If you have run out of creative and canvassing ways to promote your business, look no further than the World Wide Web. In particular, sites which allow you to create online diaries otherwise known as blogs. Blogs are the abbreviation of weblogs.

They are basically diaries of sorts and can be found free of charge all over the Internet. They are popular with teens and people who travel to business professionals alike and are a great way to let people know about your life or your business. It is easy to incorporate streaming videos into blogs, like a commercial for instance. In fact, the blog page itself can be an advertising avenue. There are plenty of websites that create layouts, backgrounds and images to spice up your blog page and in turn portray the advertising outlook you want for your page.

With your blogs entered in chronological order, it is easy for customers to see what is new, what is coming up and what has already expired with your business. The newest blogs are normally at the top of the page while the first or oldest are at the bottom and easily accessible. They are simple to incorporate into your current mass marketing e-mail alerts as well.

In fact, you could perhaps eliminate the tedious task of writing out e-mails then dragging up the address book only to have the mailer demon tell you half of them are invalid. Just send out one e mail and insert the link to your blog page then the trouble is over. Blogs are wonderful for marketing because you can say anything you like, anyway you would like. If your customer base is a small town farmer, then you can be as laid back and informal, as you need to be.

However, if you have a high corporate customer base then you can change that to sound as high tech and formal as the companies require. You do not have to keep up with your blog site daily. Let your customers know how often to check the blog or just tell them to check every so often. When you create your blog page, you can easily incorporate it into your website.

All you have to do is cross post links to both on either pages then customers can check up on progress or see first hand what products or services you have to offer. Blog pages have been around since about 1983 and in May of 2007, a blog search engine tracked more than seventy one million blogs.
