1. Blogs are what is referred to as ‘Web Based’ – which is a fancy way of saying you can update your blog without having to change the pages in a web editor and upload to the web. And because it is web based, you can update your blog, make new posts and edit old ones from anywhere, on any computer that has internet access.



2. Your readers can subscribe to your blogs RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed so they’ll know immediately when you make a new post. No worrying about email filters or rejected emails, every post is delivered.



3. If you’ve decided to go with a Blog only, it’s a very economical way to give yourself a presence on the web – (you can set up a free blog). And most blog are WYSIWYG based, so you don’t have to know a single bit of code.



4. Whether or not your blog is stand alone or a complement to other avenues of client contact (Squidoo, Articles and/or Websites) you can monetize you site with AdSense, Affiliate links, and WidgetBucks.



5. One of the great things about blogs is that bloggers link to each other. When you find a blog giving information beneficial to your readers you can link to them and they can link back to you. This makes your blog more valuable to your readers and theirs as well as getting Google all excited by the backlinks.



6. When you blog, your articles or posts become archived and are there permanently so you visitors can browse your site and enjoy work you did months ago. And if that post is shared with others they can be sent directly to the post their interested in.



7. Your readers can respond to your posts – this fosters trust and between you and them and which will add value to your site, help with your rankings and keep those visitors coming back to your blog. All of these things help you attract visitors who will eventually become friends and customers.

Marketing is about providing information about products to potential customers; and that’s exactly what blogs do.
