I'm still new at this, and from what I'm hearing, I'm not alone when I wonder...  Everyone said, "You have to have a blog to promote your shop."  But I don't understand why...  Now I'm promoting two web sites instead of just one.

So let's put our heads together and enlighten each other!  Do you have a blog?  How do you drive traffic to your blog to get them into your shop?  What helpful blog information can you share?

This chat will be Thursday, August 19 at 7 PM MDT.  Here are the times for other areas:

Pacific: 6 PM
Mountain: 7 PM
Central: 8 PM
Eastern: 9 PM

Here is a link for converting times for any places on the planet:  http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html

I've heard both ways...some say they owe everything to their blog, while others say to not even bother blogging to increase sales. Personally, I like blogging, but don't really get to do it often enough.
