I have been blogging since 2007, when I started I photography business. I speak from experience when I tell you that there are major benefits to blogging. Benefits that will affect your bottom line, your company's exposure and overall ranking with search engines. Truth is, if you're not currently blogging, you're hurting your business. If you have a stale, outdated blog, you're basically telling potential customers that you're not in-demand (no matter how busy you might actually be) or no longer in business. Yikes! Going months (or years) without fresh content will give off the impression that you have nothing to share and nothing to show.
