Content Marketing: 8 Steps to Blogging Success

eight ingredients for blogging success

A resource for consistently creating appealing content for new business. 

As important as it was for an agency to have a Website it is now as important to have an agency blog. Creating a blog can become an appealing “gateway” to your agency and a strong point of differentiation from your competitors.

But it isn’t something to “check-off” your to-do-list. It must be done correctly to be effective.

Jay Baer provides some helpful insights and tools that you can utilize to make your agency’s blog successful. Jay is a social media consultant in Flagstaff, Arizona. We started our consultancies and blogs about the same time. We became good friends. He is rapidly becoming a leader in social media marketing.

He has developed this 8 step-by-step worksheet for creating a structured, useful blog post.

  4. Search Term
  5. Subheads
  6. Photos/Graphics
