Starting a blog and creating good blog content can be a scary thought to a lot of business owners however; writing a blog is not that difficult or scary as many local business owners might think. Most people hesitate about writing because they were never any good at writing and might feel that they don't have anything to write about or because they believe they are not an "expert" in their niche. What many business owners don't realize is that it can very easy to create quality content if you are new to your market niche and are not yet AN "expert" in it. But lets face is when it comes to Internet marketing for any local business in the greater Toronto area is critical to getting new customers and creating good blog content is key to creatin"g faith, trust and good customer relationships.
To find good content all you have to do is do some quick research regarding any of the keyword terms that your niche market is using to find forums,
blogs
, and articles on the Internet and just read to educate yourself on the topics that are most important to your market. That is how you become an expert in your field, by researching and learn about your topic just like when you learn a skill in school or and other skill in life.
Creating content for local business marketing can be very quick after you do your research and learn about your chosen topic. All you need is 10 minutes to create an article. This is a technique that was taught to me by one of the top Internet marketers Ed Dale. You can use this technique for creating
blog
content for your small business marketing strategy. After you read about your topic set up a timer for 10 minutes, be sure to go in to a quiet place where you will not be disturbed.
Write down the title for your new
blog
post, be sure it is keyword rich, then start the timer and just start writing and do not stop. Write down everything you learned from your research. If make a spelling mistake don't go back to fix it, if you forget a detail just write "I forgot this detail" and DO NOT go back to find it out. Write everything that comes in to your head about your topic and even if you end up writing "blah blah sometimes. You are not editing your content you will go back and edit and fill in any details you forgot later.
When your 10 minutes are up stop writing. Put away your article and do not look at it for 24 hours. Yes your article will be bad, but here's the thing no one will see it but you. But you can edit it all when you come back to it but now you have a rough draft for your article. This technique will take time getting used because you have been taught in school to edit as you write. With time your article first draft will get better and less editing will be needed.
Edit your draft 24 hours after you write it, strategically insert the keywords in your content, spell check, add any details that you missed and double check any facts that you included into your post. That is also the time you add any links and images to your
blog
post. In no time you will be able to create articles on a daily basis quickly and easily branding yourself as an expert in your nice at the same time creating a powerful small business marketing strategy as you start dominating your local business market.
However if you still feel like you do not want to spend time creating articles and blog
post content but rather spend time growing your business and serving your customers or clients you can
