What’s the point of blogging & social media for business?
How does blogging & social media help your SEO?
BEST PRACTICES FOR
BLOGGING & SOCIAL MEDIA
Create compelling content. Find a voice. Use keywords. Keep it fresh… Post on a regular basis. Engage in a casual conversation with readers. Include images when possible. It doesn’t have to be perfect.
The point of BLOGGING & SOCIAL MEDIA?
It’s a way to add new content easily to your website or
online presence. It allows direct communication, and helps you build
a community or “tribe” of folks who are interested in
your product, service, or message. It’s a great way to raise your (SEO) search engine
rankings. It’s low cost. It’s good for public relations and outreach. It’s quick. Compared with prep required for any
traditional media marketing, posting is quick. What if you’re not a writer? Creative ways to
find content.
