What’s a blog? It’s an online journal, a Web log. Blogs have been popular online since 1998, because they’re a fast and simple way for anyone, without any Web publishing experience, to publish online.

A blog is vital for build your copywriting services business, because it gets you known - as your blog’s content grows, you become more of a presence in the search engines, and get clients coming to you.

Should you create a blog? YES, especially if you don’t have a Web site. You can get a free blog at any number of online sites; Blogger (www.blogger.com) is the best known.

Writing a blog is as easy as writing an email message. All your posts to the blog are dated and archived, so it’s easy to find blog posts you made months ago.

Copywriting is the perfect write from home business. In fact, you don’t even have to be at home, you can be anywhere you please: your clients don’t know or care. They communicate with you via email, you send their copy back via email.

The magic of the Internet means that your business is portable. The Internet does something else for your business too: it brings you all the clients you could ever need - so many, that you’ll end up raising your rates and then raising them again, because you can’t work with every client who wants you to write for them.

“I had to stop blogging…”

I was chatting with a copywriting colleague last week, and asked her why she hasn’t updated her blog since mid-2006. Did she get tired of blogging?

She told me that blogging worked TOO well. She just got too many clients to keep up with her blogging activities.

I laughed - I’ve had that experience too, that blogging is an enormous client generator.

So if you’re looking for new copywriting clients, here’s the secret: use the Internet as a hands-off promotional tool - get a Web site, and get a blog.
