Blog Writing
Blog Copywriting Services
Let’s start with a definition – this one comes from Wikipedia because it was easy. A blog is a discussion or informational website published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete, often informal diary-style text entries. Posts are typically displayed in reverse chronological order so that the most recent post appears first, at the top of the web page.
Did you notice they said website? Did you know “technically” every blog is a website? Yes, every one possesses a unique URL, which you may link to and from and share easily. They can also individually rank in search engines. IF that information is new to you and does not make you want one, then you are doing it wrong. Top-Notch SEO without a quality blog strategy is like ice cream without the cone – you can do it, but something will always be missing.
Blogging for Business – Writing a Blog in Tyler, TX
A blog is one of the most cost-effective business tools in Digital Marketing. They are an integral part of a competitive Web Design strategy, and a Blog feature can be added to a quality web site easily. All you need to do is write fifteen hundred words in a certain way, about a unique subject once or twice a month. You add some images, throw in some relevant graphs, links to other similar content, and then publish and cross-link it to your other blogs and website while sharing it on social media multiple times.
Easy, right? We charge two-fifty to write one for you. Save that money and do it yourself; here is part of How.
Research Content for your Blog
New, useful content will give people a reason to visit your site. Whether they are brand new visitors or loyal and returning users, the more
people engage with and gain knowledge about your brand; the more likely these visits are to convert into sales.
Share your Expertise in your Blog
Blog posts are a sure way of demonstrating knowledge and building trust in a voice in your market or niche. Supplying a regular stream of high-quality, user-friendly blog content will give readers the impression that you truly understand not only your industry but also your target audience and their concerns.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for your Blog
Search engines of all kinds prefer websites with a constant supply of fresh content to index. By regularly adding quality pages to your blog, you will create more opportunities to show up in the search results (SERPs), causing more traffic to your site and thereby more chances to turn those curious visitors into conversions. Being an expert at keyword research is always a plus. Blogs would never be read by anyone other than your mom if they did not possess some juicy keywords.
Link Building for your Blog
If you have strong content on your site, other websites will want to link to it. If you write an excellent blog about trees and the National Arboretum links to your blog, your rank will skyrocket. However, once you start building up links to your blog, it’s essential to carry out regular link audits to ensure any pages you link from or to are good, or your rank will plummet just as fast. Bad links, or dead links, as we call them, are bad for business.
Tell Your Story Through Your Blog – Blog Branding
A blog is a great platform to showcase your brand’s personality using your tone of voice, the topics you cover, and the observations you make. Include information unique to your experience in business. Regardless of your blog strategy, any blog’s cornerstone objective should be to add value for customers. That means being informative, useful, and keeping self-promotion to a minimum. A self-aggrandizing blog will drive away readers. The most valuable content teaches the reader something new, but in a language and tone of voice, your audience understands and even enjoys. Your unique voice or brand can strengthen a current customer’s ties to your brand and can garner new customers at the same time.
Three Rules of Blogging
A Strategy is Essential for the Success of any Blog
Failing to prepare is preparing to fail. And when it comes to ensuring a successful blog, this is crucial. When writing content, outline every paragraph, and add value through images or imagery. Think about what you want to achieve from your blog, and consider your audience. Plan your subject matter and choose topics relevant to your audience.
Regular Blog Posting is Imperative
Have a strict timetable for posting. Regular posting is key to good blog SEO. A half-hearted blog is as bad as no blog at all. You need to feed search engines regular new content to reap the SEO benefits of blogging. You should schedule regular intervals to upload quality content. Never throw something together to make a deadline. Remember that a blog reflects on your company, not only on you.
Use a Consistent Voice in your Blogs
Keyword research is critical if you want to ensure you’re writing about things your customers are interested in. However, don’t compromise your content’s quality by cramming in as many keywords as possible to please search engines. Writing in natural sentence structures and using vocabulary that your readers understand will ensure your content is appreciated. Always choose quality over quantity. Providing a consistent flow of new content is essential, but filling your blog with long stories about puppies will not gain you readers when your business is insurance. Stay on topic.
Finally, stop talking about Blogs
Blogs are a lot of work. The fringe benefits of blogging for business are undeniable, but it is by no means a quick business fix. Creating and maintaining a blog that provides value for your customers, and your business takes a great deal of time and resources, but the rewards can be worth the investment. Blogs are like building blocks that can form the basis around a quality website design, ensuring your business’s digital marketing strategy is effective.
