Blog Aid - Start Blogging


Start Blogging

If you are a blog novice, writing lengthy essays is not a necessity. I started posting with one image and one paragraph. There are bloggers that have built large audiences using this method, it does not take long to upload an image and write a quick summary. It will help you get your blog established and over time you will find your voice.

Tip; If you choose this method, post frequently, at least three times a week.

Blog Aid


I remember having the same thoughts about blogs as many people who haven't yet discovered the benefits. 'I haven't got time' but, I can assure you, if you think differently it can be the best medicine and you won't look back. 

People spend time uploading images to Facebook...did you know you can automatically send your blog posts to FB

Logo & Blog Design




Thank you to another lovely customer. It is a real pleasure helping new, and small businesses express their identity through design  (Logo and blog design)


Moments Remembered
"I had a new small business and big ideas, I began to think I needed a presence on the web but I didn’t know how to get it or who to turn to. I was from a corporate background where we had departments to do this kind of thing.  Now I was on my own and confused and then I found Belinda.
In 24 hours I had the best-ever blog which portrayed exactly the image of I wanted for my business. Working with B was such a pleasure.  She led, I followed but all the time I felt that it was my blog we were creating. Her creative input was enormous but was offered so gently that I felt in control all the time. Now that my blog is born I feel it is something that we created together and I look forward to working with B on other materials needed for the business and, of course, I am keenly looking forward to my lessons on how to maintain my blog"

Content Marketing

Elecom is one of the first to introduce a projection keyboard to market

Content is now the most important aspect of a website. Google´s 'freshness' update, has resulted in irrelevant and old content leading to low ranking in search engines. 
Fresh and frequently renewed content will boost ranking and, lead traffic to your website.
Content is key for social media. Users share content that is informative or new. If a company wants to be at the forefront of social networking, the content it publishes on social platforms needs to be kept fresh and interesting.
Don't underestimate its power. 
It is an art

WHAT IS A BLOG

blog (a portmanteau of the term web log)

www.blogger.com
Blogger was launched in 1999. Blogs have reshaped the web with frequent new information. Google loves Blogger.

Most good quality blogs are interactive allowing visitors to leave comments. It is this interactivity that distinguishes them from static websites


It is what you want it to be!


Examples;
  • Self expression
  • Inspiring an audience
  • On-line diary
  • Store and organise
  • Evolve an identity
  • An alternative to a website
  • Brand advertising
  • High Google ranking potential
  • Educational
  • Communication with the world


WEBSITES love BLOGS - Target your audience
