Bloggers get:
- 128% More Leads
- 97% More Links
- 55% More Visitors
And an astounding 434% more pages indexed on Google.
This is one of the reasons why I have been an advocate for “blogging your business” since 2003. It’s not rocket science. It’s just consistently posting content on your blog over a reasonable period of time along with having the right blog set up.
The numbers I shared above are what blog sites get vs. typical web sites.
Imagine what your numbers will be if you don’t even have a web site at all.

Here are some other great reasons to launch a blog for your business:
- Blogging creates a two way conversation with potential business partners and customers.
- Blogging can be fun…it’s stimulating knowing that your content can be found by millions of people.
- It makes you think. I teach my blogging students to read 5 blogs a day within their niche market. This strategy will keep you in the loop and knowledgeable about your topic.
- Blogs are simple, easy and incredibly rewarding for connecting with the right audience.
- Blogs are cost effective. Some might even say the cheapest way to generate leads online today.

Good points. I’m a full time blogger. I started out building a website and then evolved into blogs. That was the best business decision I’ve ever made. I’ve been inspired by your blog for many years Ty and decided to follow your lead. It was a smart move. Thanks for all the value you add to our industry.
Awesome stats. I started blogging several months ago and recently started monetizing it. I agree it's the cheapest way to generate leads online today, and in the long term
Ty,
All great points. Another great reason to have a blog is that it gives you your own piece of online real estate that is yours. If you rely solely on Facebook for example at any moment they can decide to shut down your fan page for no virtually no reason and you are out of business. In my opinion having your own blog that is nicely done is perceived as credible. Perception is reality. I appreciate all that you do Ty.
Thanks,
Kurt
