Hey guys!
How is it going? We hope you are doing awesome!
So, you are ready to become the go-to guy in your niche?
It doesn’t matter if you are a plumber in California…
Or you have a business in Florida…
The rules are always the same.
One of the best ways to become an authority in your niche is by blogging.
And you may say it takes a lot of time, but it’s really powerful!
The platform, the action, and the readership are all incredibly valuable tools for anyone wanting to Become and Authority.
But what exactly does a blog do and where does all that value come from?
Let’s take a closer look at what makes a blog such an incredibly powerful tool and why you pretty much have to have to have one.
What Blogging Does
A blog is a direct communication tool between you and your customers and readers.
It allows you to communicate with them in a much more personal way than any single article ever could and it allows you to generate content on the fly.
Blogs are easy to use, without any complex technical tools in place and no programming knowledge necessary.
You can install one in 5 minutes, write a post in the same way you would on a word processor, and update your theme and style in seconds, often times for free.
On the social side, blogs have built in tools to syndicate content all over the globe.
Someone presses a button and they can have access to your posts from their phone, desktop and browser every day.
They can also share with others easily, and they can write comments that you will have easy access to anytime, through your email.
Finally, there is the value a blog has in a search engine.
Even if you’re not using a blog for your personal presentation, you’ll find that the platform is wonderful for linking, search engine friendly code, and easy to index pages.
Google loves blogs and they make for easy site creation.
Blogging for Contractors?
So, with all that in mind, what does it mean to create your own blog?
It all depends on what you’re doing and how you want to use your site, but in my opinion, you pretty much need to have a blog, regardless of its uses.
The majority of contractors and marketers like to have their names out there at some point in their careers, allowing them to network with other contractors or potential customers.
Second, there is the fact that a blog is going to be the easiest tool you’ll ever use to build a site.
If you’re thinking about putting together your first authority or review sites, using a blogging platform might be just what the doctor ordered. (we recommend WordPress for that matter)
They go together in minutes, take minimal programming, and allow for easy adding and indexing of new content later on, when you start tacking on new articles or reviews for Google.
Whatever you do, the goal of the blog should always be to facilitate conversation.
And position yourself as an authority, right?
At the end of the day, a blog is one of the fundamental tools of all Internet marketing.
It isn’t a trendy tool that only a few tech-savvy users will pick up.
It’s one of the backbone tools of the game and it will allow you to quickly and easily access a wide range of potential new sales, regardless of the nice you’re currently marketing in.
