Effective blogging has a purpose, even more so when you think about business optimisation strategies and increased brand/product awareness. If you can keep the end reader informed/entertained enough to click on the CTA at the end of a blog post, then you have done the job as a "blogger."

To help you get started, here's a content marketing strategy checklist: Keyword Research: make sure you have a long list of keywords linked to your products, services, or brand. This list should be updated on a regular basis to incorporate new keyword ideas so that you never run out of material. Content Objectives: what are your goals for publishing content? Each piece of material might have its own objective. One goal could be to develop topic authority, while another could be to convert leads. Content Length: what is the expected length of your articles? Long-form material is highly regarded and often obtains higher traction in the SERPs. Keep the text shorter if the topic does not require 5,000 words. Style Guide: create a style guide to ensure that each piece of content has the same voice, tone, and appearance. Include specifics such as brand words' spelling and capitalization, the number of photos to use for each piece, and the number of subheadings to use. Pillar P...

Emotions Experiences Engagement The best brands tick all three boxes. If your content isn’t inspiring, educating, motivating, amusing, shocking, surprising, moving, empowering, educating or entertaining your audience... Then you’ll never realise the full potential of what social could do for you. If your content isn’t making people feel a part of something bigger than your social media page i.e. active participants in the community around your brand... Then you’ll never convert your followers into fans. If your content doesn’t drive shares and comments (and you aren’t engaging with your community by responding to their interactions)... Then you’ll never build strong brand affinity. Emotions. Experiences. Engagement. Once you've mastered these you can move on and choose the best type of content marketing for you.
