We've issued a challenge to small and medium sized businesses for 2018: Double your blog traffic in the next 12 months.
It starts with a four stage process, at the heart of a successful content marketing strategy. Without following these steps, content marketing for your company can quickly become a waste of precious resources when your carefully crafted content isn't being seen by your target audience.
We recently hosted a four-part series on Facebook Live to explain each step of how to double your blog traffic. Below are are four episodes to watch anytime and kickstart a meaningful increase in your blog traffic.
