We are VERY excited to share with you the launch of our Blogging Training Course. Blogging is an effective way to reach your audience in different stages of the buying cycle with relevant content. This form of owned media becomes even more powerful when the content is amplified online and in social networks. In this online training course, you will learn how to build a blog for your business or personal brand, and how to create a promotion strategy that drives big results.

Why is Blogging Important for Businesses?

Blogging is an effective way to expand your reach to a wider audience, increase awareness and keep your audience engaged. When you consider that 97% of visitors to your site are not ready to “buy now”, and they are there to learn more or interact with your brand in some way, it is obvious how your blog can play a big role in how you engage the majority of visitors to your site. Here are 3 reasons why you should consider blogging in your digital plan.

1. Blogging has big benefits.

Your blog is an opportunity to engage your site visitors and move them down the funnel towards the point of purchase. When your blog content is rich with useful information, you will also attract more traffic. Consider these facts:

  • B2B marketers who blog receive 67% more leads than those who do not.
  • Companies who blog receive 97% more links to their website.

2. Blogging is owned media.

Unlike when you post something on social media, you own the content of your blog and everything about it. This means you have total control over the layout, the content, everything. You’re not limited by character limits, image restrictions, or even the content of your post. This gives you the freedom to create content in a way that just doesn’t exist anywhere else.

3. Blogs are great for SEO.

Blogs are an SEO’s dream. Your blog gives you a platform to create an endless amount of content for every … single … keyword that someone might possibly search for. Of course, you’ll want to apply a solid strategy and create quality content that people actually are looking for. When you consider the keyword possibilities for what could result in quality traffic to your site, then you will see the vast amount of potential content that your blog can hold, and when optimized, can rank well in search engines and drive super quality traffic to your site!

Our Blogging Training Course gives you everything you need to build, optimize, and maintain a blog for your business or personal brand.
