Blogsite Not Website

If you are confused by the benefits of a blogsite over a website you are not alone. Many people ask me “Sandra, why would I want a blogsite when I already have a website?” Others ask “Sandra, I hear that blogging is a great way to get my name out there but how do I start and should I have a website too?” These are all good questions but let’s start with the basics.

What is a blogsite?
A blogsite is a blog with all the features of a website and much, much more. On the website side, you’ll have a static menu bar linking to your web pages (e.g. About Us, Contact Us). On the blog side, you’ll be able to publish posts, articles, promotions and tips without a degree in Computer Science. With a blogsite you’ve got the features of a website and the functionality of a blog all in one.

If you use a blogsite you won’t need a separate website or a separate blog. A blogsite is an “all in one” business tool!

What are the advantages of using a blogsite over a website?

A client of mine asked me to set up 3 blogsites for him. Within 3 days each of those blogsites were at the top 10 of Google’s list. One of them was #1, another #2 and the third blogsite made it to #7. We used WordPress to create his blogsites and posted 3 blog posts in each. Thats all we did to get him those fabulous results. It would take Google 6-8 weeks to find a static website and display it on it’s results.

My clients enjoy their WordPress blogsites because they have the freedom to update and add content on their site. If you ask the owner of a static website how long it takes them to update their site they’d say something like “It costs me $50 per change” or “I no longer update my site as it is too time consuming and frustrating”. Even I, the Tech Coach, doesn’t like updating html sites. In fact we stopped supporting html sites because we don’t want to go through that pain!

With a blogsite platform like WordPress you can add functionality to your site that would cost you tons of cashola. In fact adding functionality to your blogsite is free. You see, there are thousands of people around the world creating WordPress Plugins and they give them away for free. These plugins, or in plain English, accessories, can be added to your blogsite to enhance functionality, get better SEO results and build a community on your site. You can add a poll to your site, list all of your social networking links, make it easy for your visitors to email your post to their friends, add YouTube videos, add your podcast to your blogsite and much, much more!

As you can see, I could go on and on about WordPress Blogsites. If you want to know more visit our blogsite www.WordPressBlogsites.com to download the audio “So what is a Blogsite really?

So what is a blogsite really? Why should you care?

What difference would it make to your business if you knew what it was?

Would it attract money? clients? speaking gigs? magazine columns? the clients of your dreams?

Would it make you the go to person in your market?

Would it give you the ability to make changes to your site when you want to without knowing any geekese?

Would it attract Google?

Would it allow clients to find you instead of you seeking them?

If you do not care about any of the above, then please don’t keep reading and ask yourself “Why am I in business anyway?”

If you do care and you want to know more then I invite you to attend a free teleclass to learn more and ask your questions. We promise not to use any techie jargon and explain everything in plain English!

What can a Blogsite do that a website can’t?

This is a question I get all the time. Here’s just part of the long answer.

A website (a traditional site created with html) becomes a pain to maintain. You either need to know html, have expensive software to update it or have your web person update it when they have time.

A blogsite is easy to maintain and you can update from any computer in the world (yes macs and PCs) with internet access.

Google and other search engines are giving priorities to blogs over regular sites for many reasons. Two main reasons are that blogs are updated with fresh content more frequently than regular sites and blogs are structured in a way that makes it easier for Google to find, index and add them to their list of results.

With blogsites you can:

* create static pages such as “our services”, “our products”, “contact us” etc.
* maintain your own website
* blog by posting articles, tips, promotions, etc.
* interact with web visitors and start building a relationship with them
* promote your newsletter, services, affiliate programs
* get Google to fall in love with you and your site as it’s built with search engine optimization in mind
* take advantage of web 2.0 functionality
* add media to your site easily
