility is important.

Blogging/Atlanta: How To Start A Blog For Business or Pleasure or Both - Jimmy Hall

Blogging is in for Atlanta businesses and those elsewhere. If you are reading this piece, you must know it since you are reading one, and are interested in the subject. Obviously, blogs are informative, interesting (in many cases), creative, help drive potential clients to websites, make direct sales, convert readers, provide 2-way feedback, are wonderful methods of personal expression, and are great for search engine optimization (seo) purposes!

Start Blog

So, how to start a blog for business in Atlanta, Marietta, or elsewhere is a very relative subject, right? Of course. In fact, personal blogs are even cheap therapy. Where else can someone express themselves to most of the world, basically for FREE?

Blogging Platforms

Most blogging platforms allow you to setup a blog for FREE. I recommend Google's platform, Blogger.com (which the one you are reading is setup on), but some other bloggers prefer WordPress.com. These are the two biggies.

Setup Blog Profile/Info/Blog Name

Once you pick one, setup your profile.  Choose a great NAME with words describing your content. Then, every bit of information you ever wanted to share about yourself or your company or organization (or as little as you want) can be entered in various information fields, with or without photos and videos. 

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)/Keywords

This stuff is really great for search engine optimization, so use keywords and a logical format when entering! (Add your website url and logo and anything else useful.)

Pick Blog Layout

NEXT: Both blogging platforms provide various pre-generated layouts and color schemes and styles. You can virtually make your blog look like whatever you want, and you will change it often! Create the blog. Then, prooofread the basic info, and pre-set the various blog settings exactly how you want them. Make the blog available for search engines, and possibly reader comments - your choice.

Write Blog Piece: Blog!

Finally, it is time to actually write. The blog fields are nice, and easy to maneuver and use. Pick a great subject. Decide on a few keywords relative to it. Title it. Write some solid and relvant copy (words) about the subject in a rational and orderly fashion (usually 300-800 words), double-check the grammar and for typos, and click publish after adding a pic or two (optional). *Hint: Chop the blog up into paragraphs with spaces between them.

Submit Blog To Search Engines/Link To Website

Then, after writing a couple of more pieces, go ahead and manually submit the blog to the big search engines. Within a couple of weeks they should crawl it; maybe faster if you link your website to the blog. Then it will be indexed and added to search results for when people look your keywords up!

Blogging: Hiring Bloggers/Blog Writers

Often, part or all of this process is not for everyone. This is especially true for business blogging. You might have the ideas, but few writing skills and no seo knowledge. In this case, hire a blog content writer or web content writer.

At Jimmy Hall Writing Services/Atlanta - Marietta (404-580-1501), I write blog content, and I wrote this piece! For very reasionable rates, I can help you or your organization. Try me!

Blogging: How Do Blogs Work? ~ Jimmy Hall (404-580-1501)

Blogging is extremely popular, it is the everyday person's opportunity to be a voice and share info to a wide audience. More than that, blogging is also a powerful source of free website traffic, and customer attraction. Therefore, blogs are now big business and marketing tools for companies of all sizes. But, how do blogs work?

At Jimmy Hall Writing Services/Atlanta (404-580-1501) I write blogs for myself and clients. Why and how? Blogs are simple. In most cases they are also free (apart from hiring an expert writer). 

A person or business employee/owner simply goes to a website such as Blogger.com or Word Press and fills out the required or desired info (preferably seo-oriented) and starts writing and posting. 

If the blog material is written well-enough, optimized for search engines, and there is enough of it, the search engines will eventually pick-up on it and display it in search results relevant to its content. (A good writer, probably hired at a reasonable cost, can make this happen within a month or so - depending upon the type of pieces written.) Blogs are also shared and promoted via Social Media (facebook, Twitter, Linked-In, etc).

This means that viewers come to the blog, and whatever is there is seen and read. As such, the idea is to have a pertinent message or products or services visible, and links to websites, so in effect clients or readers are found using the web just as customers were found in the Yellow Pages in the old days. (For some people and businesses, blogs are even substitutes for websites, and less expensive!)

So, the blog functions in several ways: It provides direct info to the readers, and they can then respond through the blog's contact info. Secondly, the blog piece/pieces direct(s) web traffic to corresponding websites, as the blogger desires. Lastly, the blog and the viewer have formed somewhat of a bond, and the reader can comment, give feedback, and recommend the blog to others. In turn. the blogger or company can also answer and communicate with the reader.

In summary - blogging is great. How do blogs work? You have just read the basics. Simple. By the way, you found this blog, didn't you? Further proof that the notion works! Blogging attracts attention and viewers - it creates its own demand for whatever purpose the owner chooses...

Blogging About March Madness: Writing About Basketball - Jimmy Hall

It's March, so NCAA Basketball is in full-swing, and bloggers need to be writing about March Madness. The question is, what is left to write about? Apart from undefeated Kentucky being "unbeatable," and Duke losing in the ACC Tournament, does anybody really care about anything else? 

I am a University of Georgia Fan. As of today, we are out of the SEC Tourney, but will likely make March Madness; still, should I be happy? What should I be writing about basketball? I am an Atlanta guy.

Maybe the thing to do is to predict the demise of Kentucky. Everyone in the country thinks they are a shoo-in to win the NCAA Championship; so, why not predict it the other way? How 'bout an early loss and exit from the tournament? (Remember San Francisco's 29-0 '77 team, that then met and lost 121-95 to UNLV in the first round?) Or, what about a Cinderella Georgia run?

Imagine that, the Dawgs winning the NCAA Tourney, and the National Championship. We did have a lead on Kentucky in one of the last games of the regular season, and were tied at half-time. I guess it could happen. If you can play with Kentucky, on any given night you can stay with anyone.

This basketball blogging deal is simply not working out. Basketball and blogging do not mix without throwing in flashy personalities. It may be March Madness time, but I think I sure could write a lot better about the Atlanta Hawks; they've won 51 games!

Blogging Promotes Website Traffic ~ Jimmy Hall - Atlanta - 404-580-1501 / http://www.jimmyhallwritingservices.com/

Blogging? Atlanta Blogs, Blog Writers Atlanta

Blogging is an excellent way to drive web traffic to your website and webpages. How and Why? Search engines love well-organized, relevant, and keyword-rich blog postings and blog pieces - and your website should be linked to your blog and social media components. In essence, when someone finds your blog and topic via a search engine, they have also found your website and phone number. Therefore, Blog Writers are a solid investment in your organization's future. Fact: Blogging promotes website traffic.

Blogging/ Social Media Strategy

Ideally, your organization's blog should be a part of a larger marketing and social media strategy that is designed to draw viewers to your site, inform them, and then convert them to whatever it is that your outfit needs them to do (usually buy something or believe something). However, as with other forms of web content writing, these pieces must be search engine optimized (seo) without sounding ridiculous. (That is where a professional web writer comes in.)

Blog Traits

Blog pieces should generally be of a short to medium length, written simply and to the level of their targeted readership, and be conducive to two-way communications and feedback. Talk with people, not just AT people. Understand?

Blog Writers/ Web Content Writers/ Blog Content Providers

A web content/writer/ blog content provider might be just exactly what your social media program (or lack there-of) might be needing. I encourage you to investigate the matter further, and then make a telephone call or two. My number might be a good start! (404) 580-1501, Was this any help to you?
