subject: Is It Possible To Make Blogging My Business [print this page] Finding a publisher for your next book can be done through your blog.
Even if writing a book has never crossed your mind, blogging and writing a book are somewhat similar. Your readers can help you sharpen your writing skills, if you pay attention to their feedback. Once you published your book, use your blog to create a buzz around it. The unpaid advocates for your published book can be the readers of your blog.
You should allow your customers to blog too. Yes, why not invite some of your customers to write about their experiences in your blog. Their experience in dealing with your company or reviewing one of your products is what they can write about. Trust between your customers and company can be built with this form of testimonial.
When there is trouble communicate quickly and honestly in your blog. Having bad news on the horizon can sometimes be possible. You can help make things better by using your blog. You need to let your blog help you resolve the trouble. For example, you may have a software company that just realized there is a bug in the latest program release. Informing your customers about the bug is bad news, but the rapid communication will be appreciated.
While blogs can help you establish your business, build credibility, or improve relationships with your customers, there are several ways you can profit from your blog. For your readers, you can create a subscription-based blog where they can have an annual or monthly membership fee. You can have a private section in your public blog exclusively for members only. In such a way you can create interest on your public blog and sell membership to the private section. When it comes to writing about a certain product, what you can do is sell advertising space on your blog for the manufacturer. You can also try being an affiliate and generating revenue that way. Adsense is another possible source of revenue for bloggers. You first need to be sure that you have a fair amount of site visitors before you decide to go to the Adsense. You need a significant amount of traffic to make money with this option.
