Blogs are being used for many purposes. Whether you are a photographer, graphic designer or a showbiz personality the easiest way to make your online presence is to build a blog where only you are the administrator and no one else can intervene into your posts or comments. You are the blog holder therefore you make rules and manage things.
In the 2006-2010 era people use to create facebook pages to gather their fans on a single platform or to showcase their products at a simple stage from where people can buy and order things. Think about a mobile store which has some new imported gadgets to sell so the first thing he will do to promote his merchandise will be to promoting his gadgets on his Facebook page but from the start of the 21st century think tanks were predicting about the potential of the online business blogs because Facebook and other Social media platforms were not just enough.
I mean, you can’t make separate pages for your every single product. Once you have made a post about a product it will stay on top for a particular time until you do not publish other posts because after 5 or maybe 10 posts your first post will disappear from your page therefore your old products won’t get any exposure thus you won’t get any sales.
So you can tell you users about the new products but when you will do it you will be actually hiding your previous products which can still give you some more sales. Some customers have high budgets therefore they can purchase the latest gadgets but some have low budget hence they will be more interested in old and cheap products but you can’t sell them now because they are now being pressed by the other new posts into the very deep area of your page.
That is the reason why you need a blog where you can introduce your new products and you can also make sure that your old products don’t go into an exile. Meaning your customers will still be able to buy your firm’s previous products.
You can ensure that your old products are still getting exposure by making a separate page for them on your blog. Or if it was a series of products(for example: Andriod phones with different version) then it will be a good idea to make a drop down menu for your old products from where your users can reach those posts and pages from where they can buy your old products.
So I think I have made my point very clear that why blogging was used as an important factor for online businesses and how it can help a business to grow online but as we all know that for the betterment of a system or to make it more powerful software’s manufactures used to introduce plugins. Whether you are a gamer, software engineer, social media marketer or whether you are from any occupation you must be known of this term “Plugin”.
And when it comes to Blogging, WordPress is the biggest ever platform for bloggers which internet ever had. More than 32 percent of the internet is being owned by WordPress blogs. From CNN to Al-Jazeera, most of the blogs are being created on WordPress.
Well, I know you know all that but the point I am trying to raise is that wordpress is the biggest platform to create blogs. Do you know why? Because it has some multidimensional plugins which will give you the every single opportunity to make your blog as much good as you can.
So here are 5 of the most important WordPress Plugins for Business blogs.
