What is digital marketing?
One of the digital marketing tools that give the best results when reaching potential customers is Blogs, one of the fundamental content marketing strategies. It allows us to publish relevant and optimized content from our business sector to have a better positioning in the different search engines. So, if you want your business to grow and reach more and more people, a blog can be an excellent solution. Like a web page, a blog is a window to all Internet users, create a blog where you publish quality and updated content with a striking design, and be constant in it so that it does not fall into oblivion among so many abandoned blogs.
Advantages of having a company blog
A blog
offers many possibilities for various content and dissemination among different
channels. The main benefits that a blog can bring to your digital marketing
strategy are:
Visibility and
reputation for your business
Including
a blog as a section of your website generates greater brand visibility online.
In addition, the content you publish can be shared through social networks, in
the email marketing campaigns you carry out, and even in the news or digital
newspapers, thus generating more audience and web traffic.
Thus,
if you maintain a quality and updated blog, you will have an advantage that
differentiates you from those competitors that do not have it, demonstrating
your knowledge about the sector to your followers. As a result, you can become
an expert and improve your credibility as a professional, coupled with an
increase in the online reputation of your business.
Communication, loyalty, and monetization
A great
advantage that we have when it comes to having a digital blog is bidirectional
communication. Thanks to social networks and the comments section on blogs, we
can communicate with our followers, and they are with us. All the comments of
our followers, whether they are questions, evaluations, or suggestions, allow
us to better understand their interests and tastes, improving and adapting our
content and the products and services we offer.
If we
can maintain this brand-client communication, we will gain the loyalty of those
potential clients through our posts, increasing our subscriptions to the blog
and improving our positioning in search results. In addition, by having more
followers, we can offer more customers access to promotions and offers from our
business, improving email marketing campaigns which leads to higher sales.
Blogs
are also places where we can get extra income by advertising Display ads from
other brands or through strategies such as affiliate marketing, earning income
every time a user clicks on the ad.
SEO positioning
Keeping
a blog updated frequently and using the most efficient keywords in your
articles or posts can be very useful when it comes to appearing among the first
results of searches made on Google and other search engines (60% of web traffic
is directed towards the first 3 links of a Google search). Google analyzes many
factors when it comes to positioning websites and blogs, among them: that it
has original content, an appropriate URL, the domain of the website, etc.
Therefore, a good SEO strategy can help your blog position itself among the
first results of redirecting traffic to your main web page.
Include a blog in your digital marketing strategy
Creating
and publishing articles on your blog without further ado and a strategy is not
the best way to gain followers. Instead, you must follow a calendar to publish
and study what type of content to publish according to your objectives and
target sector.
Define the goals of the
blog
What
goals do we want to achieve? Objectives such as gaining an audience and
followers, improving your brand image, or increasing your sales are examples of
objectives that you could set for yourself when creating a blog. However, we
must know that these must be measurable and that they agree with the audience
we want to have, depending on the sector in which we work with our company. You
can help your strategy by visiting companies' blogs related to your sector to
observe how they work, what they publish, and how often or what the content
trends are in your sector.
Write for your audience
Another
key aspect is the type of audience you will address in your posts. Carry out a
sociodemographic analysis to see what type of audience your followers are
(gender, age, type of education, lifestyle, etc.) According to these filters,
you should publish your content in one way or another and choose your type of
writing, vocabulary, and the technical level of your posts.
What content to post and not to post
The
content that we will publish on our blog must be related to the sector of our
company, and apart from that, it must be original or information that is
difficult to find by users in other blogs, thus generating a loyal audience
that is looking for the latest in your sector. Start by defining the main topic
and the categories you will deal with. In addition, thanks to the different
blog tools, you can publish content in different formats than traditional text.
Your publications will be more interesting if you accompany them with
explanatory videos and images that accompany the text. You can also publish a
series of podcasts, which are easier and more dynamic for your followers to
understand.
Create a calendar for your posts and share your posts
As we
have mentioned, having a structured plan on the frequency with which posts are
published on your blog can help improve your SEO positioning. Plan what content
you will publish according to what dates you are, and upload appropriate
content to your blog according to the events that come on the next dates.
Platforms to create your blog
If you
want to create a blog online, you have plenty of tools, even with low budgets.
There are paid and free blog creation platforms, so you choose!
WordPress
It is
the most used platform for creating blogs with a free version. It stands out
for its simple management and has an extensive web-position content manager.
The free version offers 3GB of storage space and a paid Premium version in
which a wide range of themes and plugins are unlocked.
Medium
Created
in 2012 by the co-founder of Twitter, Evan Williams, you can create your blog
considering that the important thing here will be content since the
customization options are limited on this platform. However, reaching more
people with similar interests is a good option.
Blogging
It is
the blog creation platform devised by Google. It allows you to create a blog
without your hosting and gives you a choice between having your domain or not.
It is a free program with more limited functionality than WordPress, but small
businesses widely use it. In addition, it allows you to generate money since
you can include ads from Adsense and other services.
