Check the progress here! TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES: [00:27] Today’s Topic: How to Only Produce Blog Posts People Want to Read [01:00] Content marketing is hit or miss. [01:15] A lot of the content we produce does not get read. [01:42] Go to BuzzSumo and it will show you your competitors most popular content. [01:50] Also try UberSuggest, which will help you track keyword trends. [02:00] Ahrefs will show you Google’s most popular search results, so you can see how your competitors rank. [02:11] Google Search Console is another great tool that helps you figure out what keywords and topics to go after. [02:48] Take all of your information that you have gathered using the above tools and combine the results. [03:10] Always try to provide a new, unique spin on the topic at hand. Have a point of view. [03:50] You have to have more “at bats”. [04:00] The more opportunities you have, the more likely it is for you to get a hit. [04:30] Look at content from a social and search perspective. [05:10] Check sites with similar posts and reach out to them. Get them to cross-link your post. [05:32] Share new posts on all social media sites. [05:57] Going live on YouTube can actually get you more views. [06:30] That’s all for today! [06:35] Go here to see how many downloads the show is getting.
