For some of us, and when I say us I mean me. Think about blogging we cringe at the thought of writing a long post about our thoughts or a story. I’m good with speaking words not physically typing them and making it all grammatically correct. It has never been and my guess is it never will be a strong skill of mine. But I know having a blog is important and we all need it for our businesses to rise to the top of Google, Pinterest, Youtube, ect. So listen in as we talk about why you really need a blog and Sahar’s top tips for being successful!

Why Do We Need A Blog:

It helps your audience get to know you, trust you, and helps establish you as an expert.
You Need a Blog to show up in search engines because of key words.
You can always repurpose content from your social platforms.

Sahar’s Best Blog Tips:

Just get something out there you will get better as you go. Just write and get it out there
Pick catchy Titles, it’s the title that gets people. Pick titles with lists, how are people motivated, do they want pleasure, or do you need to address a pain.
Make sure you are inserting your key words.
Be consistent in whatever way that looks for you and making sure you are posting in the way you can manage consistently.
Add your flavor.
Repurpose content for social media, e-mail, instagram stories, don’t waste your content.
Make sure you are writing to a specific person.
Search Pinterest and see what people are looking for in your area.
Make sure you have a call to action at the end of your blog.
