WELCOME BACK
IT’S BEEN A MONTH….
What have you implemented in your
business since the last session?
BUILD A KICK ASS BLOG THAT’S THE ENVY
OF YOUR COMPETITION
AIMS OF THE SESSION
By the end of the session we’ll all have an understanding of the
following:
• Understand the key reasons to blog and if it’s for you and your business
• How to plan a successful blog
• Decide what to and how to write great blog posts
• Find the best ways to get people reading and sharing your content
WHY BOTHER?
Key reasons to consider blogging:
1. SEO – search engines LOVE new content
2. User engagement, bring people back to your website more often (also
increases website traffic)
3. Social media content, more content for you to share
4. Be seen as an expert in your niche by peers, customers and prospects
5. Express your personality and style
IS IT FOR YOU?
Do you want to engage with your customers and
prospects?
Do you want to be seen as an expert in your field?
Do you want to increase the likelihood of a website visitor
contacting you for a quote or buying a product?
Do you want your prospects to have another reason to
believe in your products or services?
WHAT BLOGGING IS NOT….
It’s not a quick fix
It’s not going to generate sales and customers
overnight
You wont be seen as an expert straight away
BEFORE YOU START
Ask yourself these important questions
• Who do I want to read my blog (my ideal customer)?
• What do I want to get out of having a blog (purpose)?
• How often should I blog (and can I)
PLANNING YOUR CONTENT
Some content ideas
• What’s topical in your industry?
• Talk about your business (experience, events etc)
• Build your own themes (#fatfriday)
• How to’s
• Case studies
INGREDIENTS OF A TOP POST
• Enticing headline
• Pose questions to the reader
• Links to older posts and content pages
• Clear call to action
• Use at least 1 image
• Author bio
Take your paper planner and plan the next few
months blog posts, including an interesting
headline.
TASK
BREAK
HOW TO CHEAT, MAKING CONTENT EASY
• Look back at your social media posts, can they
be expanded to give you a topic to talk about?
• Make use of Google Alerts
• Don’t just write one post at a time

• Stumbleupon
• Guest blogging
• Use/promote your RSS feed
• Reach out to other bloggers
• Encourage reader sharing
