The Country Living Association has some tips for getting your farm blog “planted online” this week.
If you haven’t already, think about starting a blog to tell your farm story and grow your business online. Though it may feel overwhelming to add another farm chore to your list, in reality, a blog is simply a web-published diary or journal usually consisting of one page into which the blogger regularly uploads fresh content, and it’s much easier to maintain than your website.
Here are five tips for launching your farm blog:
1. Before you start, take time to research other blogs to determine what you like. It will help you begin building a vision for your own venture.
2. Find a blog buddy, someone to walk you through the first steps on one of the free sites such as Blogger or WordPress. Sites such as these are relatively easy to maneuver, but it may help to enlist a friend or a local teen. Teens today are part of the “millennial generation” and grew up so entrenched in web technology that they can be your seasoned mentor.
