Writing is harder than it looks. Plenty of more dangerous and demanding professions exist, of course, but the humble appearance of stringing words into sentences, and into paragraphs, requires more of the writer than someone new to blogging may understand.

The FreshNets blog noted how a business side that is left to wither and die on the vine can provide information to customers, but will look unfavorably stale.

Small business owners with a talent for writing, or at least the ability to persevere through a hundred words of concise, grammatically accurate, mistake-free verbiage, should consider posting a blog with a new item each day.

FreshNets offered suggestions on doing this, with ideas like seasonal tips, advance notice of sales and specials, and news related to the business as hints. An outdoor supply business might talk about the current price of gas, cite an economic indicator on Bloomberg, and tout the availability of silent, gas-free push mowers, as one example.

If one can do this on a daily basis, and enjoys doing a small post each day to maintain continuity (let those readers know when you have a posting break), a blog represents a goodwill asset and a way to help drive traffic to the business, on or offline.
