Take a look around the blogging community through Google or blog specific search engines like Technorati. Take a look around through social media content sites such as Digg.com or Reddit.com and you will be pressed to find Utah Businesses who blog consistently. There are of course the occasional blogs which have a few written articles from a year or so ago and have not even been touched since. THIS IS A PROBLEM!
Utah business owners, especially those who are small business owners need to become more aware of the benefits of blogging and the role it now plays in their business. Just because one does not feel "technically savvy" does not mean that gives them an excuse to hide from the future. Blogging is no longer the future of small business marketing, it is now the present! And those who are blogging consistently are reaping the benefits daily. Are you going to be left out?
Our economy here in Utah is largely dependent on the income our businesses make from other States and Countries. Getting new business from out of state is at the core of boosting our economy. There is no better way for many of you small business owners to get new business from outside of Utah than through the Internet. And blogging is your best approach. You are already an expert in your industry. Now it's just time to share your expertise to the world and start getting new customers.
I will tell you something worse than not starting a blog at all. Starting a blog, and then abandoning it! Once you decide to start blogging for your business than stick with it. Don't be a quitter. Blogging, just like most things in life take time. So give it time and be patient. Patient bloggers are profitable bloggers. You want to write valuable unique content that will help readers look to you as the "expert" in your industry. Become the "go to guy" in your market.
