When it comes to content marketing, blogs are right up there in the copy production ranks. They’ve always been up there, but now they’re really up there. That’s because content is massive these days, with an increasing number of marketers ploughing much more of their time, focus and effort into content creation than ever before. Content truly IS king.

Gone are the days when content creation involved crafting copy that’s well constructed and carries your key messages. These days, it involves a whole lot more, including ticking the user-friendly box. Having a user-friendly website is no longer an option, it’s a priority for making sure your site is accessible to everybody, regardless of whether they’re viewing it on their desktop, mobile or tablet.

Blogging is a great way to gain credibility. Over time, it helps position you as the voice of authority within your area of expertise. It’s a really valuable way of standing out to readers without giving them the hard sell. Blogging also gives people a behind-the-scenes glimpse of your business, the type of organisation you are, your culture and your values.
