rss_icon Every business needs online presentation. Your web presentation is something that must to take place in your marketing calendar. More and more large companies make use of blogs in their daily business activities. Also and small business have needs blogs as one of their marketing weapons.

But, here is asked too many questions about ways of online presentation of the businesses. Here I want to present some solution that is very cost effective and very easy for using.

What is blog?

For the purpose of this presentation I must to start with briefly description of the term blog. Blog is the contraction of the term weblog that mean web diary. In the next paragraphs I like to describe what is blog:

  • First of all blogs are websites;
  • Second, blogs consist blog posts;
  • Third,blogs have dynamically content that is constantly updated with new posts;
  • Forth, the content of blog is in the form of texts, comments, audio, video, images…
  • Fifth, blog posts can be read by every person that read something on the internet and finally
  • Sixth, readers may to send comments on the blog posts.

What is difference between static websites and blogs?

I know that there are too many questions about why using blogs instead of traditional static website for your business. I will present the basic differences between websites and blogs.

  • Updated content. Static web pages do not change their content very often. Therefore, when your current or potential customers visit your page several times and they don’t find additional new content will not coming back again. This mean loosing of visitors and loosing the power of websites as marketing weapons for your business. With blogs the situation is different. Your content will be updated on daily, weekly or monthly basis and your readers will come from time to time to read something on your blog.
  • Easy to update content. To publish the posts on the blog you don’t need technician person. The blog posts could be published from persons that don’t know anything about websites. It is very similar as sending e-mail.
  • Interaction with visitors. Static web site will not give you this opportunity. Each post has a function for commenting. In this way your web presentation will be two-direction communication tool and permanent source of information for your business.

You may to find much more differences between static websites and blogs as web sites. But, I think that these three differences are so powerful when you want to decide about type of your website as your marketing weapon. Blogs are something that will increase your business potential energy as much as you have more and more visitors to your web presentation. For example, if your static web site has business potential energy from 0,3 to 0,5 blogs will have from 0,7 to 1. (Business potential energy as I described in the free report Introduction of Business Potential energy may to vary from 0 to 1 depending on the state of that business element).
