Starting a blog..but I'm offering a service. Good idea?

8 replies
Hey folks..I am in the process of starting a blog that will focus on starting and maintaining a business. At the same time, readers will also learn not just about business, but also some tips and tricks on web development as well.

Since I also develop Wordpress websites, I'm considering the idea of offering my services through the blog. I know this seems like a generic question that surfaces on the forums all the time, but is offering this kind of service a good idea for a blogger?

    It is a great idea, a useful blog like you are describing can be a resource for your business and clients for years.

    As an 'expert' blogger, you will be in a good position to assist your potential clients in all areas of web development. You will have the chance to make expert recommendations and show your expertise in a variety of web development areas. Though you might consider focusing your blog's content more on web development techniques rather than generic business topic as this is your specialty.

      If you are looking to brand yourself as an expert, it would probably be simpler to choose one of those areas and concentrate on that. Both sound great but even though you can do both, I think you might have more success picking one or the other to start with.

  • I personally like you blog idea. Once you prove to your viewers that you are an expert in your field, it will be much easier to sell your services.

    It is 100% a good idea for a blogger.

    Just make sure that your blog is absolutely spot on and everything works. A few weeks ago a friend recommended a blogger that also offered services in the WP field.

    I wnt across to their site only to find it was poorly presented - which put me off immediately.

    Sounds a good idea, good luck!

      Romeo, I can't blame you for being put off by a poor quality blog. Once more, the old adage of "quality over quantity" is proven true.

      Thanks everyone for the responses. I appreciate it.
