The writer then gave some very important reasons why it&#8217;s good for any business owner to have a relevant blog on their site. There comments were all well taken and things that I have <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lillicotch.com\/Blog\/?s=business+blog\">written about<\/a> before.<\/p>\n<p>While that&#8217;s all well and good there are also reasons, some of them good, to not have a blog. Here&#8217;s my reply.<\/p>\n<p>I agree with most of your advice about blogging, but it&#8217;s certainly not for everyone.\n<\/p>\n<p>Many businesses these days won&#8217;t put in the time to write good content on a regular basis and will give up long before they have an opportunity to build any kind of a community. You probably know as well as I do that a blog that&#8217;s stale and not updated often or at all is far worse than not having one at all.\n<\/p>\n<p>Lastly I have worked for and with many business owners who would rather have bamboo under their fingernails than let a visitor make a negative comment about THEIR business on THEIR site. They can&#8217;t imagine allowing and publicly answering a legitimate complaint can be good for them.\n<\/p>\n<p>I believe that creating and constantly updating your social media is the right way to go, but this thinking is far more common.<\/p>\n<h3>What Do You Think?<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently read a blog post that talked about how long it took for a customer to tune out the message that they should have a blog on their site.
