Now's the Perfect Time to Start Your Own Design Blog

This blog post is all about blog posts ... as in you should be writing your own! And to make it even easier to blog, we've got a special gift for you.

But first, here's why you should have a blog:

• It’s the simplest way to create searchable, shareable content that will help you get noticed
• It’s a great way to showcase your work
• It’s a marketing tool that allows you to be personable and show people who you are
• It’s a way to connect with past, present, and future clients online
• It’s a great way to connect your various social media profiles with your business

A blog will do more for your online presence. In today’s world, designers - and we're talking interior design, feng shui, jewelry, and wedding and event planning and design - are under more pressure to market themselves and stand out from the crowd. But at the same time, there are more opportunities out there that allow you to do just that. Blogging is one of those opportunities.

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.
