Blogging can certainly drive tons of traffic to your business website, increase visibility for your business, and assign authority to your brand.
According to research by WordPress, roughly 410 million people visit and read blog posts monthly. If you don’t set up a blog for your business, you won’t be able to imagine how much you’re missing out on opportunities to reach a large audience of people and turn visitors into customers.
And if you’ve set up a business blog, you need to start writing immediately. Optimize your blog to ensure that people visit your blog and read your content.

1. Blog Regularly
You don’t necessarily have to be a perfectionist at blogging, but you should try to blog consistently. Do not publish 5 posts in any week and no more post for the next three months. If you do blogging that way, your blog will go stagnant for being inconsistent and your business will not grow on time.
The more you continue blogging, the easier it becomes. That’s natural about blogging as I’m personally experiencing this every day. What I do here, I also do on my personal blogs and it keeps getting easier for me every day. So, to make the most out of blogging, simply establish a posting routine for you to remain a consistent blogger.
Research and analysis show that publishing 4 times a week, or 15 – 16 times a month has been the best ever. Entrepreneurs posting 16 or more posts to their blogs monthly get approximately 4 times much more traffic than others posting less number ranging between 0 – 4 monthly.
Your main job is to run your business efficiently, not spending the whole of the time blogging, notwithstanding creating some good time to blog is instrumental in building your business and rocking the business world. I know some business owners who employed dedicated content writers to handle the writing while they rock on their business doing the needful.
Very helpful tips! I know I need to write consistently. I do struggle with this. It's funny. I'm learning so much about internet marketing but when it comes to writing I'm not so good.. But I'll keep trying.
I might consider letting someone do some guest posting (voluntarily) on my blog if anyone wants to. I need to get more content onto my site. Then I can start concentrating on setting up an email list.
So much work as I sit here. Where did the time go?
Thank you very much for sharing this post. I wish I could write like you do.
