Topic: Blogging as a Way to Market and Promote Your VA Business

With Guest Host: Grant Griffiths

About Grant Griffiths: In February of 2005 my first blog was born. This blog was used to market and promote my business. Soon blogging became my only form of written advertising because of its reach and effectiveness. What I also discovered is blogging is one of the most powerful marketing tools available for the small business, home business and professional service firm. In fact, I am so sold on the effectiveness of blogging, it is the reason I am co-founder of G2WebMedia. And we recently founded Headway Themes a Premium WordPress Framework

I also now publish this blog and another blog who’s focus is on providing information to those who work from a home office, called Home Office Warrior http://www.homeofficewarrior.com/.

Prior to starting my first blog, much time was spent researching what the heck blogging really was. There were a few blogs out there about blogging. Many of them focused on monetizing a blog with ads and pay-for-links. My idea was different - How to use a blog to promote professional service firms. I use my blog, http://blogforprofit.com as the main location where I discuss using a blog to promote and market your business.

I'm excited that Grant is going to be doing this chat here! He really has a way of making it all so much more understandable. I've been blogging a long time both personally and now professionally but no one explained things like the difference between categories and tags in such an easy to understand way like he did.
He's also an avid supporter of virtual assistants! And if you ever had a doubt about whether blogging was worth it, you won't want to miss what he has to say.
