Do I Blog to Get Over Failing English? Perhaps!
Because I failed Junior English in High School and did not pass Business Writing in College, it gives me the warm and fuzzies when people say they enjoy reading my blog. If I could just go back and find those teachers.... well, I regress.
I meet business owners and other florists who ask me why I bother to write a Blog. My reasons are actually pretty simple. I like writing, I like sharing the knowledge I've gained in my industry and I'm a social person.
I write like I talk and although others might have trouble finding topics to write about, it's comes pretty easy to me. I think of things I want to talk about when I'm at home watching TV, driving in the car, taking a shower or even at 3 AM when I can't fall back to sleep. I write down exactly what I would say if you were here in front of me, minus all the Italian hand gestures of course!
Sharing advise, money saving ideas, new products and life experiences are all easy topics for me and it seems folks want to read about them. Consumers want to do business with people they know and trust and blogging is another way of showing who I am and what my company is all about. My goal isn't to turn ever reader into a customer but if a few of them decide to take a chance on us, all the better.
Blogging has been a great tool for my business and it's a been a great boost to me. I'll never write that great American novel (Romance, of course) but knowing that 100 people stumble upon my blog every day and seem to find it entertaining is just enough incentive for me to keep writing!
Is there one of our blog posts that you found to be a favorite? If so, I'd love to hear which one!
