3 Ways to Better Market Your Small Business Blog

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

social networkingHello and welcome to Chesapeake Digital Technology´s blog. We’re an information technology firm in Maryland.

We provide several services, like InternetMarketing and Technical Support to small and medium business.

So you’ve got an amazing, potentially award-winning blog. Welcome to the Internet. There are lots of both terrific and terrible writers out there, waiting for their voices to be heard. You are now one of them. Now here comes the tricky part, how do you get them to look at your blog before everyone else’s? Well, there are a few ways to make this happen. One of the fastest and most reliable is to submit them

Digg.com

Digg is one of the most popular socially powered aggregate news sites on the Web. Users must register before posting or commenting on the site, but membership is free. If you are submitting an article, you submit the link and provide basic details about the post. You choose the category, enter the Title and Description, and send it on its way. Your post will appear on the site relatively quickly and then users browsing the New Posts section will see it. If they like it, they vote for it (Digg It!).

Facebook

We’ve talked before about using Facebook to promote your business. If you have a page for your business/blog already, then you can update it as necessary to reflect new posts or marketing strategies to draw in more users. Facebook’s status as a social networking site makes it a great place to spread your influence. Bear in mind, you may want to get involved in various Facebook groups to get your name out there.

StumbleUpon

SU was around for a while before either Digg or Facebook, and as such has a decently sized user base. You must register to use it, and then you submit your articles in the same way that you would with Digg, though StumbleUpon offers a bit more description possibilities. The cool part of StumbleUpon is their “Stumble button that takes into account info from the user’s history and randomly suggests a site.

Using WordPress to Get Your Thoughts Online Quickly

Friday, July 16th, 2010

wordpressHello and welcome to Chesapeake Digital Technology´s blog. We’re an information technology firm in Reisterstown, Maryland.. We provide several services, like Internet Marketing and Technical Support to small and medium business.

Okay, so getting your content on the Web should be easy, yeah? Turns out, it is. Granted, the scope of this content varies, but if you’re looking to throw some words and JPEGs at the Internet, WordPress is a free, quality solution to your problems.

WordPress, like Blogger, is a blogging solution for people who want to publish content on the Internet. There are several options for users looking to take advantage of what WordPress is offering. The free option is great for starters. You get to register a name and account, for example (yourbusinessnamehere.worpdress.com) as well as up to 3GB of storage. That is a lot for words and text, and best of all there is no charge. The other options are a little different, but may work better depending on your situation.

Paying for WordPress bring an increase in your storage amount as well as a few other perks. First, you can go ad-free. That’s a big deal if you are a business endeavor. Second, you can register your own domain. This takes away the “.wordpress.com” addition to the end of your blog name. You may have to change the name of your site, but this is definitely worth it.

Lastly, you could choose to host the WordPress software on your own server. This is an option for those already setup for serving Internet content or those who are comfortable with the idea. You have to do the maintenance on your own, so it might be worth just paying WordPress to do it. Either way, you can get your content online.
