Author: Big Mac and fries go hand-in-hand and so does a cold and cough. When it comes to blogs, generally it’s not recommended to combine a personal and business blog unless it meshes well.
Shelly has a cooking/baking/foodie related product review blog. She also has a crafting blog, a direct sales/product review blog and personal blog and I have a health blog.
What all these blogs have in common is they are standalone blogs that are used for business or for personal. One thing many people make the mistake of is mingling their personal life with a business blog. In my opinon, it doesn’t work because do your family and close friends really want to read about your business or do you think your potential customers want to read about your toddler smearing poop on the wall?
It’s not hard to build a new blog, but it’s hard work to promote it, maintain it and work it and maybe that’s a reason it can be scary for some people, but it shouldn’t be. By not separating a personal blog from a business blog it can be detrimental to your business.
Another reason some people may be hesitant is not having enough material to write about their business. I think there are plenty of things you can talk about your business because there are a lot of blogs out there. You can focus on your products, but that’s not the only thing to focus on. It’s giving them the knowledge, the information and explaining why and how it can change their lives for the better.
Like a lot of things it’s best to just keep your personal life out of your business.
