I think businesses need to consider many factors (as you point out) before building a blog. I love your point about building an editorial calendar. I do this with all my clients. At the end of the day, businesses have to show ROI related to blogging. This step saves a lot of valuable working time. Love this post.

The only thing I would add is have patience and not just for 90 days! A blog sometimes takes months or even years to build momentum. Nice post.

So many clients contact me saying, “I want a blog”, and the simple question of “Why?” always stumps them.

They just don't know and these are truly great points you mention.

Thanks.

Tangible merchandise, information, avenue for stress relief, advice, etc....bloggers are salesman and often don't even realize it. Our readers are our customers...Thanks for the tips and food for thought This definitely was an enlightening post. Although, I would classify my blog as a personal one.
