The Beauty Of Blogs

Posted by Judy Mottl Tuesday, Aug 14, 2007, 12:36 PM ET

What's your favorite online small business resource and blog? You tell me yours and I'll tell you mine.

And better yet I'll push out a list to all readers to share the wealth and knowledge the sites and blogs provide us in the small business arena.

In the past several years business, as a whole, has jumped on the blog wagon for many reasons--to keep clients updated on company activities, new products, new technologies; to keep workers updated on internal topics and issues within the business; to share wealth and knowledge with others.

But the fact is blogging requires time and in the small business world there usually isn't enough time for lunch nevertheless spending 15-20 minutes posting news or data or just general musings of trends within the SMB environment.

Yet it's been proven that blogging can boost the business, and if done with a tight focus and commitment it can reap unexpected rewards such as drawing in new business, networking with industry colleagues and cementing a company's footing within a niche industry.

That's why I want to know where you go to get what you need online, the bloggers you read on a regular basis and why, and if you've got your own blog up and running. If you don't there's a great primer site that makes it all pretty easy, with some technology options that would fit any business budget. There's even some good links to well-known blogs that focus on blogging itself :)

So take the lunch break, forgo the soup and salad, and explore what blogging can bring to your business. And then don't forget to share here.
