At Web-JIVE, we listen to our customers requests, and two requests have been consistent, a newsletter and blogging services. Well, we listened, we developed and now we're announcing them!
Web-JIVE Does Blogging!
Do you want to rank well in the search engine result pages? Let Web-JIVE create a professional, customized web blog that reflects the branding for your business while keeping your online marketing current, relevant, and searchable!
Blogs are one great way to get Google to index your site more frequently, which in turn helps your organic rankings. We can make sure a blog is added to your website every month, week, or more often if you require. We will set up your blog (if you don't have one already), create content (usually 250 plus words) and publish it to the web.
Blogging on your website is a great way to add fresh content while keeping viewers engaged in your business. Web-JIVE customers are provided with several choices they can use as their blogging tool. Give us a call today to discuss your options and ability to start blogging on your site!
Here are a few good tips to consider when blogging on your site.
Make your blog posts interesting and thought provoking. Be unique. What makes your blog stand out? Why should people read your blog rather than the others in your niche? People can read more than one blog, but being original is the best way to stand out in someone's memory. This means writing original content, having an original focus (possibly a well-known niche, but with a twist?), and giving your readers something to be interested in every time you post.
Image galleries provide a great opportunity for you, the business owner, to showcase your work for site visitors. They provide real examples of work you have produced and give potential clients concrete evidence of your capabilities and a glimpse of what you could potentially do for them. As a Web-JIVE customer, you have various tools available to you that will allow you to showcase your work in a gallery.
Just like the rest of your Web-JIVE site, the image gallery tools available will allow you to change the content, upload new photos, re-organize existing images, and delete items as often as you like. And as always, this all happens real time.
As a Web-JIVE customer, you have many tools and applications at your disposal that can help you keep your site dynamic and current. These tools allow you to advertise upcoming events, discuss issues and news specific to your business, announce specials, and post examples of products and/or work performed so potential customers can see what you offer. This is just a small sampling of the tools available to you! We will cover some of these tools, in depth, in upcoming blogs.
Lets start with blogging. Blogs are becoming one of the most popular tools that companies are utilizing to promote their name and products/services. As a customer of Web-JIVE, you have a basic blogging tool included with your site.
As business owners, one of the first things we often do, is forget to promote our website like we do other areas of our business. In order to attract potential customers and ultimately sell your products or services, your website URL ("www.web-jive.com", for example) needs to be on every promotional tool you use.
Business cards, flyers, letterhead, envelopes, invoices, and all other forms of print media should include your URL. Yellow page listings, billboards, and newspaper and magazine ads should too. Be sure to include your URL on promotional items like pens, coffee mugs, and mouse pads. The more a consumer sees your web address, the more likely they are to remember it and check it out when they are shopping for your product or service. Another thing this exposure helps with is, word-of-mouth business, the best kind.
NEW! Starting March 1st, Web-JIVE will be sending weekly newsletters aimed at helping you grow your business and utilize your website to it's fullest potential. This weekly newsletter will tell you what's happening on board at Web-JIVE, announce upcoming events and training sessions, and provide useful information about your site - your business - and your success! We will discuss ways to market a website, Search Engine Optimization, how to use our system, and much more!
