Question

To Blog Or Not To Blog?

Mar 15, 2017 7:03AM PDT

Using Magento 2 I started to think over blog. What are your thoughts? I am almost convinced that blog is one more effective tool to attract the attention of the customer. If talking about fashion store as I have, blog is the prettiest way not only to give some information about the products, but also to highlight the latest news in a fashion world. At the same time I understand that I need a person who will create some bombastic posts...So I'm in a mess... Moreover my beloved Magento has "blog for Magento" extension. What are your recommendations?
Looking forward to your rely and valuable help.

Don't read blogs. It is however something you might do along with your big picture. That is, you sell headlamps so a blog on the site about photon conservation and installation makes sense but a blog on its own means you are a celeb with a twitter etc.

To Blog Or Not To Blog?
Mar 20, 2017 5:29AM PDT

Hello, R. Proffitt
Thanks for your interesting opinion.
I sell decorative cosmetics and as I understand from your reply it costs to have a blog from me in this case? I don't mean to describe my life days and nights... but I'm about the product itself.
Am I right?

Blogging is good... if you work it
Mar 27, 2017 11:31AM PDT

A blog can be helpful if you really target its use. Considering that Google factors how frequently your website changes into its ranking, simply posting anything can help keep your rank afloat. And content is the most important factor in SEO, so posting good content raises your rank and drive customers to your website. But you also need to promote your blog. The blog is both the advertisement and the product needing to be advertised, which can start to feel like a lot of work. Make sure your blog is a part of your website (not a separate url), post good content with images and video, and then get the word out about your posts through Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and forums. Otherwise, blogging can feel like a lonely, pointless endeavor.

Do blog. It's good that you're already using Magento. This ecommerce platform has that highest score for SEO. If you blog the right way you can actually drive traffic into your site.

You can start a blog about the products that you sell, but an awesome approach is to incorporate video blogs or "vlogging" with traditional written content. Video tutorials using the products you currently sell can be a great way to start.

There are tons of vlogging tutorials online which you can use for your reference. It's actually pretty easy. It's like blogging just by using videos instead of blocks of texts.

80-20 rule
Apr 26, 2017 11:44AM PDT

Blogging and content marketing is great, but only if you know how to work it to your advantage. It helps boosts your website presence and SEO. You can create relationships by blogging and attract more of your target market. Create a great piece of content, and it's evergreen and lives online forever!

But the thing is, blogging is a long term thing. You likely won't see results right away. It takes time. But most importantly, you have to know how to distribute it.

The problem with so many companies blogging is that most of them spend so much time on creating a piece that never gets read by anyone. People aren't just going to find your blog out of nowhere. You have to know how to promote it. That's why there is a rule: spend 20% of your time creating a piece and 80% distributing it to various channels. That's my suggestion!
