If you take on this blog challenge, you’ll thank me later. I promise. Not only will you create relevant blog content for your audience, you will also be able to break the content into pieces for video clips, social media posts, and more. Plus, you can create a pillar page on your site with all the title and links, which can help drive SEO rankings.
Here’s the challenge.
Write one blog post per day. Blog posts do not need to be long, just 300 words minimum according to Yoast, in order to search engines to index them. Other sites, like SEO.Co and HubSpot, claim 1,000 – 2,100 words is better.
