How Does Your Nonprofit Compare In the Blogging Economy?

Ignitespot, a small business accounting firm, has put together a fantastic infographic on the “blogconomy” – the international obsession with blogging that has spurred the economy.

Did you know that:

• 6.7 million people blog on blogging sites
• 23% of time spent on the Internet is on blogs and social networks
• 70% of consumers learn about brands through articles and blog posts rather than ads

I was not able to find specific numbers on nonprofits and blogging, but I do know some compelling reasons why nonprofits should explore this online marketing tool:

• —To improve SEO – search engine results.
• —To build trust and community.
• —To establish yourself as an authority on the issue.
• —If you are active on social media, you will always have new content to post!
• —To drive website traffic, email sign ups, social media followers and even donations.
