You are an authority in your field and an expert. So show it! One of the most important things to do is to create quality content. This is where having a blog comes in. While creating quality content is important for social media, a blog allows you to expand on that knowledge. If you are a wedding florist, write blogs on how to pick the right bouquet, flowers, or color palettes. If you have a shop on Etsy, write about DIY projects you can teach. Writing a quality blog post that shows your expertise not only engages your audience but keeps them coming back for more.
It is important to be consistent with your content. I recommend posting 1 blog per week, at a minimum. This way, you are coming up with 4 posts per month and updating your website weekly. Even just 1 blog post a week will help boost your SEO rankings!
For each blog post, have a clear and defined goal of what the blog will be about. Will it be informative? Will it be about your services? Is it to increase inquiries? You also need to make sure you know what audience you are trying to attract. When you first start your blog, you may not have a clear idea of who your audience is, but you should have an idea. Is it a potential client? Or is it professional looking for advice?
Include a call to action throughout the blog post (and your website!). I like to have one in the introduction, as well as one in the ending of the blog post. For the end of the blog post, summarize what all you went over. Then encourage the readers to do something else. Offer them another blog post to read, where you go over a topic similar. Or point them to a service you offer.
When writing a blog post for a client’s wedding or a styled shoot, the story of the couple, and the wedding day should be the main point of the blog post. Every couple’s wedding is unique – so shine the spotlight on their day! This is also where you can bring in the vendors that were involved in the day, and how they made it unique.
