Here’s one of the hard facts about blogging — you have to keep doing it.

A blog is not a turnkey operation, it’s not like a static website you can build and then walk away from.

A blog is a living thing that has to keep growing, or die. If it keeps growing, it will help your small business in many ways — it will increase its “findability” on search engines, it will serve as a portfolio, as a soap box, and as a way to talk to people who, if engaged by what you have to say, will talk back.

None of that happens automatically, and none of that happens overnight (usually). And it won’t happen at all if you don’t write.

New bloggers usually start in very enthusiastically, full of the novelty and excitement. But then the reality hits — blogging is a lot like work!

But if you’re passionate about your field, or subject, or endeavor, you’ll do the work.

It’s really that simple.

Here are a few tips on writing blog posts that might help:

• What if I don’t always have time to blog?
• Tips: More ideas for when you’re stuck.
