DESCRIPTION
Statistics from the USA, Canada and the UK on the prevalence of blogging success. By age group, country and volume of posts. We looked at a sample of 802 marketers. The survey was online so we can expect that this was a fairly web-savvy group. Nonetheless only around 3 in 10 reported being able to maintain a blog.

However…
3 blog posts a year isn’t all that much for a business
marketer…
so we then asked
200 marketers…
“Do you have an updated company blog?
(more than 12 blog
posts in the last year)”
%
said they were unable to keep an updated blog…
…just 1% more than
marketers who said they were able to keep a blog
of over 3 posts a year!

almost irrelevant
If businesses are blogging, they are either doing
it well…
…or failing completely
better, easier business blogging
