Most small businesses looking to engage with their customers, both potential and current, have discovered how a blog can create great conversation as well as buzz around a product or service.
Creating a blog is also a great way to present a business as an authority on a topic by acting as a platform where readers can discover new and interesting information specific to the business.
But creating a blog for small business can be complicated, especially when trying to integrate it into an already existing site. With that in mind, the folks over at Simply Business have created a guide that offers both video and article tutorials along their road map that outlines the entire process.

Hi Rob,
Yes – I Tend to agree with Ryan’s comment,
If I had this when I started off It would have simplified the whole process of learning without too much heart ache by learning the hard way (through your own faults and mistakes). Thanks for sharing. And the interactive version is even better (when presenting it to a client for an example).
