WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE FOR BLOGGING?

Some people create and write blogs to support a business or promote their passion, but there are other reasons too. REasons for creating a blog might be any of the following:

  • Building their writing skills through practice
  • Marketing a service or product (individual, small business, or large company)
  • Building a business brand/identity
  • Building a personal brand/identity
  • Sharing opinions and reviews
  • Lifestyle commentary 
  • To provide information
  • Niche interest e.g. fan reviews, discussion of television/books, birdwatching, etc.
  • To tell their story
All blogging should be underpinned by a purpose; so before writing any blog, be sure you have a clear focus on what the purpose is/. If you are writing a blog for an employer, be sure you are clear about their purpose and expectation.
This course helps you first to develop a focus on why you are blogging, the to decide what to blog, how to write it and how to grow the readership.

Many blogs fail. Some succeed.

What you learn in this course will increase your chances of success and decrease your risk of failure.
