People are growing more and more keen on reading reviews online before purchasing a product or service. You could review different brands of a certain product for example, backed by your own expertise and experience.
Surveys are very useful for gathering feedback and observing trends. The thing is, people hate filling out surveys. The key here is to keep things as short and effortless as possible. In your blog post you can talk about a few related subjects, ask a few questions and have a simple comment section or voting section at the bottom. Enabling comments on your website is also another great way to invite more conversation and to generate even more topics.
Even blogging is going green! Take a look at the traffic on your blog posts, find out which articles generated the most interest, how people found them and expand on those subjects. You could post an update to the original post or simply just keep adding to it.
Your blog isn’t as complicated as you might think. All you’re doing is speaking about your areas of expertise and who knows your business better than you? Blogging is perhaps the most important part of inbound marketing, as it helps draw in new visitors who will eventually become leads and customers. Get started with blogging now with our free guide:
