Blogging Core of Social Media Marketing

When it comes to social media marketing, a blog is basically the core of the whole plan because this is where your content will be placed.  Good content is essential to social media marketing.   A blog is where you can post useful information about your business, share your expertise and give your viewers insights on your industry.  A blog is where you can start earning trust from your readers.

A blog is where you can distribute free content on the internet, who doesn’t like free content?  I read a lot of blogs everyday to learn new things on internet marketing and social media marketing everyday.  It is important to become the thought leaders in the industry, so people will visit your blog or even subscribe to your blog and read your blog on a regular basis.

Why do I say it is the core of social media marketing?  This is because you can import your blog feeds into your Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter and other social media platforms.  You can submit each post on social bookmarking website such as Digg, Stumbleupon, Delicious and Reddit, bringing more traffic to your blog and earning links back to your blog, which increasing your search ranking.

Blogs are extremely search engine optimized friendly, therefore you should use keywords or keywords phrases wisely for each post’s title.  That will attract readers to your blog which may ultimately convert to sales.  Also, the search engine loves fresh content.  If you blog regularly, your content will most likely be picked up from the search engine which again drives traffic to your blog.

Has this convince you to start a business blog?  If it hasn’t, why not?
