If you are creating and building an online home business to offer information to a particular niche that you have an interest in, the use of a blog is essential to ensure that you are reaching your target audience quickly and effectively. Just imagine how beneficial it would be to communicate in a two way type conversation with your chosen niche on a regular basis. Once the niche has been identified, your target is to become the expert, the authority figure, the number one person to go to in order to source valuable content to solve problems and to enhance learning. A blog is a very useful platform to publish content easily, simply and for those in the niche to communicate with you by visiting the blog and leaving messages. Yet what do you put on a blog? The majority of the information that you post on your blog should be useful in terms of assisting those who have an interest in the subject topic. However, you can use the blog to include personal information and experiences so that you avoid creating a solely technical one. By including personal stories and narratives, you will make the information that you freely share more believable and therefore engaging for the visitors. The key is that your blog will be more interesting if the visitor can clearly relate to and identify with you. Don't fall into the trap of just filling the blog with unwanted and uninspiring content as this will not be attractive to any visitor. If you impart information but offer a unique angle or insight you will quickly engage visitors and create the desire in them to return on a frequent basis for more. And the key point is to offer information that is very useful but is missing something. It is incomplete and thus the visitor should be asking for more. And this is how to then introduce the offer of one of your products or services. A succesful strategy is to integrate recommendations into postings and thus you will succeed in avoiding the clumsy "buy now" messages and thus avoid the suspicion that most website and blog visitors have that they will be faced with an immediate offer. Through regular posting to your blog you can integrate sales messages without your visitors really noticing them as such. If it is done in a conversational style, through imparting valuable information and then recommending to the visitor that the identified problem has a solution with a subtle recommendation, then there will be more of an inclination to find out more rather than being faced with a cold hard sell that is often a turn off. The blog that goes a step further and imparts not only valuable information but has a personality, feels real and talks about current events, trends and happenings that have an impact on the particular niche, will have a much better success rate of followers and ultimately the generation of sales for its owner than the bland information only blog that is staid and uninspiring. When considering how to use a blog for your online home business, see it as your platform to educate, entertain, interact and then subtly use recommendations so the visitor can fill in the blanks that you have purposefully created within the information being freely offered.
