In episode #961, we discuss whether blogging is still relevant. Tune in to hear if this method is still effective.

We have committed to throwing a FREE Marketing School Live Event in Los Angeles, once Marketing School reaches 1M downloads in a 30 day period. Take action: Rate, review, subscribe, and SHARE. Check the progress here!

TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES:

• [00:27] Today’s Topic: Do You Even Need to Blog Anymore?
• [00:35] We still blog, but we try not to spend money on it.
• [01:15] You can’t please everyone with one format, which is why it is important to blog.
• [01:21] Blogs still generate more traffic from a Google search.
• [01:40] Podcasting only gets good traffic for the first 30 days.
• [02:08] When you blog, you have more control over the SEO.
• [02:35] People are able to find you more organically.
• [03:00] In general, the answer is yes, but that doesn’t mean you need to create thousands of blog posts.
• [03:45] If you’re going to blog, write about new, fresh ideas.
• [04:05] Once Google recognizes your site as “quality” it will push your results to the top.
• [04:18] That’s it for today!
