We've run a few rounds of Blogging Boot Camp. On Thursday when we kick off, it will be our fourth run through the series. This time we're going to upgrade the content. Out of the rotation will be the first 'how to create a blog post' class where we looked at the mechanics of creating a visually compelling blog post (this class will now be bi-weekly and you can sign up by checking the ARU calendar. We'll be replacing that class with a class about how to go about selecting keyword phrases. We'll also take our link class and change it up a little bit, instead talking about some of the other calls to action we can use in our blog posts to drive action and possibly generate leads for our business.
These are fundamental concepts that you need to understand in order to make your blog a source of lead generation for your business. We have the original set of Boot Camp classes recorded and available for you to watch here.
Over the next three weeks we are going to take you through a new series of classes. The most important class in Boot Camp, in my opinion, has always been the SEO Class. In this class we teach you how to write a blog post that ranks on the first page of the search engines. We'll still have that class. But we'll mix up the other two classes a little bit and bring in some expanded discussion on calls to action, as well as have an entire class focused on selecting keyword phrases and how to determine want to write about.
I'd love if you'd get signed up for the next round of Boot Camp classes below. I promise you'll walk away with something that will help your blog be more effective as a means of generating leads for your business.
