About

My name is Peter Renton and I am the One Hour Blogger. This blog is dedicated to the busy small business owner who wants to learn more about blogging. My goal is to teach you how to spend just one hour a week writing a successful small business blog.

I first started a small business blog in 2006 for my old label printing company, Lightning Labels. Since then, I have come to realize the power of blogging and what it can do for your business. I leveraged my blog to obtain speaking engagements, a column in an industry magazine and a lot of exposure for my company. I ended up selling Lightning Labels in 2008 (just before the crash) for an above market price.

I firmly believe that every small business should have a blog, but even though blogging is becoming more popular there is only a small percentage of small businesses that maintain a blog. And of those, only a small percentage do a great job and leverage the power of their blog. My goal is to change that.

The excuse that most small business owners use for not having a blog is that it takes too much time and there is too much to do. I know, I have been there. In my last business, we were a very fast growing company and there was never enough time in the day. But I dedicated myself to set aside one hour a week for my blog, every week.

If you don’t have enough time to start a blog but are curious about this 21st century medium then the One Hour Blogger is for you. Give me one hour a week and I can show you how to have a successful and thriving blog that can become a major asset for your business.
