Back By Popular Demand! How to Write, Grow & Sustain an Effective Blog

A blog is a powerful tool for business or for personal use. A blog helps you establish expertise in an area. A blog drives traffic to your website, giving you better search engine optimization  (SEO), and helps build your brand. It gives you a platform to tell your story or to simply create a community. The list of benefits go on and on.

While a blog is simple enough to start, many people get lost in the writing and maintenance of a blog. Some common questions include: What should I write about? How long should a blog post be? How can I consistently come up with good content? What should I do after I hit the publish button?

This class is for those who have started a blog but need help keeping it up and growing it.

This class will give you tools and best practices in order for you to:

            • Create regular content for your blog

            • Write effective blog posts that encourage reader interaction

            • Promote your posts in order to grow your readership

*Students should have a blog set up prior to this class. For a quick tutorial on how to setup a WordPress.com blog, visit http://www.socialquickstarter.com/content/54-setup_a_wordpress_blog.
