Today I am overjoyed to announce that Darren Rowse, of ProBlogger.net, and I are launching the ProBlogger’s Guide to Blogging for Your Business.
A little over four years ago I purchased a dormant business in the Caribbean with no customers, no cash flow, and no Internet presence. Without blogging and the possibilities that it provided me to educate my customers, to share my story, to rank well in search engines, and to promote my venture there is a good chance that my business would have failed and would not exist today.
Nowadays, with the advent of many forms of social media, more possibilities exist today than ever before for you to share your business’s story with the world, engage your customers, and interact with donors. However, blogging is the cornerstone from which your online presence should be constructed.
ProBlogger’s Guide to Blogging for Your Business is a 143 page step-by-step guide that’s targeted for business owners, nonprofit leaders/managers, and individuals who want to use blogging as a base to develop a comprehensive social media footprint and online presence. (Note: it is NOT a make money blogging book!)
The guide is like having your own personal blog coach and was written from the bottom up with the following question in mind:
How can our knowledge and what we’ve learned about blogging help to remove the technical barriers to entry and content creation frustration that so many newbies and would be business bloggers struggle with?
Many business owners plan to include a blog as part of their marketing strategy but soon find themselves asking, “Where do you start?”
With ProBlogger’s Guide to Blogging for Your Business all of the guesswork has been removed. The guide will help you create an online presence for your business that:
- reaches the right people
- builds your customer base
- increases your profile and influence
- is easy to set up, manage, and build upon
The step-by-step advice will save you hours of time—and endless frustration.
- set up a WordPress blog … without any technical know-how
- conduct targeted keyword research … even if you’ve never done it before
- understand your online competition … whether they’re next door, or on the next continent
- build a strong social media footprint … even if you don’t know the first thing about finding “followers”
- set a successful business blogging strategy … no matter what your product or market
- write blog posts that educate, engage, and build trust

Who’s this book for?
Small to medium business owners and not-for-profits who don’t have an online presence will find this book an invaluable asset. Also, it’s perfect for you if you have tried blogging before only to give up after a week or two.
Whether your business is online or off, the advice in the guide will fast-track your development of an online presence that’s perfectly integrated with your brand, and reaches the right audience.
As a business owner myself, the book assumes readers are:
- time-poor: you don’t have time for guesswork and dead-ends
- action-oriented: you want to do, not read
- focused: you understand that building a business blog will take time
- astute: you’re not looking for get-rich-quick gimmicks
- human: you don’t want to feel overwhelmed of frustrated
- determined: you need to succeed
