Not all of us think<strong> Blogging</strong> for business is a breeze.  The idea of blogging can be a for some, right up there with going to the dentist. (Sorry to all my dentist friends) It just sounds so arduous, and like its just another thing we have to make time for.  I’ve noticed the word alone conjures up procrastination on the highest level. I run into so many business owners, clients, entrepreneurs who will say “I love to write” and when I ask them why they haven’t started a blog yet, their response is, “I have know idea how do that.  Then the barrage of questions come, “How do you start a blog? How often do you have to write one? How do followers find you? “What do you mean it has something to do with SEO? What’s SEO? What exactly is back linking? What is a guest blogger? What do you mean I have to comment on other blogs and link them back to my blog?

By the time you’ve asked all those questions you’re pretty much done with the idea of starting a Blog.

My advice! Just start, write about what interests you. My friend’s daughter started a Blog on baking. At 17 years old she has something like a million hits! Crazy. Check out her Blog. www.bakerita.com.  I’ve noticed when you just start, and write about what interests you, chances are others will find what you are interested in and want to stay tuned to your Blog. It becomes fun when you take the “work” and “outcome” out of it and write for the pure joy of it.
