Hi Heather,
To directly answer your question, I don't update my blog nearly as often as I should. By way of providing some helpful tips, it helps to keep your business blog up to date if you strategize what kind of topics you'll talk about, above and beyond sales copy. Sales copy is excellent, and needed, but you can also generate a lot of content that demonstrates your authority in your industry or nitche by talking about current events in your industry. Also, if you're using WordPress to power your site or blog, you have the ability to schedule posts, which means you can write on one day and then schedule the posts to publish either on that day or for days in the future.
Hope this is helpful,
Amanda

Who do you fire? That depends on a lot of things. First, what kind of content do you have on the site? Is it being updated with relevant, useful (to your audience), actionable content on a regular basis? Are you doing everything you're being asked to do by your web developer/designer/content...

Who do you fire? That depends on a lot of things. First, what kind of content do you have on the site? Is it being updated with relevant, useful (to your audience), actionable content on a regular basis? Are you doing everything you're being asked to do by your web developer/designer/content strategist? Content and SEO go hand in hand. Are you paying attention to both? Tracking data and, more importantly, making educated decisions on how to act based on that data? Was the site designed and developed with a clear goal in mind? Does every piece of content, every feature, and every page fulfill a specific purpose related to the overall goal of your website? Saying a website is done is like saying your lawn is mown. It's not a one-time thing, it, like your lawn, has to be maintained, and it takes a lot of work either on your part or on your web master/developer/designer/content strategist's part to make sure it continues to perform. If the answer to any of these questions I've asked is "no," or "I don't know what you mean," or "I don't know what you're even talking about," then you're going to need to spend some time doing some serious research and evaluation of what you've got, and what's been done and being done on everyone's part before you think of firing someone. Because the person you may need to fire could be you.
Here's a good place to start. A website is an investment. If you paid $500 for a website, and you expect it to do well, you are not going to get that. Websites are investments of time, a lot of hard work on everyone's part including yours, and money. How much of the latter depends on how much you're outsourcing. But even if you don't outsource anything at all, you're still going to need to invest a decent sum on somewhat of a regular basis.
Hope that helps,
Amanda
