Why You Need A Blog As An Indonesian?

Why You Need A Blog As An Indonesian?

Today we can find more than 10,000 blogs in Indonesia. Yes, you read that right! 10,000.

And with so many Indonesians creating new blogs each day some who don't have a blog yet, you may be thinking: "Why create a blog if there are so many?"

I know many people who think the same and for that reason (or for any other reason) still do not dare to express their ideas, knowledge, and experiences on the Web.

However, not because there are so many means that the doors are closed for new bloggers. On the contrary, today more than ever Indonesians with conviction, determination and a desire to contribute are needed.

Today it is very easy to start, make yourself known, connect with people who have similar tastes and passions to ours and influence with your own unique message. That is one of the wonders of blogging: NO ONE has the same knowledge, experience, and ideas; and consequently, no one can post like you. Each person has a unique identity that can make a blog successful.

The Incredible Benefits of Creating a Blog

Boost For A New Business

When a new business or company is created, nobody knows it. It is like coming to live in a new city; You have to start from scratch, get to know places and people and gradually become familiar with everything. The same happens with a new business or company, you arrive in unknown territory with the aim of being the protagonist and making yourself known. This is one of the most important tasks of any Indonesian entrepreneur who is just starting out.

A Better Job

Looking for a new job with more growth opportunities? Start your blog today and distinguish yourself from over 264.2 million other Indonesians, some of who may also be looking for a job.

Today many (or most) companies do a little research on the Internet of each of their candidates to be hired.

It's your turn. Your future boss reviews your documents, goes to Google (or Linkedin) and writes your name in the search bar. Instead of leaving your Facebook profile with the photos of the weekend party (as happens with most), the link to your blog appears.

Upon entering, review all the articles and content you have written, which are of course related to what your new position in the company would be. By the end of reading some blog posts, that person has gone from being your future boss to your current boss. You are hired!

And all thanks to your blog. Well, maybe not everything, but it did help you. A blog is synonymous with knowledge and experience. This resource should not be wasted.

Promote A Brand or Product

Today it is much easier than ever to create a new product or brand. It can be an application, a digital book, a course or even any physical product.

Creating a product (or buying it and then selling it) is the first step. What follows is a whole process of promotion and marketing that will allow you to attract visits and traffic to your website and thus publicize your new creation.

There are hundreds of ways that you can apply to promote a product. One of the most effective and best results are blogs.

On your blog you can post endless information related to the product, for example:

What is it

How does it work

Its advantages

Testimonials from other people who have used it

Promotions

Tips or lessons related to the topic

News

Much more

Blogs like /id.valueq.com/ is a good example of influencer blogs in Indonesia that guide its readers on what to buy and promote a lot of products. Not only that but you can also find lots of deals and discounts on the site which is one of the magnets to attract customers.

Remember: on the Internet information is power. And with a blog, you have that power to influence, promote and sell any product or service.

Create an Audience

By offering relevant and valuable content, it is normal for people who take advantage of all this information to return to your blog to continue learning. As more readers you have, a small audience is formed that reads everything you post, knows you and trusts your knowledge.

This is an invaluable advantage. Know that there are Indonesian people who are willing to read and learn from you.

To avoid leaving that audience adrift and wait for them to return to your blog of their own free will, it is best to use email marketing, capture emails and send messages with links to your blog.

Each message can represent hundreds of loyal Indonesian readers who benefit from your content and help grow your business.

All parties win.

Offer Services

Digital products like courses and e-books are a great automated sales model. Applications and software can also sell very well, especially if they meet a significant need.

But we must not forget about the services. There are many people who do not want to learn with a course. They don't have time, they don't have the disposition or for any other reason, they need someone to do the work for them.

Services work for this. A company or person that offers services has an ally in a blog that will allow them to publicize what their work is like, their style and the results that they can give to the client. All of this in advance. Free of charge. Leave everything ready to be hired thanks to his valuable blog entries.

By creating a blog, you can also receive immediate feedback from readers interested in the services you can offer. In this way, you adapt your offer more to what the market really needs.

For selling services on the Internet, a blog is really necessary. No matter the niche or the topic.

I could go on to name more, but it seems to me that these are more than enough to demonstrate the power of blogging and content marketing.

So what are you waiting for? Start your own blog as soon as possible.
