Essential SEO for Bloggers

One of the most common questions I have seen from bloggers are on SEO related topics. Some of the most common questions are :

  • What is the difference between a follow and no follow link
  • Is it illegal to use follow links?
  • How do I just pick one keyword to write about in my blog post (referring to Yoast SEO plugin.)

In the last year, there has been a major upheaval in the SEO landscape. As a result, you might have seen your rankings and traffic drop. As a blogger, you need to understand how these changes can impact your blog.

If you blog, understanding how SEO works is going to help you get more traffic. You will learn the answers to the question above and more:

  • Latest SEO practices since the recent Google updates
  • Practical tips on how to make sure your blog is SEO friendly
  • What best plugins to use
  • How to write SEO optimised content
  • What’s the deal with keywords

There will be an open Q&A session where you can get your blogging SEO questions answered.

Bonus:

Attendees will get free access to a soon to be launched SEO for bloggers course.

How to Pitch to PRs – Insider Secrets an Top Practical Tips

We are kicking off January with a topic that is much discussed, How to pitch to PRs.

If you are looking to work as a blogger either part time or full time, you will need to start working with brands. Most of the time, this involves pitching PRs with ways that you can work together.

Rather than waiting to be approached to do random sponsored posts on your blog, you can take a more proactive approach by targeting brands you want to work with.

Of course there are right and wrong ways to do this.

This month, our speaker Megan Hallinan will walk us through:

  • How to pitch
  • When to pitch
  • The essentials of following up
  • Handling rejection
  • Increasing your success rates
  • …and some insider secrets

Megan wears both hats, as a blogger as well as a PR, so she has seen both sides. She is in a great position to tell you of her experiences of from both view points. She has a lot of stories to share about the pitches she has received and what was right or wrong about them.
