Why Blog Posts Are Important For Your Business
Blog posts are great for businesses for a variety of reasons — but to simplify things, here’s the main 4…
- Organic traffic
- Lead generation
- More sales
- Increased brand awareness
Organic Traffic
Blog posts — when targeted for the right keywords — can bring in lots of traffic to your website. This is the virtual equivalent of people walking inside your store.
Now, one blog post might only get you a little traffic, but imagine if you have many? Each (blog post) is another pathway to your website, that stays up forever.
Lead Generation
When you have more people visiting your website thanks to blog posts, you’ll naturally generate more leads.
Now, it’s obviously a bit more nuanced than that… But if you get someone on your website… You stand a great chance to turn them from a prospect, into a lead.
More Sales
And with more leads comes? Yep. More sales.
Although blog posts are a “top of the funnel” activity, they still ultimately play a crucial role in the buyer’s journey. They are the first step
Increased Brand Awareness
The primary way blog posts get you more leads and sales, is through brand awareness. A blog post, by its nature, isn’t trying to sell you anything. It looks to educate, inform and entertain. You gain trust by providing free value to them.
Once that trust is built, and they now know who you are, and what you do… Then you can start the sales pitch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why don't you charge per hour?
I don’t charge per hour because I think it encourages the writer to take as long as possible to complete the work. This isn’t good — it’s better for both parties to work on a fixed fee. This way, you’re not having your wallet bled, and I don’t feel pressured to deliver fast.
Why sign a contract?
Signing a contract is important because it protects both parties — you and I. It does this by clearly defining the deliverables, holding both of us accountable.
A contract specifically helps define…
- Pricing of the service provided
- Any potential revisions allowed
- The scope of the project
- Copyright issues
- Deadline of the service provided
Do you do retainers?
Absolutely — retainers are typically for repeat customers who’ve established a relationship with me. If you feel comfortable in my services you can inquiree about a monthly retainer.
What should I include in my message to you?
Making sure you send me a good message is really important. The more information you give me, the better I can deliver for you.
Here’s a list of things you should include in your message…
- Your website, or contact details
- What service you need from me
- What your goals are from using my services
- Who your audience is you are targetting
- Information about who you are/your business is
