To Blog or Not to Blog – That’s No Longer the Question

Blogging with WordPress

Have you been thinking about launching a blog? WordPress is my blogging platform of choice and also the blogging platform of choice for the majority of the top bloggers on the web today. The reasons for this are plenty but most notable are its ability to be upgraded to a fully customizable theme and the massive amount of support available on the web both in video and text based tutorials.

Blogging is a fantastic way to attract attention from search engines and to build a site full of information and resources for your potential clients. Although it does take a serious time commitment, the rewards, when done correctly, can be well worth the effort. Blogs, due to the fact that they’re updated frequently, attract more attention from search engines. Blogging can be a very powerful tool for assisting sales associates in ranking high on keyword searches and establishing online authority.

If you’ve already made the decision to launch a blog but need a simple to understand tutorial to help you, Check out the  WordPress Zero to Hero Getting Started Tutorial.  It does a fantastic job of taking you through the launch process step by step. Also check out WordPress.tv for a ton of helpful “how to” videos on all aspects of blogging on the WordPress platform.
