The Mia Connect Power Chat Blogging and Content
Written by Mia Voss
If you’ve never watched Mia Connect before, this is the perfect initiation. And if you have, you know what a fun ride it is. On this episode, Mia and her guests tackle the topic of content – the hows, whys and why nots. I should mention that our own Ralph M. Rivera was a guest on the show so he got to weigh in on things like where you should be creating and posting content, the benefits of getting on a schedule and how the Triberr platform can help your content get noticed. Other topics include using popups (love ’em or hate ’em?), web design principles and whether or not you should be cursing in your content. Now you really want to listen, don’t you?

As long as we’re talking about content, it’s tough to get someone to read it without first enticing them with your title. And yet writing a good title can be harder than writing a 1,000 word post. Sometimes you need a push in the right direction and that’s what Rebekah gives you. She’s been on this roundup before for a reason – because you’ll always walk away from her posts with something to implement. Check out her process for brainstorming and crafting titles that work and then try your hand at your own foolproof and incredibly catchy title.

The Secrets Of A Killer Blog Post – How To Get Your Readers’ Attention
Written by Ian Anderson Gray
Titles are one thing but what about the rest of your content? No, you can’t write an awesome headline and then call it a day. There’s more to be done! You’ve got to hook your readers (but how?) and pull them in (say what?) and maybe hardest of all, keep their attention to the end. Ian’s got you covered – from sharing the advice of a few hard-core content producers, to digging into the “whys” of blogging and even touching on some common barriers. Plus he shares a pretty thorough infographic that will walk you through the entire process from title to “the end”.

Forty eight! Adam will keep you busy trying out new tools and resources for sure.

Cool info to have about your competitors, huh? There are tools that can help with SEO, planning, creating and promotion.
