I found the course very informative and practical. only content promotion area I think a bit complicated for beginners. I learn a lot of practical knowledge and hopefully going to apply on my own blog as well as on Fiverr. Thanks, Ian cleary

  • Scott

I am not particularly computer or web-savvy, so much of this info was over my head. And there was a lot of info. But probably a great course for someone with more basic knowledge of the web, and social media, than me. Thanks.

  • zamibutt .

Simply outstanding. If you are a beginner blogger or advance one, this course is worth taking the shot. Value packed, to the point, informative, thorough and practical. I was doubtful before enrolling that duration is too short but this 2 hours equals 10 hours of any other course !!

  • Walter Roderick

As a newbie to the trade (50 gigs on Fiverr), I found this course to be very insightful. A bit overwhelming, but I'm not complaining. I just took a lot of notes and screenshots so I could come back to it for a refresher. I also Ian's other course on blogging.

  • SYED AFAQ HUSSAIN

Great course learned a lot. It goes really in depth and gives you everything you need to be successful thank you!

  • Rachel Crocker

really enjoyed it thank you!

  • John Eather

I thought the course was well organized and clearly articulated, however, I didn't really feel it offered me anything groundbreaking. I felt I had come across most of it before and thought there were areas that could have been explained in more detail. This course will not have you ready to take on clients - period. You'll need to research in detail all of the points presented if you are serious about offering your "Blog Content Strategy". This wasn't a bad course, but it wasn't for me and I've been left with buyer's remorse. It may be different for you.

  • forcontentworld .

Awesome information, brilliant downloads to start implementing what you learn straight away. Because I always knew a lot of the content, this was a fab refresher and would recommend to newbies too.

  • David Wells

  • klevitt70 .

  • lesleycat11 .

Really useful and interesting course. It's definitely something that I can see myself referring back to in the future.

  • sergiofelix .

Goes really in depth and gives you everything you need to be successful

  • Hafiz Fahad Mustafa

Course is for beginners. Should be another course for high level.

  • Chad Brown

The course absolutely rocks and comes with templates. The speaker accent is Irish and may need subtitles...but to use as a point is not really because the blog strategy has an international side of the river/ocean explanation on blog strategy. Awesome!

  • julieschoen .

So much useful information on how we can improve strategy for our clients!

  • Destany Matias

Gave me a lot of awesome on free tools! Also helped me create a good work flow and process! I'm so glad I went through the course

Great Course. Thanks Ian!

  • jovi206 .

I thoroughly enjoyed the course. Although I ended up taking it over a longer period of time that I had anticipated, it was well organized and allowed me to stay on top of my progress all the way through. I am looking forward to working new gigs of blog content strategy!

  • tuhin2u .

Very basic stuff, but useful for beginners. Best of luck!

  • Victor Anuom

The course was so interesting, it opened my eye with so many interesting tools and strategies i dont know about before but i have a question for the author regarding SEO yoast, my question is how do we make image to have ALT attributes

  • peterprevos .

A very comprehensive overview of developing a blog content strategy. The number of online tools that were briefly shown as a bit much to keep track of. It would have been nice to have some downloads with summaries.

  • mahbubulmottaqi .

Overall a great opportunity to learn more about SEO industry and especially content promotion strategy. I have found one wrong question options that has been said that "alt" as an HTML tag although it is an attribute of tag.

  • best_seo .

Wonderful series which explains ins and outs of Blogging. Fantastic!!

  • miriyes .

Amazing course! Clear, valuable, and full of tools. I recommend it 100%

  • melissahoff .

If you are on the fence about this course, jump on over. I had all the skills necessary to do a blog content strategy but I didn't know how to structure my research to successfully execute the strategy. This course is a blueprint to making any blog have better reach and return.

  • penspearls .

There were several instances where the video just wouldn’t play. It could be my phone/internet connection speed. Other than that, the course was outstanding!!!

  • uzairshah414 .

Amazing Course. Learned a lot from this course. Highly Recommended.

  • indio128 .

Very useful information taught in a very useful way.

  • Arrigo Lupori

Good. The course was good. I have a lot of new and fresh ideas on how to apply smart thinking to my own blog and how to get good ranking on Google. I would have liked a bit more hands on, dirty work though. There was a lot of talk on how different services do different things, which is helpful, but I would have found it more interesting if we could have been given universal knowledge. Overall, great course for the right price.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the purpose of a blog?

    There are all kinds of blogs, serving all kinds of purposes. Personal blogs give an insight into the lives of their creators, but many businesses also create blogs. A successful blog can establish a business as a respected authority in its niche, and support SEO. Blog posts can also express the ‘personality’ of a business better than standard website content. Finally, blogs provide an opportunity for content marketing – a subtle form of marketing that allows you to wrap promotional messages in something of value, like an engaging article.

  • How do you write a blog article?

    Don’t dive in! Instead, take the time to research the topic and plan the structure of your article first. Every article should start engagingly – with words crafted to draw the reader deeper into the text. If you’re writing a long-form article, it’s usually best to break the content up with headers and sub-headers. Bullet points and numbered lists also provide a reader-friendly format. Avoid ‘fluff’ and make each word count. Finally, remember that writing isn’t a one-step process, so always be prepared to edit and improve your work.

  • What makes a blog successful?

    It’s not enough just to post great articles on your blog; these articles need to align with your blog content strategy. That strategy should allow you to connect with your audience – so you’ll need to understand who you’re targeting, and what they’re searching for. Next, you’ll need a plan to put your content in front of your audience – that’s where SEO and content promotion come in. Finally, never accept that your blog is ‘good enough’; keep analyzing and optimizing your content – and your content strategy.

  • Does blogging help SEO?

    Yes – blogging is one of the most powerful ways to improve a website’s position in the search results. Building a body of keyword-rich content helps search engines recognize what a website’s all about, so when you’re blogging for SEO reasons, it’s even more important to keep your posts on topic. As well as being a great way to target valuable keywords, articles and blog posts can also attract backlinks. Always remember, the key to getting backlinks organically is offering high-quality content that provides genuine value for your readers.

  • How do you do keyword research for a blog?

    Keyword research is vital for a blog’s success. The trick is finding search terms used by people interested in your niche. This starts with a little common sense, but there are also some great keyword-research tools you can use. Google’s Keyword Planner is a popular (and free) choice, but paid tools sometimes provide more detailed statistics. Not all keywords are equal. You should ideally target keywords that are popular with searchers, but not too competitive. It’s typically easier to rank for longtail keywords (which include 3+ words).

  • How do I become a freelance blog writer?

    Fiverr is the perfect place to launch your career as a freelance blog writer! Every day, our Articles and Blog Posts category is visited by a steady stream of buyers, all looking for blog writers. It’s a competitive niche, but this Blog Content Strategy course will help you stand out; the badge you earn will show buyers that you understand the strategies behind successful blogging. Top-notch writing skills are important too – so sharpen up by building a blog of your own, or contributing guest posts to established blogs!
