A Blog for a Creative Entrepreneur’s Business

A blog can boost your creative business in so many ways.

Especially in today’s times, where a personal approach with potential customers resonates more than just selling selling selling.

If you don’t have a website|blog please really think about starting one.

Having a blog isn’t a must & many businesses function pretty well without one.

However, from my experience having a blog, really brings some great advantages to the table. Yes, along with a few disadvantages too, but overall it’s a decision I would say yes to every time.

A blog in this online space we call the internet is actually the ONLY place you can call your own.

Think about that for a moment

Your blog is the only place online that you can call your own. You are in control.

This powerful statement brings all the other places you promote your business into perspective.

If things do go wrong you can sort it out or get help. Even if you use marketplaces like Etsy to sell your (physical) products. Having a blog as your space to share more of your message is a great advantage to have.

You may spend your time on Facebook, Instagram. Or maybe you are over at Etsy, Folksy or another marketplace.

Whichever site is lucky enough to have your attention for long periods of time, understand that you are building those platforms.

Yes, you are using it to help your business but unless you paid for your facebook acc, Instagram account etc..

Then it’s simply not yours. Which means you do not fully control it.

Having your blog to back up your business on a personal and professional level,

is a great benefit to have.
Now, I want you to remember something: I don’t want you to look at yourself as a blogger.

Yes, you are writing on your blog, but you are a creative business owner | creator | maker

Who writes about their creative process that leads to your products or services as a creative business owner.

There’s a big big difference.

See your blog as the powerhouse it is.

It will help build your business authority & expertise through your own words.

Share your personal identity and use your uniqueness to your blog’s advantage.

When it comes to blogging there are a few things to add to your to-do task list, which will help bring in traffic without the effort.

Thinking or finding blog post ideas on a long-term basis can be challenging to many.

But it’s not, if you know the steps to getting fresh ideas, easily.

Finding the balance between what to share and what not to share can also become blurred.

However, those and other obstacles will happen but you will get past them to make your creative blog rock.

People can come to your blog and then visit your shop full of products or services, or viser-verser.

Own your blog

Whether you offer physical products, digital products or services, having a blog will help your business considerably.

That’s how closely linked your shop and blog should be.

Remember at one point in time nobody had a blog. Actually, there was a time when there was no internet.

Everyone who has a blog started the same way, which was to find what worked for them, for their readers & for their business.

So where ever you are when it comes to blogging for your creative business, know you are not alone.

Don’t fight for people’s attention, when you can be the centre of attention, on your own creative blog.
