When I
started blogging in 2009, it seems to me like a tall dream but being a very
optimistic business oriented person I never doubted my ability to succeed in
it. During those early periods, I was just having fun posting my thoughts and
feelings on the internet without any recourse to profiteering or becoming
popular like Linda Ikeji, Seun Osewa of nairaland, Ladun Liadi, naij.com, etc.
But today, at least I have crossed the six figures mark in earnings when it
comes to business blogging. My articles and blog posts appear on Page 1 of the
Google search engines and other search engines.
Do you remember
the old ways of keeping in touch with your clients? You usually patch them
through telephone; fax machines, direct mail marketing, and even personal
meetings. But now, entrepreneurs are just smart enough to use the existing
Internet technology to be regularly updated of the latest trends in business
and at the same time keeping in touch with their clients. There is now text and
voice chat, exchanges of e-mail, website forums, and others.

One of the
most online business innovation ever made is the transformation of the regular
blog posting into an online business tool. Before, blogging is just used for
showing different thoughts and ideas. Some are just for fun, while others are
for promotion of something that others think is beneficial to other Internet
users. In other words, it is just a bunch of personal diaries and bulletin
board for those people who want to share their knowledge and thoughts to
others.
But think
again, it is not just for diary writing or whatever. It is now a promotion tool
you can use to boost your business. You can set up blogs in your website and
have it with an associated RSS feed. In other words, you can constantly keep in
touch with your clients and potential customers as well. In addition, you do
not have to e-mail them—your blogs will be responsible in getting the latest
news without actually having to visit your website.
From Regular
Blogs to Business Blogs

blogs that you post for nothing, now it is called the business blog that can
help you save thousands of dollar and providing you great business opportunity with
just one click. Not only is it free to use but also it is user-friendly, can be
customized, and can be a flexible medium for circulating useful information for
effective positioning of your products in the market.
