One of our favorite content marketing methods is creating blog posts. There are so many benefits to blogging, such as driving traffic to your site, answering potential client questions, and positioning your company as a thought leader in your industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a few years of writing blog content for clients (and ourselves!), trying new things, and seeing growth, we’ve found some tools that help create engaging blogs that generate leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Content Management System (CMS)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You currently using our #1 blog tool, which is WordPress. WordPress is an open-source website builder and CMS. A tool that allows you to manage and house your site’s content. We chose WordPress because it offered so much in terms of functionality. But you can find plenty of other tools like Hubspot<\/a>, Wix<\/a>, or Siteground<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get started with our favorite, WordPress, simply make an account. It’s completely free to use. But we recommend self-hosting your site, which unlocks all the features of a WordPress blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marketing Tools<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Creating the perfect blog starts with knowing what to write. We use a few tools to help us manage and create content. We keep a content library<\/a> in our task management tool, ClickUp<\/a>, that allows us to repurpose older content. For writing content, we like to write in our content calendar on Airtable<\/a> first so we can assign status and purpose to each piece of content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once your blog is created, the next step you think of is how to promote it. Social media and email marketing are the best ways to reach your audience. We schedule our content in Hootsuite<\/a> to allow us to post at the best times and in advance. For email marketing, we use Flodesk<\/a> to create appealing email templates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Headline Analyzer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The headline of your article is crucial to its performance. It helps your audience know what the blog is about and who it’s for, including a very important – Google. So, you want to make sure your headline is eye-catching and optimized. That’s why we use Coschedule’s Headline Analyzer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s incredibly easy to use. You simply put your headline into the analyzer, and it gives you a score and some feedback on how to improve it. This blog’s original headline got a 54, so we made some adjustments until we got into the 70s with this one! It’s a great tool to use for writing better headlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
