Podcasts about how to blog

Did you know that you can leverage your blogs to attract more traffic and leads for your practice or business and even get search engines to send you traffic? Yes, those are two jobs that blogs can do as part of your marketing strategy and plan. But too many practice and business owners underestimate the power of blogs. They look at it as simply writing content that doesn't help their business or practice, and sadly, it's often because the blogs are missing key elements that make them effective. Missing elements that help people find you, search engines find your website and even bring in new leads too from all that new traffic. Now… I know that I've said a couple of words that make some people uncomfortable, the B and S words - Blogs and SEO…

Did Google kill blogging?  With Google's "Helpful Content Update" and other algorithm updates, should you start a blog, today?  Here are 5 things you must consider before starting a blog in 2024. Google's Core Update that has been rolling out through March 2024 (as explained in this video - www.youtube.com/watch?v=gawQ8s8pR8s&t=0s  has caused a lot of pain and questions from bloggers, niche site owners, and affiliates... The big question is:  Is blogging dead? And... Should you start a new blog in 2024? Some folks are saying blogging is gone and it's time to move on to YouTube or social media traffic. Now, I've been teaching folks how to blog here on YouTube for nearly a decade here, and the core How To Blog training is still relevant - www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRPBDCoTaGM&list=PL0sOKzn__yK2yKtTKx0SS78Q9GLpnZ0l-&index=1&t=0s But man folks are scared that blogging is dead. Yet, others are doubling down on their blogs in hopes of a traffic recovery from the Google algorithm update. But, is there a middle ground for bloggers? Can you still use a blog to help you make money online without being all in on Google? Can you rise above the Google algorithm and SEO traffic schemes and still succeed?  Do you need to buy SEO backlinks if you want to make it online? This video reveals the 5 ways that bloggers are still able to use their blogs to grow their businesses online without depending on traffic from Google. And, if you're struggling to drive traffic to your blog, watch this video for some much needed perspective: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl32PZtFb5Y&list=PL0sOKzn__yK2yKtTKx0SS78Q9GLpnZ0l-&index=10&t=0s Because a Blog should not be your one and only traffic strategy. It should be 1 component in a broader traffic strategy as explained in this video here:  www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WFqp53RazY&list=PL0sOKzn__yK2g4VZBBB2ZwvEGWtWnMrGV&index=1&t=0s Remember... No matter what happens in the world of SEO and Google Algorithm updates, you still need a place to publish your ideas, your tutorials, your reviews, your recommendations and your affiliate links! A YouTube channel is NOT enough for a long term successful online business, either. Now, I teach how to use YouTube to grow your business online here:  www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUfQ88PCd-o&list=PL0sOKzn__yK2-3bo52OP_TTiFQope2r06&index=1&t=0s But again, thinking you can do ONLY YouTube and ignore the rest of the marketing channels (like having a blog, too) is EXTREMELY RISKY! Because, if you went 'all in' on YouTube or Social, you're putting yourself in the same situation as those who were all in on Google SEO traffic and just got slapped. This video offers bloggers some much needed perspective about blogging in 2024. Whether you're a total beginner blogger.  Or whether you've been blogging for a decade or more like my wife and I have... This video will teach you the 5 ways we are using our blogs in 2024 after the Google algorithm updates to grow our businesses online without needing to build backlinks or mass publish AI content to a blog. Remember... Your blog is a great way to build your BRAND. Look beyond the ups and downs of traffic and you'll see a bright future for your online business and your blog! This video shares the types of blog posts that make money online - www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWDFy-qAXBk&list=PL0sOKzn__yK2yKtTKx0SS78Q9GLpnZ0l-&index=4&t=0s

If you want to make an impact fast with your blog, then there is one thing you must do: become a big fish in a little pond. If one of your biggest concerns is that there is just too much competition, then change it in your favor.The best way to shrink your competition is to get more specific on who your audience is in the first place. This strategy is often referred to as “niching down.” Perhaps you’ve also heard the advice that “the riches are in the niches.”BONUS: For a limited time, you can download our Discover Your Blog Niche Blueprint by going to: http://BloggingYourPassion.com/discover

This week we are talking all about collaboration. More specifically, collaborating with brands. We are so grateful to sit down with Meredith Staggers, who is a Collaboration Queen - seriously she does a fantastic job -and has been fortunate to work with many brands for a living. See a full list of her collaborations here. About Meredith Meredith Timms Staggers, is a blogger, photo stylist and the founder of Cake & Confetti. After working in the marketing and event planning industry for three years, she decided to launch Cake & Confetti (named after two of my party must-haves!). Since 2013, She has seen the business evolve from party planning to a multi-faceted styling boutique + blog! She is fortunate to collaborate with amazing brands for a living, and believes in celebrating life's little moments whether it's with a glass of bubbly or a slice of cake! Meredith Trippled Her Business in 2018 She credits part of this growth to sharing authentically with her audience more about herself and her life in her Instagram feed instead of just her stories. "People were able to get to know the person instead of just photos of cute desserts." She tells us, "pick a few things that you love and are aside form what you're paid to do...and share those". "People want the real," not just the perfect flat-lay. She also put herself out there more with other bloggers for collaboration. How Do You Reach Brands to Collaborate With? You can reach out to the brand itself and pitch a collaboration, but you are subject to the contact form landing with a random person. Meredith suggest finding networks and influencer groups that post collaboration projects with brands that you can apply for. You pitch ideas to the brand for them, and if they feel you are a good fit they will reach out. Meredith says she may receive one for every fifteen she applies for. But she has also found work through a brand manager that would pitch her or through a hashtag like #HoustonBlogger that look for bloggers in a certain market. Choosing the Right Brands to Collaborate With? Partner with brands that fit in your life, things you have actually tried. "I've got to stay true to my brand, and yes, sometimes that means passing up thousands of dollars. But if I lose the trust of the people that follow me, I have nothing." Your audience can tell when something is not authentic, "there is a certain way you talk about things if you really care about them." Planning Out the Collaboration Project and Schedule Brands will typically provide a deadline of when something needs to be live. Meredith likes to work backwards to make sure she has the time and space to complete the project and post. The concept idea itself, which has typically already been pitched and approved, drives what she does. Her goal is to always bulk shoot when she can, and she will a week before make sure she has everything she needs for the shoot, whether it is something she already has or needs to be ordered. Meredith likes to keep the number of posts that are sponsored limited to two per week so that the other two can be more personal or organic - party planning, Piper (her daughter) photos, things she has been loving - to keep it more well rounded. Most of her sponsored posts have shifted to Instagram, allowing her the freedom on her blog. Aspiring Blogger? "Just start... you never know unless you try. And it's not going to be an overnight thing." Meredith started in 2013, and it took time to get to the point where she could hire an assistant to help out. So you don't want to become an influencer to just make money, because there is a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes. Have another reason, "figure out what makes you unique and share about that." If you put out good content that you are proud of the opportunities will come.
