Blogging is actually a very good content marketing strategy. Irrespective of your business size you can actually benefit from blogging. However, you will benefit from blogging only when you are able to rank your blog on search engines and you get a lot of traffic on your blog. If your blog does not appear on the top Google search results, searcher will never find your site and you will not get traffic from Google, when you are not getting traffic from organic sources, you will not have any engagements on your content, therefore, your blog will not only fail to generate sales but also fail to build brand value. In order to make your blog rank well and get search traffic, you need to be highly skilled in SEO writing, which might not be possible because we don't expect a business owner also to be a good writer and SE expert. Therefore, there might be a need for a professional blogger or SEO expert. If you are hiring a professional blogger and SEO expert, you might have to spend a lot of money, which might not be financially viable if you are a small business owner. INstead of blogging, a better strategy would be social media marketing.

Blogging is definitely one of the most important tools that business owners can be able to use fully to their advantage in order to get customers to themselves .

1. Build trust . Let us see that you are trying to market a photographer course that is aimed at teaching people how to be able to use a camera from the sky , you are going to convince people that you are the right person for the job if you are having a website that is going to be posting articles about photography and also how beginners can be able to take complete advantage of the space .

2. Extra money . You can be able to take complete advantage of blogging as a way of making extra income outside your business . This is because you can be able to monetize it with Google adsense but if you do not want that then you can be able to also go into partnership with other people who are having the same business model with you . You can also be able to run affiliate programs to other product that is not directly related to the items that you are selling on your own website .

The Internet has opened up a world of possibilities for small business owners that previously weren't available. Blogging is one tool that can help make your business stand out from the competition.

When you blog about topics related to your business, or about your industry in general, you're creating a space for yourself on the Internet. It's as if your own personal website exists, but it's not necessarily tied to any one URL. Because of this, search engines are much more likely to show your blog posts when someone searches for information related to your business, or a topic related to your industry. The more content you post that is relevant and informative, the more exposure you'll get through search engine optimization (SEO).

There are many other benefits to blogging. It's an opportunity to cultivate relationships with other bloggers who may be interested in what you have to say and will link back to your site. You can showcase your expertise and build trust within your community by providing valuable information that people want to read. And it's a great way of staying top-of-mind with clients or customers who may have forgotten about you or may not even know you exist.

Having a blog for your business is a tactic that if it works, would serve you and the business excellently. It was during the Covid 19 pandemic that most small business owners realised that having an online presence for their businesses would have helped them have higher reach and they could still keep in contact with their customers at a cheaper price.

But it doesn't mean blogging is for everyone and every business out there. You have to do some research first and if possible, invest in learning more. If it works for you, you can even earn extra money this way or turn to an affiliate. It also links you to others on your niche who can be of help and it positions you as an expert to them and your clients.

It can also be a relaxing hobby for those who love to read and research on things. You learn more in the bid to put more on your site. I'm the long run, you become better at your business while making more money
