Sez Who? Business Blogging Statistics

There are 45 reasons to blog.  

Oh, yeah? Sez who?

Tatiani Liuberets’ Internet Marketing Blog can answer the “Sez who?” question; she’s collected stats from sites such as Hubspot, BlogHer, Sysomos, and InsideView, all attesting to the power of the blog. As a business blog writing trainer, I thought year-end might be a good time to pass along at least a few of those numbers, by way of encouraging the troops.

 

 

Blog content writers are trusted.

  • 81% of U.S. online consumers trust information and advice from blogs. (BlogHer)  
     
  • So, what about business-to-business blogging?  Companies that blog have 97% more inbound links. ( Hubspot)
