Business Blog Vs Normal Website – Which Is Better To Use
As a member of a local small business network, I constantly hear small business owners discussing some of the issues and challenges they face when taking their business online.
Something I hear quite often at these meetings and pretty much everywhere I go is “my website is currently under construction”, or “my website is still being developed.”
The online business revolution actually started a few years ago, but many business owners have not yet heard of it. It’s called “blogging“.
I own several businesses that operate exclusively online and I mostly promote them now using business blogs. These blogs take me less than a day to fully install, set up and configure, and the software, themes and plugins that add incredible functionality to my sites cost nothing to buy. Additionally, I can get my sites indexed in Google in as little as 2-3 days, even on a brand new domain name, and within a week or so, they are already attracting buying visitors to my sites.
It all seems crazy to me, therefore, when I hear people telling me that their website “is currently under construction” or “still being developed”.
If you could take your business online with a professional-looking site in less than 48 hours and have the site actively promote your business every time you add something about your business (like a new product announcement) and click the “publish” button, then why would you spend hundreds of dollars and wait weeks or – as is usually the case – months, to put up a static website?
It doesn’t make sense to me. Especially when it comes to small business owners. In a previous article, I explained why a business blog is a better, cheaper, easier, faster and smarter option to promote your business online than using a normal “brochure-like” website.
I was going to create a video that explains the differences between a business blog and a normal website, but then I found this excellent video on YouTube, called Business Blog Vs. Normal Website:
As you can see from the video above, if you are a business owner – especially a small business owner, there are many reasons why you should consider using a business blog instead of a normal, static website.
Does that mean that we are going to see the “Death Of Websites” being promoted around the web?
No … I don’t think so. A website does have its own set of benefits and it’s important to know when to use both. In fact, I took an excerpt from a previous video I recorded that explains why business blogs are a smarter way of doing business and made it into the video below, where I share with you a very effective strategy I use to promote and grow my businesses fast and sell more of my products and services:
I hope you have enjoyed watching the videos above. If you want to avoid waiting weeks or months to get a website built and save yourself a bunch of money, then visit our main website at www.SelfPublishWeb.com to learn how to get your own business blog up and running in less than 48 hours and start growing your business online fast!
