Why have a blog for business?
Why have a blog for business? What can a blog achieve that a static website can’t?
These are questions often asked by business owners and an extraordinary amount of business owners are yet to implement a blog into their marketing strategy.
Many business owners think that once you’ve built your website, the traffic will just come. People will magically find you and your business will boom.
The reality is that without spending a lot of money on SEO services or other forms of advertising, the traffic just won’t come – unless you try something else.
Blogging is growing in popularity for both individuals and business alike because they realise that the more content you add to your website, the more people who will visit. And there is a reason for this.
The search engines are constantly trawling through the internet looking for content and they just love blogs because that’s what they’re there for – holding content!
As a business owner, a blog is an inexpensive way to get your business out there in the world of the internet, and with regular blog posts (at least once a week), you can be assured that you will be well placed to attract people to your website.
The following tips will get you started:
- As mentioned above, post to your blog at least once a week.
- Offer tips and advice to make your blog posts useful and relevant to those reading each post.
- Stay up to date with current events or holidays so you can blog about items relevant to these times.
- If you don’t have the time (or the energy!) to do this yourself, hire somebody to write your blog posts and submit them for you (we can help).
- Be sure to insert keywords into your post title and body so that you’re sure to come up when that term is searched for.
If you begin posting to your blog on a regular basis, be sure to monitor your website traffic, and take note of the blog posts that are getting the most “hits”. Learn from this analysis!

PLR – Is it Ok to Post This Stuff on my Website?
Private Label Rights (PLR) articles are being sold online almost everywhere you look on just about any topic you can think of. The reason why there are so many people offering PLR articles is because website owners are in a constant struggle to keep their website content fresh and up to date.
The reason for this is because the search engines LOVE this stuff, so it’s important to keep adding content every single week if you want to keep people coming to your site.
Not only does regular content help to build your credibility, but also…
- You will be considered to be an expert in your niche which is a good thing!
- The additional content wil help your search engine rankings and your blog’s popularity, so you’ll get more visitors
- Prospects will keep coming back because of the relevant useful content you are posting on a regular basis
- They will be more inclined to sign up to your mailing list so you can sell to them in the future
- You will attract heaps of free traffic, which of course can equal more sales!
But is it ok to buy a pack of these PLR articles and post them straight on your website?
If we’re talking about traditional PLR (which is most of what you find online), then my answer is a resounding “No!”.
Now there is a reason for this. It’s not necessarily because of the quality either, and many of these packages provide you with some great quality content.
But here’s where the problem lies…
Most PLR packages have been sold to 100’s if not 1000’s of people before you. Many of these articles are therefore posted all over the web in their original form.
When you go and post one of these on your website, what do you think a prospect will think if they see that you have the exact same article on your website as the last website they visited? What do you think that does to your credibility?
So here’s the thing…
If you can’t afford to pay somebody like me to write 100% unique articles for you, there is another way and you don’t have to worry about getting PLR articles rewritten either.
You will first need to find somewhere that sells PLR articles in your niche. Visit http://globalwebmarketingservices.com/services/plr/ to see what we have on offer here.
Next, it is important you purchase articles that are at least 30% unique.
The reason for this is because 30% uniqueness seems to be the “acceptable” level of uniqueness of any article online, so if you can find something like that, then great.
Now, MOST importantly, there is one other thing you need to look for:
The articles you buy, must not be sold to anybody else – ever!
Once one other person has received the exact same articles, then you might as well go and rewrite them – they are no longer 30% unique as soon as that other person’s article is posted online.
Make sense? If not, please Contact me or visit http://globalwebmarketingservices.com/services/plr/ for more information on what we have on offer in the way of PLR.
