Blogging is scarily effective for businesses.

A Dozen Reasons to Blog - Search Engine Guide Blog reports:

“I had a chance to email with Paul to ask him about the blog and he shares some amazing numbers with me. According to Paul, the company behind the Tin Basher has seen their gross revenues triple since the blog was launched. The blog is pulling in upwards of 50,000 unique visitors a month and the company can directly tie 30-40% of their income to leads that came in through the blog.”

I’ve seen similar results with businesses which blog. A blog helps a business to do more business.

So when you’re proposing a blog to a company use that as your primary selling point. You’ll get more blog jobs.

That said, I hope you’re blogging for your Web writing business. You need to get known as a Web writer, and one of the easiest ways to do that is to blog. On my angelabooth.com blog, I need to be careful not to blog too much - I get too many new enquiries from people who want to hire me. It’s a great position to be in, and it all comes from blogging.

Web writing - the search function on sites

As a Web writer, you’ll often be working with clients who don’t understand the Web and how people use it. “Brochure” sites are common, as are sites which are just Flash presentations, and are therefore not indexed by the search engines.

Site Search is one of the most overlooked areas of Web sites, but it’s vital.

Marketing Sherpa says:

Getting search right is critical to reaching your customers and prospects, but the challenge isn’t limited to commercial search engines. The most important searches are often the ones users perform on your own website.

MarketingSherpa data reveals that 43% of visitors who land on a website go immediately to the search function. And customers who use the search box on ecommerce sites convert at nearly three times the rate of general browsers.

This is valuable information to share with your clients.
