TECH-BLOG Industry & Market Feasibility
• According to SEO Tribunal, there are 409 million monthly readers of over 2.2 billion blog pos
• US readership is estimated to grow up to 31.7 million by 2020
• B2B online marketers who have blogs gain 66% more leads.
• Over 57% of online marketers say that blogging gave them new customers.
The key to influencing conversions through your blog content is knowing your
audience. This means that your business should write about the topics that your
target consumers find most valuable. Rather than discussing topics that you may find
interesting, consider what is important to your audience and what they need to
understand before they can convert.
•Top-of-funnel: Top-of-funnel blog content should focus on your target
audience’s pain points and work to explain and address their greatest
challenges.
•Middle-of-funnel: Blog content aimed at the middle of the funnel
needs to focus on helping consumers understand potential solutions to
their problems.
•Bottom-of-funnel: Bottom-of-funnel content offers the final push to
conversion will focus on why your brand is the best option to help
consumers solve their greatest challenges.
TECH-BLOG Product or Service Feasibility Analysis
There are a number of ways that a digital marketing firm can help improve your blogging for
business:
•Improve Consistency – One of the biggest reasons that most business blogs fail is that
brands are often not consistent with their publishing schedule.
•Increase Frequency – Many small businesses don’t have the resources to produce as many
blogs as they’d like to
•Leverage Talent – Some businesses simply don’t have someone on their team with the
talent or skillset to write quality blog content
•Save Money – Instead of hiring a new team member to help write blog content, you can get
more for your money by working with an agency
•Get Results – Another important part of maximizing the benefits of your business blog is
measuring and tracking blog analytics and then using this data to improve your content
TECH-BLOG Financial Feasibility Analysis
Let’s assume Susan spends 10 hours per month managing the blog, and her
salary is $50,000. Paul spends 8 hours per month writing blog posts at a salary of
$75,000. Shashi also spends 8 hours at a salary of $95,000. Warren spends 5
hours at a salary of $150,000. Olivier spends 5 hours at a salary of $40,000.
Divide each salary by 2000 (hours worked per year based on a 40-hour work week
and two week’s vacation) to get average hourly salary compensation. In our
example, it’s $25, $37.50, $47.50, $75, and $20, respectively. Multiply the hourly
compensation by the number of hours devoted to determine the monthly salary
expense (10 X $25 + 8 X $37.50 + 8 X $47.50 + 5 X $75 + 5 X $20 =
$1405)
Take your monthly salary costs figure ($1405) and multiply it by your company’s standard overhead
calculation. This includes benefits, rent on a per-person basis, etc. Your accountant or CFO will know
this number if you do not, and it’s typically 40% – 50%. We’ll use 45%, so the overhead and benefits
cost of the blog labor is $632
Let’s assume that you had a Web development firm create your blog for $7,500. You did a slight update
three months later for $1,000, making your total costs $8,500, and your amortized monthly cost $354
($8,500 divided by 24).
Let’s assume your monthly blog hosting is $19, and you spend $19 per month on Inbound Writer to
help with you blog’s SEO, and you spend $19 per month on Formstack to create and manage landing
pages to convince people to download your white paper.
Your hosting, maintenance, and app fees are thus $57 per month.
Your total blogging cost per month is $1405 + $632 + $354 + $57 = $2,448
Estimated earnings
let’s assume you are the aforementioned Formstack, a provider of drag-and-drop online forms and
landing pages (and a Convince & Convert sponsor).
In Formstack’s case, it’s easier because customers can sign up directly online. They just
need to know what the average lifetime value of a customer is (although this may require
some guesswork for newer companies with less history). Let’s assume (again, not real
numbers) that the average new customer spends $25 per month with Formstack, and
remains a customer for 12 months. That makes the average lifetime value of a new
customer $300 ($25 X 12).
However, not all of that $25 per month is net revenue to the company. Formstack has
costs to provide the services to their customers, including technology, hosting, support,
and other expenses. Most companies know (or can calculate) their true revenue after
these expenses have been deducted (make sure you’re not double counting blogging
expenses). In this example, let’s assume the true revenue after expenses per
customer, per month is $19. That makes the actual lifetime customer value $228.
In this example, Formstack would be generating $6,840 from the blog each month
(30 sales driven by the blog X $228 average value = $6,840)
In this case,
Net Profit : $6,840 – $2,448 = $4,392
Cost of Investment: $2,448
ROI : (Net Profit/Cost of Investment) x 100% : ($4,392/ $2,448) x 100% = 179%

Five Porter Forces:
According to online encyclopedia Investopedia.com the Five
Porter Forces for Internet Industry are:
Threat of New Entrants.
You do not need to look far to realize that the cost of entry has fallen fast. It used to
costs an arm and a leg to launch a portal. The price of computer software and
servers and network bandwidth - of which portals consume a substantial amount -
was enormous.
Power of Suppliers.
Portals generally have little power over suppliers. Basically, this is because they don't actually own much. Most of
the information and services they deliver to users is supplied by outside companies – stock brokerages, new
magazines and the like.
Power of Buyers.
Availability of Substitutes.
Internet portals must defend themselves from a raft of substitutes. The most obvious are other websites that
offer the same, or similar, information and services.
Competitive Rivalry.
Feeble barriers to entry, a slew of substitutes and steadily increasingly buyer power combine to create a
disturbing impact: fierce competition and industry rivalry.
