Talking to Trees, In a Desert, With Your Mouth Closed
November 23, 2010 | 
Author If you think that is the act of a crazy person, it might be time to check your blog. The internet is vast (200 million blogs and counting as of 2009), and as involved in your own business as you might be, and how interesting every word about it seems to you, chances are most people who aren’t you aren’t looking for your blog. And even if they are, I’m guessing it’s not very easy to find it. Basically, the vast majority of blogs are talking to trees, in a desert, with their mouth closed. “But that’s okay! It’s just backlinks!”
No.
Along with increasing internet presence, a blog can be a wonderful way to actually get more direct traffic to your site via people actually clicking the little thing that leads to your site.
Talk to People Not Trees
In order for people to do that though 3 things need to happen:
1. They need to find your post or blog.
2. What your blog or post says needs to be interesting, entertaining, and different than that other guy’s post or blog.
3. You need to somehow let them know that more treasure awaits if they click that little link at the bottom.
That’s not as easy as it sounds. Take a look at this page. How many posts did you read? How many did you care to read? Someone wrote each and every one with the hopes and dreams that every person who visited would be so caught up in the fantastic info provided that they would immediately go looking for more information – the best laid plans of mice and men.
Here’s how you create a good business blog, no matter what your business is:
1. Get someone else to write it – You don’t have time and you’re not a blogger. If you want to portray a professional feel, that is okay, but blogs should not be too professional, they should be written as if a regular person is talking to another regular person.
2. Don’t get too cute – Two regular people talking, but make sure they are actually talking about something.
3. Consider Trivia – Give them something, it can be a short fact, or any piece of info weaved into your piece, this builds trust for when you do start talking about your business and also makes it more interesting. And if they stop reading, at the very least they left knowing something new.
4. Pretend they don’t care – Most don’t, so quickly, accurately, and in an interesting way let the reader know that there is some benefit to reading this blog or post.
So go forth from the desert, and begin talking to real trees with your mouth actually open… better yet talk to people.

The Business Blog: A 21st Century Necessity
We’ve all heard about blogs but few people know that business blogs are critical tools for the growth of any company. Think about the last time you used a local telephone book to find a business or service. Compare that to the number of times you performed an internet search. Case closed. We’re guessing your yellow pages are collecting dust if you haven’t managed to throw them away altogether.
Unlike the telephone book that is organized alphabetically, the internet is stacked with a “survival of the fittest” strategy. The stronger websites rise to the top. This doesn’t necessarily mean they’re the best, just the strongest in a way that confounds the owner of a quality business stuck on page 1,432,987 of the search engine results page.
The way to climb your way to the top is to Blog or write about your business. A simple article that shows what you do is all it takes, however for many people an article like this is like facing a dreaded term paper in school. You put it off until voila! Like a bolt from above you get a brilliant idea. You pay someone else to write it for you!
The wonderful thing about hiring a 3rd party blogger is it’s perfectly legal and ethical. It’s delegating this vital job to an expert, like hiring an accountant to do your taxes. You can’t be an expert at everything and blogging with just the right techniques for getting the attention of the search engine is special and technical. In other words, don’t try this at home. Let a professional blogger do it for you.
Blogs strengthen the brand of your company by delivering a consistent message about the mission, the products and services. A business Blog is just what you need to grow and succeed in the 21st century. You do what you do best for your business and leave the Blogging to us at 3rd party Blog.
