POWER-UP YOUR BLOG POSTS

These ideas, in and of themselves, are just starting points to help you come up with your own unique content. To make sure that you get web traffic for your efforts, you’ll need to do keyword research. Choose topics that are already being searched for in Google. 

An excellent tool for finding industry-related topics is AHREFS. 

In this example, we can see that Sprout Social’s post about social media marketing is very popular with more than 50,000 traffic and around 1,800 unique referring domains. This immediately tells us that the topic is popular. 

However, you can’t simply rehash the content and hope for the best. Make it your own by adding your unique perspective.
