WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Blogging and working with influencers can exponentially improve your marketing reach. Whether it's people finding your business through Google searches or influencers promoting your brand to their thousands of followers, there are loads of ways to reach new audiences for free or low expense.

Both take time, but are more than worth it with the right content plan and knowledge on how to blog and best work with influencers.

In this workshops you will understand how blogging can help your organisation & build your brand awareness. We will look at best practices for writing, editing and promoting your business blog. The session will also look at how best to work with influencers to promote your organisation.

You will learn:

- The benefits of blogging (now and long term!)

- What makes a good blog & content idea

- How you can get your blog (and business) seen by more people (SEO & marketing)

- How to find and work with the right influencers for your business

By the end of the session you will have a sound understanding of developing a successful blog, ideas for how to promote your blog and tips for setting up an influencer campaign to promote your business.

WHO IS IT FOR?

These workshops are aimed anyone running or working within an SME who is thinking about starting a blog for their business or working with influencers as a marketing tool.
