3. If you’re a new company, a blog can help you build trust & recognition. If you are an established firm, your post can help you maintain a solid reputation as a great resource in your niche.

• Create a publishing schedule. Think of your blog in terms of “monthly or weekly issues” and plan accordingly. Companies who post a new article 3-4 times a week are successful.  Don’t rush the publishing schedule and planning phase of your blog.

  Create a master list of keywords. Align your keyword from your website to your list of topics

• You ‘ll want to write ahead. Having a reserve of articles will help you maintain your publishing schedule.
• Determining how long each post depends on which SEO Expert you ask. Some experts will have the opinion that “300 to 500 words are best”. Others will tell you “1,000 to 2000 is best.”
• For Beginners, start out with what you are the most comfortable. We find that the length of our blogs highly depends on the subject or topic. Start smart, write the minimum 300 to 500 words for Google, and don’t overuse your keyword or words.

PRO TIP: Posts written like you are having a conversation with your audience tend to perform better for attracting new readers and followers. Avoid using legal jargon and a highly technical tone.
