Have a clear direction & idea
Today, you will find any Tom, Dick and Harry coming up with their blogs and joining this bandwagon without any proper preparation.

Check a number of business blogs and explore their strategies which make them successful and try incorporating them in your blogs.

Great advice – stay green by keeping yourself updated with the modern trends involving your business blog. And I appreciate the way in which you referred to our blogs as “business” whether they fit the traditional Forbes and HBR format or not. For each blogger, their blog IS business. I totally agree that we need to run our blogs with the mindset of entrepreneurs.
Thanks for sound advice.

I agree with you …. there has been a large turn around online, with more businesses becoming “Blog Savvy”.
Using a blog/website is now replacing the static website which was originally made for sharing your companies products and site map etc.
These days with more business using weblogs as their companies online structure, they are now finding they are able to target their audience and drive more traffic through their doors.
This is mainly being done by using free marketing strategies which of course businesses are also seeing a large saving in advertising once they are ranked on the search engines.
