Blogging for business

[Labno]

I am soon to be starting my own business and wondered if anyone had any experience with blogging.I am going to feature a blog on my website and wondered what boudaries to stick to...should you stay on topic of the business or wander? Any help appreciated.

I think if it's done in the right way and for the right reasons then a business blog can be an excellent way to network and raise awareness.

I don't think you've mentioned it yet, but what line of business are you entering?

I have a number of ideas which i intend to go through with, but my first is going to be a Property business and obviously the blog would then be about Property and Development.This made sense as me and my brother have a couple of properties already so it seems a natural choice to make...like every wantrapreneur we intend to build a business system with can be self sufficient and therefore move on to our next venture....From opinions i have heard blogging is a must have for any modern internet based business, my main problem is learning how to write one and become more confident in doing so!

Setting up a business system that can run itself with little manual intervention... Sounds like an excellent target to aim for!

Whilst it can be worthwhile seeing how others blog, you'll never actually become proficient until you start actually doing it. My suggestion would be to do some research on etiquette, establish what it is you want to achieve, consider what the audience you're targeting want to read and then just get started.

Yus exactly Will, i shall research all aspects of it....there is just so much to research and so little time whilst having a full time job! All good fun though...
