Despite the increasing popularity of video and podcasting, blogging is still alive and well. In fact, about 409 million people read around 20 billion blog posts each month<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blogging has a much lower barrier to entry compared to videos and podcasting, yet it can provide many great benefits to your site and your business as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of Blogging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here are some great benefits you can get from your blog:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Improve Your Site\u2019s SEO<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Blogging is one of the best ways to improve your SEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you write high-quality content on your blog, people are more likely to share it on their own sites. Not only does this increase your site traffic, but it also increases the number of backlinks to your site. This helps improve your position in search engine results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to OptinMonster<\/a>, websites that also have a blog are shown to have 434% more indexed pages. This makes it easier for potential customers to discover your site using the keywords your posts target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Build a Relationship with Readers and Partners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A lot of marketing and outreach is about relationships, and blogging is still a key way to build them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blog comments are a great way to engage directly with your customers and clients. You can learn what products they\u2019re looking for, what pain points they have, and what features they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also use your blog to build beneficial relationships with partners in the same industry. Organize a guest post exchange or write a special post about them, and you can gain exposure to a different audience and backlinks to your site (just like we\u2019re doing here).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Show You\u2019re an Expert<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Chances are you know a lot about the industry you\u2019re in. Share that knowledge on your blog and start building your site as the go-to place for quality information on the topic. It shows you\u2019re a credible, trustworthy business in the industry and you know what you\u2019re talking about. Then, when your readers need to make a purchase, your site will be the first place they visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
