As a CEO, you have a lot of responsibilities and power. While the concept of blogging might have passed your mind a few times, it probably wasn't something you would have considered as part of your job or a way to use your influence to grow your brand or inspire others. However, blogging is not only one of the most effective ways to get your message out there, it's also a great way to increase brand awareness and customer engagement in the process.
In this article, we'll break down five reasons why every CEO should have a blog of their own, or at least contribute to the success of their business or company blog. By the end of this article, you should have a set of new ideas on how you can take your blog, brand, and business to the next level just by investing some time and sharing your expertise with the world.
You already know what it takes to run a success business or brand. This is something people are continually trying to master. With a blog of your own, you could share insightful stories, entrepreneurial advice and be seen as a thought leader within your space - all while helping others achieve their dreams. Not only will this help you establish yourself as an expert and thought leader, it will also reflect positively on your brand or business.
Reputation management is something every individual, brand and business needs to deal with in today's day and age. A great example of this would be if you were to Google your name - what would show up? By having a website or blog of your own, you can dramatically improve your chances of ranking higher in search engine results, which will mean your blog will be one of the first things those searching your name or your business's name will stumble upon.
You can also use your blog to link back to your other social profiles, which will push them up in search engine results. Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn are three of the easiest social networks to rank in Google for your name, brand or business. Make sure you set up a profile page with each of them, and share your blog content within these networks as well.
One of the most important components of running a successful business and brand is having a trusting relationship with your customers and clients. The more they understand what your brand is about and know you as a person, the more likely they will be to do more business with you in the future. A blog is a great way to build that personal relationship while also putting your content to work for you 24/7. It might only take you an hour to create a valuable piece of content, but the long-term ROI on that one article can be phenomenal.
When a customer purchases a product or service from a business, it usually just is what it is. Not many companies will share the fine detail on how their products are made, the people behind the company and why the value of the services that are provides is so important. A blog is another avenue for a CEO to portray this message while also providing great content and value in the process.
The world of blogging is all about content creation and putting meaningful stuff out there. At the same time, you never know who might be reading your content or where it may end up next. Whether it's being passed through social media and sending thousands of visitors back to your site or getting picked up by a big media outlet, once you create your blog and its content, it will start to have a life of its own. This is one of the most exciting benefits of blogging, as it will be working for your brand and business 24/7/36
Blogging isn't something you should jump right into and expect to see results overnight. Like any other business, it takes time, focus and effort. The good news is that getting started with a blog is as simple as writing a new piece of content and putting it out there for the world to see. Just as important as creating content is making sure it gets the publicity and marketing push it deserves. After pushing new blog content to your site, share it across all social media platforms for your brand, business and personal accounts.
