Towards the start of this decade, when Social Media websites started gaining dominance, market gurus predicted the death of blogging as we knew it. Today, several years later – blogging is perhaps at the peak of its popularity. Well-written, well-designed and insightful blogs go a long way in boosting the strength of your brand, by carving a niche for yourself in the interwebs. Blogging will help you in improving your business, and even help you in generating tangible revenue.
In my talk – which is intended for all audiences, I will touch upon several topics in the blogging domain. I will talk about techniques to write great blog posts that drive in traffic, and on how to leverage blogs to bring in revenue for your business. I will also be sharing some hacks to boost traffic and to improve Search Engine Presence, and above all – on building a brand through your blog – all by making the most out of WordPress.
