5 Tips for Blog Posts

five tips for your blog postsSince your blog is your marketing foundation, you want to be sure to follow these five tips for your blog posts:

  1. Create a conversation. To do that ask questions, invite others to write guest posts, respond to reader comments.
  2. Add links to other sites with information relevant to your topic.
  3. Always add an image to your post. I take a lot of my own pictures and create images. People are more likely to read something visually appealing. Then you can also add it to your Pinterest board.
  4. Use an SEO plug in such as Yoast to be sure you’re getting good SEO on every blog post.
  5. Share your blog posts on all your social media networks.

  • Optimize your titles by including those relevant keywords.
  • Write about solutions to problems your clients face.
  • Use your blog to earn your client’s trust.
