The Blogging Bootcamp

Struggling with your
blogging strategy?

So you’ve heard business blogging is important.

And that blogs and articles build your authority, know-like-trust factor, and SEO.

And you know that having a strong online presence is key in this day and age.

So why aren’t blogs part of your marketing strategy?

I reckon I know why.

I’m guessing some or all of the following sound familiar…

  • I struggle to find the time to make it happen.
  • I don’t know how to structure a blog to ensure it’s engaging and interesting.
  • I don’t feel I have anything valuable to write about.
  • I get writer’s block every time I sit down to write.
  • I get too confused by SEO and how to write effectively.
  • I don’t know if it’s worth writing blogs – does anyone actually read them?
  • I already write blogs, but have trouble releasing them consistently.

 

If we’re on the same page here – pardon the pun – you’re gonna love The Blogging Bootcamp course and membership!

Why do I need to blog?

Once an online journal, business blogging is now a key marketing tool. It actually provides you with a CORE piece of content for you to repurpose – and turn into a consistent content marketing strategy.

Here are some interesting stats:

  • Blogging leads to 55% more website visitors. (Source: Hubspot)
  • 59% of B2B marketers say blogs are the most valuable tool they use. (Source: Demand Metric)
  • Investing your time and effort in blogging will increase your chance of making money from it by 13 times. (Source: Hubspot)

So it’s time to jump on the blogging train if you’re not already….

Frequently Asked Questions

The membership includes a Do-At-Your-Own-Pace online blog course – so you can smash it out in a weekend or take 6 months to complete it. But that’s only part of the whole experience! There is also regular group coaching, Get-It-Done accountability sessions, and more. It’s basically like a gym membership – you’ll get more value if you get more involved.

This membership should *support* you in your marketing strategies – not create extra, unnecessary work.

This membership is perfect for business owners who need guidance and accountability (1) to start and finish their monthly blogs, (2) to structure and optimise their blogs for SEO, and (3) to learn more ways to engage with their target audience (both potential and existing). 

It’s also suitable for marketing coordinators or administrative assistants in charge of blogging at your organisation.

I have plans to consistently release new trainings — from both me and other industry experts — as the year goes by. The ultimate aim is to further help you improve your blogs and amplify results.

But aside from these awesome pockets of knowledge, The Blogging Bootcamp’s primary aim is to give you the confidence and accountability to make blogging a consistent part of your marketing strategy.

You’ll learn the basics, industry secrets, expert tips and tricks…but all these amount to nothing if you are not consistent in applying them every month.

I’ll coach you through any mindset blocks – basically anything that’s stopping you from having a consistent blog routine. I’ll help you consistently come up with new topics and you’ll get feedback from others in the community.

And there will be fun prizes in it for you too!

We often get asked if it’s still worth the time, energy, and money to write blogs when videos can get so much more  engagement.

While that may be true, it doesn’t change the fact that a blog is a core piece of content that you can flesh out to become a video, a social media post, a podcast – literally anything.

Any well-written piece of content helps you establish credibility and show that you are a professional in your industry.

And besides, if you want to make a video with a smooth flow and an engaging story –  you’ll need to write a script anyway – which can be posted as a blog too!

If you are unsatisfied with The Blogging Bootcamp in any way upon joining, please let me know ASAP.

If you’ve been a member for less than 14 days, we’ll give you a full refund.

After the initial 14 day period, there will be no refunds. You can cancel at the end of the 12 month membership if you’re not seeing enough value – but I know you’re going to love it here. There will be more and more trainings added as the months go by (providing extra value).

And – consistency is key when it comes to creating a strong content marketing strategy! Our Facebook community has your back at all times.
