After reading a bit old mac magazine article comparing CMSs and concluded with ExpressionEngine by EllisLab with the reason being its ease of use (therefore, easy for passing CMS responsibility to web designer customers) and its support.
Then through EE Showcase, found a few links with a new point of view.

What Business can benefit from Blog
Blog is News so to benefit, you got to have news to share. News can be about your company, products, services, team, industry, whatever you wish your client would know so that they know you are the best to buy from.
Any innovative business got something they want to share, because it will show that you are at the frontier, that you are their solution. By sharing (resourceful information, maybe not company secret), you are constantly putting yourselves out there, just like any network session. By sharing, you gain friends, who will talk about you in the way that you want them to.
But for them to repeat the right information that would help you sell, you first must present them with the right information, one that is also interesting to them, one that they seek, one that they will be proud to say (repeat) to their friends.

Blogging and Web Design Service
Mr. Problogger is a very good blog on blogging business.
New thing I learn today, "Network Blogging" from 10 Network Blogging Survival Tips Blogging is a great community where people help each other.
What it thought me, apart from making just Web Design, there is Blog services to it. (One time payment vs. Monthly fee) It is more than just setting up the blog with the right platform and configuration and information architect.
It is a daily to weekly posting, and not just you, but a network of you. One important thing though, the job that you choose to accept must be your passion, otherwise, you are stuck with lots of research and writing, which if it is not fun, hard work will be too much to bare.
My interest would be self improvement, small business, sales, marketing, web development, new media, design, property, and some food and hotel. So I will be able to do blog for the business under those categories, because will enjoy it. It is more of a learning than cash.
But it seems like the only way to go for organic SEO and to promote your business website in the internet world, as well as networking.
