So the question becomes, “Where to blog?”

To determine where to blog you should use the following tips:

Understand your target market – your ideal client will visit specific web sites on a regular basis.  Get to know your target audience and create a list of web sites, forums, community sites, social media and other online locations based on your audience preferences.

Leverage links – once you have your blog posted to your business web site you can post links to your blog on other places.  It is important that this practice is performed tastefully and not in a way where it would be perceived as spam.  For example you can post on Twitter about your new product release and anyone interested can find out more by clicking a link to your blog. 

Use SEO – your blog should take full advantage of SEO techniques and also include some authority site links so that your online reputation will improve – plus the authority sites may reciprocate in kind.

Consider PPC – pay per click, or PPC, can also help to direct traffic to your blog posts.  There are numerous ways to utilize PPC, but you should have an experienced online marketing company help you in the process so that you will not incur unnecessary fees.
