I’m starting a series to answer the question, why all businesses, online marketers and professionals should have a business blog. 

Reason #1 – Your Blog Is Gigantic Lead Capture

When you set up your business blog the right way it can be the best way to capture leads, build connections of potential clients and customers.  Your blog can become a huge marketing billboard attracting your target audience. 

Your blog is your biggest lead generator and the first step to having your audience get to know who you are and what you do.

Imagine having a virtual home or store where people could visit, look around, grab helpful tips or important information to solve a problem.  Your blog could also be a place for your audience to be entertained all while learning about your business, products, programs or services.

Whether you are just getting started with an online business or you are promoting other people’s products as an affiliate marketer or even if you are a business owner or professional with a brick and mortar offline business….you should have a blog!

Your blog is the best place to capture people’s attention and draw them in to capture their information so you can stay in contact with them building an important ongoing connections that will lead to offering your products, programs or services.

Selling is already hard enough and people don’t want to be sold to.  Your business blog is a great way for people to browse, search and find you based on the information they want to see.  And when you can provide that information that pulls them in, you will also get attention from the search engines.  They in turn will reward you by putting your information on first pages of their search engines. 

Since your blog acts as a gigantic lead capture, this gives you the opportunity to use your unique capture pages offering your visitors and readers free video trainings, workshops, downloads or other valuable information in exchange for their email.  A powerful way to build your list into an important asset developing your business relationship with them so they soon become paying customers or team members to your programs.

So your blog becomes a huge lead capture generator for you.  And if you are a business owner, online marketer, work from home entrepreneur or business professional you need a blog!
