Summary

In episode #961, we discuss whether blogging is still relevant. Tune in to hear if this method is still effective. We have committed to throwing a FREE Marketing School Live Event in Los Angeles, once Marketing School reaches 1M downloads in a 30 day period. Take action: Rate, review, subscribe, and SHARE. Check the progress here! TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES: [00:27] Today’s Topic: Do You Even Need to Blog Anymore? [00:35] We still blog, but we try not to spend money on it. [01:15] You can’t please everyone with one format, which is why it is important to blog. [01:21] Blogs still generate more traffic from a Google search. [01:40] Podcasting only gets good traffic for the first 30 days. [02:08] When you blog, you have more control over the SEO. [02:35] People are able to find you more organically. [03:00] In general, the answer is yes, but that doesn’t mean you need to create thousands of blog posts. [03:45] If you’re going to blog, write about new, fresh ideas. [04:05] Once Google recognizes your site as “quality” it will push your results to the top. [04:18] That’s it for today! [04:49] We hit our goal of 1 Million downloads! So, we will be throwing a free event in Los Angeles this June. Check out this website if you would like to attend.
