How to Start a Business Blog

The professionals at Corporate Business Solutions use our knowledge, experience, technology, and an unrivaled commitment to providing client service to help bring about positive change in small to medium-size businesses.

Our experts have noticed that a trend for small and medium- size businesses is to launch a blog as part of their marketing plan. However, many business owners need assistance in starting a blog. 

Here is a general guide many professionals are using to help when starting their own business blog:

1. Choose a blogging platform. There are many different blogging sites you can use, but one of the most versatile and user-friendly platform available is WordPress.org . This site is fairly simple to use, although non-techies might need some help with the setup.

2. Decide on a theme. One of the best features of WordPress is that it allows you to easily customize the look and feel of your blog, using themes.  When choosing a theme, determine if it displays properly on a variety of devices, including desktop, tablets and mobile devices and if it is customizable. 

3. Register a domain name. Next, choose a domain name, which is the URL used to access your site. A domain typically costs about $10 a year.

4. Purchase web hosting. While your WordPress site is free, you’ll still need to pay to have your blog hosted, which costs more than the domain rental. You can purchase your web hosting service through a number of different companies, but some of the more popular are GoDaddy, Hostgator and Bluehost.

5. Create a plan and start writing. Some factors to consider when planning for your blog are your main objectives for blogging, how often you will blog and the voice of your blog.
