12 Blogs To Write

There have been many mentions of blogs in my previous entries. The reason I blog about blogging so much is because it is very important to small business websites and the like. It allows you to offer free information to visitors and in turn, they are attracted to your website. So to help you get started or just to help freshen up your blog, I've come up with 12 blog ideas to add to your repertoire.

1. Give some insight as to who your employees are and what kind of people they are.

2. Hold some sort of contest or competition that gets users involved and gets your product out just a little bit more.

3. Write a top 10 or top 100 list having to do with your business.

4. Write some testimonials and post some pictures of customers using your products.

5. Post 10 things customers most likely don't know about your business.

6. Refer others to blogs that you may read or that may be pertinent to your company's industry.

7. Ask an open ended question about your industry and allow readers to respond and join in the discussion.

8. Explain a facet of your industry that the layman may not understand without your help.

9. Describe the reasons why the average person would be interested in your product.

10. Take questions from readers and potential customers and answer them.

11. Write your opinion regarding some recent news in your industry.

12. Explain the average customer experience step by step.

These are but a few good ideas of blogs to get you started. If you apply yourself, and find some inspiration, you'll be on your way to a successful traffic driving blog in no time!

What About You: How an About Page is Supposed to Look

About pages are just supposed to be whatever information you can come up with about you or your business right? It seems pretty simple, just put the business’ history and some contact information and send it out. Well I’d like to point out that though it is a simple page, there are some important details that you do not want to miss.

Remember that if a visitor has ended up at your about page, they are interested, or at least intrigued by your business. For this reason, your about page needs to sell just like your home page does. Don’t just list all the facts out there and hope that they were really looking for a company that was started in 1995. You might try to differentiate your company from others on this page. List things that make your business unique and possibly more able to help the customer. Also, give several reasons why a visitor should use your company’s product or service.

Writing biographical information isn’t always boring. Just remember to keep it casual like a professional conversation with a customer because essentially, that is what is happening. Here’s a good order for your biographical information:
• Start with a few of your qualifications. Maybe you have landscaped in Charlotte, North Carolina for twenty years so this particular visitor should trust you with their lawn. Whatever the case may be, make sure they know that they can trust you with their money.

• List a few accomplishments. This doesn’t always apply to everyone but try to list a few large things that you or your business has done. You can mention other projects that your business is responsible for here as well.

• And the boring stuff. I only say boring stuff because most people don’t actually care about employees’ names or where exactly you are located but it is still pertinent information and does not seem out of place when placed properly.

A properly located and written about page A properly located and written about page is a valuable asset to your business’ website and ultimately your company. Remember that if someone has sought out your about page, you could be on the right track to making a sale or getting a new client. At CODANK, we not only develop the perfect website for you and your business, we can help you write it too. We can help you to make your about page count
