Blogging To Reach Your Intended Audience

John R Ramos • Jul 14, 2021

Blogs are mainstream tools for any business online  

You may be tempted to think that each of the media that innovative marketers use to reach clients and/or potential clients is a standalone communication tool.  Quite honestly some of them are self-contained.


The reality is that they all are interconnected and no matter how one decides to use them, the tool that unifies it all is a content-rich website.


So let me jump right to my topic of the day.  *Blogging*


Blogs are mainstream tools to any business to get their ideas out to the marketplace.  [As I write this article, please keep in mind that I am trying to convey to you, my readers, how valuable blogging can be to your web presence]

Ok, so let’s continue.   Readers of blogs view the information they are digesting as a form of real, authentic communication between them and the business they are searching for.


Sometimes if an article [or in this case, a blog] is written by a CEO, the reader may consider that person as being out of touch with the latest on the topic-a-hand.   Sometimes a common mistake of CEOs and business owners doing their own marketing and advertising is that they’re just too close to their own products.   They can’t see the forest for the trees, so to speak.


However, if the blog is written by someone within a large or small company, a nonprofit, a church, or a political party, or is outsourced to professional writers [bloggers] that in itself, will command attention.


You see, a professional writer or a content writer, on the other hand, is coming to the table with no biases and a fresh perspective.  They’ll look at your product with zero prior knowledge of its existence, in many cases.


A content writer who is worth his or her salt will take an interest in your business and will work tirelessly to understand it while maintaining their clear-eyed objectivity.   It’s this objective stance that helps them write creative and innovative content that doesn’t rehash the same old tired clichés plaguing your industry.

Blogging, a Front Door Opener

Blogging is a great front door opener for any individual or organization because it helps build brand awareness as well as it will establish one as an expert in their field. [And by the way, it does not happen overnight]


And here is another important point I would like to make…creating a blog that showcases your brand in contrast with all the social media networks, is a no brainer.  You see you never own your real estate with these platforms [Twitter, LinkedIn, Google], algorithm can change from one day to the next, leaving you starving for “viewing eyes”.


I know, I know, “blogging” in some circles, at times my carry a negative connotation with some people that have the belief that what they are reading is just “fluff”.


Well, I am here to tell you that if you create valuable information to market your business [mostly educating your readers about your products/services/introducing your staff, etc.] then eventually your “blogging” will pay off.


In future articles, I will write more about how to establish your own blog.  As you get started, I will suggest to you to monitor blogs that are in your market space, that alone will teach and/or will give you an idea how to compete with others that are in your niche and how to possibly shine within the intended space.

In a recent post, I wrote about ten reasons a business needs an updated website. In this post, I would like to elaborate a little bit more as to why you should consider my suggestion(s). As an email marketing specialist and content writer for small to medium-sized businesses, I want to talk to you about something super important for your website: optimizing it for mobile devices. Nowadays, almost everyone uses their smartphones and tablets to browse the internet. That's why having a website that is mobile-friendly is so crucial. It provides a better user experience and can improve your search engine rankings, making it easier for potential customers to find your site. A responsive design is one way to ensure your website is mobile-friendly. . This means your site's layout and content automatically adjust to fit any device’s screen size. Pretty cool, right? Another way to optimize your site for mobile is by optimizing images. Large images can slow down your site's load time, which can be frustrating for mobile users. So, compress images and reduce their file size without sacrificing quality. Simplifying navigation is another crucial factor for mobile optimization. Use clear, concise labels for your menus, and make sure they're easy to access from any device. This can help mobile users find what they're looking for quickly and easily. Testing your website on multiple devices is also a good idea. This will help you identify any issues that must be addressed to ensure your site looks and functions nicely across all devices. Lastly, prioritize speed. Mobile users expect websites to load quickly, so minimizing the use of large images and videos, using browser caching, and compressing your code can all help reduce your site's load time. . So, there you have it! Optimizing your website for mobile devices is essential for providing a positive user experience, improving search engine rankings, and driving conversions and sales. As an email marketing specialist and content writer for small to medium-sized businesses, I encourage you to consider these tips and make sure your website is optimized for mobile. . Your competitors may have updated their websites, which can make your site look outdated in comparison. Updating your website can help to ensure that you stay competitive and that your business stays relevant in today's digital landscape.

Topics covered: What is Content Marketing Blogging Defined When to Consider Content Marketing vs Blogging As I get more and more into this thing we call “Digital Marketing”, I try to tell my clients and prospects that they need to start blogging. Then I get asked, what’s the difference between “blogging and content marketing”? . Ok, so let’s talk about this. The terms are used interchangeably when they are not the same (at least not 100%).

How Email Marketing Works in 2021
By John R Ramos 11 Jun, 2021
I am sure you do know that building awareness for your business is important. But how do you stand out and actually get the attention you need to reach new customers and generate new opportunities? Building awareness means having a way to stay top-of-mind with existing clients, and being able to reach potential clients in the process. Email marketing can help you communicate and share industry updates with your existing clients. It can grow into one of your biggest assets for brand awareness. People will talk about your business because somehow, they heard about your business, thru an email that was sent to one of their friends and so now it becomes word-of-mouth advertising. [Not a bad thing to have happened] If you’ve been struggling to get the reach you’re looking for, email marketing can help. Consider these four tips to help you get started:

If you’re like many of the business owners I talk to, social media marketing feels overwhelming. And it often feels like you’re spinning your wheels — doing a lot of activity across many channels with little to show for it. Don’t worry, you’re not alone, it’s a common frustration. Luckily, a lot of this frustration can be alleviated by busting a few common social media marketing myths when it comes to myths vs reality. Ultimately, social media should allow you to generate awareness, engagement, and action for your business that you wouldn’t have gotten otherwise. You should reserve your business name on the important social channels so you have it. But you don’t have to be active everywhere. That’s why we recommend starting with one channel that makes sense for your business. Ideally, choose a primary social channel based on the clients you’re trying to reach. Also, consider what channel you’re most comfortable using and how it fits with the personality of your business.
